EU4 Black Screen After Briefly Showing Title

This seems to be a common occurance When I launch EU4 through Heroic Games through a flatpak, I am able to open up the launcher, but after that when I press play the title screen briefly flashes then the screen turns black. I tried using https://github.com/CommandMC/EpicLinux/wiki/Europa-Universalis-4 but to no avail installing later versions of d3dcompiler did not work My log is sent as an attachment, Thanks!

I just tested EU4 today, I got it to work with Wine-GE-Proton7-37, DXVK enabled, and I installed d3dx9_43 using winetricks you can replace the executable in the settings to launch eu4.exe to avoid the paradox launcher too

Are you having issues with dxvk included in newer versions?

Proton does not support the workarounds mentioned in my Wiki If you're following anything on there that includes replacing DLLs, don't use Proton

The wine version reports 5.11 when running winetricks even when WineGE-7-xx is being loaded so I guess there might be some issue on the wine versioning front but using dxvk 1.8 it works, anything above that and dxvk will complain

that is normal, it's a known issue and can be ignored, I understand it just reports the wrong version, but it's not wrong version

This forces older versions of dxvk for the game to run

never had that issue, even when wine reports an older version of wine I've always had a current version of dxvk installed

one thing that limits the version of dxvk you can use is the GPU, since dxvk 2 it requires vulkan 1.3 for example https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.0 and not all GPUs support that

Any Radeon GPU that supports Vulkan also support 1.3 as long as their driver is up to date tho with radv atleast On amd's own driver Tonga (e.g R9 300 series) and below arent supported anymore and dont have Vulkan 1.3

basically as long as your AMD GPU is from 2013+, you have vulkan 1.3 only on RADV tho you have a ryzen APU and that automatically makes you vulkan 1.3 conformant
