Diablo II Resurrected (D2R) stopped working

[drudoi]

I used this version of vkd3d-proton due WineHQ recommendations:
https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/files/7221306/vkd3d-proton-merge-953ad0b5989df062ea20b83309e981854cfa1d7a.zip. I've tried the latest release too.

D2R worked, but one day it stopped working. I didn't made any system or game updates. Also I have a separate wine prefix for the game, I've tried to recreate it and reinstall D2R. May be it isn't a issue of the library, because my Xorg server crashed this day (freezed, and I have to reboot), but I don't know how to debug to find a root cause. I have no more dx12 games installed, but dx9-dx11 I have weren't affected.

I wait for wine-staging (I had 1.18), dxvk updates, but it doesn't solve and issue. What I have now:

• Arch linux: 5.15.2-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:22:10 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Card: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER] (rev a1)
• Packages:
  -- wine-staging 6.21-1
  -- vulkan-icd-loader 1.2.194-1
  -- nvidia-utils 495.44-3 (I had vulkan-intel too, but uninstalled it to avoid possible conflicts)
  -- vkd3d 1.2-1 (I've tried to uninstall warring about the conflicts, doesn't help)
• Additional packages I've tried to install:
  -- vulkan-headers 1:1.2.194-1
  -- vulkan-tools 1.2.194-1
  -- spirv-headers 1.5.4.r106+ge71fedd-2
  -- spirv-tools 2021.3-1

The wine output:

Looks like the latest lines going not from wine, because WINEDEBUG variable don't make it more verbose.

First of all, use the latest build of VKD3D-Proton. Right now its this one: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/actions/runs/1452475263

Secondly, try running it with Vulkan validation layers. Install those and run the game with VKD3D_CONFIG=vk_debug. Then post the terminal output.

I can maybe shed some light on the issue. I had this issue for a few days now with Cyberpunk 2077, which is a DirectX12 game too. What finally worked for me is loading the nvidia_uvm module (modprobe nvidia_uvm) which is required but somehow not loaded. This comment describes the issue and fix.

Can we rename these issues to have the full game names perhaps? Just to maintain searchability.

Can we rename these issues to have the full game names perhaps? Just to maintain searchability.

It's a very general issue of the Nvidia driver and can in theory affect any Vulkan app started outside of Proton. Though I can imagine mentioning it somewhere in the FAQ would save some users from that really nasty headache.

Thanks for responses.

1. I've tried to use latest build by link, nothing changed, the errors are the same. Only vkd3d-proton - applicationVersion: 2.5.0 was changed in the output.
2. I've checked nvidia_uvm in my lsmod - it is loaded. I have the next modules in mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm). Also I have blacklist i2c_nvidia_gpu, I've tried to remove it, but nothing changed.

Now I'll try to install Vulkan validation layers and provide output in next comment.

With VKD3D_CONFIG=vk_debug and validation layers installed the next output is added:

264:info:vkd3d_config_flags_init_once: VKD3D_CONFIG='vk_debug'.
264:info:vkd3d_get_vk_version: vkd3d-proton - applicationVersion: 2.4.0.
264:info:vkd3d_instance_init: vkd3d-proton - build: 953ad0b5989df06.
264:err:vkd3d_instance_init: Failed to enumerate instance layers, will not use VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation!
264:err:vkd3d_create_vk_device: Failed to create Vulkan device, vr -3.
264:fixme:hresult_from_vk_result: Unhandled VkResult -3.

and the same with latest version

0120:info:vkd3d_config_flags_init_once: VKD3D_CONFIG='vk_debug'.
0120:info:vkd3d_get_vk_version: vkd3d-proton - applicationVersion: 2.5.0.

0120:err:vkd3d_create_vk_device: Failed to create Vulkan device, vr -3.
0120:fixme:hresult_from_vk_result: Unhandled VkResult -3

The next layers are in system:

$ ls /usr/share/vulkan/explicit_layer.d/
VkLayer_khronos_validation.json

Also I attach my 'vulkaninfo' output.
vulkaninfo.txt

This is a known issue on Nvidia drivers, see #711 (comment) for a workaround.

Not our bug, and we cannot fix this on our end.

[drudoi]

@doitsujin Thanks a lot, it helped!!! I'm very happy!!!

I'll try to add it to bashrc (if it works without xinit) or to xinitrc, looks like nvidia-modprobe -u -c=0 is needed once per session.

Another reason to get this error is to not have libnvidia-rtcore libnvoptix1 packages in debian (possibly also Ubuntu).

They give raytracing support to Nvidia in Linux
