All animated objects are invisible. Game Unplayable

[RovakX]

I have played this game before on my old system and back then it ran just fine.
I reinstalled it now, but it is completely unplayable.
- Every animated object is invisible, just flashes on the sceen for a single frame every few seconds.
- The menus have no backgrounds, the main menu has a black background, all other menus pile on top of it, still showing the menus underneath.
- The volume setting is ignored, always launches at max, blowing my eardrums out.
- ...

I tried the solutions eveyone and their dog suggests on every post.
- GPU drivers are up to date
- verified integrety of game files
- Reinstalled DirectX
- Reinstalled game
- Reset game
- Tried different resolutions and visual settings, bot windowed and full screen
- Closed every other program running I could find
- Disconnected controller

I run windows 10, up to date.
My system is brand new and more then powerfull enough to run this (R5 3600 CPU, RX 5600XT GPU, 16 Gig's of RAM, ...)

Any suggestions on what I can try next?

Has anyone tried this consistently over the years with different hardware? Is this happening on the original and the remastered? Did this start after a patch? I wonder if this game broke so we would have to buy the remastered. I bought this when it first came to steam is a microsoft bundle of xbox arcade games years ago, I didn't care for it then but I might now if I could get it to stop flashing even in the title screen and the character in mission 1. 5700 too.

I've been running AMD for years. Neven had a problem before now.

So I was super sad that classic MotN broke with AMD drivers. I run a 5700 XT and couldn't find anything that would get it working again....until today.

The 32-bit version of DXVK fixed this for me. Just pull the latest release, unzip it, and drop everything from the 32-bit folder into \Steam\steamapps\common\mark_of_the_ninja\bin

Download the latest release here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.7.1

Pretty excited to have this working again, as I was bummed they patched out wall kicks in the remaster. May actually attempt to learn to speedrun classic now. Best of luck AMD folks, hope DXVK works for you, too.

Edit: Only potential downside is it seems to break the steam overlay and screenshots, but worth the trade imo.

Is this a fix for linux version? I'm having exact same issue with Shank 2 on WIndows 7 and Ryzen/Radeon

I'm on Windows 10, so I can't say for sure it works with 7. DXVK was designed for Linux, but the .dll files it uses work fine in Windows as a wrapper for the Vulkan API to make DirectX games work with modern Radeon graphics cards. I wish AMD would just get it together with their Adrenaline 2020 drivers and DirectX, but I've good success with DXVK on this game and on WWE 2K20 (which still crashes from time to time, but is actually playable with only some minor graphical issues using DXVK libraries).

You're a life saver! I've updated my hardware and Shank 2 stopped working. It is one of my favorite games and we play Surival with my best friend regularly. It worked for me on WIndows 7.

Hi all, wanted to confirm that this worked for me on shank 2 https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.7.1 dl the tar.gz file extract it and copy the content of x32 map, drop in in the bin install of game and voilla! thank alot guys.

Vulkan is the best API ever solving even those problems with windows. And for anyone having and playing AC Odyssey it offers big pefromance improvement but you must play it in fake fullscreen mode to not cause problems.

Instructions unclear, cannot see anything labeled' x32 map'. Unable to 'unzip' *.lib files ?
