Dark Sector crashes after changing ingame resolution

[LucasSnatiago]

Please describe your issue as accurately as possible.

When I play Dark Sector it crashes 90% of the time when I change screen resolution in game. I can change the game settings file and it is going to work as a workaround. Furthermore, sometimes it crashes randomly whenever I minimize the game or during action.

Software information

Game: Dark Sector
Settings: Default settings (it crashes always when I try to select any other screen resolution in game)
All other options are left the default ones

System information

• GPU: AMD Radeon 8 Graphics (Renoir)
• Driver: RADV (Mesa3D 24.3.1-3)
• Wine version: Proton: 1733476477 experimental-9.0-20241206
• DXVK version: Proton: 1733476477 experimental-9.0-20241206

Apitrace file(s)

Apitrace -> Something completely unusual happened. I could not get the game to crash while using the apitrace. It basically fixed the crash. Is it supposed to happen??????

Hi there and thank you for the report.
Can you check if launching the game with DXVK_CONFIG="d3d9.textureMemory = 0" %command% makes a difference for you?

Sorry for butting in, but for me at least, the game crashes after I blow up the helicopter in the first level on steam deck, but works fine after that. However I noticed that if I tried pressing continue after beating the prologue or manually loading into a level like the prologue or exposure, the game will freeze up on loading and crash. Beforehand i had to drop to proton 7.0-6 to fix it.

If i use that command, it actually fixes it and let's me load chapters again without dropping to 7.0-6
