Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Outcast - Second Contact
  • Steam AppID of the game: 618970

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.

Symptoms:

--Mouse--
Unity engine. Two mouse problems after some amount of time (not all that much time)

  1. Mouse gets stuck in center of screen in menus and game mouse control is lost. ALT+TAB in borderless fullscreen mode can get it to move again (only menu is fine) allowing to save game.
  2. After ALT+TAB mouse game control becomes crazy and anti-normal to the point must save and exit game.

--Startup freeze--
Randomly with 4.11-3 the game window becomes frozen on startup (after starting from Steam and before reaching fullscreen and/or possibly right after fullscreen of game window).

Currently have no log for this.

Reproduction

--Mouse--
Play game for some amount of time eg 15 minutes.

--Startup freeze--
Start the game.

Adding report for specific to this game. I know that Proton has already received mouse fixes for Unity but this game still needs one or more fixes.

I'm quite sure both problems will be fixed in time.

steam-618970.log

Attached log from random startup freeze with Proton 4.11-3

Note: I don't see anything in the log that's really any different from a non-freeze start of the game. Perhaps the problem is with Proton itself or requires a debugger.

Looks like once it freezes, Steam must be closed, as additional launch of game failed, but worked after Steam is closed then re-opened.

Literally, wouldn't you know went to play the game after closing and it has the problem lol. Couldn't get it to do it when I tried but now it does it.

Closing it due to finished playing. If someone else has the problem they can make a new report.
