Thanks, I suspected we'd get lucky with a video driver issue of some kind, but the runtime diagnostics look healthy overall, so I don't have an quick suggestion to try for the access violation (c0000005) that the game is tripping over.

Oooh no! It's a bad news 😅！I got the same (it seems as) problem when playing some other games, which all relate to a message: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/xxx/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. 😒

[kisak-valve]

When a game is started from Steam, a 32 bit and 64 bit variant of the Steam overlay gets LD_PRELOAD'd. One silently loads while the other harmlessly fails. This is a red herring and not interesting.

Well, but I found all games which I can't launch will report this message, it's weird 😅

[kentarospin98]

For me the game starts up and says "Steam initialization failed. Check local steam connection"

What's the problem?

The issue is that the game loads with some malformed or distorted textures, as if they were placed randomly, as shown in the following images:

I've tried many things to fix it, such as clearing the ~/.cache/nvidia folder, also clearing the Steam caches, disabling shaders in Steam, re-enabling them, using only ESYNC, switching to only FSYNC, changing settings in DXVK, and clearing the DXVK cache. I've also reset the wineprefix, even installed SteamStinkerLaunch to try more options in the hope of finding a solution. This happened suddenly because it used to work fine.

I should mention that the game is installed on an HDD, but I have symbolic links from the Steam cache and compatdata to my root SSD ~/ (My operating system runs on an SSD).

I've also tried changing different GPU environment variables, such as:

__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_YIELD=USLEEP __GL_MaxFramesAllowed=0 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1

About of my settings

My grub have this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia_drm.modeset=1 apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

My nvidia settings in xorg have:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
        Driver     "nvidia"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        BoardName  "GeForce GTX 1050 Ti"
        Option     "ForceCompositionPipeline" "On"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
EndSection

And in modprobe:

options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

60-nvidia.rules.txt
nvidia.conf.txt

The game is optimized, and all graphics settings are set to the minimum.

What should i try guys? Thank u very much!

I don't know why I commented on the closed issue instead of this, but I'll say the same thing here. The problem seems to go away if you select DirectX 12 in the graphics settings of the game. However, the option appears to be limited to certain newer types of GPUs. It's available on the Steam Deck, but not for my desktop's GTX 1070.

I would much prefer to play on my desktop PC, so I hope a workaround or fix can be found.

[lboklin]

I learned that you can force dx12 by adding a file called ExtraVars.unityargs in the game's data directory with the content "-force-d3d11". The launcher may try to remove the file before the game is launched (it didn't for me, but this source claims it does), in which case I suppose you could just remove write permission. Here's how you can do it quickly:

$ cd '<path>/NARAKA BLADEPOINT/'
$ echo "-force-d3d12" > ./ExtraVars.unityargs

This fixes the problem of disfigured characters!

[lboklin]

The problem seems to have been resolved in the latest update of the game! Characters look normal now with DX11.
