[Solved] Proton instantly crashing with no proton logs

bobheart · 2023-04-15 02:09:44

Steam no longer runs any proton games and it just instantly crashes without leaving proton logs. I can still run regular native linux games from steam and ones with vulkan explicitly enabled.
I set my steam launch options to PROTON_LOGS=1 %command% and I never got any proton logs so I made a directory for the logs and set them with user_settings.py and ran that specific version of proton but I still no proton logs.

user_settings.py file:

#To enable these settings, name this file "user_settings.py".

#Settings here will take effect for all games run in this Proton version.

user_settings = {
    #By default, logs are saved to $HOME/steam-<STEAM_GAME_ID>.log, overwriting any previous log with that name.
    #Log directory can be overridden with $PROTON_LOG_DIR.
    "PROTON_LOG": "1"
    "PROTON_LOG_DIR": "/home/jman/steamlogs"

    #Wine debug logging
    "WINEDEBUG": "+timestamp,+pid,+seh,+unwind,+debugstr,+loaddll,+mscoree",

    #DXVK debug logging
    "DXVK_LOG_LEVEL": "info",

    #vkd3d debug logging
    "VKD3D_DEBUG": "warn",

    #vkd3d-shader debug logging
    "VKD3D_SHADER_DEBUG": "fixme",

    #wine-mono debug logging (Wine's .NET replacement)
    "WINE_MONO_TRACE": "E:System.NotImplementedException",
    #"MONO_LOG_LEVEL": "info",

    #general purpose media logging
#    "GST_DEBUG": "4",
    #or, verbose converter logging (may impact playback performance):
#    "GST_DEBUG": "4,WINE:7,protonaudioconverter:7,protonaudioconverterbin:7,protonvideoconverter:7",
    "GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR": "1",

    #Enable DXVK's HUD
    "DXVK_HUD": "devinfo,fps",

    #Use OpenGL-based wined3d for d3d11, d3d10, and d3d9 instead of Vulkan-based DXVK
#    "PROTON_USE_WINED3D": "1",

    #Disable d3d11 entirely
#    "PROTON_NO_D3D11": "1",

    #Disable eventfd-based in-process synchronization primitives
#    "PROTON_NO_ESYNC": "1",

    #Disable futex-based in-process synchronization primitives
#    "PROTON_NO_FSYNC": "1",
}

I ran steam in a terminal then launched a game with proton then shut it down here is the output:

Install lib32-vulkan-radeon and remove amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk it implements a bunch of stuff proton requires incorrectly

The as for proton logs the variable is PROTON_LOG=1 (note the missing s)

Thanks very much I did get 2 games to run. My confusion now is I'm not getting log every time but only when using some versions of proton. Is it this just a limitation of proton itself?

No if you configured the user_settings.py as posted you will get the logs from that version

bobheart · 2023-04-15 18:43:44

Yes I ran that user_settings.py on a few different versions of proton (GE-Proton7-55, GE-Proton7-41, GE-Proton7-37) on a bunch of different games but no logs where created in the location I selected (/home/jman/steamlogs).

I hit play on a game and it takes one second to attempt to launch and stop itself. The only time I get logs for proton is when the game somewhat runs. The only versions of proton I can seem to get to work for me is 5.0-10 or older.

Maybe I'm having the same problem as this post: Unable to use a proton version higher than 5.0

Also could be related to this open github issue on proton: No logs at all from Proton #5369

Are the games on a different (potentially NTFS) drive? Tried resetting the proton prefix by removing the corresponding appid folder from ./.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata ? which games exactly, are they expected to work/did you check protondb?

Some games I have are on NTFS others are not they get can run regardless of where it's stored. I did just try delete the compatdata but it all it hasn't seemed to change anything. The game I when though about every game I have nothing seems to work on greater then 5.10. I was looking at protondb trying to match of the version that was most currently working with each game. but titles that are expected to work like Deep Rock Galactic don't work on 7.0-6 and I get no error logs on an version of proton versions 5.13-6 - 7.0-6. Now this isn't a big issue now as I'm finding with the latest version 8.0-1 it is working. The only thing I can think of is the kernel I'm on or kernel parameters maybe an issue.
