Crash with DLSS Enabled in Star Citizen

[etgbrown]

I've been experiencing crashes in Star Citizen whenever I enable DLSS since it was added in the 3.23 patch.

This stood out a bit from the log:

Unknown Function IDs:

NvAPI_QueryInterface (0x33c7358c): Unknown function ID
NvAPI_QueryInterface (0x593e8644): Unknown function ID

Application Profile Not Found:

There are repeated messages about the application profile for Star Citizen not being found? It appears to hit the log 5 times when the application crashes.

NvAPI_DRS_FindApplicationByName (C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE\Bin64\StarCitizen.exe): Executable not found

Also getting this missing settings line a few times

NvAPI_DRS_GetSetting (0x10e41df2/Unknown): Setting not found

Any help or pointers on how to fix this would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Game.log

Running under Proton, that version included 0.64, although I have switched to wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 which allows 0.70 to be utilized. The same issue is reproduced

dxvk-nvapi.log

The two "unknown function id's" are afaik for debugging purposes and not really used.

As to the "DRS" settings, it would probably not mean anything other than a "profile is not found". I do not know if this game NEEDS a particular profile tho, but meh.

Unsure if the game uses DX11, 12 or Vulkan tho? Can you "select renderer" or something like that?

Thanks for the report. Could you try the build from this PR? #178

The log says:

NvAPI_QueryInterface NvAPI_GetLogicalGPUFromDisplay: Not implemented method
NvAPI_GetPhysicalGPUsFromLogicalGPU: Expected logical GPU handle

This might actually be interesting. That said, this is quite early in the logs, so also likely completely unrelated to DLSS.

The game uses DX11 and Vulkan, currently when you switch to Vulkan, you must set WINE_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 otherwise the game crashes when you attempt to launch it. When that is set, DLSS is not available to enable.

The build from #178 appears to have the same issue, but those two items you referenced have changed, I have the log below.

Thanks for the fast response. Looks like it goes further and starts querying GPU info. What happens if you add https://github.com/Saancreed/wine-nvml in your prefix together with the nvapi version from above PR? You should see a statement in the DXVK-NVAPI logs when NVML has been found and loaded.

I was able to add it into the prefix, and it appears to initialize correctly however the rest of the log appears to be the same.

Could it be possible that Star Citizen is expecting an application profile and attempts to query it several times and crashes when a profile is unable to be identified/provided?

Could it be possible that Star Citizen is expecting an application profile and attempts to query it several times and crashes when a profile is unable to be identified/provided?

Let's find out. I've added a second commit that let's that method succeed.

Let's find out. I've added a second commit that let's that method succeed.

I've tested that- it appears that now it can find the game, it's looping on not being able to find settings just before/during the crash.

Log goes from this before enabling DLSS:

Thanks. It is not looping, but trying to read different settings (the setting-id is always a new one). Considering that it doesn't stop after the first settings, I think the game handles not existing settings (or not existing profiles) just fine.

I don't know what comes after this and tbh no idea what causes the crash based on the game log. Is there a way to increase the log level for the game log itself?
The nvapi logs look good now, my guess would be that the issue is somewhere else in the stack. Sorry.

I see there is a "play for free until 29/5" thingy on the SC site, so i will try to download the game and see if i can get it running.

Well.. After the couple of hours of fun downloading and actually getting this to run at all, atleast i can confirm the same issue.. So the report is atleast "valid" 😏

Anyho.. The probably unrelated stuff first:
The driver version seems to be all wonky for some strange reason.. It did start of throwing some warning about me having too old driver, but that seemed to randomly go away. (Suspect garbage data is the cause...)
D3D Adapter: Driver version (UMD): 32767.65535.65535.65535
The next few lines is probably not overly important as this does not show up without nvml:

GPU: Architecture =
GPU: Compute Core Count = 2304
GPU: Core Clock MHz = 0
Memory Clock MHz = 0

I would claim that the DRS stuff is not important... And that kind of leave us with this:

NvAPI_D3D11_CreateSamplerState: OK
NvAPI_D3D11_CreateSamplerState: OK
NvAPI_D3D11_CreateSamplerState: OK
NvAPI_D3D11_IsFatbinPTXSupported: OK

Yeah.. i removed the "alreadylogged" thingy to see how many calls it was.. But for all i know it could be fairly reasonable to call this thing 3 times.

This atleast is used by DLSS me thinks.. and from various other reports it can also be used with some sort of cuda function, but i see no attempt to load nvcuda.dll in the log, so not sure whats up with that. The "FatbinPTX" is as far as i would think for cuda tho, so it could possibly try to set up some cuda PTX kernel maybe? Will continue to hack around a bit more with this, but it is a horrible thunderstorm outside atm, so not overly eager to spend time in front of the PC 🫨
