This game does work on wine staging w/o proton, so it may be a wine staging patch proton needs.

Do you installed all the prerequisites to run proton, like vulkan driver? Link here

My graphics driver version is the recommended version there, yes.

its something with proton. wine + dxvk manually works great.

Elementary OS 0.4.1 (Based Ubuntu 16.04)
Mesa 18.0.5
RX 580
Proton 3.7

Tried to Install Corefonts to the default Wineprefix via Winetricks, this seems to work, all Fonts in the Launcher are visible.

Login with Socialclub works, but launcher loads for a infinte time until i manually kill it. Same Thing for Launching GTA Online

I have the same issue with my Nvidia 1070 card. I discovered from logs the crash happens because of missing nvapi64.dll. Disabling the library via winecfg did not help, so I had to resort to changing device id as described in https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Configuration.
The game launches now and works with a decent frame rate.

This is exactly how I managed to make the game work:

1. Created gta_dxvk.conf file:

dxgi.customDeviceId = E366
dxgi.customVendorId = 1002

1. Went to the game properties and set launch options:

DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/gta_dxvk.conf %command%

By the way, wine-staging has a stub implementation for nvapi and nvapi64. So I guess this is why a lot of people reporting gtav working with wine and dxvk without an issue.

Thanks too this fix the game launches now :) But it did not end loading ("loading story")
It did not hang or crash it just doesn not stop loading. I waited about 15 Minuits. i will try it again and look in the Steamlog and post it.
EDIT:
Lots of DLL Stuff here. Im not very into wine so i do not realy know what to do :/

@CodingKoopa Not tested Proton but can confirm both GTA V and GTA Online function as expected using DX11 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (x64) with Wine Staging 3.14 and DXVK 0.70:

Steam System Information

Additionally used:

• winetricks corefonts directx9 vcrun2012 win7
• export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msdmo=b"

Hope that helps.

On Arch GTA V also fails with Proton, but runs with Wine Staging 3.14 and DXVK 0.70 without any additions.

CPU: AMD FX 6300
GPU: AMD RX 460

I can confirm that:

• On Wine Staging 3.14, after running the Winetricks corefonts and steam verbs in a clean 64-bit prefix, the game is able to start up, and go in-game. In-game, the world looked too bright, so I changed the graphics backend of the game from Direct3D11 to Direct3D10. Doing so fixed the issue - as this is likely an isolated WineD3D issue, I reverted it back to D3D11 and moved on.
• On the same version of Wine, and the same prefix, after installing DXVK 0.70, the game is able to start up, and go in game. The game is slow and the log is spammed with 00fe:err:nvapi:NvAPI_D3D11_SetDepthBoundsTest Failed to get wined3d device handle!, which the configuration suggested by @AlexeyProkhin fixed (it's worth noting that another solution I was advised to try was to disable NVAPI.).
• On Proton, after running the corefonts verb, and using the configuration suggested by @AlexeyProkhin, the game is able to start up, and go in-game. The game's FPS in the low 20s (faster than before), and the log is no longer spammed with the message, presumably due to NVAPI being bypassed.

tl;dr: @AlexeyProkhin's workaround worked for me. Cheers.

@AlexeyProkhin's workaround for proton works here as well

• 396.51.02
• MS fonts installed

I do get some stutters at regular intervals, that I do not get using wine+dxvk on their own.

Had to use @AlexeyProkhin's workaround and install corefonts using WINEPREFIX=/path/to/steam-library/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx winetricks corefonts to make the game window appear.

Then the game hung up at "Initializing Social Club..." (after the rockstar logo appeared) and showed Social Club Error (Error: 17) after a while. Afterwards I tried to launch it using Proton 3.7-4 Beta and couldn't get past the Rockstar Logo, the game crashes after 5 seconds. I then switched back to Proton 3.7-3, game still crashing. I validated my game files and as this didn't help I redownloaded and reinstalled GTA, again with the workaround and by installing corefonts using winetricks. But I can't get past the Rockstar Logo anymore.

Anyone with the same problem and maybe with a solution?

The steam log that was created by renaming user_settings.sample.py to user_settings.py in <steam library>/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7 can be found here: https://gist.github.com/jkhsjdhjs/209e2e2436453184a036f63c014baed6

EDIT: Sadly installing dxvk 0.70 didn't change anything.
EDIT2: I'm on Arch Linux 4.18.4 with an i5-7600K and a GTX660 with nvidia 396.54.

Guys, I was able to successfully start gta on my ubuntu. What I did was:

• installed winetricks (as well as wine so I can then add the corefonts)
• installed latest dxvk 0.70 in the "wine vm" where gta is installed (that's usually in /path/to/library/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx)
• made sure I was running the latest nvidia 396.* drivers
• made sure I was running Mesa 18.2
• applied @AlexeyProkhin's workaround as well

There are some issues with the game i.e. sometimes the mouse can escape the game container or the game won't actually "exit" when you quit so you have to kill it, but for the better part it's working quite well, considering this is an early beta. I didn't expect it to even start.

Hello. And I have such problem.Corefonts has established through Winetricks, NVIDIA 396.54 drivers

I had an issue where the game wouldn't launch past the Social Club launcher, and the fix provided by @AlexeyProkhin seemed to get it to at least launch, for what I'm assuming is an issue with the Rockstar Social club, the splash screen progresses to the part of where it's supposed to show, but instantly crashes.
Part where it's supposed to show, as in it sometimes crashes at the rockstar logo, or hangs before the loading begins.
After it crashes, it hangs on:

I'm running Arch, and had success getting it to run on wine + dxvk (albeit small bugs with the visuals, but still got it running). I've also tried the extra step from @steve-todorov to no luck. Anybody else experiencing this?

@c1349887 You don't have corefonts installed. Either install the corefonts winetricks package or find another way to get microsoft compatible fonts on your system.

@Lemai-zz Can you provide system information? Which graphics driver do you use?

@Lemai-zz try:

export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/library/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx
winetricks --gui

Then select default prefix, install a font and finally corefonts. If that doesn't do the trick - I don't know... :/

People... Provide information if you want help. Just knowing that you run Steam and GTA V isn't enough to troubleshoot...

@d3rrial @c1349887 said he has corefonts installed.

So do I and it's still not going past that social club window. (Using Archlinux, Mesa, Amd GPU)

@Unmoving Then his corefonts installation didn't take. This has all the signs of missing MS fonts.
Can't help for AMD issues, unfortunately, I'm on nvidia and I didn't experience the same problem you have with nvidia yet.

Use
winetricks --force corefonts
to be sure coreonts is intalled in your prefix.

@d3rrial Hey, apologies for not being as thorough as I can be. The packages I have installed are nvidia-396.54-1 along with mesa-18.1.7-1 (if it really matters). I do have corefonts installed, and again running Arch lol.

Along with a GTX 770. If there's anything I'm missing, I'm totally willing to provide.
@steve-todorov Unfortunately, that gave no luck for some reason. I'm going to keep troubleshooting myself because this is just weird.

Trying to run GTA V through STEAM with Proton, both main and beta.

Get logged into rockstar online, then it tries to load the game, then rockstar social comes back and tells me the game failed to launch, want to try it in safe mode?

Try safe mode, same thing.

Kind of annoying since I already had it running in a Lutris setup with DXVK 0.70 + WINE 3.13-staging (and earlier versions previously).

• Ubuntu 18.04
• GTX 960 396.54
• XFCE4 + Compiz, 3x1920x1080
• i7 980x
• Asus Xonar DGX

Have you applied the DXVK workaround mentioned above? @BloodyIron

Got GTA V working on Elementary OS 5 (beta)

installed packages: llvm clang and i am pretty sure i had corefonts installed from before
driver: Nvidia 396 (it actually ran on 390 too, but had some framerate issues)

specified custom DXVK config in GTA V startup params as @AlexeyProkhin suggested:

even downscaling works, so i can run on 4K screen with sharp UI etc, while rest is rendered at 1080p

In game i had to use Nvidia PCSS shadows tho, otherwise shadows would be all weirdly rendered, which tanked FPS on my 970 into 30-40s, but it runs stable, played for few hours without crash, until someone sent me message on steam, which minimized the game and that made it crash :D

@vanyasem have just been doing "vanilla" (gui beta opt in) testing methods, no modifications. Been leaving that to Lutris previously.

I have the same problem like @BloodyIron @rrivecatt and @jkhsjdhjs

Rockstar Social Club starts, game window appears (the one with police lights) then crashes after a few seconds. I have applied the gta_dxvk.conf workaround and installed corefonts.

Arch Linux, Gnome Shell 3.28, Nvidia 1050 Ti with 396.54 drivers, 24GB RAM, i5 7300HQ, Proton 3.7.3. I haven't tested it with vanilla Wine/DXVK.
By the way GTA SA and Witcher 3 both run great (mentioning this to let you know my drivers etc. should be ok).

EDIT: wrong driver number, it's actually 396.54
EDIT 2: It's the same on Proton 3.7.4-beta. The only difference is that it starts windowed on 3.7.3 and fullscreen on 3.7.4-beta.
EDIT 3: Adding terminal output:

eventfd: Too many open files wine: Unhandled exception 0x20474343 in thread a0 at address 0x7b44abbc (thread 00a0), starting debugger... eventfd: Too many open files AL lib: (EE) ReleaseThreadCtx: Context 0x7d469a10 current for thread being destroyed, possible leak!

Either configure esync properly as in the readme or disable it. It's not an issue with the game, it's an issue with your configuration @headlesscyborg

Adding PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 to the launch options fixed it for me.

@jkhsjdhjs well this got my game past crashing at the start, but now I'm stuck on initializing social club lol

anyone else have this issue?

lol i'm an idiot, apologies

@rrivecatt Yes, I had it too, see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-416002074
Try restarting your PC or reinstalling the game, that should fix it. Maybe killing all wine processes is also enough.

I'm trying to test and report the unmodified out of box experience. Should I download and try again, or wait for changes to Proton to roll out?

Hello guys, I fixed the problem with the loading social club screen forcing corefonts install with this https://askubuntu.com/questions/829247/cannot-install-the-package-ttf-mscorefonts-installer

@KostWarCZE Same issue here, my cursor moves on my seconds screen then, turning limited to +- 280°.
I fixed it once by hitting Alt + Enter until I'm in fullscreen again.
Also I normally have 60-70FPS, but after a while it drops to 20-30FPS and I didn't find a way to get them back to 60-70 again.
I also just experienced my first rendering issues with GTA:

Cool, thought I'm the only one having this problem. Used Lutris to get GTA5 working, had the same problem with the mouse ans the freezes (better: input lags). Used wine13-staging. With esync game crashed after some seconds when showing the intro. The input problems are not related to dxvk, they still exist when you run the game without it

Did you try changing the mouse input source in the game settings around? I initially had the same issue with DXVK (I don't remember which setting it was, I think it was DirectInput) but when I changed it to "Windows" and "RawInput" it worked (though RawInput was extremely jumpy)

Thanks @d3rrial, it was RawInput by default, changing it to Windows fixed it for me!
Also my FPS don't seem to drop anymore, not even when tabbing out!

EDIT: Nevermind, they just dropped after tabbing out and back in...
I really don't know what's causing it.

I also had issues with mouse, when it was awfully jumpy no matter the input type,i had OBS running on other screen and set up to "capture screen", on "window capture" it looked fine... but i guess actual reason may be not getting proper focus on game window and thats why mouse would go outside the window and FPS would be weird at least.

what may have fix that was setting game to fullscreen, not sure if i spammed alt enter a lot, or changed it in game graphics settings tho

@jkhsjdhjs also about rendering issues, on first run, i had to use Nvidia PCSS shadows, otherwise whole world would be covered by some weird bugged shadow. On second run i tried "smoother" and so far it works fine too... so i got my framerate back and running mostly at 60FPS :D

I tried changing the Soft Shadows Option to NVIDIA PCSS, which makes my FPS drop to 40. So I tried to change it to Sharp, but after a longer period (5-10 minutes) of having the game minimized the rendering issues are still appearing and my FPS are at only 20. So those two issues are related.
I then minimized and maximized my game again and somehow managed to get rid of them, with my FPS back at 60. Thank you anyways @wUFr!
tl;dr: the rendering issues are not related to the soft shadow setting but (probably) to minimizing the game for a longer period and also can be fixed somehow. also they occur exactly when my fps are at 20 only

i dont know what do!I tried to verfy integrity of the game.To reinstall it.But i still get error code 9.
!

@kisak-valve what's your frame scaling mode at in advanced settings? I had a similar problem, but once you set it off, it does the trick.

@rrivecatt I'm not sure if you're referring to my issue posted above or any of the others that have been merged with this one, but I'll answer anyway just in case.

Frame scaling mode is off. I'm running the game at 2560x1440. Display mode isn't making a difference either.

Mirrors seem to be very weird, very similar to the blocky lighting so they could be related?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1498716341

I applied the gta_dxvk.conf fix as mentioned above, but I get a crash after Rockstar Social Club: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x000001b6 in 64-bit code (0x00007f75f7b2dfe7).

