Total War: Rome 2 - Emperor Edition (214950) #512

fredplante · 2018-08-25T10:21:20Z

I launch game, total war launcher shows up. When I click Play nothing happens

kisak-valve · 2018-08-25T21:06:38Z

Hello @fredplante, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

fredplante · 2018-08-25T21:23:42Z

Hey, sorry @kisak-valve, I do not have this information anymore because I wanted so much to play this game that I installed windows on that computer only to play !

All I can say : It was a Ubuntu 18.04, fully updated, with nvidia drivers version 396. Sorry :(

juliotux · 2018-08-27T16:15:59Z

Problem confirmed. The Total War launch screen shows up, but the game exits after click in Play.

With Proton 3.7.5-beta I could play the game. System info in the previous comment.

fredplante · 2018-09-11T18:51:56Z

Thanks @juliotux , I can confirm it works.

innosflew · 2018-09-18T09:39:42Z

I've tried playing the game with Proton beta and everything seems to work fine, except there is no sound.

innosflew · 2018-09-18T15:39:18Z

Oh never mid, the sound works now.

juliotux · 2018-09-18T16:09:49Z

So, @kisak-valve, this game should be re-tagged as Whitelist Request, no?

DorfGit · 2018-09-19T19:03:15Z

I (and others, judging by the SPCRs) experience a CTD when entering some battles from the campaign map, but only with high graphics settings. With 'low' settings, there's no CTD. Entirely reproducible for me, on the 1st 'intro' battle of the Rome grand campaign.

System: i7-4790K, GTX 1060 6GB (396.54.05), 16GB RAM

I can submit the steam-214950.log later, if that helps.

juliotux · 2018-09-20T16:48:08Z

Did you check if it is a problem with DXVK running on Intel iGPU? This seems to be related to a bug in the Intel vulkan driver, which already has a patch done, but not delivered yet.

Sbte · 2018-09-22T18:01:29Z

For me the game crashes when pressing F1. Other than that it seems to work fine.

I'll try to find time to reboot on the Intel iGPU and retest.

In the meantime, my current setup (and CTD woes):

For me the launcher doesn't work. It starts up but displays nothing but a white box. I would post the log file but it is about 100MB. Instead here are the errors that are repeated at the end of the file:

If I point the run script at the Rome2.exe instead of the launcher the game starts and runs fine on ultra settings until I start switching between the campaign and battle maps at which point it crashes with the following error:

err: DxvkMemoryAllocator: Mapping memory failed with VK_ERROR_MEMORY_MAP_FAILED

Mem flags: 0x7
Mem types: 0xf
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'

Reducing the settings to high resolves the problem. It appears to be related to DXVK's issues with memory management in 32 bit applications. Using WineD3D the game does not crash but performs considerably worse while also exhibiting many rendering errors.

juliotux · 2018-10-07T04:52:54Z

I re-tested and confirmed the regression. White launcher, but if you click in the spot where there is the play button, the game launches normally. #1414 also report the same problem.

hologhost · 2018-10-08T12:48:25Z

When I logged in to steam this evening I received an update to the steam common re-distributable and gave the game another go.

The launcher now fails to render anything, instead hanging for about five minutes before crashing.

I again tried bypassing the launcher by pointing the run script at the Rome2.exe however it now also fails to render anything before crashing after about five minutes with the following error:

../common/pipes.cpp (770) : Assertion Failed: fatal stalled cross-thread pipe
../common/pipes.cpp (770) : Fatal assert failed: ../common/pipes.cpp, line 770. Application exiting.

According to the log file(attached below) the launcher failed with the same error.

hologhost · 2018-10-09T09:20:32Z

Scratch my last comment. After rebooting my PC it's back to the white launcher.

justeff · 2018-10-24T18:51:19Z

There is still a white launcher, also the game is crashing in battles when using graphic settings of very high or above. When using VSync, game crashes instantly. Also there is a rendering issue in the in "game benchmark"

ragerin · 2018-11-01T14:39:06Z

I also experience a white launcher window. Clicking where the "Play" button should be, starts rome2.exe shortly before it closes itself.

hologhost · 2019-03-03T06:33:43Z

CA have released a new launcher which now works with proton 3.16.7. The only problem I still have is the memory issues at higher graphics settings.

lucifertdark · 2019-03-03T09:38:21Z

New launcher & the game works BUT only after adding PROTON_USE_WINED3D launch option, graphics are a mess once actually into the game making it unplayable for me, using the latest Nvidia drivers 418.43.
steam-214950.log

juliotux · 2019-03-08T22:21:13Z

With the new launcher, everything looks fine to me. No trick needed.

