I confirm:

• that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Game launches and runs for approximately 90–120 seconds, then crashes.

Primary failure sequence:

1. Multiple D3D12 compute pipeline creation failures:
   err:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_device_validate_shader_meta: Required WaveSize range [64, 64], but supported range is [32, 32].
   warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_pipeline_state_init_compute: Failed to create Vulkan compute pipeline, hr 0x80070057
   LogD3D12RHI: Error: Failed to create pipeline state with combined hash ..., error 80070057
   text2. Shortly afterwards the device is lost:
   err:vkd3d-proton:vkd3d_wait_for_gpu_timeline_semaphore: Failed to wait for Vulkan timeline semaphore, vr -4.
   warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_device_mark_as_removed: Device ... is lost (reason 0x887a0005, "VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST")
   text3. Cascade of access violations (Exception 0xc0000005) → process exits.

Additional recurring issue (caught by exception handler, not immediately fatal):

• EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xc000001d) every ~20 seconds in
  MistfallHunter\Binaries\Win64\GSDK_I18N\Steam\gp.dll

Game is Unreal Engine 5, forced to D3D12 (SM6), uses EOS.

This is the probably WaveSize 64 vs 32 mismatch that has been seen in several other UE5 titles on recent NVIDIA drivers + vkd3d-proton.

Reproduction

1. Clean CachyOS install + NVIDIA 610.43.03
2. Proton Experimental bleeding-edge (2026-08-01 build)
3. Launch with PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
4. Reach main menu / start a session
5. Wait ~1.5–2 minutes → hard crash

Might be related UE5 titles on NVIDIA:

• Final Fantasy XVI freeze and performance issues  HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton#2282 (FFXVI)
• STALKER 2 crash with descriptor_heap on Nvidia 610 (Xid 31) HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton#3077 (STALKER 2 on 610 drivers)

Update – DX11 workaround testing
I tested forcing DX11 with the launch option -dx11.

Results
DX11 (-dx11):

Successfully forces LogRHI: Using Forced RHI: D3D11 + DXVK
Avoids the original WaveSize crash
Game runs longer without an immediate hard crash

However, the DX11 path is also unstable:

Log contains ~232 000 access violations (Exception 0xc0000005) all hitting the same location:textlibnvidia-glcore.so.610.43.03 + 0xe44c64
These are continuously generated inside the NVIDIA driver (loaded via pressure-vessel).
The old periodic EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xc000001d) in gp.dll is still present.

So while -dx11 works around the original D3D12/WaveSize issue, it currently triggers a heavy stream of faults inside the NVIDIA 610.43.03 driver instead.
System: RTX 4080 + NVIDIA 610.43.03 + CachyOS (kernel 7.1.5) + Proton Experimental bleeding-edge (2026-08-01).

EDIT:
Dx11 crashes as well, just takes little longer:)
