Proton: [Steam Play][Doom 2016] Black screen (379720)

Created on 25 Aug 2018 · 10Comments · Source: ValveSoftware/Proton

I am trying Steam Play out of the box.

Ubuntu 18.04 (up to date).
Nvidia 1080 (no intel) -> Latest drivers (396.54)
Vulkan (1.1.73) (no vulkan-intel)
Side note, opengl and vulkan games work fine (e.g. MadMax).
Steam Client Beta: 1535062307 (up to date).

I installed Doom through Library/Steam Play
The game starts with a Black Screen and normal sound.
Steam Overlay works. I can activate and use it with SHIFT-TAB just fine.
The FPS indicators varies up to 180, so it is working/rendering.

Game compatibility

Try putting +r_renderAPI 1 in the launch options and run it again. I had similar specs and it fixed it for me. It forces Vulkan to be used as the graphics API.

@rsd you might be experiencing the same problem as me, but it's a confirmed bug in Nvidia drivers:

had the exact same issue as @rsd as far as I can tell, and @elkasitu 's solution seems to work - I already had RenderAPI set, but adding Skipintrovideo fixed it

For what it's worth, loading DOOM through a wine version of steam, through lutris, doesn't require skipIntroVideo to be set on my end (uses wine-staging-3.11-x86_64 with DKVK 0.6/0.7)
(on the other hand, the lutris install has a framerate hitching issue that gets worse and worse as I play, and this issue is not present with SteamPlay)

And it case it helps, i'm on:
Ubuntu 16.04 (up to date)
Nvidia GTX 1070 - 396.54
Vulkan 1.1.73 (I think?)
Steam beta 1535062307

Using +r_renderAPI 1, I got the Bethesda logo to display, with a following crash:

Vulkan demos like vulkan-smoke works fine (as native vulkan games).

I can confirm that it only starts with: +r_renderAPI 1 +com_SkipIntroVideo 1

If you're using "steam-native" than uninstall and reload steam to play DOOM. The steam runtime libraries are incompatible.

@ryanmusante , not really.
This bug is more about user expirience on having steam installed and installing / running Doom from library without modification.

I can confirm that it only starts with: +r_renderAPI 1 +com_SkipIntroVideo 1

I get a crash with those two options (NVidia on latest beta SteamOS) :(

I had this issue when running vulkan-radeon-git on Arch (a number of versions, but the last one I tried was 1:19.3.0_devel.115908.6309c31fd81-1).

Going back to regular vulkan-radeon (without downgrading to regular mesa from mesa-git) used to help when mesa stable was 19.1, this seems to be a mesa 19.2 related regression.