DorfGit · 2019-03-27T13:56:41Z

Hooray, Proton 4.2-1 has finally put to bed the 'CTD with settings too high' issue for me.

lucifertdark · 2019-07-01T08:13:57Z

New test with Proton 4.2-9, no launch options used, the game is fully working, all Total War games I own are now playable on my Linux system, happy happy me. :) Thanks everyone for your efforts with Proton.

justeff · 2019-07-02T08:18:20Z

The new Qt launcher is great. But game still crashes on high graphic settings if you join battles. Proton log told me the issue:

wine: Call from 0x7b43d64d to unimplemented function d3dx11_42.dll.D3DX11LoadTextureFromTexture, aborting

I then did a dll override of d3dx11_42 and now the game works perfectly. But I have to say, random crashes still occur but only after some hours, had this on windows too. Atilla is Vulkan based btw and more a challenge. Rome 2 is too easy, you just blob and steam roll everything.

hawake · 2019-08-30T11:21:25Z

Hi,
same problems here. The game works at ~ 25 - 30 FPS in battles with black trees, lights and shadows does not work almost at all. I have noticed that inside video settings I'm not able to change the Shader Model version which is fixed to 3 (other options are not selectable).

System Info:

Hardware: Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, AMD Radeon RX580 with 4 GB of Video RAM;
Software: openSUSE Linux 15.0, kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.70-default, desktop environment KDE 5.12.8 LTS (KDE Framework 5.45), Proton 4.11-3 included in Steam.

Hope this could be useful,

Best Regards
hawake

The game run somewhat fine with proton 4.11-12 but it crashes frequently it got it somewhat fixed by installing d3dx11_42 but the game still crashes but not as many times as before.
I also found a report from 2018 (Proton 3.7.5-beta) which is old and not usefull.

When I click 'play prologue' and it finishes loading, the game exits. Using proton experimental,

@kisak-valve managed to get it to play when setting shadows to 'low'; that's what was required. However, the game just exits randomly when I click buttons in the campaign map. Any updates on work being done on this game?

bakgwailo · 2021-02-04T18:58:11Z

I will attempt to play it later tonight, as I realized I haven't tried it in a while. At least before it did work well, except that the shadows/lighting in the benchmark were really off (seemed like the lighting was just missing in parts putting things in dark shadows). The fireballs were especially funky.

MavropaliasG · 2021-02-05T15:38:27Z

This is the console output when the game randomly exits when I press a button ingame. It happens in line 333 abnormal program termination

https://gist.github.com/MavropaliasG/db8f74aebc46159aecf1edc8fd825d77

It does that randomly, e.g. I would be playing for 10 min, then I click a button in-game (any button, not a specific one), and then the game immediately closes.

bakgwailo · 2021-02-08T18:57:28Z

So things ran fine for me, for a bit at least. I was able to jump into a historical battle with everything on Ultra. It did crash after about 10 minutes. I tried 'The Nile' historical battle. The lighting was completely off, though, with the entire backside of the hill (ocean side) black/no light source making things rather difficult even without the crash later. This is on a GTX2080, ultra settings, and 460.39 drivers.

MavropaliasG · 2021-02-09T02:26:01Z

So things ran fine for me, for a bit at least. I was able to jump into a historical battle with everything on Ultra. It did crash after about 10 minutes. I tried 'The Nile' historical battle. The lighting was completely off, though, with the entire backside of the hill (ocean side) black/no light source making things rather difficult even without the crash later. This is on a GTX2080, ultra settings, and 460.39 drivers.

I've noticed a few things. That might be specific to my system though, https://gist.github.com/MavropaliasG/3e8b84b39d324cb7a5b8f155ed3ac7d8

Proton 4.11-13 and 4.2-9 do not crash BUT my laptop overheats and my entire PC suddenly shuts off after ~20 min of play. I've noticed the clouds in the campaign map make it very laggy (whenever I pan over a lot of clouds or fog of war). But apart from clouds it, my pc is really stressed whenever it's running, even in the lowest settings. That's only for the campaign map, I have not tried battles.
Proton experimental does not overheat my system, but maybe it is because the game randomly crashes when I click buttons in-game.

Kernel version: 5.10.59-1-MANJARO
Link to full system information report as Gist
Proton version: 6.3-5

I confirm:

that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

steam-214950.log

Symptoms

Game is crashing during a campaign, seemingly at random after about 10-15 minutes of play, typically when ending a turn while it is processing all of the other factions moves. It produces not output, nothing happens, the game window simply closes without warning.

Reproduction

The only way I can reproduce it is by playing the game for about 15 minutes. I cannot seem to intentionally trigger it any way, though I will keep trying and update If i find anything

#512 is the only other issue I can find, but it appears to be a different issue that never got resolved. I am opening this one since that one seems unrelated.

patmann03 · 2022-02-04T03:40:49Z

Running with the latest version of proton experimental. DXVK 1.9.3
While fighting a battle the game will crash while in the battle.

