Hey there! I’ve recently switched from Manjaro to EndeavourOS. Previously I used versions of Ubuntu, and up until now the game had a fairly good performance. I had to adjust some in-game settings for a smoother experience but overall nothing game breaking. Now that I installed EOS, however, I cannot seem to get the game to run at all. I haven’t changed any of my hardware. Is anyone currently playing the game? Have you had any issues? The game _ **does** _ start, and runs completely fine for about a minute, and then suddenly crashes and opens up the hardware failure site ([https://www.warframe.com/hardwarefail](https://www.warframe.com/hardwarefail)) in the browser. I cannot connect the crash to anything specific, it doesn’t seem to matter what I do in-game, after about a minute, it just closes, regardless of anything. There are no obvious signs before the crash, the game runs just fine, good fps, no lags, nothing out of the ordinary, really. I tried looking at ProtonDB to see what others may have, I even tried matching similar builds, tried different Proton or Proton-GE versions, even downloaded older ones but the issue is still exactly the same. With every launch command or proton version, the game crashes. On Manjaro, I could simply install the Steam version and run the game with stock Valve Proton, no other modifications were necessary. I tried other games to see if it could _truly_ be a hardware issue — I regularly play Dota 2 with no issues whatsoever, but from the Proton ones I tried [Layers of Fear](https://store.steampowered.com/app/391720/Layers_of_Fear_2016/) and [Tomb Raider](https://store.steampowered.com/app/203160/Tomb_Raider/) and they both ran smoothly with no problems whatsoever. The former ran with zero changes, with Tomb Raider I only changed the Proton version but otherwise that was perfect too. (And, again, even Warframe runs smoothly up until the minute mark.) What could I be missing here? Raiding old forum posts about this specific crash yielded very old posts that were no use to me unfortunately. > **Specs** > > NVIDIA GTX 1050 (525.85.05 driver — installed by `nvidia-inst`) > Intel i5 7400 > 8 GB RAM ---

DirectX 11 or DirectX 12? ~~Tried with proton-ge?~~ Sorry, haven’t noticed at first. Make sure to read [Requirements section](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/linux-gaming-guide/7339) Also i think you need to read some logs after crash to know more… ---

I read though the Requirements section and I seem to have everything I need. It uses Direct X 11 and the launcher doesn’t even allow me to change it. As for logs, Warframe provides the EE.log, I made a [gist](https://gist.github.com/u00101010/dd0f431a4472c22ef19c95517e5e15fe). At the end it says “GPF”, could it be [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_protection_fault)? If so, does that help me? 🤔 ---

Yeah that’s definitely it…Not sure what to do with it yet. Quick search show you’re not alone in that GPF problem on that game, looks like it’s not Linux only issue ---

I installed the components with **`protontricks`** , but that didn’t help me out unfortunately. I kept getting the same crash. However, I _did_ manage to fix the issue in a different way. For documentation purposes, I’m going to leave my solution here in case someone might need it in the future. I researched several different Linux-related crash cases and found out that usually the “device” errors are either caused by sound or “phantom joystick/controller” issues. Here’s a list of everything I did, it’s possible that only one or some of these might be sufficient for you so I recommend trying them out one-by-one. - Add the following to the Steam library → Warframe options → Launch commands: `gamemoderun WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command%` (This requires ` **gamemode** ` to be installed.) - Install a dummy controller (as I do not own a physical one) following [this method](https://github.com/BeholdenCypress/WarframeDummyController/blob/master/DummyController.md)\* - In the in-game **Video** settings I’ve set Vsync and everything that was set to “`Auto`” by default to “`Off`”. _(It’s greatly possible that disabling Vsync alone is enough as that’s the recommendation in the majority of forum posts.)_ With this, the crash no longer seems to happen and I managed to test the game for over an hour with no great issues. Sometimes certain visual effects might lag the game for a bit, so I’m going to keep adjusting the **Video** settings to see what sticks, but that’s probably a personal problem. Either way, the crash itself is fixed, and if someone finds this in the future, I hope it helps them out. \*Edit: Here’s the content of the page in case it gets archived or deleted: > **Dummy Controller method** > > # Thanks to xarvh for making this possible > > Makesure you have **xboxdrv** loaded as a service > > to accomplish this, make sure you already have xboxdrv installed, **sudo apt install xboxdrv** if you do not > > with that installed, you want to use the following command “**curl -O [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/xarvh/6abfbd176a48e21886813e98480e9dc5/raw/96642aeea1a1f59d9f59cff5b6ecbb20362fdfd3/xboxdrv.service](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/xarvh/6abfbd176a48e21886813e98480e9dc5/raw/96642aeea1a1f59d9f59cff5b6ecbb20362fdfd3/xboxdrv.service)**” (Make sure you have curl installed, I think it comes preinstalled) > > then type **sudo mv xboxdrv.service /etc/systemd/system** > > after that, **sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv** > > Then start it manually the first time, **sudo systemctl start xboxdrv** > > Follow this guide and xboxdrv will be loaded as a service and Warframe will stop crashing because of not detecting a controller > > > **gist contents (in case that doesn't work either)** > > > > ```auto > > [Unit] > > Description=xboxdrv daemon > > > > [Service] > > ExecStart=/usr/bin/xboxdrv --daemon --quiet --dbus disabled > > Type=simple > > > > [Install] > > WantedBy=multi-user.target > > > > ``` ---
