+d3d,+d3d11,+dxgi,+loaddll,+msgbox,+process,+seh,+tid debug log wine 8.11

Hello,

When launching Star Citizen with active apitrace (windows version), the game
crashes and shows an empty crash handler window & dialog.

Pre-requisites are workarounds mentioned in bug 54010, needed for the RSI
launcher & game to work at all.

apitrace is working with this:
- dxgi & d3d11 set to native,builtin for StarCitizen.exe &
StarCitizen_Launcher.exe in winecfg;
- dxgi.dll, dxgitrace.dll & d3d11.dll wrappers copied to the StarCitizen/LIVE &
StarCitizen/LIVE/Bin64 directories;

Yet, a StarCitizen.trace file is created by apitrace indicating that it's
indeed active.

When apitrace is not used, the game client can usually load. Sometimes it
crashes but not like the issue (returns to the launcher; no crash window or
dialog).

A +d3d,+d3d11,+dxgi,+loaddll,+msgbox,+process,+seg,+tid debugging log is
attached.

Regards.

Star Citizen failing startup apitrace

Here is the apitrace that is generated during the startup until the crash.

Note that the debugging log is 102MB uncompressed.

Just to make sure, on Windows running the game under apitrace works?

Hello,

I won't be able to check that anytime soon.

Alright, I just wanted to make sure, since in my experience not all games play
nice with apitrace to begin with. In that case there wouldn't be a Wine issue.

Some people had success using apitrace on Star Citizen in 2019, but this was
with DXVK and older version of apitrace/wine:

Hello,

It took me a few days but I finally managed to compile the Linux build of
apitrace. The game also fails to start with it. The game client closes silently
at approximately the same time as it would open the crash handler window with
the windows version of apitrace.

I guess you're right that the game doesn't play nice with apitrace.

Regards.