Had an Exception access violation, was able to get a full wine dump with backtrace. See log

patmann03 · 2022-04-25T01:58:31Z

This appears to be an esync/fsync issue. I've found by disable esync & fsync, then using winetricks to installing d3dx11_42 and d3dcompiler_42 the game seems to run quite well.

Total War: Rome 2 (214950)

Issue transferred from #6754.
@Storm-Peter posted on 2023-05-08T15:28:10:

Compatibility Report

Name of the game with compatibility issues: Total War: Rome 2 - Emperor Edition
Steam AppID of the game: 214950

System Information

GPU: RX 590
Driver/LLVM version: 4.6 - Mesa 22.2.5 - LLVM 15.0.6
Kernel version: Linux 5.15.0-70-generic
Link to full system information report as Gist: System Information
Proton Log: steam-214950.log
Proton version: experimental-8.0-20230505

I confirm:

that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Overview

The game is almost working properly, there's just a few issues that break it. The campaign map works, the battles work and there's no obviously broken features in terms of gameplay. It's just not stable enough to play.

Symptoms

Settings aren't saved. They reset each time the game is opened. The game defaults to Ultra graphics and things like the sounds settings revert so I don't think it's actually saving any settings. Game saves still work so the filesystem works in general.
The game freezes during loading transitions and seems to hang but then comes through most of the time.
The game completely freezes and breaks during some critical transitions such as after the end of a battle, losing unsaved progress.
The game completely freezes during some turn transitions

Reproduction

There is perma-freezing that occurs around battles. It's not 100% guaranteed that it will happen. It doesn't seem limited to played battles either, it can happen if an autoresolve battle happens.
There is perma-freezing that occurs during turn transitions. Sometimes you can get through many turns with no issues at all, but eventually you'll get to a turn that perma-freezes towards the end of the AI's finishing their turns. But if you then load the save and run it again, it can get through fine.
System memory is stable and when the game perma-freezes the CPU, GPU and OS are still functioning fine. You can tab out of the game and everything else is fine so it doesn't completely break anything.
Because none of the freezes are guaranteed or related to specific moves/saves, it seems like a runtime error rather than anything being inherently broken. Maybe some sort of proton-specific resource that gets used up until it runs out and hangs?

This is my favourite game of all time so if you need me to test anything let me know. I really want to be able to play it again.

bakgwailo · 2023-05-08T17:48:53Z

@kisak-valve can confirm basically all of that behavior. Also the lighting and what not seems to be broken in the benchmark - heavy shadows everywhere, and the flaming balls look off vs Windows (both AMD and Nvidia). Performance is also worse from the benchmark. I have trouble hitting over 60 fps with a 6900xt and 5900x. Same when I had a 2080 super.

Storm-Peter · 2023-05-08T21:27:23Z

I've done some further testing and PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 in the launch options seems to have fixed all the campaign freezing. So it does seem like it's running into some sort of limit and that's causing the problem. Is there a way to fix that so it can run for everyone with esync enabled?

patmann03 · 2023-05-09T01:00:06Z

@bakgwailo try disabling esync and fsync. You can use proton-ge. I did a pull request to do this automatically. However, I found that, for me, protonfixes aren't applied without small modifications.

in the compatibility folder, find the proton-ge version you wish to use. Open the folder. ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-54 (example)
copy the user_settings.sample.py file, rename it to user_settings.py
Open the user_settings.py file in a text editor, on the last line after the closing bracket }
type: import protonfixes
save
Open steam, go to rome 2 and select that version of proton-ge
If still having some issues, replace dxvk in both 32 bit and 64bit
.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-54/files/lib/wine/dxvk/
.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-54/files/lib64/wine/dxvk/
Use this build: https://github.com/patmann03/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.1

hopefully that works. I'm able to play without crashes

solenum · 2023-12-21T21:34:01Z

Lots of different recommendations around for this, is there an accepted way to make the game playable right now? Out of the box its performance isn't great and there's some kind of rendering issues where shadows are a black void, setting it to DX9 fixes that and then you're stuck at 30fps.

Edit;

Game thinks I have 2gb VRAM (I have 8) and some users report this could be the cause of the 30fps lock, so I tried forcing it via the games config file as others have suggested but that's not worked either, still locked at 30fps. Tried experimental/GE/etc as well.

patmann03 · 2024-03-30T22:29:32Z

Replying to #512 (comment)

The game is 32-bit, WINED3D will limit you to 2gb, DXVK limits to 3gb.

You need to install d3dx11_42 and d3dcompiler_42 via protontricks/winetricks then disable esync and fsync. For me, I can play with no crashes and can play mods.

solenum · 2024-03-31T15:30:27Z

Thanks for the tips, I'll give that a go when I get a chance and let you know if it worked

solenum · 2024-03-31T18:47:02Z

No dice, still locked at 30fps :/

Sporknife · 2024-04-01T11:57:40Z

Try using older proton (or proton-ge) versions. IIRC I used something like version 4 or 5 of proton.
