dxvk: Scrap Mechanic: Game fails to launch with DXVK but works with WineD3D11

Software information

Name: Scrap Mechanic

Rendering API: DirectX 11

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/387990/Scrap_Mechanic/

What should happen: Game launches as normal.

Note: The game does launch when using WineD3D11 via proton setting! But it’s flawed with minor graphical glitches like missing transparency in glass etc or broken dynamic lights and bad performance.

What actually happen: Game launches, shows black screen & crashes seconds later.

Additional notes: It looks like the problem exists between the mygui library and dxvk, so I looked up the source code the game log refers to and found this on github: Line from the mygui.log: 00:39:29 | Platform | Critical | RenderManager 0 viewport sets | z:\deps\vc141\mygui\platforms\directx11\directx11platform\src\mygui_directx11rendermanager.cpp | 130

Github link with the cpp: https://github.com/MyGUI/mygui/blob/master/Platforms/DirectX11/DirectX11Platform/src/MyGUI_DirectX11RenderManager.cpp

Maybe this helps to determine the problem. Also this issue is reported by almost everyone on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/387990

I would try to uninstall the game completely and then reinstall it. Make sure to remove the prefix as well.

Unfortunately reinstalling the game with completely removing prefix didn’t help.

@NTMan Have you tried to delete/rename the “Shaders” folder from “/Scrap Mechanic/Cache/” ? The game will re-generate the files on game launch if it works correctly. It takes about 1-2minutes (blackscreen after launching the game is normal). Not sure if this will change anything, but might be worth a try.

I tried deleting the whole Cache folder myself & it has been re-generated by the game it seems. Sometimes the game rendered too small after doing so, but it was fixed when I pressed “Apply” in the graphics options.
