Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues:
    • Dragon Quest XI S (1295510)
    • Octopath Traveler (921570)

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

With Proton 6.3-8:
20220307214536_1

With Proton 7.0-1:
20220307213929_1

Same problem with DQXI S. My theory is that this regression is affecting UE4 games, to test that I'm downloading Ace Combat 7
EDIT: Ace Combat 7 works

Reproduction

  1. Install these games with Proton 7.0-1 and above (including Experimental)
  2. Revert Proton version to Proton 6.3-8 and see that those games work perfectly

Research direction

Start with the reproduction steps and compare the attached Proton logs for Proton 7.0-1 versus 6.3-8. Investigate the fullscreen behavior in Dragon Quest XI S and Octopath Traveler; done means their fullscreen width is no longer squashed under Proton 7.0-1 and later.
