[d3d9] Evenicle - Crash to desktop at startup (wine) / Black screen (proton)

[enimog]

I was a bit hesitant at first to report the issue, the game being a H-game and all, but hey, these games also need some love, don't judge please :)

The issue is the following :

If I try running the game using proton;

• Using version 4.11, the game run properly.
• Using version 5.0.3, the game render as a black screen. I am still able to press the buttons from the main menu and do stuff, I am only unable to see what I am doing.

If I try running the game using the latest wine and DXVK

• I create a new wine prefix and then run setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink
• I cd into the game directory and run "wine Evenicle.exe".
• The game imediately crashes. I get the following backtrace from wine:
  Evenicle-backtrace.txt

If I try running the game using the latest wine without DXVK

• I create a new wine prefix
• I cd into the game directory and run "wine Evenicle.exe".
• The game is working properly without issues

@enimog sorry to necro. Could you try to test if it's still a issue with latest dxvk and drivers? 🙂

Edit: Oh wait sorry i just noticed that this might be partial presentation? If it is then i guess it won't work still.

Hello @Blisto91 :) Tested it, and I'm still having a black screen when starting the game on both steam (latest proton GE) and normal wine 7.12 +dxvk 1.10.1.
Same old GTX 970, driver 515.57.

I notice that when I move the mouse, the GUI element that is refreshed (ex: the button my mouse is over) is displayed, so yes I guess this is what you means by partial presentation?

[Blisto91]

Yes that is what i meant. Sorry for the unnecessary ping 🙂
But thanks for testing!

@enimog can you retest this game with d3d9.shaderModel = 1 ?

[enimog]

With that option the game has a popup at startup with "Shader model 2.0 not supported" and nothing is displayed at all
