DX12, Vulkan, and CPU benchmarks fail. DX11 benchmark (Firestrike) works fine.
systeminfo is useless and can be disabled. DX11 + Vulkan + CPU benchmarks won't run
I'm booted back to the main menu with an Easy Anti-Cheat error every few minutes.
Had to install both mf-install and mf-installcab following the instructions on their respective github pages. Installing mf-installcab alone is not enough. Installing mf-install and mf-installcab after hitting the "watch monitor" bug didn't work; had to purge the game's WINE prefix, then install mf-install and mf-installcab in that order. Exact steps to get a working installation after starting a game and hitting the "watch monitor bug":
- Removed WINE prefix (
rm ~/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/397540) - Started the game and let the initial setup run.
- Disabled DX12 in the Options menu once the game loaded; the game fails re-launch with DX12 enabled.
- Exited the game.
- Ran mf-install
- Ran mf-installcab (don't forget to deploy mfplat.dll)
- Launched the game.
When properly configured, the game started with a couple of introductory logo videos instead of a black screen. A prerendered cutscene with narration from Marcus played when a new game was started.
Some stutter in benchmark and opening cutscene; game runs fine once the shader cache warms up.