@john5788 Try a newer wine version. Could play the game with native wine 3-14 (also with 3-13) and DXVK, but needed some fixes. Would recommend to use Lutris to handle this for you.

@justeff I know I can get it to work with Lutris/Wine+DXVK, but I'd like to see this working "natively" from within Steam via Steam Play/Proton. I'm just reporting my findings when I try to launch the game "out-of-the-box" and with a proposed fix by a fellow user.

Ok cool ;)

about blurry textures, i noticed that too... running in 4K with 0.5x scaling (basically 1080p with sharp UI elements) with 16x AF and textures on high.

Could try it without scaling, if that does something... if my 970 wont run away screaming in pain

@AlexeyProkhin Thank you very much for the fix.

Out of curiosity I downloaded wine-staging-3.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from the Arch Linux repositories and copied lib/wine/nvapi64.dll.so & lib/wine/.fakedlls/nvapi64.dll to the corresponding dirs in the proton wine prefix.

The game then runs without the need for the fix but the fps is marginally worse.
So atm it's better to pretend to be an AMD card !

Still can't quite believe I can play GTA V @ 5760 x 1080 on Linux. FPS slightly worse than Windows but entirely playable :)

I tried what @gripped suggested and I am able to get the game window to appear for half a second, then crashes again to the Rockstar Social Club launcher.

It looks like something with joystick is causing my problem for crashing:

With corefonts installed the game starts, and appears to have decent performance. But the game consistently crashes at the same point ~10 seconds into the first cutscene of the story mode, when one of the characters kicks in a door. PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 does not appear to make any difference.

Radeon R9 290
Intel i5-6600k

@madsbuvi could you try different part of game? I had GTA V crashing on me in first 10 secs when i had unstable RAM overclock, probably not the issue, but you never know :)

I'd need an external save file or something of the sort. I'll install it on windows to make one and let you know.
I do not overclock anything.

Okay. I got past the opening to the first save point on windows, and transferred that save via cloud.
I noticed that the moment into the first cutscene where it crashes is the exact moment where control is given to the player.
Loading the cloud save crashes instantly, which is consistent with player control = crash.

@kisak-valve
well I co not concur with the transfer, since I do not believe that this has specifically to do something with the game.
regardless what it does, totally losing control/focus of steam, the overlay or any input can't be that much related to the game. it is merely an example for which game this happens with.

so my best guess is that this has to do directly with proton or BPM, GTA must not be able to cause such a severely unresponsive system.

Hi, have error "GTA V exited unexpectedly".

@drummerdox have you tried any of the tips that are posted above? If not, try these first and you should probably include more info about your system/os/proton version etc if problem persists

@wUFr Thanks.
Unfortunately after changes from @AlexeyProkhin , I see this error.
"No Directx 10 or 11 adapter or runtime found. Please install latest Directx".

How can I configure direct x adapter ?
It seems like I done have program 'winecfg' is currently not installed.

Anyone out there who can help me with this?

@kisak-valve : I have an issue regarding GTA V and steamOS, if you want, I will refile it differently.
Anyway:
When using all the above mentioned work arounds, GTA V works on steamos with steam in big picture mode when using a window manager. When starting GTA V on bare steamos (with the steam dedicated compositor/"window manager"), after the social club login, there is a pink background, and eventually that stops, and then there is a black screen and soft music in the background. It doesn't react to input, so I guess it is crashed halfway.

I got the game started and playable using just the steam beta client and these 4 things I found in this thread -

1. I'm on Solus so used this to install corefonts - https://solus-project.com/articles/software/third-party/en/#microsoft-core-fonts
2. Created a gta_dxvk.conf file with this text

dxgi.customDeviceId = E366
dxgi.customVendorId = 1002

1. Used that file location in the games launch options (right click on game in steam client, select "properties" then "Launch Options"

DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/my_username/gta_dxvk.conf %command%

1. Renamed file "user_settings.sample.py" in folder "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7/" to "user_settings.py", Edited the settings file and uncommented

"PROTON_NO_ESYNC": "1",

Optional: I enabled DKVK's HUD in this same file

"DXVK_HUD": "devinfo,fps",

I got up to 180FPS in the DXVK HuD results and no crashes although I only played for a short time.

Same as me, but I have a problem with my Steam Controller. This is detected as a Keyboard and if I use sc-controller ( https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller ) emulating a XBOX360 with precission camera, the range of of this camera is limited

@JasonFinestone be aware GTA V will start doing weird sh*t when reaching framerate that high, would try to keep it under 140FPS :D

@wUFr how can I limit the FPS? In the same configuration file user_settings.py?

For me the game crashes about 10 seconds after I start playing.
This is the error I receive:

I have already fixed the FD limit & toyed with the dxvk conf file, nothing seems to work..

Edit: I use Arch btw

You will need NVIDIA 396.54 or Mesa 18.1.x at a minimum. LLVM7 or above is recommended to play DX11 games without GPU hangs.

-> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_3.7/PREREQS.md

After installing corefonts with Winetricks to my Proton-Prefix I got it running (before it hanged at startup at Social Club; it looked like this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-416037816). I played it for some hours in SP without any problems and with FPS between 35-60.

Sadly i cant find any Mesa Package above 18.0.5 for Xenial (16.04), does anyone know when the 18.1.x Series will be released for Xenial?

@kisak-valve Thank you very much!

@c1349887: We had exactly the same problem. You need to install the ms corefonts in your system! Under Ubuntu:

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

That's it! We didn't need winetricks or anything else. We just install the ms corefonts and it works. At least under Ubuntu.

The GTA V launcher simply needs the corefonts. Many will not have them installed. Maybe Valve can integrate them into Proton, if they do not exist in the system. Missing ms corefonts will surely cause problems with other windows games as well. Maybe it's a licensing problem. Can't judge it. But technically, it's so trivial.

Maybe it's a licensing problem.

Exactly, see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/571.

running Proton 3.7.5 beta on Fedora using native Steam libraries, but GTAV and only GTAV is having issues with the mouse identical to those reported by @KostWarCZE, except my restriction is closer to within a 70-degree window... Tried changing the winecfg settings, installing directx11 and xinput, tried running in window, tried changing mouse input method in-game, but no matter what my range of motion is restricted to a tiny window...

• OS: Arch Linux
• Kernel: 4.16.14-1-ck
• CPU: AMD FX-8350
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 + AMD Radeon RX 480

Had problems with missing fonts in launcher, did the winetricks corefonts trick — did not work.
Inspired by @Oliver-1xok I installed the the legacy MS corefonts via pacman:

pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts

Restarted steam, and then it the launcher worked perfectly.

Now the game crashes after the intro, but that's another story.

It looks like my issue that I reported above is different than what anyone else is reporting here.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-417714957

Since I'm seeing issues with libsdl2, I went ahead and unplugged my keyboard, launched steam, and launched GTA 5 mouse only. I got farther: the splash screen for GTA5 launched where the gunshots and police sirens are heard, but then it crashes after that with this in the terminal repeating:

>>> Adding process 15412 for game ID 271590

I'm using a Corsair Strafe RGB mechanical keyboard. Is there anything you want specific from my system @kisak-valve in regards to this error with libsdl2 and my keyboard?

@john5788 please configure esync properly according to THE DOCS. The issue is not related to the game itself

I've managed to get it working with @JasonFinestone 's and
@AlexeyProkhin 's methods on Arch with the latest Nvidia drivers and wine-staging package, in summary this is what I had to do.

Steps for Arch Linux w/ Nividia proprietary driver

• Install wine-staging (pacman -S wine-staging)
• Install the latest Nvidia drivers (pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils
• Create a GTA DXVK config file [1]
• Set GTA 5 launch option in Steam to DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/<PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG>/gta_dxvk.conf %command%
• Copy steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/user_settings.sample.py tosteam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/user_settings.py
• Uncomment "PROTON_NO_ESYNC": "1" in user_settings.py
• Copy all Windows fonts from a Windows ISO to /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts or install ttf-ms-win10 from the AUR
• Run fc-cache -vfr to rebuild the font cache

I'm now getting around 60/70 FPS on a GTX 780 with fairly high settings and I no longer need Windows, GTA was the only reason I had it, awesome!

[1] gta_dxvk.conf

dxgi.customDeviceId = E366
dxgi.customVendorId = 1002

You can also use nvidia in place of nvidia-dkms if you don't want the kernel modules to auto build when the kernel changes.

Also I'm not 100% sure but I think steam-native may give a slight FPS boost.

@kisak-valve and @vanyasem

I increased my number of open files limit by using ulimit -n 1048576 in my ~/.bashrc for now. My system is not accepting the values in /etc/security/limits.conf for some reason, but I'll debug that later on my own.

I also was not able to blacklist the Corsair keyboard as a joystick, the udev rules are not matching. For now I am just using a different keyboard to bypass.

I am getting a new error now, here is the gist:

Backtrace:

@kisak-valve

Regarding the SDL issue, I cannot blacklist the keyboard from SDL because it doesn't populate or create a /dev/input/js* device like my Xbox one controller does. The only devices that the Corsair keyboard shows up as are /dev/input/event13 and /dev/input/event14. Removing or chmod 000 these devices does prevent SDL from picking them up, however it also causes my keyboard to not work altogether.

Also, Big Picture Mode does not detect my keyboard as a controller so there's some proper detection in Steam itself somehow. Using sdl-jstest, I get the following results:

$ ./sdl2-jstest --list
Found 3 joystick(s)

Is there a way to perhaps not poll the device in joystick_sdl.c using the same condition that this test program uses to detect that the Corsair is not a real controller? Perhaps something like

SDL_GameController* gamepad = SDL_GameControllerOpen(joy_idx);
if (gamepad)
{
    poll()
}

Or utilize the SDL_IsGameController() function before polling the device?

From looking at the code for joystick_sdl.c, I don't understand why the function crashes at line 343 since the number of hats reported there should be 0.

Yesterday I was able to play GTA V with my proton version being 3.7.5beta, today it is updated to 3.7.6, and it doesn't seem to work anymore. It also doesn't start with Proton 3.7.3, which is the 'stable' version.

My system is Debian 9, with a Ryzen 1500X and Nvidia 1050 ti, with the latest nvidia drivers and llvm 7. I have done the fix to change the DXVK settings, which made it playable before, but not now. Does anyone have any idea? :)

Edit: I was on Nvidia 396.51, updated to 396.54 and it works again!

Disregard my 2nd to last comment about a "new" error appearing. I didn't realize that Proton updated to 3.7.6 and it removed the fix that I applied from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-417685474 . I reapplied the fix and GTA 5 is now working for me, but I still have the SDL issue as mentioned .

Using the steps that nerdyman describe in this post I can play GTAV without problems, except a strange issie that also have in Wine+DXVK. All controls seems to be OK with my Steam Controller, but when I try run (A button) the game start to record a clip. I try to emulate a XBOX controller with sc-controler, but I have the same problem.

@leillo1975

Your are describing exactly what I mentioned before, please see my posting above at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-417925826

is the steam overlay working for you? for me, when pressing the steam home button, the overlay becomes unresponsive.

To install MS-W10 fonts I got a copy of the folder C:\Windows\Fonts from a W10 install. If you don't have a W install (medium), ask a friend to compress the folder and send it via https://framadrop.org/ or another filetransfer service. After that, I went ahead via the copy method on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microsoft_fonts#Using_fonts_from_a_Windows_partition. This enabled me to make a Social Club account, but the game got stuck in the loading screen.

Thanks to the fix from @AlexeyProkhin and clear description from @JasonFinestone https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-418265244 I'm now able to start and play the game. Although I can't recommend his optional step as the explanations in the tutorial will be barely visible because of the DXVK FPS overlay. The built-in steam overlay works, so why bother?

Another proposal from @gripped https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-417685474 seems interesting and I would like to try it out, but I'm not sure where to find

the corresponding dirs in the proton wine prefix

The nvapi files can be found easily when wine-staging (not wine) is installed, but which folders do correspond?

Arch 4.18.6 , Mesa 18.1.8
on
FX8320e , RX480

@kaymio thats seems like a bit overcomplicated, to get needed fonts, you should just run
apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
and be fine, i did this before i even installed steam, cuz few years back, steam itself wouldnt run without these

edit: not sure how you install stuff on Arch, but pretty sure this package will be available there as well

@kisak-valve would be good idea setting up repo with list of tutorials, how to make various games working under different distros, at least before Steam can figure it out on their end. So people could just browse it and see whats needed to run lets say GTA (:

This should make Issues for proton itself a bit smaller, if people would follow tutorial first, then report issues if they get any, with game itself.

@wUFr the AUR has ttf-ms-fonts as well as several packages for specific win8 and win10 corefonts.
But this is for the OS usage, no? corefonts installed through winetricks would enable for wine.

I believe wine will use your distro fonts as well, i did not have to install any fonts in wine itself

edit: Found on the internet ... fonts in /usr/share/fonts should be usable directly in Wine

Interesting. I will install those myself, that should be included in FAQ for proton. Or do they plan on including inside of proton? I heard there were copyright issues.

Edit: fc-cache -vfr will regenerate your font cache (verbosely, forced).

