Crashes on launch with an error box that says failed to read default.cfg.

Same issue here on Arch Linux: ErrorLog_08-22-2018__01-36-11pm.txt

This didn't happen when I was running Steam through Wine.

Problem is introduced with Steam native. use Stream runtime and it works.

Got the same problem on Antergos but then I got it to work by using Steam runtime instead of native and adding +r_renderAPI 1 to the launch options.

Ddrohm 2018-08-22 github

Mine started working after I turned 'Linux Steam Integration" (LSI) off. I then had to set the +r_renderAPI 1 as a launch option.

steam-runtime fixes it weirdly enough

issue is closed ?
I still have it, I tried a lot of config and still "Failed to read default.cfg".
I tied: native / runtime and the 2 availables PROTON version.

Do you think it can be related to my MESA 19-dev build ? It work with other game and this error seams not to be related with mesa...

Hello @cclecle, this issue is currently open as indicated directly below the title at the top of the issue report.

Ccclecle 2018-11-09 github

Hello kisak, sorry I misread the tag..

So I did some more investigations. Apparently it is related to mesa 18.3 OR the way I link mesa 18.3.
MESA 18.3 + GLX 18.3(radeon_si) => ERROR default.cfg
MESA 18.3 + VULKAN (RADV 18.3) => ERROR default.cfg
MESA 18.1.9 (the native one in my debian) + VULKAN (RADV 18.3) => Launch and Run OK
MESA 18.1.9 + VULKAN (RADV 18.1.9) => KO, but it is a known issue
MESA 18.1.9 + VULKAN (AMDVLK 18.40) => Launch and Run but freeze a few seconds after

So th e default.cfg is linked to MESA 18.3 usage, even if it is not really used (VULKAN rendering case).

Does this issue still occur on latest drivers/proton?

Sslokhorst 2019-07-17 github

It seems to work fine now with "Proton 3.16-9 selected by Valve testing".

By the way, even though I started Steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=0, it's giving a bunch of messages about STEAM_RUNTIME_HEAVY. Not sure if that's related.
