--- Comment #11 from TL HereInPlainSight+wine@gmail.com --- This bug seems to be affecting multiple games. Coming here from looking into a bug reported on the Proton tracker ( https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2908#issuecomment-1003268034 , comments prior to are about a different bug ) about compatibility with ReShade and GShade for various games. I'm experiencing the issue in Skyrim (which I don't believe I can run in wine alone), but it's being reported in other games as well, including Stalker: Anomaly (available at https://www.moddb.com/downloads/stalker-anomaly-151 ). Unaware of THIS report, I ran a bisect, testing with Anomaly, and came up with the exact same commit. Of note, the issue is clearly visible even on the menu of the game, loading in isn't even required.
From what I can tell, this issue doesn't seem to happen to everyone. There's
certainly some comments I've seen about some users installing one of the shaders in Skyrim and not seeming to have any problems. I'm not sure what the shared link is, here, exactly, on why some users experience the issue and some seem not to. One user in the Proton thread tried messing with their polling rates ( https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2908#issuecomment-1086734482 ) but said it didn't help.
Note that by all description, users in the Proton thread are seeing exactly what g0re described. Immediate and complete freezing of the game. I've gotten them as short as six seconds if I stop moving the mouse / pressing any keys immediately, but some in the thread mentioned freezes of up to a minute.
And, yes, the issue still occurs all the way up to wine 7.5. Is there anything we can provide that might help narrow this down?
