Whitelist Request

  • Name of the game to be whitelisted: King's Bounty: Dark Side
  • Steam AppID of the game: 289520

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that pressing the Play button in the Steam client is sufficient.
  • [ ] that runtime config options are necessary to run the game.
  • [ ] that no workarounds other than PROTON_* env variables are necessary.

Issues

  • [x] I haven't experienced any issues.
  • [ ] There are no issues left open for this game.
  • [ ] Although I consider the gaming experience equal to Windows there are remaining issues:

The game starts fullscreen with resolution lower than my 1920x1080, I had to set it manually. After that, the game window was distorted (wrongly scaled). Restarting the game everything looked perfect.
Some game fonts aren't smoothed (no antialiasing).

That said the game worked perfectly in every aspect, with great FPS at high detail. I played for 5 hours without issues of any sort, it seemed a native game.

Hello @BesMurzik, please opt into Steam's beta client and/or go to Steam -> Library dropdown -> Tools and install Proton 3.16 (beta) from the list.

If that does not change the game's behavior, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report. Also, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

Thanks for the hint! After installing both 3.16 and 3.16 (beta) from Tools game was able to start using both 3.16-4 and 3.16-8 Beta, but with 3.16-8 Beta it runs very slow (about 1 fps).

Tested the game again with Proton 3.16-8 Beta, I found no differences: works like a charm as reported early. Only difference is Mesa upgraded to 18.3.4.
