Cyberpunk 2077 crashed since the [Stable Update] 2022-12-06

Cyberpunk 2077 nativ crashed since the Update, with Steam Proton experimental it works

There is no native version. It’s a Windows game so Proton is needed to run it. See ProtonDB

It sounds like you were using the default Proton version (currently 7.0-5), then switched to Experimental.

I have tested something

with Proton Experimental the Game crash immediately

with Proton 7.0-5 and no launch option the Game works
with Proton 7.0-5 and launch option ( VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_1 %command% ) Game crash

Until now, I have always played with Proton Experimental and these launch options for DLSS and RT.

I need this ? GitHub - HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton: Fork of VKD3D. Development branches for Proton's Direct3D 12 implementation.

I’m using GE Proton using the following launch options with no issues:

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_1 %command% -dx12

I don’t know anything about GE Proton.
I have tested further.
With PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 the game works with DLSS.
As soon as I set one of the vk3d options, the game hangs.
I have noticed that it works in the background and as soon as it is in the foreground it hangs.

Could it be the compositer ?

Update : the compositer is not

I have found the solution. I hope so.
The Full Screen option crashes the intro at start-up. If you wait long enough it works.
Frameless window was the solution.
Proton Experimental works.

Could someone please verify this.

GE Proton has a lot of game specific tweaks that really help with some games.

Reading Protondb looks like it works best with GE
