No Man's Sky GOG DLSS issues.

Hello, I'm attempting to get No Mans Sky to work with DLSS. I've found that on Proton Experimental, the game will crash on the Hello Games splash screen. Unchecking auto install/update dxvk-nvapi on prefix will let the game load as normal, but no DLSS. On Proton 9-18, with auto install/update dxvk-nvapi on prefix checked, the game will load as normal. DLSS will be an option in the settings, but the screen will go black when enabled. Also, FrameGen is not in the menu. The UI is still normal, the game is still running, but the screen is black. Other games that support DLSS and/or RTX work as normal on Proton Experimental, including Cyberpunk 2077 (+FrameGen), Ghost Runner, and Manor Lords.

I've only attempted changing the proton/wine version, no launch arguments. I'm using Endeavor OS and have the latest NVIDIA drivers.

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 6:55 PM

That needs two additional env vars for logs, because of the nature of the issue.

PROTON_LOG=1

PROTON_LOG=1

DXVK_NVAPI_LOG_LEVEL=info

DXVK_NVAPI_LOG_LEVEL=info

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 6:55 PM

With these two added try to run game again

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 6:55 PM

Get crash

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 6:56 PM

Now there should be a proper log at root of home partition containing better info

I need this log

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 7:49 PM

Not you posted

progressive-amaranthOP•6/14/25, 7:59 PM

My mistake. I found this at root of home;

steam-0.log83.29KB

Ddry-scarlet > PROTON_LOG_DIR=/home/l

why do you keep saying that? what does it actually say that the other doesn't?

Just compare two.

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 10:10 PM

You will know why.

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 10:12 PM

@Luyo

WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1

WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 10:13 PM

Try with this

Ddry-scarlet @Luyo `WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=1`

progressive-amaranthOP•6/14/25, 10:45 PM

This has fixed the crashing with proton experimental and DLSS is now functioning as normal. Unfortunately Frame Gen is still missing.

""Leopard"You will know why.

CommandMC•6/14/25, 10:51 PM

Actually I don't either. One's Proton Experimental & the other's GE, so comparing them directly is gonna be difficult already

Bbrilliant-lime Actually I don't either. One's Proton Experimental & the other's GE, so comparin...

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:03 PM

Because to my knowledge when proton log is not enabled i cant get dxvk nvapi logs engaged either

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:04 PM

Which i asked for to see if it throws an obvious error there

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:04 PM

Pretty sure just setting

DXVK_NVAPI_LOG_LEVEL=info

DXVK_NVAPI_LOG_LEVEL=info

would've put them into the default log file (as in the one Heroic shows) then

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:04 PM

But I don't have an Nvidia system around right now to check

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:05 PM

Didnt wanna go into "do this" , oh this doesnt have what i ask for, add this too route

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:06 PM

Just asked for all at once at the way im familiar with

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:06 PM

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_10.0/proton#L1387

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:06 PM

Btw cannot umu export these?

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:06 PM

If it was doing that, problem wouldnt be there

Pprogressive-amaranth This has fixed the crashing with proton experimental and DLSS is now functioning...

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:07 PM

Afaik with some titles frame gen is borked, NMS might be one of them

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:07 PM

Better report it at dxvk-nvapi tracker

""Leopard"Btw cannot umu export these?

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:08 PM

Probably? I know there were some issues if we set some Steam-related env vars, but I don't think

STEAM_COMPAT_APP_ID

STEAM_COMPAT_APP_ID

was one of them
Maybe open an issue in the repo

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:09 PM

I dont have necessary will to do that

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:11 PM

Oh I think umu already does that

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:12 PM

Although this code seems a little strange to me

Well, i dunno how umu works fully but i always assumed when it finds the app/exec name pulls necessary data/wars from upstream proton for compat instead of just setting to 0 and be done with it

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:16 PM

As there is no better source than upstream for such stuff

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:20 PM

Ah sorry, misremembered here. Everything's actually fine as-is, NMS just needs to be added to the DB

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:23 PM

Manual addition required for everything?

Constant maintanence burden

I thought it would be constantly in sync with that necessary file from upstream and apply those to other store copies of games

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:28 PM

Yes, we just have to teach it that GOG ID x corresponds to Steam ID y

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:30 PM

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:31 PM

I just misremembered how that workflow worked. Basically the rule is that you give any game that has a Steam version an UMU ID of

umu-<steamId>

umu-<steamId>

, so then umu auto-sets the relevant variables and fixes in Proton based on those variables then just work

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:33 PM

Ok, so it requires adding game to database thats all. Rest it automagical.

CommandMC•6/14/25, 11:33 PM

Yup

dry-scarlet•6/14/25, 11:35 PM

Nice
