Hello! Demon Stone has several issues as of the current master. The HUD is missing some elements, models have white textures, and the loading screens aren't rendered properly.

D9VK:

Native (taken from Windows trace):

The Windows trace plays back without errors on my Nvidia machine, so it might be an nvidia issue 😕

Also, the character models occasionally freeze during animations(which isn't shown in either trace), and @NerosTie mentioned an issue with the logo (not sure if I covered that here already or not). Thanks!

Are you using Wine's d3dcompiler impl?

ie. did you install d3dcompiler[_43/_47/_whatever] and d3d9x stuff via proton/winetricks

[CartoonFan]

It doesn't seem like I'm using Wine's d3dcompiler. I installed d9vk through winetricks, and winetricks shows that d3dx9 and d3dcompiler_43 are installed. All those dlls are set to native from what I can see, and I went ahead and installed the extra d3dcompiler stuff just in case, but it looks like the issues persist.

The vertical red line is gone, but it just a black screen now (tested with dxvk 1101)

[CartoonFan]

The HUD objects are now covered with a black square, and the "all-white textures" and " intro walk animation halting" problems still persist, as well:

With doitsujin/dxvk#1409 and doitsujin/dxvk@b9474cf , everything except the character halting has been fixed. Good job!

Can you show me what that issue is?

[CartoonFan]

I apologize for my earlier statement. I honestly don't know what happened or how I came to my previous conclusion, but it seems pretty smooth now. When playing, there is some noticeable micro-stutter (am I using that correctly?) right after the camera turns to face the protagonist, however it's much harder to notice compared to before. It also didn't show up in my attempt to record the issue with OBS 👻 , so I don't really know how to show it outside of describing it. My not-very-helpful failed attempt is here if you're curious (the relevant part would be at 0:12). I guess I'm OK closing it here if @NerosTie doesn't have any further objections.

Closing #321 for now.

Everything looks great now 🎉
