Selected Test Results

What works

The game works and everything I tested looks ok.

What does not

Performance is low with the built in wine 3D libraries.

Workarounds

For DX12 the DXVK/VKD3D is needed. Tested with version DXVK 2.3, VKD3D 2.10 and Nvidia 535.129.03 and the performance looks good.

Running the game with DX12 and the current VKD3D 2.10 may cause a one time freeze after entering the game. It doesn't crash the game but it takes 20-30 sec to recover. It's some dxvk logging problem. Some other
games have the same issue when running dx12 graphics.

To avoid that I added export DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none and export VKD3D_SHADER_DEBUG=none to the OS environment variables or this may be added to the game-config if you use some gui-launcher.

What was not tested

PvP battlegrounds not tested but they are about the load as a raid so they shouldn't be a problem.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

GPU: Nvidia
Driver: proprietary

VKD3D setting for DX12 graphics
by Stefanescu A on Saturday December 16th 2023, 3:58

It looks like the logging isn't the problem, disabling the log output only helps the game unfreeze faster. VK_KHR_present_wait extension seems the problem with the VKD3D 2.10/2.11 so disabling that extension seems to remove the problem. I added this to the setting of Wine but it should also works with proton

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_KHR_present_id,VK_KHR_present_wait

Offering RTX setup help for Nvidia using VKD3D-Proton
by Steve Ebey on Sunday December 3rd 2023, 6:07

Recieved a 4060TI for fathers day, and setup raytracing in conjunction wit VKD3D-Proton to run DX12 on Vulkan. Wonderful new visuals. I can provide help to anyone who asks.

I love to see your working, Steve. I've got a RTX 3060Ti, I think I can do raytracing.

Hey Steve, I got an email from here which suggested I'd had a PM from you...however, I couldn't find any way to access PMs. So I posted on the forums...apparently PMs have been turned off. XD
