#game blackscreens then crashes after warming shaders

just what the title says, i've installed the game again after seeing that there was a patch for improved performance on low end pcs, and since my pc is super low end, i thought it would run better. i'm able to open the game but the intro is just a black screen (doesn't even show the logo) then the start screen shows up and after it ends warming the shaders the game crashes .

before, i was able to open the game and the menu and actually select my char and map, it would just run horribly. i'm aware my pc does not have the minimum requirements but i WAS able to play it through proton (i'm on linux mint)
I've tried almost every proton version, reinstalling the game etc, it just doesn't work.

i'm not finding any crash report associated. How much RAM do you have on your system?

undone sequoia
#

i've got 4 gigs + 8 of swap, so the minimum required, the game used to run before the patches

stable merlin
#

hmm

#

is that shared with video memory?

#

(integrated gpu)

#

or do you actually have a dedicated gpu?

undone sequoia
#

i've got an integrated

#

not even close to the minimum to run the game ik lol, it's still odd that it used to run tho

The shader warming causes an increase in RAM usage (about 300 mb). So it sounds like you're running out of memory.

#

What I can do is add a launch option for you that will skip the shader warming process. So no optimization for you but you can run the game again.

undone sequoia
#

you can do that? awesome

#

what's the launch option?

stable merlin
#

It doesn't exist yet. But I'll do it and ship it in the coming days

#

niceee, thanks so much! i'll still try to open the game, if anything works i'll report it here in case anyone got the same problem

stable merlin
#

Out of curiosity can you add the -rivalslog launch option, launch the game and then send me the log file after the crash?

undone sequoia
#

sure thing, gimme a sec

#

also quick question, does the game have native linux support now? i just opened without proton and it opened somehow

stable merlin
#

no it doesn't

undone sequoia
#

oh that's odd

stable merlin
#

Also, please zip and send the following folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rivals 2\Rivals2\.sentry-native

just opened the game (and crashed) where does the log file save?

undone sequoia
#

oh i imagine that's where the log is at

#

something to note too, the game DOES end up completing the warming shaders proccess, and then when the menu is loading it crashes

undone sequoia
#

hey so somehow the game opened? i just tried turning the resolution down to minimum in the pc and running the game (i also uh, spammed while the warming shader proccess was going LOL) and it works wayyyyy better than i expected
