Eschatos: Debug runtime popup

[waspennator]

Game seems to work fine, but testing on deck, if I run it with dxvk, this box pops up before launch, if I force wined3d it launches without the box. Same on my windows laptop running normally

Software information

Eschatos

System information

• GPU: AMD Van Gogh
• Driver: Mesa 23.1.3
• Wine version: 9.0

Apitrace file(s)

• Put a link here

For instructions on how to use apitrace, see: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Using-Apitrace

Log files

Please attach Proton or Wine logs as a text file:

• When using Proton, set the Steam launch options for your game to PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and attach the corresponding steam-xxxxx.log file in your home directory.
• When using regular Wine, use wine game.exe > game.log 2>&1 and attach the resulting game.log file.

Can confirm it shows the popup when dxvk is used on Windows also. dgVoodoo2 is fine.
Game uses d3d9Ex if that matters

Could you try with this build: dxvk-devel.zip, and see if that does anything?

[waspennator]

Testing on my windows laptop, tried with both regular DXVK and the build you provided, still results in the same pop up.

Update: Also providing a trace file incase that helps.
ESCHATOS.zip

[WinterSnowfall]

Thanks for trying it out. Is the trace captured with dxvk, WineD3D or native Windows?

[waspennator]

I'm guessing native windows, unsure cause I just downloaded the api trace files, slapped in the d3d9 one into the Eschatos game folder and ran it.

I can get the pop up to show up on both windows and Deck as long as i'm using DXVK

[WinterSnowfall]

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the trace, except an early call to: IDirect3DDevice9Ex::CreateQuery(this = 0xa5f5dc0, Type = D3DQUERYTYPE_VERTEXSTATS, ppQuery = ?) = D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE, which apparently fails on native, but should work fine with dxvk.

Here's a dxvk build that returns D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE for that call to test with: dxvk-devel-2.zip

[waspennator]

Tried out that Devel-2 build and yep, that seems to fix it, Eschatos launched without that debug pop up box now.

[WinterSnowfall]

Yeah, thought so. According to official specs VERTEXSTATS is only available in debug runtimes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d9/queries , so it sort of makes sense.

Still, a very silly check for a game to implement. I'll PR something to remove it, but I'm not sure if Josh or others need those queries for debugging/perf. testing or anything else, so we'll see how it goes.

Would be news to me and if Josh says so, we can still put it behind an environment variable.

I wouldn't bother if it's not explicitly needed then, since native doesn't support it.
