Proton: Titan Quest Anniversary Edition (475150)

[teldon]

It seems the only thing that needs to be done to get this game working is to set the windows version to xp in winecfg.

[d10sfan]

That worked for me as well.

[FreeSevenSix]

i just installed it without any tinkering and it worked fine (played around 15min)

[fesm0750]

I've Installed it on my system and it ran out of the box. However, the game stutters if I try to rise detail and shadow settings even though the fps counter seems ok (above 30 fps), running on a Intel HD 4000 though.

MaxXor is not same for me Titan Quest Anniversary edition not run

[teldon]

I wonder, what graphics card/driver is everyone using? I'm using gtx 1060 6gb with 396.54 drivers

[Mat24]

It works fine in my laptops
laptop 1: Dell Latitide 7480 -> Ubuntu 16.04.3, i7 7600U, HD Graphics 620, 16GB RAM
laptop 2: HP Pavillion G4 -> Ubuntu 18.04, i7 2640m, HD Graphics 3000, 8GB RAM

But, in my gaming desktop, loads the game, plays the intro videos and finally shows a black screen with the game cursor :(

Desktop config
Using proton 3.7-3 (on steam play settings menu)

[HyperEye]

I am running Nvidia 396.54 drivers with a GTX 1070 8GB on Gentoo amd64 (4.17.6). I was getting the black screen when the game got to the menu until I set the windows version to winxp. Now it works fine.

[teldon]

I'm starting to see a bit of a pattern. It may be an issue with an issue with NVidia drivers.

[HyperEye]

A bit more info on this problem. I believe that the windows version fix is incidental. An alternative is to set the video memory size in the registry. When I set it to 2GB or 4GB the game worked regardless of windows version. When I tried setting it to 6GB or 8GB I got the black screen.

[lieff]

Hmm, worked for me with Proton 3.7-5 Beta without any changes.

[mayjs]

On my machine, singleplayer seems to work pretty much without any flaws (played about 30 minutes), but I can't join multiplayer. Can anyone confirm that multiplayer works?

[abienz]

I also had to change my Windows version to XP to get it working past the black screen. Using Nvidia 396.53 on GTX 1070

[fesm0750]

I couldn't play on multiplayer as well.

[kelnmaari]

yep, i cant go in multyplayer too.
game freezing after click "Connect"

[liberodark]

Work on proton 3.7-7 but have little bug and lan work

[Sbte]

To work around invisible characters, the registry key CheckFloatConstants has to be set to true.

[abienz]

I started a new character a few weeks ago and had a relatively bug free play through with intermittent crashes after extended play and some alt-tab issues.

I played all the way through Normal.

Upon starting again in the next difficulty mode Epic I frequently get crashes that I would say the game is unreliable.

Unsure of the cause of the issue or how to report further.

[diraven]

Same thing with multiplayer. Clicking "connect" does nothing other then turning the button gray.

Relevant piece of log: https://gist.github.com/diraven/3decbfbef50054f34bfb43b1edd1a320

[abienz]

Latest updates to Proton and graphics drivers have the game running very well for me even in Epic mode, haven't experienced as many crashes.

On another note I still don't get any text for the place names, or when you press 'Space' to pause for example, you just see the bookend graphics, anyone found a workaround?

Installing Corefonts might fix that.

Unfortunately that hasn't made a difference, I checked with the latest Proton beta (3.16-2) also.

Same here, I did not managed to play in LAN too, other game clients don't see the server and vice/versa. No firewalling enabled on the hosts and on the LAN.

[Steedalion]

To work around invisible characters, the registry key CheckFloatConstants has to be set to true.

This worked for me and the hollow/invisible man problem. According to wine this results in a small performance hit. I think it should be enabled by start for this game.

Also I think this problem occurs with low-end GPUs. I'm using nvs4200m.

For those interested, WINE v4.2 as Windows 7 or Windows 10 gets passed the black startup screen if you set the video memory, for example, to 2GB through winetricks videomemorysize=2048. Courtesy of someone on https://www.protondb.com/app/475150.

