[HELP (Not Launching/ Crashing)] NVIDIA/RTX 4090: X_GLXCreateContext BadValue on launch; workaround with DXVK + NVIDIA Vulkan + WebView2 GPU disabled

[alinossier]

Checklist

• I have given details of my install including Distribution, Wayland/ XOrg, Parameters Used, echo $XAUTHORITY, etc.
• I have provided logs showing any errors, if available (use VERBOSITY=3 ZWIFT_FG=1 zwift)
• I have filled out the issue template to the best of my ability.
• This issue only contains 1 issue (if you have multiple issues, open one issue for each issue).
• This issue is not a duplicate issue of previous issue.

Describe the issue

Summary

Zwift recently stopped launching for me in netbrain/zwift:latest on Ubuntu/X11 with an NVIDIA RTX 4090. The initial failure was:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)

After debugging, the working workaround was:

1. Use NVIDIA runtime / NVIDIA Vulkan, not WineD3D/OpenGL.
2. Install DXVK into the Wine prefix.
3. Make sure the non-root user inside the container can access /dev/nvidia*.
4. Disable WebView2 GPU acceleration.
5. Start ZwiftApp.exe via runfromprocess-rs after ZwiftLauncher.exe is alive.

Workaround

Install DXVK into the Wine prefix:

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v2.6.2/dxvk-2.6.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf dxvk-2.6.2.tar.gz

cp -v /tmp/dxvk-2.6.2/x64/d3d9.dll  /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/d3d9.dll
cp -v /tmp/dxvk-2.6.2/x64/dxgi.dll  /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/dxgi.dll
cp -v /tmp/dxvk-2.6.2/x64/d3d11.dll /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/d3d11.dll
cp -v /tmp/dxvk-2.6.2/x64/d3d10core.dll /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/d3d10core.dll

Run with these environment variables:

NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090"
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi,d3d11,d3d10core,d3d9=n,b"
WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS="--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --disable-accelerated-video-decode --disable-features=Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE,UseOzonePlatform --use-gl=swiftshader --no-sandbox"

Also ensure the container user has access to /dev/nvidia*. For debugging I used:

chmod a+rw /dev/nvidia* /dev/nvidia-caps/* 2>/dev/null || true

After that, DXVK correctly reported:

DXVK: v2.6.2
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
Driver: NVIDIA 580.142.0

Then I could start the app with:

wine start ZwiftLauncher.exe SilentLaunch

LAUNCHER_PID_HEX=$(winedbg --command 'info proc' | awk '/ZwiftLauncher.exe/ {print $1; exit}')
LAUNCHER_PID=$((16#$LAUNCHER_PID_HEX))

wine start /exec /bin/runfromprocess-rs.exe "$LAUNCHER_PID" ZwiftApp.exe

Reproduction steps

1. Run VERBOSITY=3 ZWIFT_FG=1 zwift

[netbrain]

Great stuff on the workaround, maybe we should have this pre-installed in the container image, and have some logic that can gate keep this route.

But the question still remains, what caused the breakage? Do you know which commit made the zwift setup fail for you?

[alinossier]

I am still scratching my head trying to figure out what broke my install. I went as far as pulling down the oldest tag I could find netbrain/zwift:1.89.0 and I am experiencing this issue on that version as well. That leads me to believe some host-side changes may have caused it although from what I remember I started experiencing the crash immediately after a new version was pulled down.

Do older tags contain old Zwift binaries, or do they update to the current Zwift launcher/app at runtime? Could a newer Zwift binary have caused the crash?

For posterity, this is the Dockerfile that is currently working for me:

FROM netbrain/zwift:latest

USER root

    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends wget ca-certificates tar && \
    cd /tmp && \
    wget -O dxvk.tar.gz "https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v${DXVK_VERSION}/dxvk-${DXVK_VERSION}.tar.gz" &>
    tar -xzf dxvk.tar.gz && \
    cp -v "/tmp/dxvk-${DXVK_VERSION}/x64/d3d9.dll"  "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/d3d9.dll" && \
    cp -v "/tmp/dxvk-${DXVK_VERSION}/x64/dxgi.dll"  "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/dxgi.dll" && \

Do older tags contain old Zwift binaries, or do they update to the current Zwift launcher/app at runtime? Could a newer Zwift binary have caused the crash?

I'm sorry for the late reply.

The older tags do indeed contain old Zwift binaries. Did you also try setting the zwift script version to an older version? https://netbrain.github.io/zwift/configuration/options/#script_version.
