The game seems to crash at startup whenever a non stock renderer option is selected on SelectRenderer. Is there a specific procedure to use a non stock renderer like dxvk or dxvk-async?

I haven't checked yet with select renderer, I'll take a look.
Are you sure your installation is correct?

reef elk
#

The game works normally if I just don't pick anything here

#

the other renderers, dxvk and dxvk-async, were detected by selectrender

thick aurora
#

Quick question, because I'm seeing wine mentioned in the dxvk repository, is this linux only?

reef elk
#

No, it works on Windows normally

thick aurora
#

Ah, okay. I'll try to get this running and see if Ican reproduce the issue

spring vigil
#

definetly tiered to DXVK, since ReShade renderer works perfectly fine

thick aurora
#

I think I'm running dxvk now?

#

the issue I'm having though is that this menu is no longer interactable after a restart

#

were you trying dxvk or dxvk-async?

#

I only tried the non-async one

reef elk
#

I tried both, with the same results

#

Is it just a skill issue on my part?

thick aurora
#

I doubt it lol

#

the selectrenderer thing is very weird, so I'm not surprised

#

do you have all dxgi files?

spring vigil
#

I'm guessing yes, but besides having the SelectRenderer you also got the lib_imgui.dll installed right?

thick aurora
#

<GW2>/dxgi.dll
<GW2>/bin64/dxgi.dll
<GW2>/bin64/cef/dxgi.dll

gleaming storm
#

it's just a very weird addon

thick aurora
#

can you share a screenshot of your main gw2 directory?

reef elk
thick aurora
#

share the gw2al_log.txt please

#

can you try removing d912pxy?

#

I see that it initialises there, and that sounds like a very weird setup

#

when the game loads dx11, downgrades to 9, upgrades to 12 somehow but also uses dxvk from 9

reef elk
thick aurora
#

still crashing?

#

has it previously worked, before you installed nexus

#

meaning just addon loader?

reef elk
#

yeah

thick aurora
#

let me install clarity and radial, maybe it's related to those

#

oh yea

#

installing radial =instant crash

#

let me see if I can find the .pdb for that

#

it seems it crashes on the update check

#

I'll try to get it working

#

oh

#

and it produces ghost clients

#

amazing

#

now it crashes somewhere else

#

I don't think I'm able to fix it

#

and I doubt friendly fire has the time or interest to fix it either

reef elk
#

damn

thick aurora
#

So, the only alternative I can give:
Use the stock renderer for now (reshade should still work if you care?)

And I'm currently working on Nexus-based alternatives for Radial/Clarity

#

I don't know if dxvk-async has a significant impact on you, but from my short tests my FPS was basically the same

reef elk
#

I'd rather drop radial, personally, I do get some big performance increases with dxvk

#

I guess it is what it is

thick aurora
#

I haven't tested Clarity, can you try it with just that?

reef elk
#

sure

thick aurora
#

I don't even know where to download clarity lol

reef elk
#

same dev, even

#

crashed too

thick aurora
#

Well, then your options I guess are:

  1. Remove Nexus for now
  2. Use stock renderer for now
  3. Remove Radial/Clarity
reef elk
#

removing both did work

thick aurora
#

This is all a bit annoying

#

I can't really give an estimate of when I have time to port those two addons

#

I hope to have them done by the end of the month

reef elk
#

dw

thick aurora
#

I'll get to work on Radial tomorrow again

#

didn't find the time this weekend

You're getting me all excited.
