#2166 System Information
The game crashes at the start if Vulkan backend is enabled. Starts with D3D11, but flickering makes it unplayable.

I am trying to load Serious Sam Last Hope, but I get the error message that the license verification can't be accessed. I have run many VR games like Saints and Sinners with no problem with my Index system. Here is a list of things that I have tried:
used 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as dns on computer
tried 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 on router (not allowed)
2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844 IP6 tried
tried +gfxapi OGL launch option
tried proton version 6.3-7
tried various ways to start, desktop icon (unpacked direct x) normal, without VR on, etc.
SamTLH.log can't find
fire wall disabled, thought i could change it, but it was not on

@pete777moen I have been having the same Licensing issues for, I think years now. I played this game a lot in VR (linux and windows) back when Proton 2, 3 and 4 were current.
After doing some troubleshooting I also confirmed that my network connectivity is fine, (in general may be borked in Proton) yet the DRM issue remained, in modern versions of proton.
On a hunch I tried proton 4.2, and it works no problem. Also proton 4.11 works no problem. Any newer versions i tested (5,6,7,experimental) and GE newer versions (6,7) all fail to connect to license servers.
Game logs indicate SSL failure, so maybe proton updated with a new ssl/tls library (or is missing a CA for validation or or something). But normal networking checks out as multiplayer works. maybe this is a more complex DRM issue.
Thank you. When I get a chance I will try it.

Hello @pete777moen, @samualblair, can one of you 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, it would be interesting to try running the game with Proton 4.11 once, then switch to Proton 5.0 add see if it keeps working as intended.

proton_5.0-10_tempissue_after_container_change_steam-465240.log
proton_5.0-10_worked_after_steam_restart_steam-465240.log
proton_5.13-6_launched_after_steam_restart_but_regression_hit_steam-465240.log
proton_5.13-6_tempissue_after_container_change_2_steam-465240.log
proton_5.13-6_tempissue_after_container_change_steam-465240.log
Logs of working 4.11-13 instance.
Logs of actually working 5.0-10 instance, as noted in a couple logs when I switch proton versions right away the game won't launch, apparently this tricked me earlier into thinking 5.0-10 was broken. After exiting steam, and re-launching it works. My thought is something is hung/pending with the new proton container. Anyway it looks like 5.0-10 is good.
The breakage/regression seems to happen in 5.13-6. Again I attached a (well 2 logs) of the game not launching after proton change, but again after closing and re-opening steam that wasn't a problem. Now the game launches but the "unable to contact licensing server" issue is present.
Logs do show SSL connection failures start on 5.13-6, but SSL connections are good with 5.0 and 4.11
Also just FYI, whenever closing it appears the game engine throws an crash/error page, but that seems to be occurring on any version of proton I've used and from what I can tell is harmless, generally steam kills the window before I look at it or bother. Might just make the end of the logs more messy.
From what I can see in the logs when working (4.11-13 and 5.0-10) we have:
ERR: LVE: 2351
INF: OpenSSL 1.1.0e 16 Feb 2017
And when Failing:
ERR: LVE: 2351
ERR: LVE: 2352 - Failed to initialize SSL! Error: unknown certificate verification error
ERR:
Hopefully there is some more information in there somewhere.
This License Verification problem also happens (although in different ways) in the following Croteam games:

Symptoms
Reproduction
Game crashes on boot. Attached wine debug log. Also attempted to boot with the Vulkan API set as a launch option, slightly different symptoms that way but still crashes before booting.
