Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

When I try to open Deep Rock it loads a little bit but then will freeze. I can still hear audio but the video will freeze.
The last thing it prints right before freezing is this error message, which I believe is the issue.

(wine:378477): GStreamer-Video-CRITICAL **: 11:14:16.716: gst_video_info_from_caps: assertion 'gst_caps_is_fixed (caps)' failed

I tried installing anything that might be a dependency here, for GStreamer, but nothing seemed to help.
I know for a fact it's not an issue of performance, I've ran the game before on a different system on the same machine.
I have a NVidia GTX 1660 TI, I've installed the correct graphics drivers: nvidia-open, nvidia-utils, and lib32-nvidia-utils.
Everything printed in terminal between starting the game and stopping it through steam. There may be something useful in here that I missed?

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Hi!

I have the same issue after a system upgrade today. I have testet a few games so far.
Deep Rock Galactic behaves as you describe.
Some Games only show a black screen then hang.
Civ IV actually manages to show the intro video, but freezes at a seemingly random point.

I tried different Proton versions 8.x, 9.0, and GE-9.4, GE-9.13. Does not seem to make a difference.
I also tried with and without steam overlay.

The ld.so error can be ignored afaik.

I have an ATI 7700 XT, so I would says this is not a problem with nvidia.

Did you update your system recently, and did this introduce that behaviour?

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

I updated my system yesterday before I had the issue, but I also didn't start installing any games on this system or trying to play anything until after the update, so I don't know for sure if the update is the cause. I'll look into if the system keeps logs on what is updated, perhaps we can single out the package that caused the issue?

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

The system journal doesn't have any information I can find so I'm beat

I am pretty sure I played something before the upgrade.

I'll try downgrading some likely candidates and try to play a game.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Okay, I seem to have it nailed down ;-)

I noticed that one game starts when using wine from cmd line. Since that game lacks drm it runs without steam....and it worked.
So I cleared all steam caches (under settings->download), deactivated the shader caches and manually deleted all existing shader caches (steamapps/shadercaches).

Then I got all my games working again. Though I am not sure which of the steps was the solution.

Can you verify?

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Alright. I cleared those caches as you said and the issue persists. What packages did you downgrade specifically?

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

I downgraded shaderc, glslang & lib32-wayland, but that did nothing, still the same behaviour.

Then I tried Civ4 without steam, just using wine.
After that, I upgraded the packages again.

Then I suspected steam and did clear all caches as mentioned, and then it worked after I restarted steam.

Well crap. The issue persists.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Hello,
I tried troubleshooting with a different community and we came out empty, after that I didn't have time to talk about it here.

It's not an issue with system packages, it broke with the new steam client update at a time when I didn't update arch for the past 2~3 weeks. I tried to update afterwards assuming it could be a compatibility problem, but no luck. I can't launch any game that requires proton.
I also have the overlay error message, even though it's supposed to be disabled.

So far I tried switching between steam-native and runtime, opting out of the client beta, and using different versions of Proton :
8.0-5 doesn't launch any game window.
9.0-2 and experimental will launch a window with the game's title splashscreen, sometimes with the music (out of 5 games, only one manages to do it), and freeze.

At one point I tried playing around with disabling steam cloud, which unfroze the game for 5 seconds before freezing again, but I can't even reproduce that anymore.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

I found what may be a fix or may be a workaround. I uninstalled all my nvidia drivers and replaced them with the open source nouveau drivers. It seems to have eliminated the problem. That doesn't really help if you're not using an nvidia GPU, but it seems to have worked for me.

I tried that just now, not working.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Does it work if you disable steams vulkan shader cache in the options? Inconsistency here can often lead to trouble.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

It was already disabled, I tried re-enabling / play / re-disabling it just to see but still no luck.

Just now I found out Touhou 19 seems to use windows dialog boxes before initializing DirectX, to ask for the game resolution / borderless. It still freezes in the dialog box. I really doubt anything related to graphics is the issue here.

Re: Deep Rock Galactic freezes running under proton.

Alright so ...
I tried using the following game launch command : strace -o /home/bkf/debug-strace -f %command%

I noticed the game was trying to do the following in an infinite loop :

227510 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/bkf/.local/share/icons/AdwaitaLegacy/cursors/00000000000000000000000000000000", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
227510 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/bkf/.local/share/icons/AdwaitaLegacy/index.theme", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
227510 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/bkf/.icons/AdwaitaLegacy/cursors/00000000000000000000000000000000", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
227510 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/bkf/.icons/AdwaitaLegacy/index.theme", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

227510 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/run/host/share/icons/AdwaitaLegacy/index.theme", O_RDONLY) = 33
227510 statx(33, "", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH, STATX_BASIC_STATS, {stx_mask=STATX_BASIC_STATS|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFREG|0644, stx_size=4053, ...}) = 0
227510 read(33, "[Icon Theme]\nName=AdwaitaLegacy\n"..., 4096) = 4053
227510 close(33)                        = 0

I fiddled around with my adwaita / gtk3 packages, did a full upgrade again, and now I can launch Proton games without freezing.
