Game crash on linux

[MisterHyde]

I am playing it for half an hour now and it randomly crashes while I am walking around in the city Khorinis.
The version I am using is 7a42d18. The OS is an arch linux with 6.12.4 kernel and the nvidia 565.77-5 driver version.

Here is the crash log:

---crashlog(DeviceLostException(device is lost))---

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @MisterHyde,

just checking, did you start the game from your manual build (the version 7a42d18 you are referring to) or did you start an AUR build?

[MisterHyde]

Hi I did built it manually because the AUR seems like it is orphaned

Hi, @MisterHyde and thanks for report!

DeviceLostException

Basically something has crashed on GPU side, and we do not have much information here, other than "something went wrong"

Can you share what graphics setting are you using and command line arguments?

[MisterHyde]

Hi, I have not changed anything on the graphics setting and calling the script in the following way:

Gothic2Notr.sh -g ~/Games/gothic-2/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Gothic\ 2\ Gold/

And the settings are:

• Extended Configuration: Everything set to yes
• Visual Settings:
  • The two slider on maximum
  • Range of View=300%;
  • ObjectFading=200%
  • Sky Effects to yes
• Video settings: Graphic card is the one in the crash.log and Resolution is set to full
• Performace/Quality: High Performance

Also the game has the following output on terminal. You can find it here crash.txt, because it is quite a bit. I don't know if they are related to the crash.

I've looked a bit into this today:
Can't quite reproduce crash in later Nvidia; long term we can integrate VK_NV_device_diagnostic_checkpoints, to have more info after gpu-crash.

However before that, can suggest to toggle off some settings in Extended Configuration menu. Or maybe toggle off mesh-shading (-ms 0 in command line)

[MisterHyde]

With the settings toggled of in Extended Confiugration it does not crash anymore. I hadn't have the time to investigate which settings was causing the crash, I will report if I was able to test it.

Thanks for your effort to enable us to play that awesome game :-)