@leillo1975 @steamoshza I think this is a known GTA issue that also happens on windows. The game seems to change the control scheme once you have used an input device other than your controller. Try to not touch your mouse or keyboard after starting, that works for me.

well there is no keyboard or mouse, I am using steamOS as a console like env.

but news to that: after starting the game execute in a shell: killall GTAVLauncher.exe

the launcher is not required to keep the game running, interestingly the issue vanishes then. it's just a little bit annoying to login via ssh all the time, just to kill this after the game launches.

as mimattr said setting msdmo to builtin fixes social club problem crashing. I ran winecfg on the game prefix, went to dll overrides and added msdmo, then selected builtin. After that I was able to remove the offline only option and play normally

System Information

• GPU: GTX 970
• Driver/LLVM version: NVIDIA 396.54
• Kernel version: 4.4.0-135-generic
• Link to full system information report as Gist
• Proton version: 3.7-7 Beta

I confirm:

• [ ] that pressing the Play button in the Steam client is sufficient.
• [x] that runtime config options
  are necessary to run the game:
  1. Dependencies: Install Microsoft's "Core" fonts (e.g. sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer)
• [x] that no workarounds other than the mentioned ones are necessary.

Issues

• [x] I haven't experienced any issues.
• [ ] There are no issues left open for this game.
• [ ] Although I consider the gaming experience equal to Windows there are
  remaining issues:

NOTE: May be possible to distribute Google's Croscore fonts within Proton as a Microsoft alternative.

Yep SteamPlay isn't big success at the moment for GTA 5, Playing it via Lutris is only way at the moment with few little tweaks.

I have gotten the game to work with the workarounds however if I tab out and back in the mouse doesn't allow you to move 360 degrees. Windowed mode solves this though.

Also the settings menu doesn't seem to save my settings between restarts but that is probably a bug with the game.

After installing corefonts, using winetricks, it works well. 4K, everything maxed out @ 60 -70 fps except Shader (on normal). If the shader is higher than normal, the game will crash.

If playing for long periods of time, the sound will suddenly lower to half the volume. (Having not checked exactly how long, but feels like around 2 hours). This can be temporarily fixed by turning up the volume of the system. If one keeps playing the sound will at some point die out in the right speaker (rest of the system still works with stereo). This got me curious, so I kept playing and at some point the stereo will work again and both speakers will play.
This has happened the three times I've played (and for that matter tested) the game on Proton 3.7.5-beta.
I have also noticed the camera movement bug, where sometimes the camera wont turn, when the cursor hits the edges of the monitor.

system_specs.txt

You can install corefonts without winetricks.
package name ttf-mscorefonts-installer
check if it's in your repos

then add DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/gta_dxvk.conf %command%
that's how I got it to work.

@c1349887: We had exactly the same problem. You need to install the ms corefonts in your system! Under Ubuntu:

Missing ms corefonts will surely cause problems with other windows games as well. Maybe it's a licensing problem. Can't judge it. But technically, it's so trivial.

Guess they could make an "agreement" when installing games that need it. Then you are the one using it and agreed to use it by their terms and valve are simply distributors of it.

Still having problems with SocialClub launcher stuck on Loading..

Can anyone provide more info how to fix it other then reinstalling the game.. which is also uneffective

as mimattr said setting msdmo to builtin fixes social club problem crashing. I ran winecfg on the game prefix, went to dll overrides and added msdmo, then selected builtin. After that I was able to remove the offline only option and play normally

I'm now getting around 60/70 FPS on a GTX 780 with fairly high settings and I no longer need Windows, GTA was the only reason I had it, awesome!

I'm running Manjaro Linux and I used your method to get GTA 5 working but I'm curious how you have a GTX 780 on fairly high settings with 60/70 fps? I have a GTX 980 ti and on lowest settings I get the same framerate as you. Maybe I don't have something installed that you do or maybe it's Manjaro itself since you use full Arch. If you could maybe help me figure it out I'd appreciate it. Any information you need I'm willing to give.

I found an another problem with the ps4 (ds4) controller. The combo L3+R3 doesn't work on this game. I think that the button R3 is not recognized in the game. L3 works.

I'm on Archlinux 64bit

@IM-OUT-OF-ORDER It might be your desktop environment, I'm just using i3 and disabling compton when the game starts.

You could try disabling whatever compositor you're using.

Also here's a gist of my .nvidia-settings-rc but I don't know if it will help you.

@nerdyman My .nvidia-settings-rc is similar to yours. I use cinnamon and I tried disabling the compositor (or atleast what I can) and oddly enough that made things worse I'm now in the range of 20/40 fps.

The game run fine after installing core fonts and following @AlexeyProkhin instructions. The main issue now is the mouse movement as mentioned by others aswel the mouse movement seems to get restricted to -+280*

I am getting around 45-65 fps on 1080p low on my old gtx 680 ref. Some shuttering and dips do happen.

I've been running the game find on my steamos system (using a real wm! with the steamcompositor it freaks out).
Until yesterdays steam client beta...: Sep 19 2018 22:44:09 . Now I get a no directx 10 or 11 driver found.
How does proton relate to the steam-client?

ah, WM, nvm, read it as VM

Don't embarrass yourself. - please be nice to people, thanks ;)

How does proton relate to the steam-client?

Thanks for the downvotes guys, really shows that if it works for you, then others must be stupid.
I've found why GTA V stopped working on NVIDIA:
the newer Proton and steam client did some more shuffling with the vulkan drivers, which probably caused it to select the wrong vulkan drivers.
mesa-vulkan-drivers is a dependency of steamos-packages.
So if you have steamos and nvidia drivers, you have to remove the mesa-vulkan-drivers which also removes steamos-packages (and fortunately only that).
Why? Because the nvidia packages are the only packages that have no vulkan icd files installed.
I will file a bug with steamos brewmaster_beta.

For those that run into the problem where the mouse is locked / unable to look to the right or left:
Setting "keyboard / mouse" -> "mouse input method" in the GTA V settings to windows fixed that one for me.

I also have this Social Club error:

The Social CLub failed to load due to an incomplete installation (code9). Please exit the game and re-install the latest version of the Social Club: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/articles/204075496
I don't know how to reproduce it.
My system is: Arch Linux (everything updated) with Nvidia driver 396.54.
I tried the mscorefonts and DXVK_CONFIG_FILE fixes.

For me this problem was caused by installing a game under proton 3.7.5 (beta) and 3.7.6 (beta) in 3.7.5, 3.7.6 and 3.7.7 (beta) it seems to be working. But verifying didn't help me either, I had to chose a working build and rename game folder in steamapps folder and then uninstall the game, after that name back the GTA 5 folder and press install, it will then properly fix the problem.

This method works. Please try and see if it works on your system as well.

System Information

• GPU: GTX 1060 Ti
• Driver/LLVM version: nvidia 396.54
• Kernel version: 4.15.0-34-generic
• Link to full system information report as Gist: System Report
• Proton version: 3.7-6
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I confirm:

• [ ] that pressing the Play button in the Steam client is sufficient.
• [x] that runtime config options are necessary to run the game
  • sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  • From the Steam Library interface, right click on the Grand Theft Audio V item in the left menu bar and goto Properties
  • Click SET LUNCH OPTIONS... and then enter this string into the text box DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=~/dxvk_gta.conf %command% click OK, click Close.
  • Insert the following into the ~/dxvk_gta5.conf file:

dxgi.customDeviceId = E366
dxgi.customVendorId = 1002

Issues

• [ ] I haven't experienced any issues.
• [ ] There are no issues left open for this game.
• [x] Although I consider the gaming experience equal to Windows there are remaining issues:
  1. After about an hour to two hours into the game, the audio becomes "staticy". It sounds like the audio driver gets a little to much information and it de-syncs the buffer.

@Dygear are you sure these are the only steps required? I have a 1050 (non TI) + same driver and proton versions as you, while following your steps did fix the launcher, the game does not come up for me, after a while the launcher pops up again asking if I would like to launch on safe mode, etc.

@Dygear if you're on Ubuntu, install the low latency kernel (usually available with Ubuntu Studio). I had that issue and after I upgraded it went away.

Funny, I removed @Dygear launch options and tried the beta version of proton and GTA V launched. So I'd say by the time 3.7-7 ships, you're only going to need to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

On the downside, performance is inconsistent, I get constant drops from 60 to 1 fps at the beginning, then it somewhat stabilizes at 30-20fps, but I still get freezes every now and then and audio gets out of sync when these stutters happen. (I'd say it's taking a big performance impact in comparison to windows)
Someone said using LLVM7 should fix the constant freezes but I'm using binary drivers from the ppa graphic-drivers.
Alt-tab kills the game with some note about unimplemented directx feature.
Still on the audio, it does start to sound weird after some hours of playtime but only some frequencies seem to trigger the... noisy noise :D

These issues aside, GTA Online plays very well. Unfortunately, you will still meet tryhards blowing your cargo on this version.

today i ran into an issue, where disabling vsync (in game) = ~10FPS; vsync on = 50-60FPS :O

but vsync still not working, framerate gets limited to 60 (shows up to 64 for some weird reason), but once it dips down, i get a lot of tearing :'(

but i could just blame sh!tty nvidia drivers for this one, which seems to stop saving my settings, again

I'm having a different issue than the ones mentioned (Arch Linux & RX580) I installed corefonts and the game launches, but it crashes during the loading screen with the (sirens and rockstar logo). Has anyone had this problem?

@pstngh Had the same problem. "Solved" it by lowering particle effects settings to normal (Radeon RX 580).

The "code 9" Social Club error message on Arch seems to appear only when running Steam with Arch's native runtime libraries. If I run steam-runtime instead, I can get past this error and register the game properly.

@SleepProgger I can't get to the menu though, how did you manage to change that setting?

@pstngh i think social club overlay/window pops up at that moment, that could be the issue.

On Elementary OS Juno, social club overlay works, but i have no visible mouse over it - but it works, just gotta aim blind :D

@pstngh Oops, sry i derped. I had that problem shortly after starting the single player not after starting the game.

You could try playing with the settings in
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/settings.xml, but it in deed sounds more like social club problems to me.

Social club logs are in : ~/steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Rockstar Games/Social Club btw.

Hmm thanks for the help guys, unfortunately it's still crashing during loading. Is the dxvk.conf fix needed with AMD gpus?

The following instructions work on Arch Linux with NVIDIA and are very easily reproducible:

1. Install ProtonTricks (Available in the AUR as protontricks-git)
2. Make sure a clean copy of Grand Theft Auto V is installed.
3. Run protontricks 271590 corefonts to install Microsoft's corefonts package.
   (Now WAIT. This process takes several minutes and pauses many times and looks like it's frozen. It's not. Just leave it to finish normally.)
4. Run sudo su to gain root privileges.
5. Run echo "DefaultLimitNOFILE=1048576" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf
6. Run echo "DefaultLimitNOFILE=1048576" >> /etc/systemd/user.conf
7. Run sudo systemctl daemon-reexec.
8. Type exit to return back to your own user.
9. Reboot. If you don't reboot this will not work.

Some of these instructions are sourced from the official esync documentation under "systemd distributions".

Finally make sure you have correct drivers using nvidia-smi. At the top-left corner, please make sure your NVIDIA driver version is >396.xx. The current latest NVIDIA drivers available should be 410.57. If you have the correct drivers and you've followed the instructions correctly, you should be able to click Play within Steam and Grand Theft Auto V should launch perfectly. Enjoy and have fun playing. :two_hearts:

If you're not on Arch Linux or Nvidia, these instructions might also work for you. Please tell me if it does!

*Edit: Two people below have reported getting this working using AMD cards!

@pstngh The dxvk.conf fix should not be needed anymore even on NVIDIA gpus. The fix was included in DXVK.

@Snuggle @AsciiWolf thanks I got it running!

last thing, does anyone know how to get 144hz? the only option is 60hz and I can't change it.

@pstngh This is likely a known bug with GNOME's mutter compositor. More details in the issue referenced one message above.

Also no problem, I'm glad you could get it working! Have fun and hopefully my steps above can be done automatically by Steam proton eventually — having Grand Theft Auto V working out of the box without any additional setup would be amazing.

@Snuggle thank you, I can confirm it works also with AMD cards
@pstngh I'm using Archlinux/KDE/SDDM and I it is locked at 60hz, it seems a bug.

Hello to all
I use Nvidia 1070 + Proton 3.7.7 + Manjaro + Snuggle's instruction
All actions are completed.
But just like some, there are problems with friezes after an hour of play. Has anyone been able to solve the problem?

Interesting. I've played through most of the entire story in Steam Proton already and I've never had a freezing issue.

I'm wondering if it's memory related, how much RAM does this machine have @Mario116? Linux tends to freeze and die when you run out of memory and it's usually easiest to just restart, since even switching to TTY is unresponsive.

Here's my neofetch:

It could also be I/O related. I have a slow disk and had constant freezes (along with textures taking a long time to load) even under windows.
I tried to amend the I/O issue by doing a zfs RAID1 on ubuntu, but the freezig persists.

I also saw some discussion about garbage collection stuff and GPU drivers somewhere so maybe that is related.

