Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Slab
  • Steam AppID of the game: 844180

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Unless the game is launched with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1, it crashes at startup with the following "Failed to initialize graphics" error:
slab_error
Log: steam-844180.log

When launched with the WineD3D env var the game seems to function normally for the most part. The game exhibits a noticable amount of mouse input lag, however, it doesn't make the game unplayable.

After changing the resolution from 720p to 1080p and then back again to see if that would affect the input lag, I found the resolution selection dropdown menu to be unresponsive and require clicking around multiple times for it to open the menu and also to select the desired resolution.
I played 4 levels and the game crashed, displaying the following error:
slab_crash
Log of the play session that crashed: steam-844180.log

I also ran the game with PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 but this didn't reduce the input lag. I didn't play long enough to see whether the game would crash again, so it's difficult to say whether this affected stability.

In a quick test I observed this same behavior on a older laptop with integrated Intel graphics, with the exception of the in-game crash. Laptop specs: https://gist.github.com/veikk0/cb39ea5b6ec13e073ff5897aa53d1ffe

Reproduction

Play the game with and without PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1.
