Silent Hill 2 running at 3 FPS

I have tried several proton versions (newer and older 9, and 8, and newest GE and Experimental). I've tested with environment variable MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT = 8086:56a1. I've tested it with launch option -dx11 I am using an Intel Arch A750 GPU Also an Intel i5 12400 cpu, likely not relevant. The Konami Logo and Bloober logo play video files and run at full speed, and then it gets to the loading screen. And it becomes a smaller borderless window (this happens in any screen mode, FS, BW, and Windowed). After the slow loading screen it reverts to the intended screen setting and begins running the main menu at about 3 FPS. Huge delay to the inputs. No settings under graphics or gameplay make a difference. The game should be playable on my hardware. Thank you for any help you can provide!

the log attatched to the original post, was made while running withn the -dx11 launch option (which worked because the Heroic FPS toggle began working, and doesnt work for DX12). It was run with proton Experimental (though the issues were the same in Proton 10. 9. and 8)

Did the same thing but without the -dx11 flag, so in DX12. All I've been doing in the logs is launching the game , waiting and pressing A or B to get through the logos / slow loading screens. And then when I hit the 3 FPS main menu, navigate down to Exit (slowly) and select Exit and select Yes to close the game successfully.

And for the sake of coverage, here's another done in dx12, in proton GE 10-3, with the MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT= 8086:56a1.

MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo
selectable devices:

@Sadnehs Can you add DXVK_HUD=full env var? Set game to use dx11 still And run it like that To see if you mesa device select env var did anything at all

We are running inside a Flatpak container

Asking because of this

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

Welp

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

I guess it is using the integrated graphics I have no clue how to fix this, I've heard of disabling the iGPU in the bios? But that seems... lame lol

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="A750" Should work for dx12 games too Since dxvk dxgi handles device select stuff with it too

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

THAT WORKED, that's amazing hahahaha

👍 Btw can you post this? inxi -SMGxx From terminal

One last thing to try to see if flatpak mesa really ships device select layer or not Remove dxvk device filter env

Solution

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT_FORCE_DEFAULT_DEVICE=1

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

Run with this

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

dx12 or 11?

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

Doesnt matter You would sense it by fps I asked dx11 before to confirm what gpu game runs with Vkd3d doesnt have a hud like that

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

This also fixed it yes

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

Ok, so they do ship the layer Have fun 👍 Fwiw gpu 0 bit in vlkinfo means default device is that 0 one

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

In inxi direct render bit at the end was also pointing that Thus instead of just going by pci adress, forcing default makes it work Makes what you intended from start

extended-salmonOP•7d ago

strange it was never an issue with other games. But I'll have to test other demanding games via Heroic now maybe. I actually accidentally destroyed my Arch desktop trying to fix it (pulling out mesa-git and trying to get back to stable mesa). And switched to Fedora. Thank yo for the real solution!

flat-fuchsia•7d ago

Ye, some games does that. Dunno why. Yw 👍 For mesa git i would recommend building your own instead of relying to aur btw Then you could just point out new icd to app to run with instead of replacing your system mesa

VK_DRIVER_FILES=/path/whereisyournewicdis/newicdname.json So your system wouldnt go broke

extended-salmonOP•5d ago

I'm going to stick with stable regular Mesa for now. The fixes in develop will get to me soon enough.
