Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Call of Duty
  • Steam AppID of the game: 2620

System Information

  • GPU: GTX 960
  • Driver/LLVM version: Nvidia 418
  • Kernel version: 4.18
  • Link to full system information report as Gist:
  • Proton version: 4.2.2

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.

Symptoms

The game will not launch out of the box, but this was a problem with the game itself. An issue with graphic drivers will cause buffer overrun. This is a launch option that fixes this issue. But from there, the problems COD 1 has are nearly identical to playing the game on modern Windows versions. You have to add these launch options:

__GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 %command% +set r_mode -1 +set r_customheight 1080 +set r_customwidth 1920 +set cg_fov 80 +set cg_drawfps 0

After adding these options, game seems fine, though videos will be black, but this is the same thing as on windows.

The only other problem I noticed was that even after this, there seemed to be a slight mouse acceleration issue. Like I was moving the mouse to fast for the game. It's hard to describe, but I don't remember it doing this on Windows (which I dont have dual booted anymore).

I should also note it's expansion United Offensive has basically identical issues. (I will make a separate page for it shortly).

I don't know how Proton intends to handle games that require 'fixes' even on Windows.

Reproduction

Install game, launch. Add launch options given.

Hello @opal1974, PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING=1 %command% is also available as a driver-independent alternative to __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700.

I get really stuttery mouse input in this game when V-Sync is enabled, as shown here: https://gfycat.com/polishedbaggycero

When V-Sync is disabled, the stutter is gone, but the mouse speed is inconsistent. This seems to vary depending on on the FPS limit. It's very noticeable with 200 FPS, but with a 60 FPS limit or unlimited FPS, it's less noticeable or gone.

Also, mouse input sometimes stops working. Occasionally, mouselook stops working for a few seconds (I think this mostly happens after I sprint), and after I've been playing for a while, it stops responding to the mouse buttons. The mouse buttons then start working again if I try to alt-tab, even though there is no other window to switch to.

LOG WITH PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING=1:

Symptoms

Game will crash at launch, unless the "PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING=1" launch option is used. Works great after that.

Symptoms

Doesn't work for me. PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING=1 doesn't help.

System Information

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
  • Driver/LLVM version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 21.0.3
  • Kernel version: 5.12.1-2-MANJARO
  • Link to full system information report: Gist
  • Proton version: 6.3-3

Symptoms

Game requires two launch commands to start:
MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2008 __GL_ExtensionStringVersion=17700 %command%

This gets passed the Buffer Overrun errors and into the main menu. Everything is all red and the screen doesn't refresh correctly, mouse and menus never disappear.

Exit the game and find the config.cfg file located in the installed directory/Main/config.cfg and make the following changes:

seta r_mode "-1" - Allows custom resolutions
seta r_customheight "1440" - Set height you want, mine is for 2k
seta r_customwidth "2560" - Same as before but for width
seta r_customaspect "1.7" - Match your aspect ratio, e.g 1 = 4:3, 1.6 = 16:10 and 1.7 = 16:9
seta com_maxfps "165" - Set to framerate of your screen
seta r_ignorehwgamma "1" - Stops overly bright screen as well as the refresh problem and redness.

This makes the game perfectly playable for me, every setting upto max and I get a constant 165fps in fullscreen. I also made the following changes in the config.cfg file but this made no bearing on getting the game to run, just for usefulness:

seta com_introplayed "1" - Skips the intro logos (Activision and Infinity Ward)
seta cg_fov "90" - Change field of view to 90 degrees. Too high and the arms don't fit the screen properly

With this setup I managed a complete playthrough of the game. The only issue is the opening Activision and Infinity Ward logos and the end videos only play audio due to the custom resolution. They can still be viewed by changing the resolution in-game to something it likes and setting Fullscreen to off, this allowed me to view them.

Setting seta cg_nopredict to "0" stopped my mouse lag when crouching/proning and aiming down the sights in United Offensive, didn't have the issue in Call of Duty as it was already set to 0. Might help the above mentioned issue of the Mouse Acceleration.

I also had the focus loss when using Sprint, again only in United Offensive as I believe sprint was only added in that game and not the original, but I solved that by changing the Sprint key to something other than Alt. Holding Alt was activating some shortcut under Xfce in Manjaro which was causing focus loss, Alt + Tabbing back in fixes it, but changing the key fixes it permanently.

I confirm the game start well only forcing Proton up to version 5.13-6 (without any option).
While newer version show all menù in green/red/blu as in prev image.
I tryed all the suggested solution/start option on protonDB, no one solve this for Proton 6 and newer.

With such bluish menu it is impossible to selection any options as all writes are not readable
