      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

        @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)"

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

              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.

                  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.

                      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 😞

                          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

                            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.

                              OK there seems to be some confusion. Here's where I stand.

                              • Actual gameplay is stable for me with both 5.0 and 5.13.
                              • Replays almost always crash with 5.0 but never with 5.13.

                              @foodlfg said in Linux Support:

                              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

                              This is not correct in my experience. Before 5.13 I never had to have Steam running to play FAF. What has changed with 5.13 is that Steam generates a slightly different run file. With 5.0 and earlier the last line of the file ended with:

                              bin/wine" "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"

                              but with 5.13 it became

                              bin/wine" steam.exe "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"

                              So instead of executing SupremeCommander.exe directly with wine, 5.13 instead calls steam.exe which in turn launches the game. That's why 5.13 doesn't work if Steam isn't running. Still, as I've said, you can fix this very easily by removing steam.exe from that line and everything will work correctly.

                              @foodlfg said in Linux Support:

                              the game is not 100% stable with Wine / Proton.
                              we dont know why.

                              Again, not in my experience. I've had zero stability issues with Proton 3.16 and 5.13. The only problematic ones for me were 4.11 (caused desyncs) and 5.0 (caused replay crashes).

                              @tatsu said in Linux Support:

                              I just switched to D9VK

                              how'd you do that?

                              With Proton 5.0 and above Proton defaults to D9VK instead of Wine D3D9 so you don't have to do anything special. If DXVK_HUD=1 shows you the DXVK hud in game then you are using D9VK. Of course, you can try to force enable D9VK with PROTON_USE_D9VK=1

                                  i have a Proton 4.11 run file from june and it already had steam.exe in it.
                                  bin/wine" steam.exe "${@:-${DEF_CMD[@]}}"

                                  so this is not Proton version dependent.
                                  more like Steam version, but even that is unlikely.

                                  and my problem is not "steam is not running" with Proton 5.13.

                                    Looks like my setup broke. Everytime I try to join a game I'm stuck with the FA mouse cursor and a black screen. Pinning Proton to 5.0-10 did not help. And I can't tab out of the black fullscreen window... Any advice?

                                      If you start it from the terminal do you see any error messages?

                                      Also, if you recently installed any updates make sure to reboot as kernel/driver changes can cause problems until a reboot.

                                        @Brutus5000 you could delete .faforever and .com.faforever.client.FafClientApplication in home see if it's not the conf file that's messed up.

                                        if that doesn't do it. regenerate the run file (remove steam.exe like calcifer did)

                                        if that doesn't do it redo your whole FA install.

                                        this is quite weird TBH. never had this. what change happened on your setup before it started failing?
