dxvk: Star Wars Battlefront (2015) (Detected AMD Radeon driver version UNKNOWN)

When attempting to launch this game I get an error prompt informaing that the radeon driver version was detected as “UNKNOWN” the game then refuses to start.

Full error text “Detected AMD Radeon driver version UNKNOWN”

Error

I have attached all populated log files (most are empty at this point), I have attached an image for the error pop up.

I have tried having nvapi DLL’s enabled & disabled with no luck, I have also tried with

dxgi.nvapiHack = False and dxgi.nvapiHack = True

Command I am using to launch origin (and the game after) is

DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=debug DXVK_LOG_PATH=/home/user/dxvk_logs WINEESYNC=1 WINEDEBUG=ALL DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/user/dxvk.conf WINEPREFIX=/home/user/Games/origin wine ~/Games/origin/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Origin/Origin.exe

Feedback. It really works! Thanks for the fix.

On first startup when using AMD GPU: Error: Detected AMD Radeon driver version UNKNOWN

SIMPLE FIX: Make hidden directories visible in file explorer. Create a textfile and rename to dxvk.conf in /home/USERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/STAR WARS Battlefront/ and write this into the file:

dxgi.customDeviceId = 1C81
dxgi.customVendorId = 10DE

Save and hit play. Works like in Windows. No other startup options required. I’m happy.

Main issue above AMD driver detection is fixed now with

dxgi.customDeviceId = 1C81 dxgi.customVendorId = 10DE
