BattleField 4 Hangs at Launch

Launching BF4 through Steam, with GRVK (compiled from 2bb8b8e) using Mantle, causes a freeze after a couple seconds; then the screen goes black indefinitely.

Steps

1. Load BF4, go to settings.
2. Set API to Mantle.
3. Reboot
4. Encounter freeze/hang

📝 Notes 🗒️

• BattleField 4 does not always successfully launch.

  • Instead it opens a minimized Origin window, and eventually closes.
  • This also happens using GRVK-0.5.0, which is why I compiled a development build.

• The game freezes after about 2 seconds before going blank, or right here:

  • 

• My OS is compiled with -O3 & --march-native, unsure if that is relevant, but I figured certain compiled dependencies might cause problems.

  • Although it seems like the problems are with grGetExtensionSupport.

• I compiled GRVK on a separate, standard Arch Linux machine; as I struggled to get mingw working on Gentoo.

Game Settings

(I opened with DXVK to get this screenshot.)

Launch Options

System Information

• Operating System: Gentoo Linux

I hope my comment is formatted right. :>

¡Thanks for any help!

[libcg]

@gentoolinux-girl thanks for the report, does it work with stable releases? Proton 7.0-4 and latest stable mesa?

¡Hello! My apologies for the late reply.

No — I get the same results using:

• >=media-libs/mesa-22.2.3,
• Proton-7.0-4,
• and no launch options.

Where — the 2bb8b8e build will launch but freeze after 2 seconds and GRVK-0.5.0 fails to launch.

---

I have noticed something new: DXVK logs are still created when the game launches — despite running GRVK.

• bf4_d3d11.log (Empty)

• bf4_dxgi.log

• EALink_d3d9.log

• EALink_d3d11.log

• EALink_dxgi.log

• Origin_d3d9.log

• Origin_d3d11.log

• Origin_dxgi.log

Note — before, I was using >=media-libs/mesa-9999, _{(Gentoo's equivalent to mesa-git in Arch Linux)}, not Mesa 22.3.0.

Huh, tried 2bb8b8e action-build on Adrenaline 22.11.2 and got this:
grvk.log (bit different!)
grvk_axl.log (empty)
PROFSAVE_profile.txt

Same initial symptom: first launch shows splash screen in a window then goes fullscreen black. After that it shows no splash and just occasionally the bar-on-top-right loading icon before crashing.

Windows 11 (10.0.22621.963), Intel 8086K. Did an inadvisable "system-wide" install by copying straight into Windows/{System32,SysWow64}.
