Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Dead Rising
  • Steam AppID of the game: 427190

System Information

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Game will crash roughly 5 or 6 minutes after launching no matter what. During the time before crashing the game seems to perform rather well and is almost perfect with winetricks xact installed to work around audio issues. The Proton log file repeatedly mentions dinput8.dll.

Proton log here.

Reproduction

Install game, launch then wait about 5 or 6 minutes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Dead Rising (Steam AppID 427190) under Proton 3.16-4 beta and inspect the linked Proton log, especially the repeated dinput8.dll entries. Done means the game no longer crashes after the reported 5–6 minute interval; the issue names no source file or test.
