Compatibility Report

i have the same on proton 4.2-9. The game never start for me in Proton or in Wine.

steam-476600.log

+1 for making this game work in Proton! I hope Valve makes more Call Of Duty titles work in Proton, old and new Call Of Duty games.

The game works with vanilla Wine but it have no sound - I tried it with FAudio, xact, etc. So if Valve fix the start problem, the long standing sound issue will be there.

Did anyone tried with a more recent proton version? Or glorious eggroll proton?

Would be interested to hear an updated report also, it's a large download so please comment if you have a recent experience.

I have attempted to get this game to run with many versions of proton. I have recently tried Proton 5.0-9, GE-5.9-3-ST/5.9-MF/5.11-3-MF to no avail. Still closes without an error or ever showing up. I tried PROTON_USE_SECCOMP=1, just as an attempt, but couldn't get it to work. Hope this game works someday.

I've also tried different Versions of Proton including V(5.09,4.11-13,4.2-9,3.16-9,3.7-8). Moreover i've tried to start the exe in a wine environment, but the game never started. Sadly there is no error message which could indicate the problem.

Just to confirm this is still not working with proton 5.13 that says it is suppose to work! A window just opens up if you want to boot using safe mode or not, but regardless it just shows the game logo screen(which is some screen before game launch) and then tries to launch the game and nothing happens the log doesn't contain anything that would indicate what is going on. I tried to purge the prefix and recreate it, but still no go.

Unfortunately the same here. Hope this can be fixed in a future release.

Same here for multiplayer. When I try running single player to my surprise it just works. Weird...

steam-476620.log
Here is a log just in case someone can find use for it, but I highly doubt that.
EDIT: New proton log using WINEDEBUG="+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+debugstr,+module,+file" %command%
steam-476620.log

For me with DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/username/dxvk.conf %command% in launch options I can get Zombies to boot and get to a join menu, but the performance is awfully horrible when trying to create a game. Inside my dxvk config is

dxgi.customDeviceId = 10de
dxgi.customVendorId = 1c82

but after doing that it launches 100% of the time.

EDIT: if you wait ~5min the pre-game lobby for zombies also works well
EDIT 2: I also have the edit to the soldier entry point, so I'm not actually using the soldier runtime
EDIT 3: in game works fine, but you get horrible shader stutters until they are done compiling, while shaders are compiling for the new area you walk into the game is unplayable
EDIT 4: You need to have a controller to play the game at all as the input is 100% broken on kb mouse, other wise the game runs fine

I also can't get Call of Duty: WWII to work on Proton 5.13. Tried both singleplayer and multiplayer.
System Information

This line from the log may be of interest:
wine: Call from 000000007B010E0E to unimplemented function atiadlxx.dll.ADL_Adapter_NumberOfAdapters_Get, aborting

Call of Duty: WWII (476600) now works on Proton 5.13-2 RC! Though it seems a little confused about display drivers:

After dismissing that warning (which shows up every time I start the game) the game itself works fine, besides the usual shader compilation slowdown. The audio also crackles. The multiplayer (476620) still refuses to launch.

Call of Duty: WWII (476600) 5.13-2 Game loads great here. No keyboard or mouse.
I did play it with xbox one controller - but I would prefer keyboard & mouse

Managed to launch the Single Player with Proton 5.13-2. At frist the mouse was really laggy but then it became more smooth. I've quit the warn message about the outdated driver and started to play the first lvl of the campaing. Later on i will try the multiplayer.

single player works fine, however on multiplayer i am not able to use keyboard only mouse

I get a “ DirectX: Error- Unable to find a supported display mode.”

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Mesa 21.0.0-rc4
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core

In my case, it works fine on Ubuntu 20.04 with Proton 5.13-6, but does not work with Proton 6.3-5 or Proton Experimental.

Hello @m-kru, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, 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.

Still a problem here, also under 5.13-6
Added 3 log files for expirimental, 5-13-6 and GE (but nothing starts with GE currently..)

The game stops working every time you change to a different proton version. You need to delete the prefix and let it regenerate. Then it works fine.

No it never worked. Just tried again to delete prefix but still the same direct x error.

Just tried.. multiplayer indeed works, it's the single player that doesn't start (DirextX encountered an unrecoverable error). Can anyone confirm single player should work on AMD graphics?

I can confirm SP works for me while running Proton 5.13-6 with AMD RX550 2GB.
Like you already mentioned MP works aswell.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2509#issuecomment-903286233

It works with an RX 5700 XT. Did you delete BOTH the prefix folders? The singleplayer (476600) and multiplayer (476620) are seperate.

This game plays smoothly for me, with AMD RX570.

About 45 minutes into the game, just after saving Zussman, the textures near the barnhouse fail to load. This appears to be a known-issue with the game, and not specific to Proton:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjSrgZnxgng shows this occurring for another player
• https://steamcommunity.com/app/476600/discussions/0/1479857071258126904/ discusses this, incl. "In then end i just p[layed through it, in the whole campaign, this is the only glitchy section. from there on everything is good. "

I'm not sure if this is related or not.
I'm using the latest version of Steam for Linux.
CoD WWII keeps crashing on start.
CoD WWII Multiplayer does not crashes on start.
My GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Edit :
It happens with Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge, but also Glorious Eggroll's Proton which is a tweaked version of Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge.
The game works perfectly with Proton 7.0-r4, it doesn't crashes at launch.
My Mesa version is 22.1.7 and I'm using Xorg, not Wayland.
