White Lines?

[2-Bit Jimbo]

I've just finished this game, absolutely wonderful on Deck, especially with the widescreen mod, but during my time I noticed these white lines that appeared during gameplay, it wasn't breaking my game but it was annoying, I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this at all yet? There's an imgur link from someone that had the same problem, but it didn't look like they had found a way to fix it:

I wrote up a guide for how I fixed this myself. Hopefully it works for others too.

That didn't work, I got the version specified and did all the guide said, and when I open up the game all the assets of the main menu are in the center and the game crashes when trying to select a file

[trolleybollocks]

That's a shame. You could try dragging the D3D9.dll and D3DImm.dll files into GameData\bin as well, and set the launch option to WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d8=n,d3d9=n,d3dimm=n" %command%. This is what I did initially but I found only D3D8 to be necessary.

The only other things I can think of that would be non-default in my case are that I have Wine and q4wine installed via Discover, and also that I changed my VRAM setting to 4 GB in the BIOS and have updated fan control turned off. I'm not sure if any of these would account for the difference. Otherwise I'm probably no more help, sorry.

Well having all of those files in there actually fixed the issue, and to be sure I also moved a different d3d8.dll file out of the directory and I think that fixed the issue, hell I'm getting the intro splash screens and map fmvs now too, but now there's a watermark on everything for dgVoodoo on the bottom right corner, I'm not sure if that's from a mod or what but other than that everything else seems fixed

EDIT: I found out the reason why, I had moved the .conf file out of the bin directory after the game kept crashing and forgot to put it back, everything's all good now, thank you so much for your help!

I'm happy you could get it working. I should probably change that guide to mention copying over the other DLLs, then. This was one of my favourite games in my teens, I played the hell out of it on Xbox. Hopefully a lot more people will be curious to play it with the new game coming up soon.

Thank you trolleybollocks, no more white lines using dgVooodoo2.
I confirm that only d3d8 file is needed.

It worked for me too :) Just make sure to download the correct dgVodoo version. I copy/paste author's guide:
Fix for the white line problem on Steam Deck:

Enter Desktop Mode on Steam Deck, download dgVoodoo 2.78 (Jan 11, 2022) from dege-diosg's GitHub via web browser, and extract the zip file
In the extracted folder, double click the file dgVoodoo.conf to open in Kate editor
Go to Edit > Find, type "dgVoodooWatermark" without quotes, change the value from true to false, and then click Save to overwrite the file
Close the editor and return to the extracted folder. Copy the modified dgVoodoo.conf to the game directory .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb/GameData/bin (browse installed files via Steam to navigate there faster)
Return to the extracted folder. Copy the file D3D8.dll from [extracted folder]/MS/x86 to the game directory .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb/GameData/bin
Return to Gaming Mode, click on the game and go to Settings > Properties > General, and type WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d8=n" %command% exactly as is under "launch options"
Exit back to the main menu and launch the game

On Proton 8.0-5, I was able to enjoy the entire game from start to finish without white lines using this method and it ran flawlessly on Steam Deck OLED. Don't forget to bump up the resolution via in-game settings for the best experience. I have no idea if this works with mods or not. Later versions of dgVoodoo crash the game on start-up on my Deck. I shared my controller config "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Steam Deck" under community layouts for convenience for anyone who wants to use it.

Thank you Babilonmusic for thisfully detailed tutorial on SteamDeck. I can confirme tha,t for the moment, dgvoodoo2 versions > 2.78 are not compatible with WIne/Proton.

dgVoodoo 2.78 can someone share? only api remained in the original repository

[bizarregenius]

Doesn't work. The dgVoodoo that's needed no longer has the conf file necessary. The up-to-date version also doesn't work because the game won't launch.
