Assassin's Creed Origins - Epic Games version
Hello. I am having trouble running the Epic Games version of AC Origins through Heroic Games on Steam Deck. The game boots and runs fine, but once you get to the actual game world, it becomes a glitchy mess. Tons of problems with the textures and geometry, as if they weren't loading properly or were "corrupt". I attach the corresponding logs to discard whether it's a Heroic Games issue or otherwise. I also attach a screenshot of the game to better illustrate what I mean.
Thanks!

This is probably not going to resolve your issue, but: It's not that great of an idea to use Proton Experimental in Heroic, you're probably better off using GE-Proton (install it through Heroic's Wine Manager if you haven't already)

Yeah, didn't fix it. I tried downloading from Ubisoft Connect directly and the problem remains, so it's definitely not a heroic games issue. Thanks for the help!

Can you try with Proton 9.0?
Instead of experimental
This simply might be a dxvk regression
If that also doesnt help, pass this env var
RADV_DEBUG=llvm

i think i tried proton 9.0, but couldn't say for sure, i tried a bunch of proton versions... do let me try
Ok, so I tried proton 9.0 with no success. I then tried passing this env var. And it unbelievably works now! I have no clue what the logic behind such a specific fix is, nor how you came up with it, but thank you so much, you just saved my holidays!

That means there is a driver issue

Ok. Haven't been able to reproduce yet. Which graphical preset are you using?

This is conjecture, but I've also had fun not-reproducable-by-anyone-but-me issues with ACOdyssey on AMD years ago (almost makes me want to put that GPU back in & see if I can reproduce these issues)

mine wasn't as crazy as this, the colors rendered fine, it was the geometry that was all messed up
