happyday.1503 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I've played through what looks like the last bit of Descent 3 times, but each time right after I throw the spear into the heart, the game stops responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyday.1503 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just finished my 4th attempt, restarted before this one. The heart starts to shake, then the game just freezes. My guess is there's a cut-scene trying to start, but it's just not happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyday.1503 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Tried again, crashed again. Here's an image of what it looks like at the end.https://imgur.com/5TC6XN6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiningBlue.3268 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Similar problem but I got to 75% on the torment - then nothing, branded kept appearing I kept killing them, but the torment was never targetable after - I thought if I died I could restaret from a checkpoint but could even tab out and watch videos or come onto this forum, die and be ressed by aurene so that - does the fact that the meta had started influence this? Anyway have to try again - or wait until bugs are sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyday.1503 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not quite, I can't chat, use any skills, open any menus, close the game, it just crashes with a system dialogue box. Figure I'll try again after the next fix.I'm running the game through Steam with Proton, I'm running Ubuntu. I expect that has a lot to do with it. Honestly, I feel pretty lucky that this is the first time something like this has come up for me, but it's kind of a big deal not being able to see the end of the story, and not being able to start the skyscale collections.

Anyandrell.6238 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I had the same thing happening. I didn't close the game as my cat jumped in my lap, next thing I know, it was some big light (I guess the heart exploding) that tool about 20 seconds, then cut directly in the end scene with Aurene saying "share it with all of you".Also lots of "discovered" during the Descent, without saying precisely what. Also "we're blood brother's now". Nobody checks the script for this kind of errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it's just an issue with unsupported OS or if it's a bigger issue. Hoping it's on Windows too, otherwise I don't see a fix coming.

Scande.5908 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I too am playing on Linux, so not sure if it's the setup I use or game specific. First time playing the instance I got to see a cut scene, but it ended on a blackscreen and a crash. The next 3 times the game froze before the cutscene was supposed to happen.To play GW2 on Ubuntu I used the installer setup from I too am playing on Linux, so not sure if it's the setup I use or game specific. First time playing the instance I got to see a cut scene, but it ended on a blackscreen and a crash. The next 3 times it crashed before the cutscene was supposed to happen. Before the third redo I did let the client "repair" my game after having skipped that step the first 2 times (It asked me each time).To play GW2 on Ubuntu I used the installer setup from this thread this thread which runs quite well except for an occasional crash before, but never after entering a story instance (e.g. when loading a regular map).More details in this post.

ArmoredVehicle.2849 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I've had 0 issues with this part of the game, I will try to run this a few times on my systems and will report back to you. In the mean time let's try to go by elimination by checking a few possible causes for this.In terminal run these 2 commands (case sensitive):ulimit -Hnulimit -SnThey both will output a number, could you please post it here?Test Report #1:Played through the 'Descent' chapter till the end. No issues encountered.System Specs: Ryzen 1700X, 16GB Ram, GTX 1060 6GB (drivers v418.52.05) - Distro: Debian 9This test was done using WineD3D (OpenGL), not with the new D9VK.Test Report #2:Again played through the entire chapter twice without any issues.System Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 8GB Ram, GT 1030 2GB (drivers 418.52.03) - Distro: Xubuntu 19.10This test was ran twice using using both WineD3D (OpenGL) and D9VK.So far all 3 tests have completed successfully.

Check out the Troubleshooting section over here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/31192/playing-guild-wars-2-on-linux-performance-optimizations-and-more/p1?new=1I wrote a small guide how to increase those limits, let me know if you get stuck, will try my best to help.

happyday.1503 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks, I increased the limits by double, then (after rebooting and letting GW2 verify and repair when it crashed) used the numbers you recommended in the other post, crashed again.https://imgur.com/ez1IfB0I'm currently downloading the OpenGL package you made (thanks for that!), I'll try that next time and see if that makes a difference.

Scande.5908 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 AS I already mentioned here and in the other thread; my game also freezes before the cutscene.uLimit -Hn = 1048576uLimit -Sn = 1048576System= [WineD3D setup by @"ArmoredVehicle.2849" version 1.6.2_nvidia](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/31192/playing-guild-wars-2-on-linux-performance-optimizations-and-more/p1 "WineD3D setup by @"ArmoredVehicle.2849" version 1.6.2_nvidia")Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTSIntel I5 6500, 3GB KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 (Driver 390.116), 8 GB DDR4-2133Played mission ~10 times.

Scande.5908 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I just retried the mission 2 times more with graphics settings changed to "best performance" and now get a crash report instead of just a freeze.Unfortunately I am unable to copy the crash report with Ctrl+C. I did a couple of screenshots, but I don't want to upload/crop each of them unless it would really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmoredVehicle.2849 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So I found a temporary folder created by GW2 with the 'bink2w64.dll', most likely has something to do with the crash (there's a cutscene after the heart is destroyed). It's late so it will have to wait until tomorrow.Also, can you please post the full path where did you unpack the game? As in "/home/user/games/GW2" etc.... Although unlikely such a thing would matter, there however may be a tiny detail which I suspect may cause an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyday.1503 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've unpacked to /home/user/GW2 @"ArmoredVehicle.2849" . Output of debug can be found here: https://pastebin.com/0ZrpKTLw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
