Torchlight II won't launch through Lutris

Then the driver stack must be ok.

So why is Lutris causing this? Every option in my Lutris System settings are switched off…

Anything in the logs?

The logfile is really long, and I can’t really figure out if anything in it is relevant, but here it is:

Maybe Esync is the first one to try. For instance, is esync also on when the game is started from terminal?

Edit:
Not ESync but VSync…

Can ESYNC be enabled for native games?

Oh sorry, I think I’ve misread ESync. It’s VSync. And that is an option in the games options screen. I’ve toggled it but it doesn’t make a difference on my laptop. That’s an Intel graphics chip. I have to test it on my desktop.

It appears that “Hardware Skinning” is the issue. Enabling everything but that setting removes the flickering. The problem is, I want that setting because it apparently drastically improves performance.

I have that option too and its on… :thinking:

Did you have the flickering issue too?

Nope. Running at 2560x1440 with these settings from Lutris.

I’ve been playing Torchlight II via Steam (I don’t have my Steam games in Lutris), and I recently had that issue of textures on the characters flickering.

It started for me a few days ago when I got a mesa package update.

I’m using the Kisak mesa PPA. The recent update to 20.0.6 resulted in flickering. I went back to 20.0.5 and I do not have flickering issues.

Welp, now the flickering is happen no matter whether I launch it through Lutris or not.

Had an update of mesa drivers yesterday and now I have this issue too. When disabling hardware skinning the flickering disapears…

I’m at mesa 20.0.6-1 btw.

:slight_smile:

The Kisak mesa PPA updated to 20.0.7 for me today. Works fine now. For me, only 20.0.6 was problematic.

Ah. Nice. Then the problem was reported and the devs made a fix for it.

What’s Kisak mesa?

That’s a person who is maintaining a PPA (repository) which you can add to your software sources. That is when you’re running a Debian like OS which uses the apt packaging system.

I see. Since I’m running Arch I guess I’ll just wait for it to update. Shouldn’t be too long.

Yep, Mesa 20.0.7 fixed it for me too. Cool!

It’s being tested on Fedora. When enabling the Fedora test repositories it should be available. I will wait for release though.

Fedora got the update today. Yay!
