Witcher 2 crashes sometimes

While it's annoying, it's not a dealbreaker, I was just thinking that if you see something in log that can be fixed easily it might be worth the shot. Thanks a lot in advance. Game is run via Steam if that changes anything.

Iirc this needs d3dcompiler_47 from winetricks Also, update heroic, there's a new version out as of two days ago

the compiler is installed already, without it the game will not run at all. I am using heroic from Fedora copr and that one is still on the older version, I have contacted the maintainer and asked for an update.

There is a whole bunch of d3dx messages in your log. You could try to install d3dx9 from winetricks to see if that helps. Can't check the specific one needed rn but the general options installs them all

We will see if that fixes the crashes, but it removed 029c:fixme:d3dx:D3DXLoadSurfaceFromMemory Unhandled filter 0x5. 029c:fixme:d3dx:D3DXLoadSurfaceFromMemory Unhandled filter 0x80004. from logs completely Thanks

Checked. It uses d3dx9_39 to be specific The native version also makes the game not load d3dcompiler_47 anymore

should this https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/known-fixes/pull/2/files be only mfc100 and d3dx9_39 then?

Wouldn't hurt. But I don't even know if it fixed their issue 🐸 I don't know about the former dll btw. I just checked through Steam and set the d3dx9 as builtin

I will reset my prefix with your suggestion and try There should be a dedicated button for preset reset for me hah btw installing d3dx did not fix crashes, just removed the warnings, logs:
