error wine c++ runtime library assertion failed "vkdestroyimageview" that occurs in the sims 4 when trying to back into the game (live mode) after being in CAS.

Please describe your issue as accurately as possible.

so you go to CAS, edit some stuff and click checkmark or x and then loading start (the game try to put you into live mode), game crashed (with errors below in the attachment file). it does not happen every time but it is repeatable.

(In my case, changing to directx9 doesn't fix the problem)

Thank you for the report.
I can reproduce the loader_thunks crash with 2.4.1. With current master i haven't seen that appear as a popup or in log, but the game can still crash doing the same reproduction steps.

Likely validation layer error of interest:

err:   VUID-VkWriteDescriptorSet-descriptorType-02996: 
err:   Validation Error: [ VUID-VkWriteDescriptorSet-descriptorType-02996 ] Object 0: handle = 0x555594029b10, type = VK_OBJECT_TYPE_INSTANCE; | MessageID = 0x1cc3d039 | vkUpdateDescriptorSets(): pDescriptorWrites[13].pImageInfo[0].imageView Invalid VkImageView Object 0x8e81ea0000012cc3. The Vulkan spec states: If descriptorType is VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER, VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE, or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE, the imageView member of each element of pImageInfo must be either a valid VkImageView handle or VK_NULL_HANDLE (https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/html/vkspec.html#VUID-VkWriteDescriptorSet-descriptorType-02996)

Apitrace made on Windows that is able to reproduce the issue on my RTX 4080. The issue is racy so may take some tries on other setups.

Haven't fully tracked it down yet but this is starting to look like another use-after-free bug in the game. This is insane, how does this garbage even work on Windows?

I'm having same issue but I can use dx9 with no issue by selecting it in game options. With dx11 I have tried ge-proton, umu-proton (which is having issue), wine-tkg. I haven't tried wine system 9.12. I can
switch to dx9 and use all them with no issue. I'm on current lutris 0.5.17. Dxvk v2.4.1
Endeavouros

Should be fixed for real as of 35ead85. Unfortunately, the thing that I did in an attempt to fix it in 2.4.1 gets optimized away in release builds because compilers kind of assume that freeing something means you don't intend to use it again.

But this is Sims 4, we free all our textures before using them for rendering around here.

how does this fix work @Blisto91 do i just replace the dlls in the game im playing or is it something else?

[Blisto91]

Depends on what launcher (or not) you use to play the game

[Rain-Gayming]

i'm using lutris & wine for it

[Blisto91]

In the location that Lutris stores the dxvk versions make a folder for the dxvk version you want to use. Name it what ever.
The screenshot below shows the location on my setup but it might differ when using flatpak or other.

Make folder

Extract the x32 and x64 folders from the downloaded archive in to said folder.

Extract

Open Lutris --> right click on the game/launcher --> click "Configure" --> go to "Runner Options" --> enable "Advanced" in the top right corner --> at the DXVK option click the dropdown button and select the folder name you made in step one --> press "Save" in top right corner.

Configure Lutris

When the next stable release drops (2.5) you can just use that instead. I believe Lutris auto selects latest if Advanced isn't enabled. (but don't quote me on that)

How do I do this on steam?

[Blisto91]

You can use Bleeding Edge which already have it.
Beware that Bleeding Edge is less tested than regular Experimental
