Symptoms

  • All of the audio is fine except for the voices - they are all very low quality.
  • There is no intro video and no background videos in main menu.

Reproduction

Just boot up the game, load into singleplayer.

Notes

This issue with audio is also present on Windows. I know this game is from 2009, but I don't think that such low res voice lines were intentional. This issue on linux can be fixed by running this version of proton.

Btw, there's also this issue #1831 but I didn't come across that.

Games runs fine on my end with Proton 8.0-2 and Experimental (2023/05/31). The only issue I come across is that if you enable vsync externally (through DXVK or another layer) or limit its frame rate, the intro video audio stutters (in game there is no vsync or frame limit option). I'm attaching the log file:

I've found out a regression with Proton 9.0 (Beta-11). The game crashes on launch. The funny fact is that if you enable the logs with PROTON_LOG=1 it doesn't. Perhaps a race condition ?

Hello @ranplayer, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put them in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Rranplayer 2024-02-25 github

Hi @kisak-valve I'm attaching both here as a tar file. Thank you for the quick response.

@ranplayer the game should now work in proton experimental bleeding edge

Bbtd1337 2024-03-17 github

Black screen in game startup: The game doesn't launch properly on any Proton version (even the Proton GE)

PS: CoJ 1 and 3 works fine...

OS: Garuda Linux
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX350

Ssimifor 2024-03-18 github

@btd1337 I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Proton stable and proton experimental bleeding-edge were both tested and they started fine. I'd recommend verifying game files, and deleting the game's prefix if that doesn't work. If the problem persists then attach the log generated by adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to launch parameters, it'll be in your home folder as steam-21980.log

@simifor the error persists
