Ghostwire Tokyo - texture flicker (Epic Games Store)

Hi!
I'm having an issue when trying to run Ghostwire Tokyo through Heroic. I'm getting constant texture flickering on certain objects, very noticeable on foliage (pretty much the entire object disappears).
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Here's some technical details:

this is the Epic Games Store version
Linux distro is EndeavourOS
Heroic was installed from the AUR
GPU is an R9 Fury (tested on windows and there's no texture flicker)
Tried Wine-GE-latest, Wine-GE-Proton8-25, Wine-GE-Proton7-43; Same behavior was observed on all versions
Issue isn't MangoHud related

I'll post last session's log bellow.

If you are referring to installing wine dependencies then yea, double checked and they're all there

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 12:58 AM

Did some digging and I think this might be a RADV regression

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 12:58 AM

Same issue has been reported in Borderlands 3 and Visage

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 1:01 AM

For now, this issue doesn't seem to be related to Heroic or Wine. I'll look further into it tomorrow

dry-scarlet•12/31/23, 1:10 AM

This game works fine for me fwiw

verbal-lime•12/31/23, 2:54 AM

@Songbird Did you experience some stutters?

Vverbal-lime @Songbird Did you experience some stutters?

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 6:56 AM

No stutters. Once I loaded in, the game ran smooth, besides the objects flickering.

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 6:58 AM

Shader compilation stutter is there the first time a new shader is encountered, but that's expected behavior for this game.

verbal-lime•12/31/23, 12:14 PM

How did you do that

verbal-lime•12/31/23, 12:16 PM

No stutters

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 12:59 PM

Don't think I did anything in particular

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 1:00 PM

The only stutters I get are when it's compiling shaders, on both linux and windows

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 1:01 PM

linux gets the weird object flicker from a radv issue with unreal engine 4 games, but outside of that it's smooth

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 1:01 PM

I do have my framerate capped using rivatuner on windows and mangohud on linux

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 1:01 PM

though I doubt that's what's making a difference when it comes to stutters

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:54 PM

Which flicker?

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:54 PM

Oh wait that's whar the issue is about lol

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:56 PM

Restart heroic and try again

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:56 PM

That should update it to vkd3d-proton 2.11.1

Vverbal-lime No stutters

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:56 PM

Only stutters i get are when RT is on

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:56 PM

Maybe turn RT off

Wwet-aqua That should update it to vkd3d-proton 2.11.1

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:57 PM

If that doesn't work try mesa-git

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 3:57 PM

Might be some issue with your old GPU

Wwet-aqua Might be some issue with your old GPU

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:11 PM

No doubt. From various user testing, it seems to only happen in Unreal Engine 4 games that use DX12, with a pre Navi GPU (so Vega, Polaris, GCN).

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:12 PM

Reverting a commit from like 1 year ago does fix the issue so there's hope.

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 4:12 PM

Vega?

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 4:12 PM

I can test vega but I have never seen it on vega

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:12 PM

someone with a Vega 56 reported it so idk

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 4:12 PM

Also which commit?

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:13 PM

let me see if I can find it

This is really noticeable for games that resolve a bunch of occlusion queries (in this case 4096) because it seems that emitting 4096 WAIT_REG_MEM packets can stall more than expected....

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:14 PM

according to the findings here

Wwet-aqua That should update it to vkd3d-proton 2.11.1

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:16 PM

any way to check if it did update?

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 4:17 PM

Look for 2.11.1 folder in ~/.config/heroic/tools/vkd3d

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:18 PM

seems like it

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 4:18 PM

Ok it works for you, for some people it's not working I dunno why

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:19 PM

Yea, doesn't fix the issue, but not surprised seeing it's a driver issue

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:19 PM

Thanks for the help btw

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 4:19 PM

Looks like it's gonna be a sit and wait kind of issue for now

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 6:12 PM

man that's some nasty flickering

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 6:14 PM

do you know how to compile mesa and test it?

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 6:16 PM

no, but I can learn

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 6:16 PM

I'll make a timeshift backup and try it tomorrow I guess

ordinary-sapphireOP•12/31/23, 6:18 PM

If it doesn't work I'll just continue using the windows install for Ghostwire, since I still keep it around for audio vst stuff

wet-aqua•12/31/23, 6:28 PM

why is it even causing an issue, it looks like it's just running the same code, but the loop and if statement are on the GPU instead
