Proton 5.13-1

General system Gaming
#1

After a little amount of time away from Linux gaming I decided to fire up some games that are now compatible with proton 5.13-1.

Unfortunately, when I try to start a game with that version of proton it immediately crashes/exits. It doesn’t seem to matter which game it is.

I tried both steam-runtime and steam-native and the behavior appears to be the same.

Other versions of proton seem to work fine.

Since it has been a long time since I set configured this install I don’t really remember everything I did but here is some general system info:

steam
steam-native-runtime

Maybe I am missing some required packages? Any idea how I can troubleshoot this further?

I don’t see the AMD Ucode.

#3

The only packages I install are steam not runtime not native just steam. Amdvlk because vulkan Radeon has some issues with proton / glorious egg roll. And lib 32 that the steam install prompts you to. Then I install game mode.

#4

I tried removing steam-native but it didn’t seem to make any difference. The same for installing gamemode and lib32-gamemode

Is Proton 5.13-1 working for you?

Which games? If i have them I can try them.

#9

:wink:

@dalto
hmm…

#10

I tried AC IV, Torchlight and Magic 2014 but I suspect if I tried others it would be the same.

#11

Yeah that’s weird, can you try latest GloriousEggroll?
Just to exclude Proton itself, if it doesn’t work too…Or confirm it doesn’t work :slight_smile:

#12

I will try gloriouseggroll(once I lookup how to do that).

However, all other versions of proton seem to work fine.

#13

It’s very easy, check my guide here:

Specifically Install custom Proton engine bullet from that link
With GE or TKG you at least will be able to play your latest games i think

However, all other versions of proton seem to work fine.

Oh, well that probably mean that it’s specific version of Proton is crapped :frowning:
I mean it’s extremely weird that there are no log at all

#14

btw i assume you’re up to date, but just in case:

gcc --version
#15

GE works, but AC IV doesn’t finish launching which is something that was supposed to be fixed in 5.13-1.

Is this Manjaro Stable?
I think it should be ahead on Arch and latest Proton depends on more recent version, that must be a reason…

Oh, then try TKG :frog: , it’s 5.19 should be fixing it (i think):

No…Arch.

That’s what mine shows.

Weird, i have the same…Sorry maybe i’ve mixed something, trying to find where i’ve read about it yesterday

#20

Not what i was initially referencing, but here’s some stuff that i found (let’s dive in :laughing: ):

which leads to this

Looks like this Proton release is not very well made…

That’s so weird though, a lot of people got it working on Arch with both Nvidia / AMD, for example here it’s evident:

What are we doing wrong?! :thinking:
