Hello @naoliv, Proton uses DXVK to translate DirectX 11 to Vulkan, which your video card does not support.
You could try using PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the game's launch options to tell Proton to use the DirectX 11 to OpenGL render path or alternatively, you could try -force-glcore to tell Unity 5.4 to use OpenGL.
I didn't know that, I am sorry.
It indeed did run with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Probably this issue should be closed then?
Thanks!
Or maybe convert it to a feature request: if the video card doesn't support Vulkan, probably Proton should fallback to OpenGL.
An automatic fallback was previously discussed on #1749, which concluded with https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/pull/1749#issuecomment-489618385.
Understood. Thanks again!

Game crashes without launching.
Hello @VenomousSteam81, your Proton log looks similar to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2340#issuecomment-3436899873, can you test removing AMDVLK for the driver mix?
Hello @VenomousSteam81, your Proton log looks similar to [#2340 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2340#issuecomment-3436899873), can you test removing AMDVLK for the driver mix?
How can I do that?
ELF ecf93000-f246b000 Deferred amdvlk32.so AMDVLK is still there.
How can I remove it then? I thought setting the launch args to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% would fix it.
Ah ha! I tried doing this earlier and forgot about it. I ran sudo pacman -Rd --nodeps lib32-amdvlk and now it works.
Huh. Well that's... ...very confusing. I ruled out amdvlk being a problem initially because I have AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV set globally. But now we know...
