Still doesn't work with AMD
On AMD shows the Stainless intro then crashes to desktop
broken on AMD
On Vega based GPUs it gets to the loading screen then crashes to desktop. This is the same on windows apparently.
Horizons - fine - Odyssey crashes on "Preparing planet generation system"
I started on a clean prefix and the same thing happens. While Horizons runs flawlessly after the install tweaks mentioned on this page, Odyssey crashes every time on "Preparing planet generation system" before the main menu.
Proton-6.5-GE-1
Crashes on startup 1/10 times, unsure on cause
gamemoderun %command% -dx12
Works great at 4k. Between 110-144fps on my 7900xtx maxed out but visual quality set to high instead of ultra. 100% completed the game without issue. Use -dx12 for about 5-10% better performance.
Steam automatically sets __GL_ExtensionStringVersion which works for nVidia for AMD/Intel systems using MESA you have to go into launch options and set it to:
MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2003 %command%
Would be useful if proton did this automatically like it does with __GL_ExtensionStringVersion
The wine registry key UseGLSL=disabled yields a 3-5% performance boost.
Use AMDVLK instead of RADV to remove mesh flickering
Fixed by using amdvlk
Works fine, runs fine, but a lot of texture flicking and graphical artifacts using the default settings. I used AMDVLK instead of RADV:
- Install AMDVLK for your os (steam deck/arch: pacman -S amdvlk)
- Specify AMDVLK in the launch option: Right click game, properties, launch options enter
VK_ICD_FILENAMES="/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json" %command%
Works flawlessly
Had one crash to desktop on the loading screen out of ~20 launches but flawless otherwise.
D3D8 is slow
Annoyingly, there is no way to get MSAA working on the OpenGL renderer. The D3D8 renderer works with MSAA (via Wine's SampleCount) but stutters a lot even on decent hardware. The native linux OpenGL mode alllows MSAA to be enabled in UT2004.ini but the Windows OpenGL is a no-go for MSAA.
I switched to the Windows version because I can't get the native version working on Wayland which I recently switched to. Which is frustrating as the native X11 version works better as it properly supports MSAA.
Black screen but sound works
Dosbox launches with a black window. If you wait a minute or so it plays the music from the intro video but doesn't display any image. If you wait for the intro to finish the menu still doesn't appear.
