Proton 8.0 has allowed me to get further in Madden NFL 23 so far on Lutris. It throws the DirectX Error in the screenshot below. I’ve attached my system information, the log for the flatpak verson of Lutris running Proton 8.0 and another log of the wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 (default) version in Lutris. My wine configuration is set to Windows 10.
System info: Ubuntu Pastebin
Proton 8.0: Ubuntu Pastebin
With wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, the game tries to launch but opens a black window which eventually crashes followed by the EA App crashing as well. Log for this is in the first reply to this post (new users limited to 2 links in a post).
I tried using PROTON_NO_D3D12=1 flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris -d
as PROTON_NO_D3D12=1
worked for many on ProtonDB but still get the DirectX Error in the screenshot. I also tried PROTON_NO_D3D11=1
as this worked for one on ProtonDB but still no luck. Using -force -dx11
in Lutris under Configure → Game Options → Arguments didn’t work for me either but this was also on ProtonDB.
I tried many other Proton versions, env. variables, arguments, flatpak and package manager version of Lutris, flatpak of Bottles, flatpak of Heroic Games, looking up the specific DirectX errors I’m gettting, querying about different lines with err
in the log, dxdiag, and a lot more.
In Bottles, with soda-9.0-1 (default runner), I get a DirectX Error as well but a different one:
DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been physically removed from the system, or a driver upgrade for the video card has occurred. "). GPU: "Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)", Driver #1 31.0.21902.5 08/31/2023 00:00:00. This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers.DeviceRemovedReason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been physically removed from the system, or a driver upgrade for the video card has occurred. ").
I’ve tried many of the same things I tried in Lutris but in Bottles and still get this different DirectX Error.
Can someone guide me in the right direction here? I’m completely lost on what to do next and have spent well over 40 hrs. trying to diagnose. That might not be saying much though as the only game I’ve set up with Proton before was Skyrim (years ago) which is relatively easy.
Thanks for reading
