Control Ultimate Edition (GOG) crashes after DirectX launcher on Steam Deck

Trying to launch Control through GOG and after selecting which DirectX version to use in the launcher, the game hard crashes with the error in Control Error.txt. The Heroic dump.txt is self explanatory. I've tried Proton Experimental, Lutris GE Proton 8-24, and Wine GE-latest.

stay on wine-latest, delete the prefix folder, leave all settings the same, verify and repair, and then launch the game again

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

cool, that seems to have worked how can i add the DX12 exe directly to steam so i can launch it in gaming mode?

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

remove from steam, add to steam? i'm not 100% sure

CommandMC•2y ago

Any changes you make to the settings in Heroic will automatically reflect in Steam

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

yeah I just added -dx12 as a command line argument and re-added it back, worked great ok I’m bringing this back, I tried to install the HDR mod for my OLED Deck and now the game doesn’t boot in gaming mode, but it does in desktop mode

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

always post logs

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

do the logs save anywhere? I can’t copy the logs in gaming mode Especially considering the game itself is crashing and not heroic

CommandMC•2y ago

The game log is saved no matter what mode you're in

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

okay I’ll go take a look

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

get rid of the launch args, that's probably messing you up? idk

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

the mod needs to be running the game in dx12, i guess i could try using the regular launcher and boot into the dx12 exe from there

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

yeah, for simplicity in logs try that for now, put it back later

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

ok ill give it a shot

unwilling-turquoise•2y ago

post a new log after

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

yep, didn’t work I’ll upload the log, just give me a moment

and it’s still booting fine in desktop mode

CommandMC•2y ago

Could you also send in a log from desktop mode?

You have this in your Gaming mode log:

err:   DXGI: FindClosestMatchingMode: No modes found
err:   DXGI: Failed to query closest mode:
err:     Format: 10
err:     Mode:   1280x800@0
err:   DXGI: EnterFullscreenMode: Failed to change display mode

err:   DXGI: FindClosestMatchingMode: No modes found
err:   DXGI: Failed to query closest mode:
err:     Format: 10
err:     Mode:   1280x800@0
err:   DXGI: EnterFullscreenMode: Failed to change display mode

and this in the same place in your Desktop mode log:

info:  Setting display mode: 1280x800@90
info:  Setting display mode: 1280x800@90

info:  Setting display mode: 1280x800@90
info:  Setting display mode: 1280x800@90

So for some reason it's trying to use a display mode with 0 Hz

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

lmfao

CommandMC•2y ago

I don't know how you can fix this, but this might point you into the right direction in terms of what to try

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

the only thing that comes to mind is in gaming mode i have a 45fps cap set but it's still running the display at 90hz

You might also want to ask in the <#857280090810613771> channel in the Linux Gaming Dev Server

Hello 🙂 downloaded the game today, had the same issue as you, ended up here. Jumped into the rabbit hole and seems like simply using Proton 7 fixes this.

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

proton 7 in heroic?

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Yes

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

cool, which proton 7 version is it just the latest?

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

Cool mine didn’t work It’s not hard crashing into an error message like before But it stays black until it crashes back to Steam

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Prob try deleting the prefix so it can get recreated Usually good to do when you switch wine/proton versions

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

I did You launch it through steam just fine? And HDR works?

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Through steam/game mode works, I'm not sure if the HDR is working though

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

Are you using dx11 or dx12

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

DX12, I swapped the EXE to launch the DX12 exe directly but I don't think that should make a huge difference

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

Well that’s worth a shot I guess, I launch the DX12 one through a commandline argument

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

You can also add it to steam as well and do it that way, that worked for me when I tested quickly *Add the EXE directly I mean But both launching through heroic and launching the EXE as a non Steam shortcut worked anyway

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

I think I’ve tried that as well and nothing happened, but that was with Proton Experimental

plain-purple•2y ago

fyi proton 7 doesn't support hdr

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

lovely I’ll just keep it at SDR/DX11 then Maybe this gets fixed eventually

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Oh 😦 that's unfortunate

plain-purple•2y ago

I hope you also know that control needs a mod to support hdr And you don't need proton, you can use wine-ge as well

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

OP is trying to get the mod to work but it appears to be crashing https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1179108285891219537/1179466388700680274

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Yes, my set up is the same as OP. Doesn't seem like HDR works as you said using Proton 7, but that was the only way the game launched using DX12. Issue seems to be this (when using Wine GE or anything above Wine/Proton 8): https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1179108285891219537/1179468612164145202

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

yeah using wine-ge-latest with DX12 and the mod installed crashes the game instantly in Gaming mode because according to the logs, it can't initialize the display correctly so it sets it to 1280x800@0Hz and unsurprisingly that doesn't work so it crashes. In Desktop mode it launches fine but HDR is greyed out

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

@Ezidro can you re-post your logs in the Linux Gaming Dev Discord if you have some time? Curious if they have any thoughts

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

yeah sure, just in user-support?

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Yeah 🙂

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

🤔

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Heroic AppImage + Proton Experimental (I have bleeding edge on, not sure if that's required) seems to work, interesting Well I should be working™️ but I'll see if this looks ok after work today

dependent-tanOP•2y ago

Well if it works then hopefully switching from the flatpak to the appimage isn't too hard

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

Probably not, I just can't seem to get the heroic appimage to work in game mode though, but I'll post logs (and search for similar issues) later on that Not a major issue though

plain-purple•2y ago

flatpak may not work yeah
