Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Blood Bowl 2
  • Steam AppID of the game: 236690

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

After starting the game and then quitting as soon as the main menu appeared, the steam-236690.log file was 246MB and so github won't allow me to upload it!

This is a log file created by interrupting the game as soon as the first "Viewport hasn't been setted" errors were written to the log:

steam-236690.log

Symptoms

The game writes the line "Viewport hasn't been setted" to the file ~/.xsession-errors thousands of times per minute. Over the space of a few days it logged that line 3.8 billion times, and filled my home partition (which previously had 100gb free).

Reproduction

In a terminal run tail -f ~/.xsession-errors | grep setted and then start the game. Watch the logs fly by ...

Hello @jwakely, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1978#issuecomment-476367893.

OK, sorry for the new report. As that one was tagged "Mesa drivers" I thought it might be best to keep it separate. I'll follow that one for updates.