@Snuggle
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 @ 8x 4GHz [38.0°C]
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070
RAM: 2058MiB / 15986MiB
Friezes are observed exactly after an hour of play (+/- a few minutes). But this is not connected with RAM, I always have a few gigabytes left. The problem is solved only by restarting the game, after which I again have 1 hour of play without friezes.
@yangm97
I do not think that this is due to HDD, although I have 7200. Friezes are observed only after an hour of play, but not immediately. But I will try to transfer the game to the SSD.

P.S. I apologize for my strange English. I use a google translate. I hope my questions and answers will be understood)

Anyone have issues with the in-game social club menu? If you open it using HOME and click around or close it, the cursor will completely disappear and never come back until the game is restarted. This makes the social club menu useless thus making it very hard to join lobbies from social club friends.

@TheSIlentLink Yes, I see this problem too. Steam overlay mouse doesn't work in general for me either. I've tried enabling/disabling GPU accelerated rendering in web views to see if that affected anything, but nope.

@john5788 Have you tried tabbing out and back in? That fixes the cursor not showing in steam overlay for me and it works correctly for then on.

@TheSIlentLink Yes I have, but I am also running windowed mode. I have some serious lag issues when OBS tries to capture a full screen GTA5 so I get around this by playing in windowed mode.

I can't get self-radio to work, no matter what I try. Has someone succeeded in that yet?

This is the white dot I'm on about (by the yellow fire hydrant) which is still present in Beta 3.16-3 but rolling back to 3.7.8 it disappears.

Hello everyone,

I did the suggested and created gta_dxvk.conf, however I continue with the same DirectX error (ERR_GXF_D3D_NOD3D1X_4)
I do not know where I'm going wrong.

I have installed on my system the nvidia driver and dxvk-bin from the AUR repository

Distribution: Arch
CPU: Intel i5-7300HQ 
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile
GPU Driver: Proprietary
GPU Driver Version: 396.51

I had an issue where the game wouldn't launch past the Social Club launcher, and the fix provided by @AlexeyProkhin seemed to get it to at least launch, for what I'm assuming is an issue with the Rockstar Social club, the splash screen progresses to the part of where it's supposed to show, but instantly crashes.
Part where it's supposed to show, as in it sometimes crashes at the rockstar logo, or hangs before the loading begins.
After it crashes, it hangs on:

I'm running Arch, and had success getting it to run on wine + dxvk (albeit small bugs with the visuals, but still got it running). I've also tried the extra step from @steve-todorov to no luck. Anybody else experiencing this?

Friend, I have the same problem, did you find the solution?

@mamutal91

• Most common cause of the Social Club launcher loading forever is not having corefonts installed for the game.
  (Steps 1 to 3)
• Most common cause of the game loading forever while in-game (As in the loading screen with all the artwork and such) is not having the Esync patch applied.
  (Steps 4 to 8)

Follow steps 1-3 of these instructions and it should work for you: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-427656559
I've had both of these exact "loading forever" issues before and the above is what fixed them for me.

* Most common cause of the game loading forever while **in-game** (As in the loading screen with all the artwork and such) is not having the Esync patch applied.

After disable ESYNC it worked, thank you!

After the latest Steam update, GTA5 works even better: now it is not minimized immediately after starting. :tada:

Just played GTA V for like 30 minutes and it runs so well. I'm on Proton 3.16-3 Beta.

The only issues I've observed thus far is, one coffee table didn't render at all, a character's cigarette smoke clipped through the actor, and one scene the audio didn't sync with the lips.

But otherwise, I'm not seeing any rendering issues. Lip sync looks to be spot on for all scenes but one, everything appears to be rendering correctly, but haven't seen rain just yet. God rays and other lighting looks to be correct. I'm getting average 60fps, sometimes dips down to 40fps, but I can see upwards of 70-90fps+ in some scenes.

So far, I'd consider this completely playable. This is head and shoulders above what I was experiencing before.

I haven't done much with Rockstar Social just yet, but it appears to be picking up my saves just fine, which is seriously awesome! Considering this is a fresh install, getting my old saves makes me <3

Thanks for all the hard work folks! :DD

No problem! I'm happy you are able to play! I think we should keep this thread as quiet as possible just so we don't clutter this too much.

Would it be possible for Valve to apply the patches mentioned here inside the client: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-427656559 They seem to have helped quite a few people getting their game working and I would love the game to work natively out of the box in Proton for everyone. :blush:

@Snuggle Yep, Valve should definitely include corefonts in Proton or implement a way to install them when needed. Many games/game launchers do not work properly because of missing corefonts.

Has anyone tried to move their GTA5 install using Steam? I get this failure when I attempt to move the game to a different library folder:

"Failed to move all files to new library folder (I/O Operation Failed)."

By the way, wine-staging has a stub implementation for nvapi and nvapi64. So I guess this is why a lot of people reporting gtav working with wine and dxvk without an issue.

Couldn't Valve merge these patches with their fork, instead of implementing a hack to fix a few games which could inadvertently cause issues with more games?

The nvapi stub does not work with dxvk very well, it is known to cause issues. I almost sure it is because the nvapi stub calls functions from wined3d which dxvk replaces.

The new Proton 3-16-4 Beta might fix a lot of issues here:

For Direct3D games (both DXVK and wined3d), Nvidia cards are now reported as if they are actually AMD cards. This prevents games from trying to load the Windows-only nvapi library and crashing or giving very bad performance.

Proton now ships with corefonts support. This should fix many games with missing text, or that crash due to missing font support.

Frankly, I do not know exactly. I never used the patch, just briefly looked at it.

This is from dxvk wiki:

Some games may use nvapi.dll or nvapi64.dll when detecting an Nvidia GPU. The wine-staging implementation of these DLLs does not work with DXVK and should be disabled in winecfg, or otherwise games may crash or suffer from visual issues.

Game works very well with some minor issues such as mouse lock-up (while driving a car) and VSync does not limit FPS, but everything else is great.

At first I had infinite loading screen to story mode and ERR_AUD_INIT_1

My solution was here https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/How-to:-Esync

I use Gentoo Linux and it seems they have limit of 4096 for DefaultLimitNOFILE which after changing to 1048576 has solved everything. You can check on your system value of this limit by running ulimit -Hn visit the link to Lutris Wiki for more info how to solve this ;)

By the way, if someone knows how to fix VSync on this, I would be happy to know. I don't see point in playing game with more than 60FPS...

I use:
Proton 3.16-4
nvidia-drivers-410.73

Has anyone gotten refresh rates above 60 Hz to work? I have a 144 Hz monitor that's configured as such, confirmed by xrandr, but GTA V only lets me set to 60 Hz.

Thank you! Somehow I missed that when trying to search for issues with 144 hz with Proton.

Hey all,

I've checked everything here and yet I'm still facing the ERR_GXF_D3D_NOD3D1X_4 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I did follow the steps laid out to install corefonts and make the edits to systemd conf and user conf.

I'm running the NVIDIA 415 beta drivers.

@SUSEsean ERR_GXF_D3D_NOD3D1X_4 usually means you don't have DXVK enabled or installed.

Corefonts now seems to have been fixed in #571!

Is it possible for Proton to automatically detect and patch the system for esync if the file descriptor limit is too low? If so, GTA V should run out of the box in Steam Proton and it will fix the "infinite loading issue". (Hopefully!)

Edit: Relevant issue: #228.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to try to convince the distros to up the limits.
I'm not a huge fan of Proton fiddling with /etc files.

Hello @SUSEsean, does any vulkan application like vulkaninfo from the vulkan package work?

I do have vulkan installed, but running vulkan info is spitting this out - Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0"

So there's definitely an issue with my Vulkan install. Do you guys know if there are issues with Bumblebee and Vulikan?

Either that or my Quadro m1200 doesn't support Vulkan?

@SUSEsean 415 drivers broke many games but it shouldn't cause this error and this GPU should be fine.

I do have vulkan installed, but running vulkan info is spitting this out - Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0"

It means your drivers aren't installed properly, you can try older drivers or different installation method.

As an additional note, my distro is Ubuntu Budgie 18.10. Just in case it matters. :)

I haven't read through most of the more recent comments because this thread got quite huge, but here's my update:

System Information

• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
• Driver/LLVM version: Nvidia Proprietary Driver 410.73
• Kernel version: 4.18 mod
• Link to full system information report as Gist: https://gist.github.com/CodingKoopa/70589241f4d186ed446fcea7a4daeba7
• Proton version: 3.7-8

Issues

There's still a remaining issue that I consider make the experience unequal to Windows.

• The launcher's cloud save feature, in my experience, will almost always have a save conflict, without me playing the game from any other setup than this one (in the case of testing on Windows, that was only once).
  I've recorded a video of launching the game twice. It's long, and hard to follow, but I dunno how else to document this issue. I will add that the game's performance is better than shown here.

Additionally, there are a few of issues that do not hinder the experience but are worth mentioning:

• I have noticed meshes glitching in and out on a few occasions. I don't consider this to be a bad issue, as I feel this is partly due to the low settings I run the game at, and I couldn't cleanly reproduce it.
• Trying to drag the launcher windows will result in the window being moved around very erratically. This is also demonstrated in the video above.
• Sometimes, when alt tabbing back into the game, the character selection wheel (normally activated only when Alt is held) will be stuck, but this corrects itself when Alt is pressed again when the game is in focus.

Fixed Issues

These issues no longer occur on the latest version:

• The startup crash initially detailed in this issue.
• The game used to sometimes not properly capture the mouse when switching windows back to GTAV. I've been unable to reproduce this after switching to a newer Proton version.

All in all, the game is very close to the experience on Windows, the cloud save issue is the only hindrance left I would say.

Ubuntu 18.10
Radeon R9 Fury X
mesa 18.2.2, LLVM 7.0.0 (stock mesa from Ubuntu 18.10)
Proton 3.16-4.

Game works perfectly aside from 2 minor issues:

1. After 2-3 hours of playing, audio starts crackling. Needs a game restart to fix.
2. Occasionally, shadows on flat surfaces create a weird striped, swirling pattern instead of casting a full shadow. Seems to go away on its own after a while.

Also, the shader cache stuttering at the beginning was a lot more severe and lasted a lot longer for this game than most other games.

After 2-3 hours of playing, audio starts crackling. Needs a game restart to fix.

It may be pulseaudio bug which happens pseudorandomly during any audio playback, you can try this workaround: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches,_skips_or_crackling

It may be pulseaudio bug which happens pseudorandomly during any audio playback, you can try this workaround: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches,_skips_or_crackling

The only time this happens is when playing GTA V, though. Doesn't happen in any other Proton or native games, or while listening to music or watching videos. Is it likely to be a bug in Pulseaudio?

@meowmeowfuzzyface it depends on the hardware. I noticed it on 2 systems with ASUS X370-PRO and Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7. Sometimes it happens in <30 minutes of audio listening and sometimes I cannot reproduce it for days with music playing for about 9 hours every day.

Well for the record, I have a Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI mobo, but judging by the description I think it's probably not the same bug. The crackling only happens in this one game.

@meowmeowfuzzyface, can you try to reproduce your shadow issue with RADV_DEBUG=zerovram %command% to the game's launch options?

Okay, I will try. The shadow issue was occurring frequently at first, but I haven't seen it in a while now. I'll see if I can get it again by going to a new area.

1. After 2-3 hours of playing, audio starts crackling. Needs a game restart to fix.

@meowmeowfuzzyface I can confirm I see the same problem after exactly 3 hours of gameplay, whether it be shared by GTA online or entirely offline play. Just having GTA running for 3 hours will start crackling audio.

@kisak-valve just tested today on Vega 56 (swapped from nvidia) on clean install of Elementary OS (ubuntu 18.04), with proton 3.16-4 Beta. Game was complaining about not having "directX device", which was fixed by installing these:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

credit goes to: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1736589519991366130/

then game started, but im heaving some framerate issues, every time i would lets say open door, game would go 0FPS for a bit before it (i guess) loaded everything, which is weird since its running of SSD and i did not have such issues when running on Nvidia 970, will try browsing this issue for potential tips/fixes, these freezes appears constantly tho, but opening door to load inside/outside area is the worst

edit: ok looks like frame freezes were caused by shadows set to AMD CHS (guess thats buggy, but would explain why it lagged while going outside building)

also while running with PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 parameter, cursor was invisible while opening social club using HOME button.

Steam overlay has no cursor, but can be worked-around by opening social club using HOME, then openin steam overlay (this however does not work while running with ESYNC parameter above)

@wUFr I had the stuttering as well on my Fury X with mesa. I believe this is the initial shader cache generation that happens with all DXVK games, but for GTA V it seems to take an hour or two to subside whereas for other games it would be more like 15-20 minutes.

