    Ive followed the procedure in the OP. I put my dxkv.conf in Documents/Ashes/drive_c/Program Files/Intrepid Studios/Launcher/, I added the urlmon library override in legacy wine tools. I can launch the game from steam, but Im getting stuck at an error code 407 followed by error code 31. I'm at a loss for whats even going wrong, or what I need to do to get it fixed. The game crashes to desktop after error 407 and then error 31.

    Additionally, Im getting that popup window about graphics drivers every time I launch.

    If I launch AOCClient through bottles instead of through steam, I instead just get error code 33. I'm not sure why there is a difference.

    Ive managed to resolve most of my issues. In my case, I was running bottles and steam under different users without realizing which is what was causing the errors. I can get into the actual game. However, the performance is so bad it doesnt really even matter. I suspect that it might be because its not getting ahold of my GPU, and no matter what I do I just end up with this popup:

    I can't seem to break ~13 FPS, despite having a 7900xt graphics card. I'm at a complete loss of how to proceed and I'd really appreciate some help.

    Damn, that's not normal. even I with a rx580 card still get around 30 fps. It must be a drivers problem. are you running the latest ones?

    Also, that popup is normal I think. It might be because there is a new driver available that is not supported by your card (probably for 9070)

    Please share also what distro you are using.

    For the distro, I'm using Gentoo

    as for drivers, every other game I've got runs as smooth as butter, both ones running in steam proton and ones running native. This is the only game where I really have framerate issues at all, so I don't think it makes sense for it to be a driver issue given that AoC is an isolated case. Unless theres something missing in bottles, or some setting somewhere that Im unaware of? I've been up and down this thread and can't find a solution.

    I have not yet, I'll go do it as described in the OP and report back when I do. I might not get a chance to do so this evening though, so it may be that the results will have to wait until thursday given the usual downtime tuesday and wednesday.

    I am not sure what changed, but I also have an issue with the game. I'm running the lutris version, played last weekend without an issue. However, today when I tried to run the launcher, it went black. from what I remember, that was an issue with the dxvk config? I do however have the config file set with the `d3d9.shaderModel = 1`. Anyone has any tips on debugging this thing? Thanks

    Did you install a update for the Intrepid Studio Launcher before? If yes, it should be easy fixable.
    What, why ever, happens during the launcher update is, in the registry the compatibility mode for webview gets changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.

    To revert this change, you can open up lutris, select the Ashes of Creation entry and then click in the bottom bar the arrow up, right of the wine glass. There you can open the registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\msedgewebview2.exe. Here you should find a entry named 'Version', which now most likely shows 'win81'. Simply change this to 'win7' and restart your PC. Then everything should be okay again.

    I hope that helps you.

    I ended up reinstalling the game but for sure I will keep this in mind if it will happen again. Reinstalling the game is quite time consuming. Thank!

    When i had this problem under wayland, enabling a virtual desktop under graphics tab in winecfg fixed the whole black screen thing.
