I've no access to Gist, attach it as a file here: steam-runtime.log

Thanks, I suspected we'd get lucky with a video driver issue of some kind, but the runtime diagnostics look healthy overall, so I don't have an quick suggestion to try for the access violation (c0000005) that the game is tripping over.

Oooh no! It's a bad news 😅！I got the same (it seems as) problem when playing some other games, which all relate to a message: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/xxx/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. 😒

[kisak-valve]

When a game is started from Steam, a 32 bit and 64 bit variant of the Steam overlay gets LD_PRELOAD'd. One silently loads while the other harmlessly fails. This is a red herring and not interesting.

Well, but I found all games which I can't launch will report this message, it's weird 😅

[kentarospin98]

For me the game starts up and says "Steam initialization failed. Check local steam connection"

What's the problem?

The issue is that the game loads with some malformed or distorted textures, as if they were placed randomly, as shown in the following images:

I've tried many things to fix it, such as clearing the ~/.cache/nvidia folder, also clearing the Steam caches, disabling shaders in Steam, re-enabling them, using only ESYNC, switching to only FSYNC, changing settings in DXVK, and clearing the DXVK cache. I've also reset the wineprefix, even installed SteamStinkerLaunch to try more options in the hope of finding a solution. This happened suddenly because it used to work fine.

I should mention that the game is installed on an HDD, but I have symbolic links from the Steam cache and compatdata to my root SSD ~/ (My operating system runs on an SSD).

I've also tried changing different GPU environment variables, such as:

__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_YIELD=USLEEP __GL_MaxFramesAllowed=0 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1

About of my settings

My grub have this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia_drm.modeset=1 apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

My nvidia settings in xorg have:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
        Driver     "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        BoardName  "GeForce GTX 1050 Ti"
        Option     "ForceCompositionPipeline" "On"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
EndSection

And in modprobe:

options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

60-nvidia.rules.txt nvidia.conf.txt

The game is optimized, and all graphics settings are set to the minimum.

What should i try guys? Thank u very much!

[lboklin]

I don't know why I commented on the closed issue instead of this, but I'll say the same thing here. The problem seems to go away if you select DirectX 12 in the graphics settings of the game. However, the option appears to be limited to certain newer types of GPUs. It's available on the Steam Deck, but not for my desktop's GTX 1070.

I would much prefer to play on my desktop PC, so I hope a workaround or fix can be found.

[lboklin]

I learned that you can force dx12 by adding a file called ExtraVars.unityargs in the game's data directory with the content "-force-d3d11". The launcher may try to remove the file before the game is launched (it didn't for me, but this source claims it does), in which case I suppose you could just remove write permission. Here's how you can do it quickly:

$ cd '<path>/NARAKA BLADEPOINT/'
$ echo "-force-d3d12" > ./ExtraVars.unityargs

This fixes the problem of disfigured characters!

[lboklin]

The problem seems to have been resolved in the latest update of the game! Characters look normal now with DX11.

Symptoms

the game becomes really buggy after a while. I get stuck in the ground,i wont stop sprinting and my weapon slot keeps switching between weapons , in the Lobby my characters also look like they are in the ground with half of their body, when grappling around it looks really weird

Reproduction

enable dx12 in the game settings then restart the game.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4907#issuecomment-2639993392

The same issue occurs on Fedora 42 with kernel 6.14.5-300.fc42.x86_64, Xe kernel driver, and Mesa 25.0.4. Additional symptoms include text rendering issues (certain UI elements appearing black when they shouldn't be) and skill system malfunctions: inputs remain unresponsive despite displayed 0s cooldown timers.

Hello @Vinicius16091991, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.)

I suspect that you need mesa 25.0 or newer for VKD3D-Proton. Can you test with mesa from a PPA like kisak-mesa?

[simifor]

@Vinicius16091991 working fine on my end with mesa 25 and proton 10 with both dx11 and dx12, so it's likely just like kisak mentioned and your drivers need to be updated. the proton log should confirm this if it is the case.

@magikarq when the character sinks does it look like they are in some sort of default pose? if so, I managed to get this but just once. If you know of a way to make this happen more often let me know.

[softwaresocialist]

This doesn't happen anymore with newest proton

[Yuyuyuyu-an]

This doesn't happen anymore with newest proton

It doesn't happen with i915 kernel driver.But when I switch to xe kernel driver,The problem still happens.

[kisak-valve]

Hello @Yuyuyuyu-an, it might be worthwhile to mention your findings to your video driver vendor if it hasn't been already.

[lwh]

I have been playing this with NVIDIA 3050, proton 9 and 10 using dx11 , it works fine but once in a while I get the same stuck animation / stuck running as https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4907#issuecomment-3046591941

Stopping the game from Steam then starting again fixes it.
