Alan Wake: Flashing lights and coloured frames

[NotBigIntoBooks]

When playing Alan Wake using DXVK on Windows, when looking in some directions there are flashing lights at the top of the screen, and some frames are black or a filtered colours. These anomalies are linked to framerate so are difficult to capture screens of.

Alan Wake (Steam) Settings: 4x AA and the rest in the screenshot.

System information

• GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT
• Driver: 21.7.2 (latest)

Thanks for making DXVK, its very useful for working around AMD not optimizing older APIs in the Windows drivers for their newer cards.

I can't reproduce the problem and there are no validation errors either. This is probably an AMD Windows driver bug.

[NotBigIntoBooks]

Okay, I'll file a bug report with AMD.

try with DXVK 1.7.3

[NotBigIntoBooks]

Thanks for the suggestion, the issues don't appear with 1.7.3.

[Squall-Leonhart]

Probably the same as #2179

[K0bin]

It is indeed. Feedback loop.

@NotBigIntoBooks Friendly ping. Could you try this again with 1.10.2 and latest driver?

Unfortunately not, I'm not near my desktop and won't be for a while

[Blisto91]

No worries :+1:

[NotBigIntoBooks]

@Blisto91 I've now had the opportunity to check. With 1.10.3 the issue appears to be resolved.

Sweet thanks!
