Hi
Previous problem here - Solved -

I recently bought, on steam, I fear this was a big mistake, the game crashes consistently.
ForzaH4

I found the gaming guide in the root off gaming. I have followed some step’s from it.

ProtonDB

I have tried also with protonGE, in game properties.

I also tried to create a log for diagnosis : That failed I cant find the log its-self.
Log
According to the Guide that creates a log file, but its nowhere to be seen, even with
hidden files turned on. If I could locate it, we may have been able to analyze it!

Any and all help gratefully received.

  • You want to create log file to check if everything fine or file a bug, use Environment variable:

    PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

    Log will be saved at location, where [appid] is your game id (look up steamdb if in doubt)

    ~/steam-[appid].log

Obviously for it to work you should launch game :upside_down_face:

Which version?
Try exact version from good report (7.17)

Duh you dont say. I added the EV-variable, closed steam, started steam, launched game,
played till it froze as usual, killed it, and looked for the log.

Try Proton 6.3.8

Perhaps it would be little better, but that game have a lot of problems

Are you running plasma on Wayland or X11?

Hi
X11 I assume, I don’t actually know!! what ever EOS uses by default.
IAm on plasma yes.

if its wayland games tend to crash a bit more on plasmas wayland session. If its X11 then i would try proton experimental. Forza seems to have had an update recently causing a lot of crashing on linux.

This will tell:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

X11

Hi

I been trying things I came across a youtube video about FH5 which talked
about antivirus settings … blah blah.
The only thing I could think off was the Firewall app/gui
Firewall damon

I loaded that and set “connection 1” to trusted.
I ran up FH4 and it was like “I had found the answer”
I almost completed the first realy long race, then it froze.

I cant recreate this how ever its now freezing again.

Any advice on setting it up? Was I just lucky?
