Final Fantasy XIII texture issues.

[ghost]

On linux, running under proton, shadows resolution 4096 x 4096 and 8192 x 8192 makes game don't work and hairs have texture problem:

I have read this error is due to msaa rendering, but i don't know what really means.

Im using Steam native client with:

Proton:4.2-3
Distro:Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Kernel:5.1.0-050100-generic
RAM:16 GB
GPU Driver:4.5 Mesa 19.0.1 - padoka PPA
GPU:Radeon RX 590
CPU:AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core

Are you actually using D9VK? Proton does not come with D9VK out of the box.

A log would be appreciated.

Both things are rather game bugs and I doubt they can be worked around under Linux. These things are also happening on Windows. For Nvidia cards You have to use third-party configuration tool to fix broken hair transparency (Nvidia Inspector) - read about it here: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-anti-aliasing-guide-updated.357956/page-123.
As for shadow resolution I always sticked to lowest values. The game was crashing too much with anything higher than 512x512.
I haven't tried to play it with d9vk yet, I think I should give it a try.

I've tried to install d9vk in proton's prefix and now game doesn't launch (even when I change resolution and msaa). Anyone knows how to get .log file with proton?

[logan001]

set launch option with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and you'll get a steam-apid.log in home folder.
but that will be proton logs. i don't know if it will show d9vk output. probably is better to do DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none|error|warn|info|debug (pick one).

Thank you logan001, I have got proton log (attached in this message) when game launch crash, but I'm not able to obtain d9vk log.
steam-292120.log

Since you have an AMD card, you could also try Gallium Nine, which is a more mature project at the moment.

Regarding the D9VK logs, they should be in the game's directory, somewhere in <steam library location>/common/<game dir>.

wine-staging 4.7. This game works with D9VK, when d3d9.evictManagedOnUnlock = True in dxvk.conf, even with shadow resolution set to 8192x8192 (dxvk.conf must be in directory where ffxiiiimg_d3d9.log is found, not in the directory where ffxiiiimg.exe resides).
ffxiiiimg_d3d9.log

When this setting is False (default), it reaches menu, but then crashes always because of memory allocation issues.
ffxiiiimg_d3d9_fail.log

The hair and eyelashes problem is still present though. Probably impossible to fix...

All above applies to FFXIII-2 as well.
ffxiii2img_d3d9.log

As a side note - to have all three parts of the game here - Lightning Returns starts and reaches menu, but crashes when trying to enter the load screen or to start a new game:
00ef:fixme:d3dx:D3DXLoadSurfaceFromMemory Unhandled filter 0x80004.
LRFF13_d3d9.log

Not a D9VK problem ?

I was wrong. It seems to be fixed by implementing alpha to coverage.

After commit 5815a56

Thank You.
(strange thing is Vanille did not change at all)

Hello, how can I implement alpha coverage? Sorry but I'm newbie in this world. Could you provide me files ready to be build?

[Joshua-Ashton]

I implemented alpha to coverage myself which is what he was talking about.

[ghost]

Ok and how can I turn on that function, what must I do?

[Joshua-Ashton]

Nothing. It's included in the latest builds.

[ghost]

Waaaaau that is something else!, thank you so so much guys for help and fix, now I can play it with max resolution (8192 x 8192 it's a little bit slow, maybe it was my graphic card, but at least it runs well) and msaa 16.

8192 x 8192 shadow res + 16 msaa is gonna struggle on any system :P
Glad to see you're getting very close to 60 with it tough
