i tried this, but it didnt work. you do mean d3dx files right? which ones exactly?

[cataclym]

I also tried installing d3dx 9,10,11 - It is still blank.

Same here. To be perfectly honest, I’m not 100% sure it’s the engine’s problem.

If I run Pandora from protontricks it works, but it obviously can’t find anything because I’m not defining the “Start In” (if we could do that as an argument when launching Pandora standalone it would probably be a solution), if I run it from Vortex, it shows the black window.

Could it be shaders?

@zachboatwright can you tell us how you launched it and what exactly have you installed to make it work for you?

I have exactly the same issue. Launching through mo2 running in GEproton 9.13 I get black screen, but if I launch mo2 through Bottles with "soda-9.0-1" runner, pandora works but mo2 freezes when closing it. Trying to figure out now if I can get it to work in that proton prefix, as mo2 and skyrim are working well there so I don't have to use this workaround to generate animations.

After downloading d3decompiler_43 and d3decompiler_47 I stopped getting a black window! Although it looks broken (and very pink), it seems to be functional!

I don't know if you are using steamtinkerlaunch but it seems to cause a similar problem (as well as crashing) when you launch pandora from a mod manger that was launched through it (I've tried on both debian and arch with the same results). Launching the mod manager or pandora using protontricks seems to fix this.

I tried but no success alas. Where did you put the dll's?

i use protontricks to add the dll's to the wine prefix

I tried that, too. But protontricks doesn't show the vortex prefix to select, which I assume pandora uses. How did you get around this?
