Transparent window with sound, mouse cursor disappears
PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr gamemoderun %command%
Same as CastleDweller's report. I tried Proton 8.0-2, Proton 7.0-6, Proton Experimental, GE-Proton8-3 & GE-Proton7-55.
Using Proton 8.0-2 didn't even create a window. The game process quickly began eating well over 20 GB of my 32 GB RAM, but I was able to switch to a TTY and kill it before an OOM event occured.
FYI, using PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 is normally no longer necessary with recent version of Proton.
The graphics are too dark. Shadowy areas and caves are pitch black. Otherwise was playable except for one lockup.
The areas in shadow are pitch black even with brightness all the way up.
I installed the GOG version and added it as a non-Steam game to use Proton.
MonkeyEngine.ini changes:
AllowD3D10=True
bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=False
Install PhysX:
protontricks 245280 -q physx
Works fine, but graphic engine is poor
I had to put everything to Low settings to get around 25 FPS. Anything higher and the framerate would drop to 10 FPS. The graphics are quite fuzzy / blurry at Low settings, but it's playabe.
I had to set musicEnabled to 0 in GOTHIC.ini otherwise the game crashes with an access violation. Otherwise it seems to run well.
Audio is out of sync with with Pipewire, did not test with PulseAudio. Using the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 command switch made it worse. I have never experienced any crackling.
I have 32GB RAM and a 16GB swapfile. The game will fill up available RAM and never release much. Fast traveling increases used RAM. I use systemd-oomd and the game will be killed eventually when RAM & swap are completely full.
Sound does not work OOTB.
To enable hardware sound:
- Rename or delete
OpenAL32.dll - In
BIOEngine.iniunder[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice], make sureDeviceName=has no value
All resolutions are not available in the game menu.
To set a custom resolution, set the following to your desired resolution in BIOEngine.ini under [WinDrv.WindowsClient]:
StartupResolutionX=1920
StartupResolutionY=1080
I had to install xact (protontricks 243470 xact) and set wine to Windows XP to get in-game audio working. Otherwise works well.
