    Bioshock 2 Multiplayer crashes joining a match only the Arcadia map, not the others, via Proton Experimental.

    I cleaned, deleted files & folders in my single Proton prefix, it works on it! I know not the right file(s) to delete... For my multiplayer progression, I replaced /run/media/a/8688e754-c2e4-40d1-a9c8-c205211ca8d9/pfx/dr...

    @jebez1 because it's working on my end and failure to launch can be an issue with microsoft partition formats (like ntfs) which people tend to use for secondary partitions/devices

    Obviously yes, why that idea? https://steamcommunity.com/app/8850/discussions/0/816973559978073043/ still no answer, as usual few people play on Linux...

    @jebez1 if you install the game on your main drive rather than an external partition, does it still fail to launch?

    Proton Experimental. New issue: since maybe the 11/1/2026, BioShock 2 launches not anymore, the only of all my Window$ games. PROTON_LOG=1 [steam-8850.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24667480/steam-8850.lo...

    Both Stable & Experimental: same issue. I found a solution: System Settings Sound Mute steam: Capture Stream
