Symptoms

The game working with unacceptable framerate.

Reproduction

Always.

Patched (with this patch) dxgi for Proton 6.3-4. Extract and replace dxgi.dll.so (but first back it up) in steamapps/common/Proton 6.3/dist/lib64/wine. This fixes the performance problem.

And remove WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dxgi=n from the game Launch Options, if it's present there.

dxgi.dll.so.zip

p.s. I guess it will work with Proton Experimental too, but i can't say for sure.

Yes, I confirm that this helped.
For Proton Experimental path would be steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/lib64/wine

Unfortunately not working gamepad :(

unfortunately didn't fix it for me, although proton 6.3 is on another hard drive will try experimental.
EDIT: the steps above fixed it after I moved what harddrive it was on

latest dxvk master should work with days gone now.

doitsujin/dxvk#2065

i updated dxvk in proton 6.3 with https://github.com/Frogging-Family/dxvk-tools

set proton path in ~/.config/frogminer/updxvk.cfg, for example:

_proton_dist_path="/home/redgloboli/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 6.3/dist/"

or wherever your proton is installed.

./updxvk build
./updxvk proton-dist

Does anybody else have issues launching this game?

In Proton GE 6.9 it plays a pinkish Sony logo and then freezes with 5000+ fps but I can hear the menu sounds in the background.

Proton 6.3 + patch plays the usual "example video" (with a pinkish tone) and the also gets stuck.

Proton 6.3 without patch just freezes without menu sound.

works fine here, 6.9-GE-2, clean prefix, amd 6900 xt, X11, kde. im able to run the game smoothly at 4k, intro videos work normal

[DomiStyle]

@GloriousEggroll Hmm, same GPU here.

Ubuntu 21.04, X11, Kernel 5.12.8. Will try a few different kernel versions.

I'm on fedora 34 with kernel 5.12.7 + fsync + mesa-git built from about a week ago.

[DomiStyle]

Switched to Liquorix kernel with fsync and everything started working suddenly. Runs great on Proton 6.9-GE-2.

@28071973
Where did you buy it from?

[howels]

Sony studios intro shows but background is purple/pink. Then sits on a blank purple/pink screen indefinitely and does not load. Seems that purple/pink is replacing black somehow?

Ubuntu 20.04 with latest HWE (5.11.0 kernel)
Nvidia 470.82 driver and Nvidia 495.44
Same result with Proton, Proton-Experimental, Proton-6.20-GE-1 Proton-6.21-GE-2.

Log attached. Same results of pink screen on all Proton versions and Nvidia drivers with this game. Other games running fine.

Maybe an HDR bug? Screen supports HDR here but it's not enabled.

Anyone able to suggest something?

[howels]

Figured it may be a media playback issue and sure enough after I added the workaround described in https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Days_Gone#Skip_intro_videos it let me into the menu and is playable. So for some reason the intro videos are causing the game to lock up. Cutscenes appear to render fine, only the intro movies cause issues.

[zuusuuz]

That purple screen issue was driving me nuts on Manjaro. Disabling the intro movies fixed it up, thank you for this!
Odd thing was that every so often it would start up with the regular black Playstation screen without me changing anything, then next time I started the game it would be purple again.

[kivimango]

Hello.After a system upgrade on Manjaro the game just stopped working (lutris/wine return code 13568) with wine 7+.
Any idea to make it working again? I was around 80-90% completion, i would like to finish 100% this game.
