I was trying to play Star Control Origins (271260).
The game start correctly, until i try to launch a saved game.
After that the system freeze , i must kill the program.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch the game
  2. Try to launch a saved game

Game starts, intro plays. Clicking "New Game" causes brief flash of "Loading Campaign" after which neither "New Game" nor "Fleet Battles" menu options do anything.

Clicking on "Fleet Battles" goes into blank screen.

Possibly fixed with DXVK 0.81

Hello, I have the exact same problem as described by a-pushkin. Any one got a workaround for this?
I tried updating the game to 1.20, but it is the same.

Ubuntu 18.10
Nvidia GeForce GT 430 driver 390.87

Having the same issue on Proton 3.16-6 with an nVidia 1080 ti and the 415 driver. Nothing happens when clicking New Game, and the game cannot be started.

Sidenote... when I enable PROTON_LOG=1 %command% on this game, it is producing a 352MB log file in just about 30 seconds of having the game open. Not sure how I should add the appropriate logs here.

Issue is unchanged in Proton 3.16-7 Beta.

Works on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / Proton 5.13-4 with some modifications.
First, the following commands need to be executed from shell:

cd ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Star Control - Origins/Game
ln -s ../AdventureStudio/
ln -s ../Assets/
ln -s . Game

Next, right click on the game within the Steam library, open properties and set the following launch options:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% /nolauncher
