@jip - Ack, glad to hear (and thanks for the response).

Please let me know if you require any further info, I'll try to keep an eye on this page.

Hey,

Do excuse me if format/post location is not quite right.

I've just finished a pretty annoying debug session and thought I'd share, in case this helps anyone.

I've just done a clean installation of FA itself from Steam and installed FAF via the Linux script.

Installation went smoothly and FAF client launched correctly (albeit with a few graphical oddities).

Relevant libraries are present and updated to several months ago.

Upon attempting to start a CO-OP (alone, for testing purposes), I've encountered a crash-to-desktop due to access violation (surprisingly, not due to a null-dereference)

Starting directly via steam (With launch flags PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%) worked as expected.

After some digging, I've narrowed the issue down as relating to the 'sounds' directory.
The was no sound specific error in the log, just a stacktrace (Is there anywhere I can get debug symbols from?) and an access violation exception.

After going through the sounds one-by-one, I've narrows the problematic files to:

• UAAWeapon
• XES_Destroy
• XSA_Weapon

After removal (both xsb and xwb), game now launches correctly (though I've yet to actually start a round so may encounter more errors later on)
