SpellForce: Platinum Edition → crash at launch

[NerosTie]

When I launch the game, I have a black screen then it crashes.

System information

• GPU: Nvidia GT 730M
• Driver: 435.21
• Wine version: Proton 4.11
• DXVK version: #852

Apitrace file(s)

I can't apitrace the game. It just ignores the d3d9.dll, I think. Probably related to the issue.

It doesn't crash in windowed mode (use the command line parameter -window)

edit: probably because of that:
info: D3D9: Setting display mode: 960x540@0

related: #405

Does eadde9d help here too?

[NerosTie]

No, nothing has changed.

I can launch the game in windowed mode. The issue is something about fullscreen, I guess...

[NerosTie]

For a weird reason, I can launch the game with my external 16:10 monitor, but not with my other monitor with 16:9 ratio and not with the laptop's monitor alone.

Tested with DXVK v1317.

It doesn't crash with Proton-5.9-GE-3-ST. I don't know why, but it's not DXVK's fault.

[NerosTie]

Retested with Proton-5.9-GE-6-ST and Proton-tkg 5.18 and it crashes with both. Maybe my previous comment was wrong... I reopen it.

Fixed with Proton 5.13-2 RC (I hope Wine will add this fix too)