Unable to reproduce the Steam2.dll messages in proton-4.2-4. I have a log that complains that Steam2.dll is missing from proton-4.2-3b, but I suppose this is no longer relevant for this issue since it is gone

[philipjohnbarlow]

Apologies for resurrecting such an old thread but has anyone been able to get Titan Quest AE multiplayer to work? I tried it on my laptop, running Linux Mint 19.1, recently and observed the same as @diraven.

[moll]

@philipjohnbarlow, I played through the GOG DRM-free version and that played fine against the Windows version. Did occasionally crash on the Linux side, but not too often to prevent enjoyment. :P

If you're having connection problems, check out if you're not using multiple network cards on the Windows side. I remember Titan Quest getting confused and sending its connection UDP packets out from the wrong interface, thereby failing to connect.

[Kron4ek]

Here is the fix for multiplayer:

1. Download attached ws2_32.dll.zip archive, extract it
2. Put ws2_32.dll into the game directory

3. Change launch options for the game to this:

   WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ws2_32=n" %command%

4. Done!

ws2_32.dll.zip

p.s. This dll is for the Proton 4.11-6, but it will probably work with older/newer versions too.

@Kron4ek thanks for posting the multiplayer solutions. Works fine for me.
In addition I recommend to limit the fps to avoid lags (see also: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Titan_Quest_Anniversary_Edition#Large_bursts_of_lag_in_multiplayer)

I'm constantly crashing after killing a few mobs in the Nerthus Sanctuary from the Atlantis DLC. It's the only place in the game where it happens, most of the times after 7-8 mobs killed. I tried to play at normal speed, lowered the graphics settings but to no avail.

Hello @Logicisart, these look like the lines of interest from your log:
info: Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'

This tells us the Vulkan render stack didn't initialize properly for some reason.

Please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

[Logicisart]

Hello @kisak-valve , thank you for your suggestion. If I'm not mistaken, this link should provide you with all the content from the system information report:
https://gist.github.com/Logicisart/c62b771f695faf0fbb0b7050c3e23fc6

[Logicisart]

Thank you for editing. Don't know what went wrong with my link.

[kisak-valve]

If I'm reading the s-r-t-info correctly, you have no vulkan drivers installed, so it gave us vulkaninfo.c:812: failed with VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER.

Please check that you have mesa-vulkan-drivers and mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 installed with something like apt policy mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 and install them if they're not already.

These drivers weren't installed, for whatever reason. Did install them, and after a reboot everything works just fine. Thank you for you help, and have a nice day!

@Abilbel got Atlantis now and was able to play through it without any crashes with proton 5.0-9.

[sonnyp]

The fix for multiplayer described in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/567#issuecomment-536495333 broke with Proton 5.13-1 - the game displayed some kind of error when trying to host a multiplayer LAN game.

However it seems that it isn't necessary anymore with Proton 5.13-1 but you'll have to remove the launch option, the .dll file and use "verify integrity of game files" to get rid of it.

EDIT Tested so far with Proton 5.13-1 without tricks:

• Hosting a LAN multiplayer :+1:
• Joining Internet multiplayer :+1:
• Alt+tab / game looses focus :-1: - game freezes (On Proton 5.0-9 it wouldn't freeze but no way to re-gain focus)

[at46]

@sonnyp any chance you are talking about 5.13-1 instead of 5.3-1? I haven't seen a 5.3-1 version so far only 5.13-1 which appears to be a beta with some regressions https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4289
The multiplayer fix from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/567#issuecomment-536495333 only seems to be necessary for proton 4.x. Since proton 5.0 at least online-multiplayer worked fine for me without it.

[sonnyp]

@at46

any chance you are talking about 5.13-1

Indeed - I fixed the typos.

The multiplayer fix from #567 (comment) only seems to be necessary for proton 4.x.

Pretty sure the fix was required for LAN on Proton 5.0-9. Could be wrong.
