Can you tell me what build number it is and where you downloaded it from?

[legluondunet]

I own Director's cut MULTI 5 ( 3 cds ). Where can I find build number?

[elishacloud]

You can just upload your log file.

This log file?

d3d8.log

Try changing the front buffer capture mode. There is GDI and DirectX. Try them both and let me know if either of them work for you or not.

Results:

• directx: issue present
• GDI: issue not present:
  
  Full black background menu is a normal behavior?

[elishacloud]

That is normal for Linux, for some reason. Linux handles GDI differently. But not sure why DirectX is not working here. Either way there is an issue with how the wrapper captures the front buffer.

[legluondunet]

I made some tests with front buffer capture option set to "auto" :

• try different WIne versions: issue still present
• DXVK off: no issue
• DXVK 2.3.1: issue still present
• DXVK 2.3: issue still present
• DXVK 2.2: issue still present
• DXVK 2.1 and less: no issue
  

Do you know someone that can reproduce this issue?
Do you have a contact at the DXVK devs team?

[elishacloud]

I don't. But you can open an issue on their GitHub page: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

So what exactly does this actually do with the "DirectX" option? Does this just call GetFrontBufferData on a swap chain before actually rendering the menu or something?

GDI is not expected to work since we don't want to do presentation on the CPU in DXVK.

[elishacloud]

Does this just call GetFrontBufferData on a swap chain before actually rendering the menu or something?

Yes, that is correct. You can see all the code here. We call that command after the Present() before any other call happens, see here.

Note: the game was created in Direct3D8 and we use d3d8to9 to convert it to Direct3D9. Also, we use an old build of ReShade to allow us to add shaders, see applicable code here. This means that the call may be going through a swap chain.

Let me know if you need any other information here.

The only way I've ever managed to mitigate the issue fully on my Linux system was to set the Screen mode as Fullscreen. No superimposed text or black backgrounds in this mode.