Also, I have tried reproducing the shadow pattern, but even new areas have correct shadows now. Maybe this is also an issue that goes away after the shader cache is generated.

ah ok, will try playing GTA online for a bit and see if it gets better... had 15FPS while loading in skies, went back to 40 after it loaded me into my house, but still had some laggy moments :)

Hello @CodingKoopa, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the cloud sync issue with Proton 3.16-4, and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

Done. In this case, the game had previously been exited, and should have uploaded the local saves to the cloud. When starting the game, the save file metadata aren't read, and a conflict also occurs.

steam-271590.log

Steam overlay has no cursor, but can be worked-around by opening social club using HOME, then openin steam overlay (this however does not work while running with ESYNC parameter above)

This does remind me of a small nonbreaking issue: in the Social Club interface, the mouse cursor might not appear.

can confirm audio issues after few hours of playing as well, and its only in game, music i had paused in background played just fine

another issue that appeared in some custscenes, framerate started going down and down, pause/resume fixed it, but then it slowly started going down again. (as in from lets say 40fps dropping into 10, pause/resume = back to 40 and down)

Other than these issues, game seems to run fine - around 40FPS at 4K at near-max settings on Vega 56

Audio issues after few hours. The graphics settings don't like to stick unless you change something that requires a restart (this is less common now with the 3.16-4.) However I still can't seem to change refresh rate from 60 and I have 165 hz panel (doesn't really bother me because I turned off vsync.)

"The graphics settings don't like to stick unless you change something that requires a restart" this happens on Windows too

"The graphics settings don't like to stick unless you change something that requires a restart" this happens on Windows too

Weird. I never had this problem while on Windows. The weird thing for me is while on Windows different settings "require restart" for instance any change to MSAA at all requires a game restart on Windows while on Linux it does not prompt for a restart. In fact the only thing that "requires a restart" on Linux is texture quality.

Also something I forgot to add to my list of problems is no matter the resolution I get the same frame rate. I can use 720p or 1440p and I get the same 40-100 fps with everything other than grass and MSAA at max with a 1080 ti. I know Nvidia has to be tricked for this game so if that's the reason I can understand. And I've tried turning everything off to see if it's one of the settings causing it to happen and even with everything off framerate is the same no matter the resolution.

I'm having odd issues when trying to use a mouse/keyboard.

The mouse input only seems to be detected when I'm holding down a mouse button - otherwise I can't use the mouse to look around.

Using latest SteamOS beta, client beta, latest proton

about graphics settings not saving, i belive you have to press spacebar to apply them :D never had that issue, neither on windows or linux

I have an issue with Social Club itself.

It starts, says "Loading" for a while then I get the information that I'm in offline mode and therefore cannot play the game.

Installed corefonts by setting my Wineprefix to Proton first (as @jkhsjdhjs posted) - nothing changed.

This is what I get after it is loading for a while:

Can you please help me? Thank you!

about graphics settings not saving, i belive you have to press spacebar to apply them :D never had that issue, neither on windows or linux

Half the time it continuously tells me to press spacebar to apply and the other half it tells me once. No matter if it's continuous or not I leave the menu after pressing space and when I go back to check if it's applied it has not been applied. So everytime I make a change to graphics settings I have to change the texture quality and relaunch the game and then set the texture quality back to desired setting and relaunch again.

On nvidia drivers with a 980-Ti I had a pleasant experience, game worked great out of the box (although the default settings were horrendous, resolution was set to 800x600 and something like that but I jsut had to change that) online also works perfectly fine (though load times can be abysmal there, apparently also common for windows users).

Besides this, the only issue I encountered is that after a few hours of play the sound can start crackling constantly (probably pulseaudio related), restarting the game fixes it though. I have not experienced a single crash.

My experience on my laptop with a 950m was similar, but primusrun did not work (got a directx 10/11 not installed error) so I ran the game with nvidia-xrun instead and it worked exactly as well as on the 980-Ti.

Performance is also stellar, 80-90% of native windows performance reportedly according to benchmarks, and my experience lines up with those numbers it has been a joy to play besides a few more minor issues with the mouse (the mouse cursor/camera movement can be a bit wonky (it has microstutters all over, even if the fps is a steady 60 fps, camera movement feels like it's 30fps), I think I had similar issues on windows though it's probably because the game was designed with controllers in mind, there are no such issues in first person mode.

I had an issue where the game wouldn't launch past the Social Club launcher, and the fix provided by @AlexeyProkhin seemed to get it to at least launch, for what I'm assuming is an issue with the Rockstar Social club, the splash screen progresses to the part of where it's supposed to show, but instantly crashes.
Part where it's supposed to show, as in it sometimes crashes at the rockstar logo, or hangs before the loading begins.
After it crashes, it hangs on:

I'm running Arch, and had success getting it to run on wine + dxvk (albeit small bugs with the visuals, but still got it running). I've also tried the extra step from @steve-todorov to no luck. Anybody else experiencing this?

I have the exact same issue. I have tried collecting logs and this is the best i could come up with. Hope you figure this out as im not nearly smart enough to do it. https://pastebin.com/4NyHeX3V

@TonsOfBricks Have you tried disabling the proton esync feature? Lines 759 to 883 of your log make me think that this could be causing the problem.
To do so, add PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% to the launch options.

@TonsOfBricks, you'll want to give https://github.com/zfigura/wine/blob/esync/README.esync a read and increase the file limit on your system.

Thanks, now I don't have to use any additional launch options when playing GTA V anymore.

Contributing a success story here, feel free to remove if it adds no value:

I just finished building a new PC and installed a fresh copy of Steam along with the rest of Gentoo. After importing my old Steam library, the only changes I had to do to get GTA5 working in 1 click was to set the Proton version to 3.16-4 Beta and increase my file limits on my system. This was a much better experience than my first time around when Proton was announced and released.

I haven't played 3 hours yet to see if the crackling audio bug still persists, but I'm assuming it's still here if others are seeing it. My weird bug that had my Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard showing up as a joystick with axis under libsdl2 seems to have remedied itself somehow. Either some system dependency got fixed or I'm using libinput instead of evdev that fixed it, I'm not sure.

I was having an issue with GTA 5 for the past couple weeks. After 30-40 minutes of online gameplay, I'd get "Rockstar cannot maintain connection to server". If I ignored this and continued playing, the game would crash within another 10 minutes. Failed fix attempts included: restarts, verify integrity of game files, removing and re-downloading the game, different Proton flags, different Proton versions, deleting and re-downloading prefixes, the libgnutls symlink fixes, BIOS updates/downgrads, and re-installing the OS.

In case someone else runs into this issue, I ended up fixing this by deleting all steam-related files from my user profile (except the steamapps/appmanifest_*.acf files and steamapps/common), then running Steam and letting it re-install itself. So far I've had this game running for ~4 hours without it crashing.

Another success story. I have completed the game (story missions) on Arch Linux without any issues. The only fix I had to apply is File Limit (DefaultLimitNOFILE). No graphical issues with binary NVIDIA drivers and Proton 3.16-4. No issues at all and performance seems to be same like I have played on Windows 10.

My system specs:
Arch Linux
Kernel: 4.19.4
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
GPU Drivers: nvidia 415.22 (changed few minor versions between playing sessions)

If systemd would change default value for DefaultLimitNOFILE to something that GTA V could use, this game could be white-listed I think. I have seen a lot of people run it without any issues.

@adomas187 except it did...
First bumped to 256K https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10244 and then to 512K https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10780.
Debian based distro set it to 1024K so someone would have to try if 512K is enough.

That's great to hear!
So starting with systemd 240 we'll have a default hard limit of 512K.

Last outstanding issue that I've run into:

When the game is running in proton, it seems to be unable to do anything that requires the ability to host a direct connection. In most circumstances this is not noticeable as the game will fall back to using rockstar servers when direct is not available.

However, if you have multiple players behind the same home router, they will experience issues, as the game expects to be able to use p2p functionality between clients on a private network.

Issues include:

• Inability to join an invite-only or friend-only session hosted by either (other players can join fine)
• Inability to join a public (or hosted by another player) session if either player is already in it
  • As soon as one connects, the other cannot join, and vice-versa
  • this can be worked around consistently by disabling UPnP on the home router
• Inability to join a heist hosted by either (even when started from a public or 3rd-party hosted session)

This was tested and confirmed with 4 accounts at 4 computers at 2 locations. Tested with respective firewalls enabled/disabled.

Here are the logs for 2 computers behind the same router attempting to connect to each other's friend-only sessions: Comp 1 | Comp 2

(This issue does not manifest if one of the computers is Windows [tested W10 build 1709]. It can join or be joined to local friend-only/private sessions as you'd expect)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is true with and without the libgnutls symlinks fix.

Also forgot to mention that this has been an issue since I was first able to play GTA 5 with wine-staging + dxvk (March 2018) before proton was even out.

Update 2019 01 03: still an issue with Proton 3.16-6 Beta
Update 2019 03 31: issue still present in Proton 4.2-1

Sometimes, when I alt tab, the game crashes with a dialog saying something about "unimplemented d3x feature". I think this has been discussed somewhere.

When I alt tab out of GTA 5 and back in, when I use my gamepad, pressing A (3 in my gamepad) starts recording and it makes the character runs at the same time, and pressing LT (L2 in my gamepad) inside a car it brings up the weapon crosshair instead of braking and reversing. The problem stays until I restarted the game.

I'm using a generic twin USB gamepad

and there is another user on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/a6lz2m/gta_v_runs_great_loving_this_so_much/ebx4xtj/ with this same problem as me using a Xbox One controller.

Try pressing the alt key. It seems the game thinks the key is pressed when you alt tab back in.

Yep, this is a game bug, not a Proton issue.

I can confirm that it is not. Works fine on windows.

I'm almost certain I experienced it on Windows.

Either way, it's a minor issue at best. Nothing actually happens, the game does the slow-motion thing for a few seconds, and double-tapping the ALT key allows you to continue playing normally.

Yep I haven’t experienced it on Windows either.

The issue can be reproduced on windows if using mouse/keyboard simultaneously with a gamepad. For instance, try moving mouse when pressing A on the gamepad. I played with a steam controller and constantly triggered the recordings..

@minecraft2048 do you use the big picture mode, by any chance? If so, try disabling the generic/xbox controller support.

Hey guys, i had my game run just fine in the past and had this issue before where i could not get past the Social Club window. I installed corefonts, made the dxvk.conf file and set launch options and still no luck. What made it work for me in the past is changing the value of ""PROTON_USE_WINED3D11" in the user_settings.example.py to 0.

but now even with that value set to 0, the issue i had pops up again. anyone else having this problem?

My Specs:
AMD FX Core 6300
RAM DDR3: 11.7 GB
Nvidia GTX 660

I switched my corsair strafe RGB keyboard to BIOS mode by holding the f1 key and windows lock key at the same time for 3 seconds.

and i got GTA 5 to run again. I thought this was an issue i should mention with the corsair RGB users.

This game is running great, but I'd like to report one problem I've had with it. Even once GTAV is running, GTAVLauncher.exe completely takes up one core of mine, reducing my performance. Killing the process speeds up the game significantly and has no other effect. I ran perf top on the process and found that the program is using d3d9 for something, which is taking up all of the CPU time.

I ran perf top on the process and found that the program is using d3d9 for something, which is taking up all of the CPU time.

According to process list, it should actually have an effect: this process is run by python's interpreter from proton launcher script and this is the only way to determine whether the game has finished or not. If you kill this process, the steam will unable to track the game process (and to find out, whether it is launched or not). I don't think it is good, but if it really takes so much of CPU, I think, we should make another issue about that and make the proton script for gta5 track GTA5.exe instead of launcher if it is possible.

Also, killing this process on my machine did not do a thing, I had 75 fps before and I had it after as well. Archlinux, i7 2700k, 1060 gtx. What are you specs? Are you sure that killing exactly this process gives you performance gain?

@vityafx Killing the process doesn't have an effect on you because you have a much better PC. I am always limited by my CPU, so freeing up one core improves my performance. If your CPU isn't being fully utilized, it has headroom for that process to eat CPU cycles. Also, steam tracks the process just fine w/o GTAVLauncher, because steam tracks child processes as well.

has no other effect

Do you lose cloud save functionality though?

@octinhuh Please uninstall AMDGPU-Pro that driver, it is not recommended for gaming since most game manufacturers rely on mesa, for example: Life is Strange (native) with amdgpu-pro is not playable at all. i had already reported this problem to the amdvlk developers, but they never really said anything about it, so the driver for me remains garbage.

@Guy1524 and @Alexander88207 thank you for steeering me down the right path. I've been using the pro driver for quite a long time now, and this was the only time I've encountered a compatibility problem.

That said, I've uninstalled it, and my issue was resolved.

no problem @octinhuh :)

Does the Self Radio work for anyone? The station does not appear for me in the list of stations.
I've placed the MP3s in $steamlibrary/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/User Music/ and did a quick- and full scan.
It appears to write to /steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Rockstar Games/GTA V/User Music/usertracks.db and usertracks.dbs but the files remains empty.
Using Proton 3.16-6 Beta.

Had to use @AlexeyProkhin's workaround and install corefonts using WINEPREFIX=/path/to/steam-library/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx winetricks corefonts to make the game window appear.

Then the game hung up at "Initializing Social Club..." (after the rockstar logo appeared) and showed Social Club Error (Error: 17) after a while. Afterwards I tried to launch it using Proton 3.7-4 Beta and couldn't get past the Rockstar Logo, the game crashes after 5 seconds. I then switched back to Proton 3.7-3, game still crashing. I validated my game files and as this didn't help I redownloaded and reinstalled GTA, again with the workaround and by installing corefonts using winetricks. But I can't get past the Rockstar Logo anymore.

