Are you using ACO?

I'm in the middle of testing something else with Hitman 2 right now, but both the update came in and I was testing a patch for ACO on mesa master so I switch from mesa from git master to mesa with ACO based on a git diff patch and was thinking that was the reason for my error. Thought it might have been due to using dxvk-ags, but that was reverted when I validated all the game files and the issue still occurred so it's very doubtful dxvk-ags is responsible.

Gonna test plain ACO in about 20 minutes (PC is busy at the moment) followed by a recompile of mesa from master and test that.

The error I'm seeing has something about GfeSDK.dll in it. I've rebooted since seeing that and didn't get a copy/paste of my terminal output. Sorry, thought it was related to other stuff I've been doing and didn't think it relevant to get.

Make sure Nvapi is disabled in your wine prefix. As far as I know, GfeSDK.dll is part of Nvidias Geforce Experience.

Did you change anything in the dxvk config file?

It is which is why that had me scratching my head.

That's a possibly in regards to the config file....gotta check....

 d3d11.maxTessFactor = 64
 dxgi.syncInterval = 1
 d3d11.samplerAnisotropy = 16

The config file seems alright. I was just wondering if you had changed the vendor id to Nvidia but thats not the case.

Just tested with mesa-aco and it has the issue. Started compiling mesa-master, waiting on the 32-bit part to finish, and about to reboot and test that.

Tested mesa-aco with both a Proton-Tkg build from last night with dxvk from f37d4b5 (one commit after 1.4) and Proton 4.11-6 with the dxvk 1.4 they include.

UPDATE: Same issue with mesa-master and the same tkg build and 4.11-6. Gonna build a TKG Proton based on dxvk 1.3 and see how that fares.

The game was also updated this morning and it's likely that update is cause of the problem. The 1.4 + 1 commit in my Proton TKG build was working perfectly fine this morning until I updated Hitman 2.

EDIT: Restarted Steam to test the 1.3 build and Hitman 2 got a 10GB update. Hopefully that fixes this issue.

This is not my bug. I don't know what they changed in the game but it just errors out for absolutely no reason; the same thing happens with wined3d.

Please report this on the Proton bug tracker instead.

The 2nd update didn't fix it and I tested that with both 1.3.4 and master with an up-to-date TKG Proton and 1.4 with Proton 4.11-6 and both of those with both Mesa versions. There's a issue over at the Proton tracker as well.

What did fix it was using dxvk-ags with the header set to 5.1

Interesting; for me the game just crashes if I do that.

[skeevy420]

aufkrawall noticed it was only working with with proton-tkg and not with Proton 4.11-6.

EDIT: With proton 4.11-6 the error I'm getting using dxvk-ags is
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function amd_ags_x64.dll.agsGetCrossfireGPUCount

[doitsujin]

Turns out there was an entry point missing from my AGS DLL:
doitsujin/dxvk-ags@224dbba

With the latest code, this works now.

[skeevy420]

Thanks.

Thanks @doitsujin @skeevy420

Should I start an issue over at dxvk-ags for this?

That dxvk-ags update works just fine for me with proton-tkg but not with proton 4.11-6. I'm not sure if that's an actual issue with anything here or if Tk-Glitch adds some special sauce for ags possibly making it a proton issue.

EDIT: Disregard that. Just saw the one you posted at the Proton issue and it works just fine with tkg and valve protons. I'm probably doing something wrong in the build process.
