Tracks - The Train Set Game starts then crashes with dialog "DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine"

I'm thinking maybe if the game could work with DX9 then we'd be golden. At any rate I wanted to point out the issue.

Any workaround or fix would be appreciated!

A suggestion (without even knowing nor owning the game): have you tried running it with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11 (as in right clicking on the game in the game list, then selecting Properties and then SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... and entering PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% in the text box)? :crossed_fingers:

[ShannonVanWagner]

@pprotonrep - Thanks for your fantastically quick response and great suggestion! It works now!

I think Valve should make easy fixes like these automatically apply to games that need it in the steam library. This way, unsuspecting users wouldn't have to change anything to get the game to work on first launch. None the less, thank you and thanks to Valve for this awesome new open source feature!

Cheers!

Glad I could help! :bowing_woman:

I would leave the ticket open, though, for the proton maintainers to see that this specific game does not work with DXVK (for now).

Hello @ShannonVanWagner, the behavior of this game may have improved with Proton 3.16-2 beta.

ASTRONEER game on Proton 3.16-7 has the same problem:
DX11 feature level 10.0 is required to run the engine
Running by PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% solve the problem.

But Steam Windows version running on wine-devel 4.2 (without any manual configuration - may be it use wined3d11 by default) work successful.

OS: Ubuntu 18.10

Hello @agarb7, 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. Can you confirm you have working 32 bit and 64 bit vulkan driver install?

Also, please use #243 to discuss Astroneer.

[agarb7]

Hello @kisak-valve. System Information. Vulkan is not installed.

[kisak-valve]

Thanks @agarb7, by default Proton uses DXVK which translates D3D10/11 to Vulkan, so you need to sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 and give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/For-AMD-users-having-issues-with-non-OpenGL-games a read for your Southern Island chipset.

Upstream wine is not affected because it always uses the D3D10/11 to OpenGL render path.
