@Davebowman Game/Client log please.

All I have is a client log: https://pastebin.com/HA0Y5M72

There is an iceadapterlogs folder too, do you want that as well?

@Davebowman
maybe this one?
https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Setting_Up_FAF_Linux#The_FAF_client_doesn.27t_launch_the_game

Steam is installed and active, Forged Alliance is installed as well and it works with Proton stock.

i might have done something wrong or forgot when setting up u can have a look at this video as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv3ZXA4FNFk

This is what I used as a guide. I followed it to the letter (except for uninstalling old client, since I have no old client).

2020-10-01 13:02:11.772 INFO 11646 --- [pool-3-thread-5] com.faforever.client.game.GameService : Forged Alliance terminated with exit code 2

@Davebowman The client starts the exe without wine /home/bowman/.faforever/bin/ForgedAlliance.exe
You must have missed the steps:

1. Make steam build a script
2. Copy that script from temp folder to a save location.
3. Enter that script under executable format in the client settings.

I am not sure if the steps are missing in the video but if so the video would be incomplete.

Read "Copy the Steam RUN script" in the wiki article!

I did miss that step, but have changed that and now I am able to join and create games. I tested in a 1v1 and was able to play through the entire game. Thanks for the help.

Proton 5.13-1 is out!
Test pls!

testing.

works brilliant for me. I got way faster game ForgedAlliance.exe boot-up time. nothing else to remark on.

really?
because the generated run file for 5.13 is different for me than for 5.09 (i regenerated 5.09 as well, it is not old).

if i just run the run 5.09 file from terminal the original game launches.
if i run the 5.13 file nothing happens. it is working with launching from Steam, but not from terminal or from the client.

i get this in terminal:

make sure steam is running.

i dunno what to say works utterly brilliant for me.

hehe funneh!
just support monopolistic giga corporations with you everyday life decisions.
that are cannot be controlled by society at all. in fact, people are exposed to their decisions. they directly associate with corruption. it makes sense.

how does your Proton 5.13 run file look like?
this is mine. the PATH variable is noticeably shorter in it:
https://gist.github.com/foodlfg/d104c6d42e14d6929a0e8626c8edaeb6#file-supcom-proton513-run-file

I was hoping for some fix for the missing effects but alas it's still the same.

@Whatsisname
what is about your Proton 5.13 run file btw?
working fine?

Hi, can't understand what's wrong with my setup. I tried to follow instructions, on first launch it exits with code 1, says that wine can't find freetype2 fonts family, so I install 32 version of it, and error gone.

Now when I try to create game, It does nothings, logs give me exit with code 0. Like this

Proton 5.13

Vanilla FA works fine in steam.

@vitautart
yeh. i have the same problem with Proton 5.13
Steam generates a different run file for Proton 5.13 than for the previous ones.
if you want to track down the issue, i would start there.

meanwhile. use an older Proton version.

btw the wiki is not saying to use Proton 5.13, it is not in the compatible list...
it says "Proton 5.0-9 (recommended)"

@foodlfg
Thanks. Downgraded proton version in steam to 5.0, and all works. Seams like there is some bugs with 5.13 proton run script.

guys that happens if you close steam.

Anyone else getting crashes with replays? Pretty much every replay crashes for me at random times, sometimes 10 minutes in to the replay, sometimes 30.

This is with Proton 5.0 and Nvidia 455.38 drivers.

no. no replay crashes for me.

proton : 5.13-1
nvidia : 450

it's probably the nvidia 455 driver. that sound a bit too hot off the press.
