Game launches, shows "Press A Button To Select Controller Layout" screen, after pressing mouse button, it shows "screaming villains" logo and then screen goes black, nothing happens.

This is the same issue, described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1102 and fix described in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1102#issuecomment-419678627 works.

After applying the fix, game runs smoothly. I found no glitches or artifacts so far.

Created this issue for future reference.

P.S. For completeness sake: I also had to use PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, because my video driver doesn't support some vulkan extensions, but I'm not sure that that's directly related to the game.

Hi,

I'm doing some research for my issue at number 1464. That issue deals with cinematic/video playback. Most of the listed games already have a proton log attached to their issue, but this game does not.

Could somebody be so kind as to upload a proton log from a clean install?

I need to search in the proton log for mentions of MF or quartz, so that I can categorize the game.

Thanks for the help!

This game definitely needs MF, because he used the workaround for MF described in this comment https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1102#issuecomment-419678627

I just reinstalled my steam, so I have a clean install. Without "PROTON_USE_WINED3D": "1" in my user_settings.py the game crashes before launch (full logs: https://gist.github.com/demin-dmitriy/b6493eba5f1ec212e21e02c9a9dbdc75).
But that's completely separate issue and probably not directly related to the game itself (though I believe it still needs to be taken care of). Based on reports in protondb I think not everyone has it.

Now, with "PROTON_USE_WINED3D": "1", the game launches, but shows black screen after choosing control type. (logs: https://gist.github.com/demin-dmitriy/91580975c6d8b5e420ab8df87f58196d). Relevant part of the logs is:

WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80004001 while reading Z:/home/dmitriy/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Night Trap - 25th Anniversary Edition/NT25_Data/sharedassets0.resource

Ran again with PROTON_LOG=1, here's log: steam-643620.log
(added it to the first message)

@demin-dmitriy Thanks for the log. :+1:

@demin-dmitriy from your log:

info:  Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2 not supported
info:  Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported
info:  Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_win32_surface not supported
err:   DxvkInstance: Failed to create instance

This indicates that Vulkan is not set up correctly on your system. Please make sure to have both the Intel Vulkan driver installed (e.g. mesa-vulkan-drivers on Ubuntu), as well as the vulkan loader (e.g. libvulkan1), both in their respective 32-bit and 64-bit variants.

@doitsujin thanks! Installing those packages indeed allowed to run the game without "PROTON_USE_WINED3D": "1". I can see in logs that it uses Vulkan now.
