I tried running The Path through Proton and it does launch and allow me to begin a game but there is a weird flickering where the green terrain will flicker to a reddish purple color every few seconds. The Steam AppID of the game is 27000. I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and received the following log:

steam-27000.log

I have checked whether there are updates for my system available and I am up to date

Retest Report

With D9VK the purple flickering is gone, but other aspects of the graphics are not accurate. Without D9VK the flickering remains.

20190803175416_1
Without D9VK - Background fading is flickering purple

20190803175918_1
With D9VK - Background fades to black, but it should fade to the same colour as the background sky.

For reference this is how the game looks on Windows

20190803180434_1
Without D9VK - The main menu looks correct.

20190803180257_1
With D9VK - Notice the facial details, the eyes of the character Robin are missing pupils.

With D9VK - Main screen looks correct, the eyes are rendered correctly on Robin

20190827210208_1
With D9VK - The background fading is now more accurate, but still flickers purple as without D9VK.

I could not spot any graphical difference between ACO and LLVM, and with D9VK and without.

Possible new issue(?) When controller is connected the controls keep pushing to the left all the time. I'm not sure if I properly tested controller support before (Nintendo Switch Pro Controller over bluetooth).

Retest Compatibility Report

There appears to be a regression with Proton 5.0,

Proton 4.2-9 and 4.11-13: Game works but with the same graphical issue as previously reported

Proton 5.0-9 and 5.0-10-rc4: Game launches a window that is just black and nothing happens

I tried also Proton 5.0-9 with older DXVK 1.5.1, but it made no difference

Hello @AwesamLinux, does setting the game's launch options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% and running it with Proton 5.0 have an effect?

AAwesamLinux 2020-10-04 github

@kisak-valve There was no difference with the "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" launch option. Game just launches to a black window and nothing happens.

Tried out the demo on my oled deck with Proton Experimental. I still notice the red and purple flashing in the background playing after a bit (haven't checked for any other visual disparities compared to windows)

Swapping to wined3d didn't fix it, but instead introduced a new issue that broke the main characters animation.
