Symptoms After launching the I momentarily get a black screen, then it closes.

Reproduction: Starting the game from the steam app.

I have tried launching with esync off, as well as using D3D11.

I have GeForce 1050 Ti with driver 418.43 and game launches normally. I think your driver is a bit outdated.

Yeah, just found a thread on the Manjaro forums, seems i'll be waiting for a repo update before I can report back.

Did you install all the nivida 32bit libs? Just a thought.

Does it have the mfplat.dll issue like Resident Evil 2 does?

Nope, but performance is way worse than on Windows.

Maybe give d3d11.relaxedBarriers = True in dxvk.conf a try? Supposedly increases perf when gpu bound in RE2 which uses the same engine.

So does Resident Evil 2

Hello @DigitalDevilSummoner, your log is missing a header that was added with Proton 3.16-7, which hints that you're not using the version of Proton that you expected. Please opt into Steam's beta client and/or go to Steam -> Library dropdown -> Tools and install Proton 3.16 beta from the list.

What is the path of dxvk.conf?

Updated my client, game is running fine now!

What is the path of dxvk.conf?

You need to create it in the folder the game's exe is in. Keep in it is only available with dxvk >= 1.0 and enabled by default for RE2.

Back to DMC5: People reported that it needs the same mfplat workaround as RE2 to play the credits at the end of the game, which also prevents you from accessing the higher difficulties.

Game is running perfectly here with a Ryzen 5 1600x and a GTX 1070 ti. Some minor stuttering due to the shaders, which causes desync of audio/video on cutscenes. The ingame videos won't work as of other RE Engine titles (such as RE2 Remake videotapes) so it's not possible to watch the DMC history timeline video or the combo previews ingame either. Aside from these minor problems, it's running perfectly.

Symptoms

The game will crash if with anything related to mfplat being used.

Reproduction

Selecting The History of Devil May Cry video on the title screen or trying to access the shop to buy abilities.

For those with AMD cards. I realized I still had the proprietary drivers installed. I ran sudo apt remove amdgpu* to remove them, followed the instructions here to install the open source drivers, and then restarted my machine.

it would be safe to make sure you have good backups before you do it. you never know if you accidentally screw up your video drivers and have to manually fix it

For me cutscenes run worse than the game, and like one of the reports in protondb says, while playing something will happen and the fps will tank to 15-20 and stay there no matter what, even changing the graphic settings and resolution.

Kinda reminds me of dks3, had a similar issue when you teleported.

Symptoms

After playing DMC5 till the end, I've got known problem with mfplat.dll.
I've tried to fix this by instruction mentioned on protondb DMC5 page with no success (game stops launching)
I've moved pfx folder away, and steam recreates it. But now game on start shows little window 'Something went wrong' and linking to https://support.codefusion.technology where i see text 'Currently your game purchase cannot be re-validated successfully, please wait 24 hours and try again.' then closes.

Reproduction

At every attempt to start a game.

UPDATE: Somehow everything works again. Maybe it was some kind of protection problems.
I've tried to install fix again and now it works.

@indeedwatson the game enables a lot of effects in cutscenes, but not in actual gameplay, such as Screen Space Reflections (all the effecs that are 'Variable' in the in-game settings menu). Lower performance in cutscenes is generally expected.

That said, 15-20 is a bit low, what's your hardware?

@doitsujin that makes sense, but doesn't explain the non-cutscene framerate drop.

I have an i5 4590 cpu, AMD R9 270x GPU, 8gb ram, on arch linux running latest dxvk, mesa 18.3.4.

Usually I get around 30-40fps, in hallways and closed spaces up to 90. Resolution scaling to 50% vs 100% seems to have no effect on this, which makes me think there's something odd going on.

After updating my OS from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Kubuntu 18.10, the game now boots for me.

I have the same problem with FPS on GTX 1050 Ti + FX-6350 and dxvk 1.0.1. Usually my FPS is 50-60+, but in certain areas I've noticed increasing of 'draw calls' from ~560 to ~1100 and my FPS lowers to 30-40 or worse. Here is my settings file: dmc5config.ini

Seems like the game is not working anymore because of the update that came recently. Some users have opinion that this update was the Denuvo update. All i get now when running game is black screen that closes after 5-10 secs. So don't update if you want to play this game.

I found interesting lines:

Maybe that will help.

Story missions are not loading for me. I've started DMC5 on 3.16-9 and 4.2-3. Other game modes work fine, it just seems like regular missions on any difficulty are not loading.

Also, after closing the game once, I got this error message.

I haven't gotten this error message again, and I have no idea if this is related to story missions not loading.

(EDIT: Added a log for proton version 4.2-3)

Update: messed around with the graphics settings (specifically switching to TAA rather than FXAA+TAA) and now it's working. Not sure why.

Do I have to do the mfplat.dll fix for every version of proton?

Until they get a wine with that integrated.