Anyone with the same problem and maybe with a solution?

The steam log that was created by renaming user_settings.sample.py to user_settings.py in <steam library>/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7 can be found here: https://gist.github.com/jkhsjdhjs/209e2e2436453184a036f63c014baed6

EDIT: Sadly installing dxvk 0.70 didn't change anything.
EDIT2: I'm on Arch Linux 4.18.4 with an i5-7600K and a GTX660 with nvidia 396.54.

Did you ever get past this? I am running into the same exact issue on Archlinux -- 4.20.0 and Nvidia 415.25-5.

Thanks

@securitybreach Yes, by increasing the file descriptor limit as described here: https://github.com/zfigura/wine/blob/esync/README.esync#L9-L33
Although Arch Linux is using systemd, increasing the limit in /etc/security/limits.conf did work for me.

Also: systemd increased the hard limit to 512K in release 240, which is currently in testing: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/systemd/

Thanks, I will try it again tomorrow (I uninstalled it earlier so I have to redownload it).

No DirectX 10 or 11 adapter or runtime found. Please install latest DirectX runtime or install a compatible DirectX 10 or 11 video card.

I've got corefonts installed, and I'm using the gta_dvxk.conf listed above. I've tried a few other options, but I get this error every single time. I may be doing something wrong, this is the first time I've had to mess with Proton settings.

Since Proton 3.16-4 you don't need to use a gta_dxvk.conf anymore (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/dxvk/commit/60a03a29599bf1f8c73efdbcf288e91ef261bc58). Besides it doesn't seem like your PC is equipped with an nvidia card in the first place, according to your system information.
Since you're running Ubuntu the file descriptor limit also shouldn't cause any problems for esync.

Can you post the launch options you're currently using? Does the error also occur without any launch options?

That worked, thanks again.

Works like a charm now, thank you. It was indeed loading radeon drivers previously.

Im having the same issue on Fedora 29 KDE with nvidia drivers. Once i run the game, go to options, graphics and run a test im getting around 30FPS, but when game restarts from benchmark into "normal" mode, closing steam process and running the benchmark again im getting around 100FPS. I tried everything so far, its not steam overlay related, compositor or other things. Its GTALauncher.exe eating alot of CPU, but only when steam client is running in background.

what does the command ulimit -Hn say to you?

1048576

I tried with and without esync and it didn't make any difference. Thing that makes the difference is wether steam client is running or not.

I'm having an issue with GTA V when played in Proton. If I tab out (Alt+Tab) and then tab back in, my mouse is not locked to the game. This makes the game unplayable after tabbing in and out.

I have made no modifications to Proton or GTA V files. Proton version is default (3.7-8) EDIT: 3.16-4 works better and the issue is less likely to occur but still occurs under half the time.

Happens to me as well. I get around it by retrying the alt tab a few more times or getting in/out of full screen with alt+enter a couple times.

Change the mouse input to windows in the in game settings.

Trying to run GTA V through STEAM with Proton, both main and beta.

Try safe mode, same thing.

@BloodyIron Did you ever find a workaround to this issue? I played GTA Online for more than 100 hours via proton, but today it stopped working out of the blue. I reinstalled my game and let proton create a clean wineprefix, didn't restore my old save game, but it's still crashing when loading online.
I updated my system on 9th the last time and played online afterwards, working fine.
Singleplayer is still working btw.

Looks like there might be an issue as I also today was playing GTA:Online without issue, closed it and relaunched and then was met with the same issue... anyone know if the problem actually lies with an update from Proton, Steam, or Rockstar?

Hmmmmm, that makes this whole issue a little odd... Might try GTA online again today and see what happens - maybe even a reinstall of my OS (for what it's worth, I'm using Manjaro).

Sorry my formatting is shoddy, I'm on my mobile and am not too familiar with GitHub.

I confirm issue with GTA5 Online - starting from 2019-01-11 crashing after try start Online session (even if it is private session). Single player is working OK.

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x145e98000 in 64-bit code (0x0000000140a29bc9).

Tried with Proton 3.7-8, 3.16-6 Beta, wine-staging 3.18 - the same. Game is loading a little bit further with online private session - there is default apartment animation before crash. Probably it is related to some minor change on game network handling, but wine/proton is crashing because of this...

The game was working fine until yesterday evening. I can't recall if there was a Steam update or a GTA V update, but the game crashes on the loading screen and falls back to the Social Club with a generic error. Please find attached crash log from syslog.

Last Record Update about 16 hours ago (January 11, 2019 – 21:36:18 UTC)

Maybe, my game was absolutely not working 24 hours ago though and that last update was 16 hours ago, coincidence? Or more likely the culprit?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is this likely to be fixed anytime soon? Or, has GTA:V worked before, then stopped working and then working again? I'm just wanting to get my hopes either dashed right away or remain optimistic lol ^^

@tunanachos i will download the game again and test it maybe i will encounter the same error.

@Alexander88207 not to disappoint you or attempt to stop you trying but I tried this yesterday (redownloading) and unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Keep us posted and good luck

Now i have the same problem, after loading the online mode, the game hangs and crashes.

Same address for the read as for me... I even got the same appartment animation with invite only session! It also crashes if I try to create a new character when it zooms in on the character.

Hi guys, not sure if this will help you at all (sadly for me, I cannot get it to work still) but it seems updating your Proton to the latest version may help;

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/af9qt4/how_many_of_you_are_able_to_launch_and_play/

I asked if others on Linux were able to play and by the looks of it, a good few people are able to play.

Why don't you guys give it a go and let us know what the outcome is, all the best.

edit: I feel that these people might be talking about Singleplayer and not Online as I still cannot launch Online play.

Can confirm, I've tried to run on the most recent version of proton and I still have the issue. Here's the full stacktrace:

https://mgble.sh/t/0MGBKTZL.txt > Stacktrace from steam
https://mgble.sh/t/QMEOUrzV.txt > From launcher.log

I've also tried to use steam-native. This just closed the game with nothing showing up.

For the record, I have a RTX 2080 on the most recent stable driver version. 410.93, Kernel 4.19 running Manjaro.

Hello @tunanachos, I'm a moderator and not a Proton developer, so I can't speak on the technical side of most issues. In general, if someone can isolate the root cause of the issue(s), help wine/proton devs understand it, and ideally propose a fix, then the fix can go to upstream wine and cherry picked to proton from there.

Thank-you for your polite and helpful reply. I will keep my eye on the Discord server and this post. Fingers crossed for us all. Thanks again @kisak-valve

I was able to launch just fine previously, selecting "Play GTA Online" from the launch option. This now causes a crash. I've found however that loading into singleplayer from the main menu, then choosing "Go" under Online allows it to load fine. No crashes. Bit of an extra step, but it does work.

Not sure what the actual issue is, but this seems like an asset loading issue. Once the game is initialized it seems to plod along fine.

I have just tried this myself (loading into SP first, pausing, going to 'online', selecting 'GO') however it still crashes for me.

Could you tell us a bit more about your computer? What OS you're using etc?

Not to doubt you but you're 100% sure you're playing GTA:Online as of today, with other players, using Linux, without issue?

I'm sorry to sound so skeptical but I've had at least 10 or 15 people (this thread not included) say they are no longer able to join GTA:O while being on Linux in the past few days - you are the first I'm hearing of not having this problem.

Yes, I am absolutely sure I'm on Linux and playing with other players, as
of about 8 pm EST yesterday evening. I'm running Arch Linux with 4.20 Zen
kernel, proton 3.16-6 beta, 415.25 nvidia drivers. Steam is run under
"runtime" option. Im currently busy but in an hour or so i can record a
video for you if you would like further proof of my claim. Using the exact
options you described i am able to load online and play.

The only other thing I can think of is that my launch command is
"PROTON_NOESYNC=1 %command%"

Are you using local saves or cloud saves? I've looked into it a little bit and the issue seems to originate from the GTAV.exe binary itself. I'm running Manjaro and don't need to use the PROTON_NOESYNC=1 for it to work. Did you use it before?

I am using cloud saves, and yes ive always needed to disable esync, despite
having my file limits configured properly.

@kruesephiikz I'm sorry if my message came off a little insulting, it wasn't my intent and I do believe you now and didn't have any reason to doubt you other than the fact nobody else has been able to launch the online side of GTA for the past 2 or 3 days.

I'm interested in how you're able to get on without issue yet so many others are not.

This is good news though if you are able to get on - as there were murmurs on the internet it may have been an intentional move by Rockstar (as, apparently, anti-cheat software is tricky to make for Linux)
however I found this hard to believe.

Thank-you for your time and reply, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this soon! All the best.

Not at all. I'm just typing on my phone so I like to keep my messages as
short as possible. I was and am not insulted and you have my apologies if
my shortness caused you to feel insulted. I do not believe this to be a
deliberate move by rockstar, just a simple issue that has cropped up for
reasons as yet unknown. Once. Y bus ride home is finished I'll dig a little
deeper and see if I can find any reason it works fine for me.

Haha, please, no apologies needed! I just wanted to be sure you didn't take my message as curt, rude or insulting.

Please don't feel obliged to rush - I'm very grateful for your time as when it comes to computers and tech I'm utterly useless (have been using Linux for 3+ years and I still don't know much about anything!)

Anyway, to get back to topic; assuming my Proton command is correct ? I have cloud saves enabled but I'm not sure about 'runtime'...

Could you explain to me how I can 'enable' steam to run under this 'runtime' you mentioned? I've Googled it but couldn't find any commands or instructions on how to do so.

Kind regards

Tunanachos.

Two things i've noticed are related to ntdll and wininet.

I'll mess around with a few proton configuration settings to see what I can get...for the record, this is what i'll be using to do this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/frank/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16 Beta/dist/share/default_pfx" WINEPATH="/home/frank/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16 Beta/dist/bin/wine64" winecfg

Update: I've already noticed a difference.

https://mgble.sh/i/jS63Fwn1.png - Using Beta version
https://mgble.sh/i/O2yX76Cn.png - Using 3.16

Additionally, ntdll and wininet are both causing this crash.

You can enable steam runtime by running steam from a terminal with STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam %u

Absolutely wonderful news...I have been able to get this to work, albeit a very short period of time.

https://mgble.sh/i/5xU87UYh.png

I've added a override for the xaudio2_7 library and have found some additional information regarding this issue, which seems to have been a issue before particularly with steam, which can greatly rule out the risk of rockstar intentionally doing this.

After monitoring the game booting up through the steam terminal with STEAM_RUNTIME enabled, I noticed that these two occur before the game is booted up on the launcher. Considering the other libraries were related to networking and that this was also related to networking, I decided to look this up to see what information is available, and adjust it as needed. I found this link.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/9gu1m9/cant_get_gta_v_to_run_via_lutris_r_social_club/

[0918/122832.283:ERROR:main_delegate.cc(726)] Could not load cef_extensions.pak
[0918/122832.359:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(157)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8

There's a a whole host of solutions that have popped up, including a issue with steam (having the same problems, including being able to play offline but breaks when you go online)

I tried to run steam in offline mode and running GTA V Online. This resulted in the game not being verified and would not run, but no crash. I'm assuming this has to do with some sort of client verification going on with a bad request that wine cannot handle, particularly with ntdll and wininet.

I'll update as I find more information, however here's what I added:

https://mgble.sh/i/gOo5PNHY.png

Proton 3.16

Hi there @vipesz that is great news (about it being unlikely an intentional move from Rockstar)

I found the command steam STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam worked. (When I typed in STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam %u I got an error) https://i.imgur.com/aYf3AMe.png

Aside from that (and forgive my ignorance and stupidity) I'm not too sure what else to do but wait for the smart folk to figure it out.

Hi there @vipesz that is great news (about it being unlikely an intentional move from Rockstar)

I found the command steam STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam worked. (When I typed in STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam %u I got an error) https://i.imgur.com/aYf3AMe.png

Aside from that (and forgive my ignorance and stupidity) I'm not too sure what else to do but wait for the smart folk to figure it out.

Thank-you so much for the help and update, fingers crossed & warm, kind regards

Steam launch every time with runtime

you can see it if you just enter steam

Oh! So just launching Steam normally will enable runtime? A Reddit user asked if I had it enabled when originally reporting the crash so I assumed it was something to be toggled (thanks for the clarification!)

I'll forward this onto the Proton discord channel :)

@Alexander88207

This is not true. It may be the case for some distros, but on Manjaro it is disabled for me. It depends.

https://mgble.sh/i/neB84hZV.png

@tunanachos Can I get a invite link? You can add me on Discord. Frank#6617

@vipesz Manjaro have their own runtime for steam

@vipesz absolutely, the following link should be an open invite for all;

https://discordapp.com/invite/uuwK9EV

I'm an idiot. I had forgotten that I'd compiled a drop-in replacement for Proton which contained a bunch of wine fixes. https://github.com/kakra/wine-proton It lives there. Basically you overwrite Proton's pre-bundled files and you've got that to work with.

