Far Cry 4: Black screen when launching the game.

[Kerrung]

Software information

Uplay version of Far Cry 4, it happens before I can see the game menu.

System information

• OS: Arch Linux, GNOME Xorg
• GPU: AMD Radeon HD7770
• Driver: AMDGPU kernel driver, today's the latest Mesa-git with this patch (but it happens when without this patch too), LLVM 7, but the same happens with any other drivers versions or/and LLVM 6.
• Wine version: my own PKGBUILD/package with today's the latest Wine-git + Staging-git built with GCC 7.3 because Wine still does not have GCC 8.1 support.
• DXVK version: 9ff17b0

Apitrace file(s)

• Please, tell me if you realy need it in this case.

Log files

• d3d11.log: FarCry4_d3d11.log
• dxgi.log: FarCry4_dxgi.log
• farcry4_terminal_output.txt

Please, tell me if you need any more logs.

I'll need an apitrace. I'm also pretty sure that the game was already working for other people and Far Cry 3 runs fine (well, sort of) on my system, so I'm rather surprised to see it not even reach the menu - does it work with wined3d?

[Kerrung]

@doitsujin, with WineD3D it looks like this (too) :

[doitsujin]

If wined3d doesn't work either, it's probably not even a dxvk bug.

Anyway, I'll gladly take an apitrace and take a look at it, but you'd have to record it on Windows in this case.

By the way, do you have the uPlay overlay enabled? If so, please disable it.

@doitsujin I will try to do it, but I need some time to do it.

1. Disabling uPlay overlay did not help, still the black screen.
2. But, for example, if uPlay overlay is enabled then this does not prevent the uPlay version of Assassin's Creed Unity from working fine with it.

@Kerrung : The game works absolutely fantastic and error free here on Nvidia gtx 970 with latest master (d44cc76).

Maybe the game works on Nvidia GPU, but it absolutely don't works on Radeon GPU.

@Kerrung : Mhh, i still have doubts if this issue is really caused by dxvk. Do you have any other games working with dxkv in that prefix ? Did you manage to get an apitrace ?

I apologize that I did not have enough free time to try to make apitrace.
In the same prefix, I have working fine Assassin's Creed Unity. Earlier with this game I had an some (now solved) issue but I did not get to do apitrace for ACU because I just could not get file.trace. But I hope that when I have enough free time, I will be able to find some workaround to get apitrace for FarCry4.

Have the same issue with GTX660 blob 390.48 on Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5.

[doitsujin]

@Kerrung can you re-test this with latest mesa-git? One of the latest commits fixes an issue which might be related.

@slapin 390.xx is outdated, see the driver support page on the wiki.

Anyway, an apitrace would be appreciated.

Sadly, but the latest Mesa-git, Wine Staging 3.10, DXVK-git did not help to solve the issue.
Still the black square.

@doitsujin for me this game also don't work natively on Windows too, so I close this issue.
Thank you.

(Ubisoft sucks)
