Thank you very much for your suggestions; I have tested both of them using Protonge. I replaced the BdO launcher to rule out any issues with Chinese language support. Both suggestions caused the launcher to display an error window. Furthermore, I tested the solution involving DXVK using Wine 11.4 staging, but the launcher only displayed a black window; I have uploaded the logs and screenshots. Additionally, I downloaded the Windows version of VKcube, which displays the rotating cube correctly.

@xiboliyadongtu as your ss, the launcher is 32-bits. So, can you copy x32/d3d11.dll, x32/dxgi.dll files to the game folder and try again?

i delete the previous 64-bit version of DXVK, copy the 32-bit version DXVK, and tried to luanch the game; the game dispalyed a logo and then disappeared. Maybe it have crashed.

@xiboliyadongtu Can this game be started without a launcher? Is there an executable file besides BlackDesertLauncher.exe (like BlackDesert.exe)?

 

The BlackDesertLauncher.exe is definitely a 32-bit file. So, you might need to run it with GE-Proton10-32 in WoW64 mode.

Delete the created GE-Proton10-32's prefix to make sure. Then start it again with envs

Quote

export PROTON_USE_WOW64=1
export PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11,dxgi=n,b"
export DXVK_HUD="api,version,compiler,fps,scale=1"
export DXVK_CONFIG="d3d11.maxFeatureLevel=12_1"

 

If everything is right, you will see the Dxvk output log with something like below:

This game cant start without the launcher, I will try these options

i just delete the default file  named umu-defalut. and i try to start the launcher, but it still crash. Did i got right things?

log

this game do have  a file named blackdesert64.exe

 

@xiboliyadongtu Then copy x64/d3d11.dll, x64/dxgi.dll files to the same folder as blackdesert64.exe and try to run it without the launcher.

@xiboliyadongtu How was it going?

Hello!
I'll take the topic a little away from the main direction, but the question will be in the framework of game testing: is running games through the ps2 emulator (aethersx2) a dead end?

When you turn on the MALI-610 on aethersx2 (need for speed underground), the video loads well (60fps, 100%), but there is braking on the screensavers, the sound also stutters and the control is noticeably delayed. When switching to Open GL, the screensavers load quickly, the sound does not stutter, the controls are clear without delay, but the video goes with slight drawdowns, the picture and sound twitch, but very rarely (while the video has an average of 55-60 fps with a percentage of 70-90%).I tested everything on the armbian 26 installed on the sd.

Sry, it is too late so i go sleep. But i found the method to fix this. I use box64 and wine staging succeed run the luancher by edit the file.

 

“To fix the white or black launcher:

 

Go in Documents\BlackDeser\GameOptionLauncher.txt

and change these value to 0

 

launcherGpu = 0

launcherOffScreen = 0

 

This should fix the launcher once for all”

By the way, this game must boot by luancher.

@xiboliyadongtu So, you were able to play the game with Dxvk (or Zink) now? How is the performance I wonder?

The game have not start couse "technique not found shader : ObjectNormal.fx, ObjectLava"

I found "https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/Forum/Qna/Detail?_questionNo=1122&_answerSortType=0" have same problem, but I have no idea about find the device ID.

I found that if I use umu-run(protonge), the launcher will crash, but if i use wine staging (with dxvk), the launcher start is no problem but the game got a error.

Maybe tomorrow, try to solve this.

I can see it has already set:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum

Mali-G610 MC4

 

I changed the devicedesc, but game still shows same error. And the launcher shows it is another name. (Nvdia Geforce 6800).Ps: must go bed for now XD. 

@KhanhDTP Now Call of Duty 2 can be launched with dxvk 2.7.1 + mesaaco ppa.

 

@Alex Ling yeah, I have noticed it too. With Mesa (PanVk) recent updates, DX9 games can be played with Dxvk without dgVoodoo2 wrapper.

@KhanhDTP BTW, I'm using the edge 7.0-rc3 kernel. Did you find the vendor 6.1 kernel is more stable?

@Alex Ling I haven't tried mainline kernel 7.x so I can't tell. Can you check the GPU clock is capped at 850 Mhz bug is fixed?

@KhanhDTPHow to choose which dxvk version to use for which game from your dxvk stripped github actions? Are there a set of versions that are known to be more stable? Also, what is the GPU clock bug, I am on kernel 6.19 using mesa 26.1-git.

@KhanhDTP gpu clock is still limited to 850mhz with 7.0. I tried to port rockchip vendor kernel clock settings but no success yet.

 

@chaitan3 The gpu can clock up to 1Ghz by hardware design but it is limited to 850mhz with mainline kernel.

@chaitan3

It depends on the games; I have to try around to find what is best. I usually try 1.7.3, 1.10.3, 1.6.1 then 2.x versions.

Native Steam Client For ARM Linux

https://interfacinglinux.com/community/sbcsoftware/native-steam-client-for-arm-linux/

 

I have tested: the Steam client works (+ Proton11-ARM64 works).
The memory usage was much reduced.

 

 

 

Non-Steam games also work

Added testing results

@KhanhDTP, that's great news! Thank you very much for the testing!

@KhanhDTP are you using esync of wine? NTsync is available on 6.18+ rk3588 kernels. I think that may give a performance improvement.

I hear that now we have proton 11 with arm64 support. Does anyone try to test games with that new version??

I have been using Proton 11 Arm64 for weeks. It has good compatibilities in general (some games I have tested still broke). However, I prefer Proton 11 (Box64), it gives better performance.
