Dxvk: VRChat freezes when loading some worlds

[AuroransSolis]

Right, so the issue that I've encountered is that certain worlds will just freeze the game on a black screen with the "Hold V" overlay. It's not frequent, but definitely a bit irritating when it happens since I have to pkill the game and start it up again. I've confirmed that the same worlds cause the game to crash when running with or without wined3d, with and without eSync. The two worlds that I remember causing this off the top of my head are "The Great Pug" and "Sign Language" (created by _MINT_ in case you find multiple by the same name).

Does this work on wined3d?

fwiw the "apitrace" you posted isn't an apitrace but just some console output. I'm more interested in the .trace file, ideally recorded on Windows - though I'm not sure how useful that would be in this case.

If you're referring to running this with the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 option, then no, it doesn't work on wined3d (and in fact has quite a few graphical glitches that for some reason don't show up when I use apitrace). Here's a link to an Imgur gallery containing a few examples of such graphical issues: https://imgur.com/a/X3rg2Qx.

Apologies about grabbing the wrong thing instead of the .trace file. Here's the right one: (good for 1 download and for 7 days): https://send.firefox.com/download/0f82e022e97d95f3/#h1aMuCkftA_awlpnnnf1WA
Or at least I hope it is. Uploading that took literally hours :x

VRChat usually freezes when a world use youtube-dl.exe. You can remove/rename this file from VRChat to disable the feature. It usually resolve the freezing issue.

It's far from a perfect solution but it make the game playable.
