Hello @KostWarCZE, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report. Additionally, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

There's known issues with llvm 6, so you'll want to try llvm 7 or newer. However, there were some other reports hinting that GCN 1.0 cards are having more video driver trouble with Vulkan than others.

You may have some luck with testing Proton's runtime options.

@kisak-valve i used pastebin + wgetpaste is it acceptable?

Dishonored 2 generally works well with AMD GPUs, but requires wine-staging patches which are not present in Proton.

I tested Dishonored 2 with proton and the 3.7-5 beta. The game launched for me just fine but won't launch with 3.7-6 now.

Proton Log

Gist - Proton Log

You may compare it with Proton Log of #1668

Symptoms

Game doesn't start at all. Not even the black startup screen I got with the first time crash of #1668. I didn't try to copy over the Prefix of #1668 to this this one here.

Might be worth a try. Also comparing both Gists might help finding the bug.

Both games have the same engine, therefore, the fix shouldn't that hard. Also I played Dishonored 2 with DXVK 0.7 + WineStaging for 20h before, so it is no Denouvo issue, too.

The problem is denuvo, since the Demo version of Dishonored 2 works flawlessly with proton

@ivohuisjes How can it be Denuvo if I already played the game flawlessly with DXVK and Wine?

Did you use vaniila wine or wine-staging?

might be relevant:

Based on informations from lutris https://lutris.net/games/install/6425/view Dishonored 2 require xact.

Based on my testing using staging-3.17-x86_64 with DXVK 0.81 and WINEESYNC=1 + xact game works on platinum, but has issues with popping/crackling sound.

Let me know if i can contribute to making configuration for games on proton.

Funny in all of my tests with Dishonored 2 both the full game and the demo. I didn't need to install xact or had any issues with sound. My issues with the game were related to not being able to turn 360 degrees. But this was fixed adding capture the mouse pointer in the wine settings.

@kisak-valve Requesting an XAudio2 label for this game... this is a Wwise title but they still use an XAudio2 context for the output stream.

AMD GPU open source stack needs this patch https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_requests/48 for working this game.
