DirectX error in games

Div_Sharp · 24 November 2020 10:35

I am new to Manjaro KDE and i like it. All of my apps run fine.

But the Games do not run at all. For instance if I run Among Us it says

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

I think I require to install DirectX but I cannot figure out How?
Can someone give me a tutorial.

Actually I am a game developer i myself make games and if this issue is not resolved i have to leave Manjaro cause I may not be able to test my games.

I figured out that Games made with Unity don’t work.

DirectX is a toolkit for Windows. It’s not a core component, so it’s not shipped with Wine, you need to add it.

You could take a look at Proton, which AFAIK includes DXVK, a compatibility layer between DirectX and Vulkan.

If you intend to make games playable on both Windows and Linux, you could also replace DirectX by OpenGL or Vulkan.

megavolt · 24 November 2020 14:05

I can run Among Us with proton on steam. Works like a charm without issues.

But your graphics card need to support vulkan:

Test it with (install vulkan-tools):

vulkaninfo

or

vkcube

If not, then you need to disable dxvk and use the common opengl layer in proton:

Start it with this command:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

One would have guessed a game developer or anyother developer to know these things…

Div_Sharp:

Actually I am a game developer i myself make games and if this issue is not resolved i have to leave Manjaro cause I may not be able to test my games.

I figured out that Games made with Unity don’t work.

No idea what kind of platform you create your games for, but abandoning Manjaro because you can’t get it to work is equal to abandoning Linux as a whole…
I guess you make your games for M$'s OS because of the DirectX you mention, in that case you should know that you need to develop on that OS also.

You can however develop platform independed if you use Frameworks that are so, like Vulkan/OpenGL in combination with Proton/Wine as mentioned above…

Div_Sharp · 25 November 2020 04:54

I make games on Unity. I know that too, but you know, I need other games made with unity to work on my system too. Such as the games on itch.io that are made for windows, 'cause i test other developer’s games too and they won’t give their time porting the game to Vulkan or OpenGL as unity if exported for windows automatically sets the renderer to DirectX.

Idk why but when i was on a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu (specifically Feren OS). It automatically worked without me trying to do any command line stuff other then just install wine.

omano · 25 November 2020 05:02

quoting from ‘the other thread’… removed ‘the other parts’.

Click your game in Lutris and look at the right side menu, you can run an executable inside your WINE prefix, so if you want to install DirectX you can do it this way, but you shouldn’t have to in theory. In the game configuration in Lutris just check the DXVK box it’s all it needs.

Granted you have DXVK working on your machine.

Also you can change the WINE version used in Lutris for other ones.

There is still the 4$ solution too

Div_Sharp · 25 November 2020 05:08

Ok I done it
By running vulkaninfo

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : /usr/lib32/libvulkan_intel.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ERROR at /build/vulkan-tools/src/Vulkan-Tools-1.2.159/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:248:vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties failed with ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

By running vkcube

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I think my integrated graphics are a problem? but when i search in internet it shows that Intel hd 4000 series have the support in Vulkan whereas windows does not have it.
I love that fact though

Div_Sharp · 25 November 2020 05:10

Already done it bro didn’t help
It stays always the same

are you are Linux pro or a Noob like me btw?

omano · 25 November 2020 05:13

If you mean do I have issue doing whatever I want on my computer, the answer is no.

That’s not how you run a game through Lutris by double clicking the executable in Dolphin.

Div_Sharp · 25 November 2020 05:24

I posted the wrong screen shot see this:-

First, every time I reboot I see this error idk why?

And yes this is the main problem

Do you know how I fix it?

megavolt · 25 November 2020 09:00

@Div_Sharp

Ok here is a step by step by step tutorial with pure wine in a terminal:

Install wine and winetricks:

pamac install wine winetricks

Create the directories:

mkdir -p ~/among-us/prefix

Initialize the prefix:

WINEPREFIX=~/among-us/prefix WINEARCH=win64 wineboot

Copy the game to /home/$USER/among-us/
Install directx11:

WINEPREFIX=~/among-us/prefix WINEARCH=win64 winetricks d3dx11_43 d3dx11_42

Start it:

WINEPREFIX=~/among-us/prefix WINEARCH=win64 wine ~/among-us/Among\ Us.exe

PS: Just tested and it works. Same thing works also in lutris because it is just a nice GUI for this.

Div_Sharp · 29 November 2020 08:37

Ok, now I know my integrated graphics wont work with vulkan that’s why this error happened. I think I have to use Windows to just run games.

Idk why, but when I search on Internet it shows that linux has a driver for my 4 series graphics that support vulkan. But I cannot figure how how to install it.
Here is a example that has that driver:-

Do I have to leave the issue as it is and use windows to run my games or is there any solutions.(I am not leaving Linux)

From what I see here:

the gpu has not full support.

The device on my laptop:

but at least i can start vkcube wthout problems… to be honest, i never used vulkan on intel gpus xD

Directx need to be downloaded. No Internet connection?

Update

Did the same steps like i descibed on my laptop. Works great and no problems.

But however… wine with vulkan does not work with directx11/10, but with directx9. For DX11/10 there you need to use wined3d with native libs (not built-in).
