Description

Direct3D 11 games are crashing while starting on Wayland with Proton versions 5.13-6 and 6.3-3.

My test results

Proton Sway (Wayland) Plasma (Wayland) i3 (X11)
Experimental ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
6.3-3 ❌ ❌ ✔️
5.13-6 ❌ ❌ ✔️
5.0-10 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
4.11-13 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
4.2-9 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
3.16-9 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
3.7-8 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

✔️ Works

❌ Doesn't work

Games tested

  • Beat Saber (Unity, VR, D3D11)
  • SynthVR (Unity, VR, D3D11)
  • Autonauts (Unity, D3D11)
  • NieR: Automata (D3D11)

Workarounds

  • Using X11 (Not a good workaround)
  • Enabling WineD3D (Also not good)
  • WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dxgi=n %command% (Actually works!!, but why?)

Logs / Screenshots

Beat Saber and SynthVR:
DX11 not initialized

NieR: Automata
No VRAM?

Autonauts

Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date

drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled

3D acceleration in display settings.
Crash!!!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the supplied Autonauts log and the comparison table for Proton 5.13-6, 6.3-3, Experimental, Wayland, and X11. Reproduce a listed Direct3D 11 game with and without the dxgi DLL override, then trace the relevant Proton/DXVK path. Done means the affected games launch under Wayland without requiring the workaround.
