Software information
Gothic and Gothic II: Gold Edition crash on startup, whether D9VK is used or not.
System information
- GPU: GTX 760
- Driver: 440.31
- Wine version: Proton 4.11-8
- D9VK version: 0.30
Logs? Apitrace?
If it crashes without D9VK then it's not a D9VK issue.
Gothic 1 uses Direct3D7.
Gothic 2 used Direct3D8.1.
So this has nothing to do with D9VK.
Sorry for the confusion. Gothic 2 still crashes at startup even when d3d8to9 is installed, so it’s an issue with Wine/Proton.
FYI both Gothics are DX7. They only use ddraw, so d3d8to9 is of no use. dgVoodoo2 works, but it's slower than wind3d. Crashes are caused by dmusic.

PCGamingWiki says it’s DX8 (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DirectX_8_games), but it crashes whether or not d9vk or wined3d is used, so I think it’s an issue with Wine/Proton.
There’s a DX11 mod for Gothic 1/2 I’m going to try when I get home from work to see if it launches with DX11.
More info on my progress getting Gothic and Gothic II to work here.