I know it's a messy, hacky way of doing things, but it's made my gaming experience much smoother. There are thousands of comments to diff, and it's gonna take a while to find out exactly which one even allows me to play, let alone continuing from that point and getting "Play GTA Online" from launch to work again.

Send a search party in a week if you don't hear from me.

I'm about to sleep but will absolutely give this a go tomorrow morning (assuming that I can figure it all out).

So am I right on the assumption that some of the files (for lack of better words) you have in there, something in there is making GTA:online working for you?

as I said I'm about to sleep but would be interested if anyone else can give this a go and see what happens, otherwise I will give it a shot tomorrow morning an update (most likely with another question on how to fix something I've now broken lol!)

Thanks kindly for the update and the link @kruesephiikz once again kind regards, all the best.

After 20 hours of constantly grinding to try to get this to work, I've finally found a potential and very promising fix.

I tried the above wine-proton patch, which, by itself, did not work. A few modifications had to of been done to get this to work. However, I can confirm that without a doubt rockstar is not blocking Linux users from playing online.

This can be achieved by loading into single player, then going to solo session, load in, find new session.

I'll release the fix and a guide on how to fix this shortly. Stay tuned. Here's some proof:

https://mgble.sh/i/2avvqUXY.png > Loading in on a private session

@Guy1524 did you find any solution to your problem other than killing the process? I think im running into same situation but i can't get it to run again after GTAVLauncher is killed.

@vipesz This is very exciting news! Will update my Reddit posts too.

I'm posting to leave a potential (albeit very hacky) 'fix'

a Reddit user left me a comment here

Saying;

I made an account just to say this, because I care. You can get online using this workaround for now until there is a more permanent solution. Run a trace on GTAV.exe while the game is loading. You'll be able to get online, then you can detach it. Load online from SP.

Start the game, use a task manager to find the PID of GTAV.exe, and use this command: sudo strace -p ##### Where ### is the PID. Once you get online just ctrl + C or close the terminal

I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it works - but a few people have claimed this works so I'm putting this out here for anyone itching for an update/fix (like me :smiling_imp: )

All my best,

tunanachos

@kisak-valve I think I've finally isolated the point where the game crashes, would you be able to bring attention to this and see if I'm correct? If not, the full strace can be uploaded.

Also, just wanna make a note here, thank you to everyone on Discord who has been working with Frank and I trying to isolate this.

https://pastebin.com/5JQdimLb

@tunanachos still crashes for me even with this method unfortunately :(

edit: nevermind, strace was attached to the wrong process! it does work!

I've been having the same issues with online play as others have mentioned; the last time I was able to connect normally was on January 10th. It's worth noting that I tested this on Windows on the 12th and I was experiencing the same issue - loading screen for 3-4 minutes, freeze for a couple of seconds, and then a rockstar social club error message.

Attaching an strace as per https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-454572358 does seem to allow me to get online.

After only about twenty minutes of playing, the game completely froze up (the rest of my desktop was frozen up as well, so I couldn't even kill it) forcing me to hard-reboot my computer; now when I launch the game, I have no sound. The sound of gunfire/sirens plays during the initial preloader, but after that there is no sound from the game.

@hswhite33 Did you kill the strace after loading in? GTAV will slow and lag up (and likely crash) unless you kill the strace. Let us know as I haven't tested it yet.

all the best

tunanachos.

@tunanachos Yes, I killed the strace as soon as I got into the game as it was making the framerate unplayable.

I changed the game's audio settings to disable muting when losing focus which seems to have resolved the sound issue (the game plays a little bit awkwardly with my window manager so I could definitely see this being the cause of that particular issue)

@hswhite33 Just out of curiosity what window manager are you using? I use i3wm and (before this issue) never had much of an issue.

Are you having more luck now with it not crashing? Or is it much the same?

I haven't been able to try GTA yet, but will do soon.

Please report this along with relevant strace output to upstream wine, Proton is not the only fork affected.

@tunanachos
I confirm that strace workaround is working. Thanks a lot!

One line version of this workaround:

1. In gnome-terminal run:

until ps -C GTA5.exe >/dev/null; do sleep 1; echo "Waiting for GTA5.exe process..."; done; strace -p $(ps -C GTA5.exe -o pid=)

1. Start GTA5 via Steam (could be directly to Online mode)

Command is waiting for GTA5.exe process. When it will be available - strace is launched with proper PID as argument.

At least on my computer strace is not impact performance, so I leave it working. If it is not the case for you - you need stop strace manually.

Please report this along with relevant strace output to upstream wine, Proton is not the only fork affected.
@aurieh
I reported a bug in Wine-Bugzilla:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46474

Okay, so my update;

The strace command 'fix' works; I had a little trouble getting the PID but thanks to the above command from @Dannniello I was able to at least find the PID and run and strace on it.

I timed out originally when connecting to online, it then put me in a very laggy singleplayer, then (without prompting it to do so) reconnected me to online mode (where I was able to load in, without issue and have been running around happily for the last 20 minutes) .

In regards to @aurieh post, I would and will if I can be told how to do it, export the results and put it in the right format for the people over at Wine/Proton, sorry to say I'm not much good with techy stuff & I find myself being the messenger rather than the professor :wink:

Will stay subbed to this thread, as I would be interested in finding out more and learning a little maybe - but for now this is a very acceptable-work around as it has worked for me (after a little struggle) and several others.

Thanks to all of you for your time, effort, hours of tinkering and work - this is what makes Linux great to me!

Kind and warmest regards, once again.

_(I'd like to leave a brief edit here, I am using voice to text and my mobile so please forgive any formatting or grammatical / spelling errors.

While the 'workaround' does enable you to get back online (which is great) the game still crashes occasionally while tabbing out and changing servers (anything that requires going to a load screen there's a bit of a risk).

as I said I understand this is a workaround and not a fix, and I'm endlessly grateful for the people that provided such information to us - but this does still obviously need a fix)_

To increase perfomance just kill strace after gta v online loaded :)

The strace workaround works for me too. I added -o /dev/null to strace to hide its output.
Also I had to run strace as root.

Thanks a lot, it helped solve the problem. I added sleep 500; killall strace to avoid performance problems. But now the game freezes over a random period of time, only its complete killing helps. Nobody came across this?

I haven't had any hard crashes, but I have had softlocks where the game was still interactable, but could not be actually played. Are they hard sudden freezes that left no interactability, or was the game still technically running, but stuck?
I have encountered no hard freezes.

@nggjamie yes, while I was only able to play a short while, shortly after closing the strace command my game also locked up.

Couple of things I'd like to mention; firstly, after resetting my computer and trying again (and letting the command run for maybe 20 minutes while I was joining lobbies and doing other stuff) I had no lock up.

Secondly, this is obviously by no means of fix and more of a workaround for a bug that will need to be addressed either by wine, proton or both.

It is rather buggy playing GTA online with this new strace method, but currently it's all we have.

On the bright side, I'm guessing it's fixable and probably won't take too long for an update, again either from wine, proton or both.

Kind regards,

Tuna

It is rather buggy playing GTA online with this new strace method, but currently it's all we have.

No. If this is the case for you, then this means that there's more to it then initially thought. If you are getting this with it being buggy, please describe a bit more of what exactly happens as your specific strace may be very valuable.

I added sleep 500; killall strace to avoid performance problems. But now the game freezes over a random period of time, only its complete killing helps.

Does the game crash with a strace for you though? It's supposed to reduce performance.

@KuJo-Ger "Unless you can reproduce the issue with current (4.0-rc6+) plain wine/wine-staging and provide the required basic information [1] this bug will be marked invalid"

This can be reproduced (as it is on my computer) with this version of wine. That is what i'm running.

@vipesz

He could be referring to soft locks, which aren't particularly new to GTA Online+Proton. I've experienced softlocks a number of times while switching sessions under certain circumstances, though they do sometimes clear themselves up, so I believe it may be a Rockstar thing.

I did encounter a new softlock whilst playing earlier and launching a bunker resupply mission. The laptop screen overlay refused to dismiss itself, and I was even able to rejoin a new session. However, the screen remained even with the sound indicating what I was doing was working, and the map appearing. Past that I haven't encountered anything else I would specifically otherwise call a "Freeze" since using the strace method. We'll probably need more time/people to testify toward it being stable before we can definitively call anything an issue with the workaround itself.

@NGGJamie

I can't say that I have had that. The only type of lockup I have ever experienced is when going into my steam menu/overlay for the first time.

@vipesz
Sorry for not being clearer, aside from quite a noticeable performance drop while the strace command is running the only other notifiable issue is it (that is, the game) locking up entirely (but not the OS).

As well as it crashing again on a load screen (but I feel that might be related to the original issue we're talking about).

Generally from what I saw it seem to be running quite well, but I only had about an hour to play today - and only got about half an hour's worth of game time in.

Can probably be of more use and help at the weekend :)

As soon as I kill strace, a random period of time passes and it ceases to give signs of life completely, the background music in the game also stops and the system itself offers a forced close.
While strace is working, everything is in order, but the FPS drops from 90-100 to 20-28.

Would like to add a +1 to this, maybe it was just bad luck (in fact, GTA:O has frozen before the update from time to time, but rarely)

However, I asked my partner to play last night (on my computer) and GTA:O locked up about 30 - 45 minutes after the strace was killed (while in the in-game cell phone internet browser)

As I said, GTA has locked up before this issue came about - however I'm just passing on what I've been told and experienced.

Sorry for the possibly useless update, I'm trying to be as helpful as best but my time and resources are more than limited.

I'd also like to +1 this. After about an hour or so the game froze. Sound was still going for about 10 minutes and then that stopped also. I tried alt-tabbing out to open system monitor and kill it but it didn't want to let anything be on top of it other than just to see it. Everytime I would try to click on system monitor it went back behind the game. So I ended up having to restart my computer.

@IM-OUT-OF-ORDER @tunanachos

If you can put the straces here when that occurs and the 2,500 lines before that, that would be greatly beneficial. I suggest hastebin or pastebin.

Problem is, once loaded into GTA I'm pretty certain we're all killing strace. I've tried to attached strace again after it froze but got an error (forgive me, it was late and I just closed my computer down, if it happens again I'll take note of it and update this comment)

I'll check out the man page for strace but should I just keep it constantly running and hope for a crash? Because I played a little just keeping strace running and the frame-rate drop was quite significant (understandable lol)

or can I strace a program that's locked up? I'm just unsure of how to get the right info for you.

Once the weekend comes around I should have a little more free time and be more active on Discord once again.

As I said, I will update with anything worthwhile.

Kind regards to all,

tunanachos

I've got a strace from the crash in-game. I've not trimmed the strace, appears to be the last 47293 lines.

The segfault is right at the bottom at line 47268:
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x200000037} ---

gta_strace_bug.log

There was nothing in syslog other than the steam client losing track of the PID.

FYI, mid-game it was starting to lag noticeably (frame skipping), so I detached & re-attached strace. About half an hour later it crashed

Crash on launch exception attached
gta_exception_17jan2019.log

It's not trimmed but this is my strace.

strace.log

My strace file (I managed to record it into text while it crashes) but the problem is, the file is 600MB+ and I struggle to open it, let alone paste it anywhere - is there a command or way to trim this?

Does the strace end where the crash occurred? If so, you could do something like tail -n (number of lines) strace.log

That would output the last N lines in the file, and you could redirect that into a file.

Edit: Sorry, my brain turned off for a second. I meant tail

Last night I found out it is not impossible to get a public online session under Proton 3.16-4 without strace.

I was successful starting single player, starting a solo online session, then finding public session with players. In single player mode I made a settings change in the graphics menu that wanted to restart to take effect. I thought, why not try to start a solo session and just reboot the game by forcing a crash? But this time I was in! I could not believe it! First time I searched for a public session I got a solo public session. Searched again and got one with people.

I didn’t play for very long because I wanted to see if I could reproduce it. I have not been able to. Attempting to start a solo session always crashes panning to my apartment, or on the apartment establishing shot.

I can't even start a solo session without strace.

It takes exactly 30 minutes (+/- 1 second) for the game to crash:
Jan 21 19:08:15 polar steam.desktop[3720]: GameAction [AppID 271590, ActionID 1] : LaunchApp changed task to ShowLaunchOption with ""

Jan 21 19:38:14 polar steam.desktop[3720]: AL lib: (EE) ReleaseThreadCtx: Context 0x7e474aa0 current for thread being destroyed, possible leak!

the strace workaround enables you to get onto Online, however the past couple of times I've tried this last week the game will freeze up (seemingly randomly too) sometimes while in the phone menu, doing heists, driving about - not even in 'high-stress' times (i.e, big explosions, lots of cars etc) just randomly.

I was able to play for over 4 hours the other day, however, today and Saturday when I last tried, I kept crashing (3 or 4 times within a half hour)

I was able to get the end of the crash, copied and pasted

absolutely no idea what this means but I hope it helps towards a fix.

GTA V works correctly on Intel HD Graphics integrated graphics using the variable PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, there is no need for another, unless there is performance difference.
Specifications:
Last version of SteamOS Beta;
Steam Beta;
Proton 3.16-6 Beta;
HD Graphics 530.

@MuriloStrike Does your integrated graphics support Vulkan?

