The Witcher 3 - texture-load errors
The graphics on the menu look fine, but in-game, most of the textures look horrible. Same symptom in both the DX11 and DX12 versions.

"autoInstallVkd3d": false,turn that on
"autoInstallDxvkNvapi": false,leave this on
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
It looks the same in both DX versions with those on or off.
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
do it the way i said and post a new log
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
"autoInstallDxvkNvapi": true,
turn that one off
turn off game mode
don't change any more or less settings than that and then try again, post a new log
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant to leave the NVAPI setting on.

Game seems to be shipping a d3dcompiler_47 dll according to SteamDB, does anything change when you get it to prefix via winetricks?
rival-black•2y ago
did you verify game files to exclude potential corruption issue?
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
@RawToast
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
No, but it's a fresh install.
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
Please do not ping people
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Er... I thought the rule was "Do not excessively ping others without reason", not no pings at all.
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
I don't like it. Please don't ping me.
It's really not ever necessary to ping people here, we all watch all the time
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I did it only to indicate that it was in response to your last message. I'll just use a reply with no ping from now on.
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
i'm sorry if it feels like i'm coming down on you, it's just the 6th time today alone that i've been pinged directly
did you try installing d3dcompiler_47 through winetricks as was suggested?
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Log with d3dcompiler_47 installed. Same visual issue.
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
After I installed it through winetricks, Heroic said there is an update for the game, so I'm letting that download to see if that changes anything. Maybe there were missing files.
adverse-sapphire•2y ago
dope
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
The update didn't make any visible difference, so I ran a "verify and repair", which also made no visible difference.
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Log from the run after repair.
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
The only
.dds file in my game folder is The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY/content/content0/hdr/hdr_calibration_screen.dds, so the textures are, indeed, missing.ambitious-aqua•2y ago
So that is a Linguin issue :sunglase:
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Should I raise a github issue on the Heroic repo, or the gogdl repo?
correct-apricot•2y ago
I'm having exactly the same problem. Not sure if related but I filled this issue in Heroic repo https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/3222

Thanks, I'll add my logs to the ticket once I've repeated the process carefully.
rival-black•2y ago
sounds like GOG server issue
gotta make the error handling more graceful
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I don't have that "maximum recursion depth" error in my log, so my issue may be unrelated.

rival-black•2y ago
could you also attach download log?
is near -lastPlay log without that part
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Sure, will have to repeat the process, so there will be a wait in me getting it.
Added finally.
rival-black•2y ago
@aidalgol could you try the pull request #3020
?
it changes many parts of the downloader
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
Still downloading, but so far it's improved in that it has not stalled.
Download finished much faster with the PR changes, but the same texture files are missing.

The
NameResolutionErrors are probably down to my internet connection.rival-black•2y ago

yeah, gotta handle those gracefully
though files shouldn't be missing
does repairing the finished installation now show any results?
Writter wouldn't continue if it hadn't the chunks returned to it
what language version are you installing?
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
"American English" which is the default.
rival-black•2y ago
do you have updated
tree of the directory?optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
The "Verify & Repair" completed in less than a minute, and does not appear to have changed anything.
rival-black•2y ago
do you have the output of the repair command?
rival-black•2y ago
this is what I managed to get from downloader
rival-black•2y ago
these files add up to 51GiB of space
so seems good
starting to think this is GOG issue
lmao
there are no files .dds in the manifest
so they are to be included in some bigger blob
steamdb only confirms my theory
no .dds there
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
So where the heck is that blob supposed to come from?
rival-black•2y ago
well if all files look good
then there shouldn't be any issue
try different wine versions
maybe even proton
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
The game directory unpacked from the GOG offline installer is 83 GiB.
The game still complains about missing texture files at runtime.
And the game unpacked from the GOG offline installer works with the exact same settings in Heroic (Wine version, D3DVK, etc.)
(i.e.
innoextract --gog --extract --exclude-temp /path/to/setup_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_-_game_of_the_year_edition_4.04a_(65527).exe and then "Import" in Heroic)rival-black•2y ago
83GB includes more languages afaik
it's strange I agree
but it matches what the API returns
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I wonder if there's some special handling for this game in Galaxy that deviates from the API.
rival-black•2y ago
doubt
if you care you could also try downloading the game with Galaxy as reference
as I don't own this version I can't really test the files themselves
I can only test obtaining file list
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I might try that. What log files would you need from that?
rival-black•2y ago
just whole tree of the files it downloads
as it's not 1:1 of that in offline installer
stormy-gold•2y ago
Just random guess. Hard edges mostly comes from graphic settings. I think the 16x stuff. Also NixOS is a pretty complicated distro in my opinion. Probably some dependencies are missing with in your nix Installation.
Ok i take it back. Looks like missing textures or the graphic driver can't render it probably
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I'm about ready to call it quits.
rival-black•2y ago
so this is the correct list of files downloaded by heroic
https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/812703424995000361/1173054485808025681
so downloader itself works correctly
optimistic-goldOP•2y ago
I just found out that the
.dds files live inside the texture.cache files, so that's why they appeared to be missing.
Since other people have successfully (as in it behaves properly) installed it through Heroic, I have no idea why I was getting the texture issue only when installed via Heroic. Given all that, and since I have the game working via a different install method, I'm fine with the github issue being closed.national-gold•2y ago
Yeah that's fine, I think RawToast just doesn't like pings, don't worry.
