Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Blades of Time
  • Steam AppID of the game: 208670

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.

NO LOG is generated. Even running directly from the command line generates none.

Symptoms

Upon clicking "Play", the grey window pops up stating "Preparing to Launch Blades of Time". This disappears, and nothing else happens.

If I change to Proton 3.16-4 then the game launches successfully.

Reproduction

Consistently. Restarting Steam makes no difference.

Closing due to poor quality. If you fill out the template, give me a ping and I can re-open.

I ran "steam" from the command line, and the attached log was produced.

Hello @louisvd, please go to Steam -> Library dropdown -> Tools and install Proton 4.2 from the list. (Making this a duplicate of #2459)

Thank you ... I thought it installed the needed Proton files automatically. It launches now.
