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

foodlfg

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:

wineserver: using server-side synchronization.
Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

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:

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

@Whatsisname

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)"

vitautart

@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.

tatsu

guys that happens if you close steam.

callcifer

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.

tatsu

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.

callcifer

I'm pretty sure I've had the replay crashes for a while now, long before 455 but I've never tried Proton 5.13, let me test with that.

This is also very weird because with Proton 5.0 and below you never had to have Steam running.

EDIT: This can be fixed by removing "steam.exe" from the last line of your "run" file.

callcifer

OK with Proton 5.13 I have no crashes so far, 40 minutes into a game.

I've also just realized I've been playing with D3D9 all this time! I just switched to D9VK and the game is soo much smoother!

Now, my only remaining issue is all the missing effects but I guess there is no solution to that

how'd you do that?

foodlfg

no, it is not because of that. as i said:

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 ran the two files after each other. one worked the other one does not.
if steam had not been running then the first one would not have worked either.

only 5.09, 4.xx run file generates properly for me.
5.13 does not

foodlfg

@callcifer
it is hard to test for long games but as for me:

Proton 5.09 - 2x long setons games, 2x crashed at 30min
Proton 4.11 - tested today with palying a 1+ hour long setons game. worked fine and it worked back then too.

expect crashes. and test for it.
the game is not 100% stable with Wine / Proton.
we dont know why.
