Missing Card Images on Proton: Found Issue, Not Sure How to Fix

[SleepyGuard]

So, the game requires you to run dx11. Installing and enabling that can get the game to run on Proton, but then when you go into a fight, the card images won't show. (Trying to force WINE3D instead can cause the game to not run with weird text symbols.)

The blank images are because of a DXVK option called "d3d11.dcSingleUseMode". In logs it will show a string like this when the card images are loaded in:

warn: D3D11: Command list submitted multiple times,
warn: but d3d11.dcSingleUseMode is enabled

"d3d11.dcSingleUseMode" is a setting that's supposed to save memory:

This is the relevant information about it:

# Assume that command lists created from deferred contexts are only used
# once. This is extremely common and may improve performance while reducing
# the amount of memory wasted if games keep their command list objects alive
# for too long, but may also lead to rendering issues if command lists are
# submitted multiple times.
#
# Supported values: True, False

# d3d11.dcSingleUseMode = True


So basically it's attempting to save memory and breaking the image rendering. Supposedly we could set it to False, but I have no idea where the relevant file to edit would be.

Anyone have any ideas?

Didn't they supposedly release a patch (saw from a post on X) that made it so you don't need to do any tinkering and can run it normally? Failing that, Proton Experimental should work without the need for all that extra stuff... well, at least for Steam Deck. If you're gaming on Linux anyways why not setup SteamOS as a bootable option so you don't have to run through so many hoops?

When was the patch released? Haven't looked at my Steam Deck yet, but I'd like to know if it'll run on game mode now?

sounded like it should but that's just what I read on X.

&i'm guessing these launch options fix the card visual problem.

 DXVK_CONFIG="d3d11.dcSingleUseMode = False" %command% 

that should solve it inside game mode trying to edit the config files directly is a bit annoying

Have you tried this on your steam deck and run?

This worked on steam deck, thank you.

Yup, thi

Yup, this works. Cards can be seen now.
There's still the matter of you can't use keyboard to type when searching for cards in the shop or when editing the deck. Bringing up the keyboard and typing anything crashes the game.

PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 %command%

does this one maybe work instead? it's from the post I linked on x and it seemed like they had the game 100% working.

Nope. Maybe I did something wrong, but the game won't even launch when I entered that in.

i guess the only option is desktop mode with a plugged in keyboard or somethin then.

i wouldn't recommend falling back to WINED3D it can work around problems don't get me wrong but it is normally much harder on the hardware. As for the keyboard thing i am actively looking into it. As far as i can tell both Dear Days games crash in the exact same way when you try to type the games get something back they cant handle and crash. Sadly that's about all I've been able to get the logs to cough up since DD1 came out. As for working around it via a plugged in keyboard this is the first I've heard of that as the crash happens even on my main desktop any information that anyone has to share about this is welcome any change we can introduce at this point may be what leads to solving this for good

Hardware is made to handle being ran at 100% when it comes to computing devices like PCs, steam decks, etc. I always run my 3090 100% when doing AI stuff for years on end and it still works the same as the day I got it. IF you're not running your hardware at peak power then why did you buy a device that powerful? If WINE3D supposedly fixes all the issues, then use it... All there is to it.