@aaronfranke, according to the Intel site, yes, it supports Vulkan! but I do not know to what extent the existing SteamOS drivers are "good" for this game and Vulkan itself... I spent a few minutes playing to test and the game is performing reasonably well for my hardware, but when I enter a car and accelerates too much, the game crashes and closes emitting a Page Fault when trying to write in memory 0x00000000... I played the same game in Gentoo for a while and I was stable, I do not know if this bug is responsible for SteamOS or some update of the game itself, but I will be reinstalling in Gentoo so that I can perform the necessary tests.

If you set ingame the used DX version 9 it is okay otherwise you should be using Vulkan since the DX10 & DX11 implementation still suck.
DXVK is the way to go and to get good perfomance. You aren't using DXVK since the variable PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 is used.

@ihkN, so I understand that I'm not using DXVK, but here comes the confusion, if I use the game it crashes when starting. According to Intel, my iGPU supports Vulkan and my drivers are in a supported version, but in GTA V, if I use DXVK, it just does not work.

Interestingly, I think I’ve fixed it (will let you know if it crashes). Whilst you’re in game, check your Graphics settings & switch it to DirectX 11 (mine was set to 10). Game will restart & I’ve been playing for about an hour straight now without an strace running.

Cheers,
David

The Game is crasing after the syscalls of ˋntdll.dllˋ. I‘ve looked for similar issues but their workarounds don‘t fix GTA Online. I don‘t even understand why a tracing program helps in that case.

I don’t think if is a dxvk related problem.

@ihkN forgive me for asking, but is this the online crash or the random locking up crash?

On the few times I have played this game since this issue arisen there are two separate issues for me at least,the online connection issue that everyone else seems to be having and the game randomly locking up becoming completely unresponsive. There is no rhyme or reason for the locking up; it happened while I was finishing a heist setup, in the phone menu and wild buying weapons from the ammu-nation.. sometimes after a few minutes others after a few hours very strange...

I too have this issue in GTA online. I can play for extended an time then the game locks up. I'running NVIDIA 415.25 on a 970.

I guess this is a threading deadlocking issue, using strace sets off timing enough that deadlocks appear a lot less frequently. Sound and game world updates still seem to run, I can hear pedestrians and traffic. Might very well be an issue in the graphics stack.

I was able to get two crashes (lock-ups) while strace was running, I'm not sure if they'll be of any use but I saved the last few lines of the terminal output and have uploaded them here;

https://pastebin.com/TN2vQ0ME

https://pastebin.com/RqqKmVfQ

Hopefully this might help work out what is causing the lock-up

Try this: Instead of using strace, set WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% in the launch options. I don't know if this will "fix" it, but it's at least easier than using strace.

"WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%" seems to work better than attaching strace.
I just had a near 2 hour run with no noticeable difference in framerate to what I get in single player.

One thing to note - I did get an instant freeze using the above launch command when loading direct to online. I had to go single player, then switch for it to work.

One thing to note - I did get an instant freeze using the above launch command when loading direct to online. I had to go single player, then switch for it to work.

So, was this tested much on Online? As I understand it the two issues with GTA:Online at the moment are the connecting first time to online (strace workaround) and the random crashing/locking up of the process - did you find this helped connecting online? Or prevent it from crashing while online? Or did you only test this on Singleplayer for 2 hours?

I ask, as, as I understand it the main/key issues people seem to be having at the moment is the above mentioned crashes/lockups. Apologies if I'm mistaken.

At least for me it makes me able to connect to online, like the strace workaround but easier. I don't know if it has any impact on the other crashes/lockups as I have not had any of those before using it either.

The winedbg workaround seems to work better than the strace workaround so far.
Been playing for a few hours in a public session now, no lockups.

Exciting news will give this a go and report back ASAP! 🙂

I was able to play online for about an hour but then had to reset (a hacker put a UFO on my head lol)

I reset and loaded GTA back up (using ’strace’ method to ensure I could load online without the original crash happening) but shortly after GTA locked up as it has been doing..

I'm currently playing again with 'strace' running to hopefully catch the last few lines again if and when it locks up.. wish I had better news

edit: strace output; https://pastebin.com/4kLG46J7

Played using WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% instead of strace. No issues during the entirety of the ~4 hours I played Online. Performance seemed to be identical to before the rockstar update.

@lectrode can you confirm my launch options are correct?

As, twice in about half an hour my GTAV has frozen (lock-up) but that has been with strace running.

Cannot understand why this is,my HDD are in good health and I reinstalled GTA the other week..

They are, and why shouldn't they?
As far as I understood your comment you had to reset your game because a hacker put an UFO on your head. But after that you didn't try running GTA V with just winedbg, you always used strace.
BTW: I didn't try loading GTA Online directly, always launched story mode first.

I didn't edit the launch options or change them, both times GTA:O have crashed for me I have had the launch options set to WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%

both times killed strace once I launched (only after the lock-up did I keep it running in the hopes of recording anything useful)

@tunanachos You might want to delete the Proton prefix in compatdata and try again. I've had the prefix become corrupted in the past and spent way too long trying to troubleshoot everything else. Also verify integ of game files.

both times killed strace once I launched

This still sounds like you're using strace when starting the game. You shouldn't need this if you're using the launch option.

Thanks, I did launch it twice without strace then after it crashed, ran it with strace to attempt to record anything useful :-)

Will give this a go now, thank-you very much for the clarification and help guys :+1: :smile:

Edit: just a quick update I was able to play last night for an hour and today again for another 30 minutes without it crashing or needing to use any commands to successfully connect online.

Great big kudos for figuring this out everyone.

winedbg workaround worked better but the game still locked up after a while

Odd.. I haven't had a lockup since using the aforementioned command.

Specs? OS? Display manager and WM? Anything to help us help you would be good.

The first time I started GTA V, it could not connect to the Social Club for some reason (Error code: 6000.87), however restarting the game fixed the issue. It seems to run fine now (both offline and online - when using the WINEDLLOVERRIDES workaround), although there are some wine: Unhandled page fault errors in the log. However, I am having one unfortunate issue: Sometimes, when I play GTA V, the whole Steam client crashes on SIGSEGV after some time. GTA V remains working, but Steam client is down at this point.

I am using Fedora 29 (with esync working) with RX 580 and Flatpak version of Steam.

The Bug is a Wine-Bug, as Piotr from Codeweavers commented yet (see comment 13):
-> https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46474#c13

Can't connect to Rockstar Game Social Club, thus can't launch the game. The game is broken now. nwm, it's my ISP blocking Rockstar servers

Sadly, Grand Theft Auto V no longer starts for me on Ubuntu 16.04 with i7 and GTX 1070, I tried NVIDIA 396.54 and NVIDIA 415.27 but it no longer works. It was working fine for me earlier in 2018, I still have the dxvk conf workaround file. Anyone have any suggestions of things I can try?

The Singleplayer should work...

@ipkpjersi have you set the launch command 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%' ? I haven't played for a couple of days but everything seemed to work for me fine last time.

How would that look wijth already having the dxvk config file workaround as well? I set it to this: DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=~/gta_dxvk.conf WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% but that didn't work. I also tried DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=~/gta_dxvk.conf; WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% which didn't work either.

Personally I'm unsure of what dxvk work around your talking about, have you tried launching GTA just the command I suggested?

The dxvk conf workaround I am referring to is here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/37#issuecomment-415833819 and I have also tried with just WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% and it did not help.

FYI: The dxvk workaround isn't required anymore with the latest proton versions.

EDIT: Is ~ even supported in these environment variables? I'd suggest trying it without the dxvk workaround or with /home/<your-username>/gta_dxvk.conf instead.

The dxvk workaround did work for me back when it was required exactly as I had it. Now nothing I can do will let GTA V run anymore, with or without the WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% doesn't help. I'm open to any other suggestions, I'd love to have GTA V running again, weird that it worked fine nearly a year ago and now it doesn't. Could there have been a regression? I also tried all of the available Proton versions: 3.16-6 Beta, 3.16-4, 3.7-8 Beta, 3.7-8, nothing works.

Can you add PROTON_LOG=1 to your launch options and show us your ~/steam-271590.log after your game crashed?

I replaced my launch options with PROTON_LOG=1 but it seems like there is no ~/steam-271590.log file created. Seems like there is no steam log file of any kind/name.

Did you use PROTON_LOG=1 or PROTON_LOG=1 %command%? If you used the first one, try the second one.

I tried both, neither of them seem to work. I also checked in ~/.steam/steam/logs but nothing.

Hmm. You could launch steam from the command line and see what's logged there when you start the game. Maybe it's a permission issue.

The only output I get from the command line is this:

edit: I removed the PROTON_LOG=1 and then now I saw this, only once, when trying to run it multiple times:

I'm not even sure if that's related.

crypto.cpp (2173) : Assertion Failed: rsaKey.IsValid()

I also think that's probably not related.

Does the file ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/compat_log.txt exist? If so this may contain relevant information.

Nope, the ~/.local/share/Steam and ~/.local/share/steam do not even exist. However, I do think I am making some progress - I just realized I should probably verify integrity of cache, so I did that, it said 149 files were invalid or whatever and now it seems like it is downloading 77GB. Awesome. I feel like this is going to work after it is done downloading.

edit: many hours later after it downloaded all the files, still nothing. Oh well, I'm giving up for now unless anyone else has any ideas.

edit 2: completely redownloaded from scratch, now I see the loading splash screen then after it, nothing:

Anyone got any other ideas?

edit 3: deleted SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata SteamLibrary/steamapps/temp SteamLibrary/steamapps/downloading and then it re-installed Social Club and now it starts up again! Singleplayer seems to work, multiplayer crashes. Oh well, getting closer!

Same problem. Singleplayer works great, multiplayer crashes at character creation screen.
Arch Linux
Nvidia Geforce 940mx
nvidia-xrun

Are you two that have multiplayer issues using the WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% launch option?
Your issue(s) sounds exactly like what that fixes.

I can confirm that WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% fixes GTA V multiplayer, GTA V is now fully working for me again on Ubuntu 16.04 just like it was last year. Thanks again for the help everyone.

For me as well. I'm also using PROTON_NO_ESYNC.

Great to hear.

For me as well. I'm also using PROTON_NO_ESYNC.

Great to hear as well.

Regarding ESYNC, I assume having it enabled cause issues. So, does your system already fulfill and/or have you done the things talked about here that ought to make ESYNC work?
It does not work for everyone, I think, which is why I wonder if you have tried it and it didn't work.

Otherwise, give it a shot, as ESYNC is rather useful for this game.

@albin-engstrom I just added the NO_ESYNC flag because I saw someone saying that disabling esync improves performance. But I'll try today without that flag.
Also, I've noticed better performance with DX10 only. But should I keep on DX11?

@jersobh ESYNC when properly working usually improve performance in CPU heavy games, like GTAV, but if the system isn't set up for it (In the way talked about in the link I posted earlier) or if it doesn't work properly for some other reason it may cause issues or worse performance if enabled.

So making sure the system is set up for it and trying it is wort a shot, but if performance is still worse with it enabled disabling it may be the best option.

As for DX versions. I've seen some mentions of DX10 or DX10.1 working better than DX11. Although no mention of if it's in regards to performance or other issues.
For me, DX11 have better performance. But worse Aliasing/Anti Aliasing.
Which seems to be the case on Windows as well.

Thanks, @albin-engstrom . I'll try each one and post the results here. Also, something that really helped was disabling steam overlay. As some people said, when you receive messages the game can crash, and performance seems to be better without steam overlay.

Yeah, I can confirm that both multiplayer and singleplayer are working for me on Proton 3.16-7 Beta and NVIDIA 415.27.

Works find for me too, Proton 3.16-7 and NVIDIA 415.27 as well.

@jellz I think you need to tell proton what vulkan driver should be used maybe try to start the game with VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%

@Alexander88207 Getting an error about not being able to find DirectX

Jesus, yesterday I've tried the whole day and couldn't connect to social club... couldn't play online.

@Alexander88207 Your fix worked! But now I have another issue. When I launch the game, it is using Intel graphics instead of NVIDIA. Another game of mine, that runs natively on Linux, is using my NVIDIA GPU when I run optirun <game>. But when I added optirun to the Steam launch options, it failed. I am using Bumblebee and Optimus.

You need to use PRIME (Ubuntu, Mint) or something like nvidia-xrun. It won't work with bumblebee.

Could we please turn this thread into having fixes made and get GTA V whitelisted in Proton?

This is becoming a support forum for only tangentially related issues, nvidia-xrun? Intel graphics issues?, and my notifications are being spammed to death.

What bugs specifically are blocking this game from being whitelisted on Ubuntu? The game works perfectly fine for me and I've been playing it online and offline since last year.

I'm frustrated that this has been an issue for over half a year and there's seemingly little progress being made. I would like this game to work completely out of the box on latest version of Ubuntu after a fresh install and then I think looking into debugging individual cases, different window managers and weird setups like Nvidia Optimus. Could we just get this working for the vast majority of people first and have GTA V without any extra steps needed? That would be awesome!

Well, for me the only thing I had to to do on a fresh Kubuntu 18.10 was installing the ms-corefonts. Though if I recall correctly, it would only work after installing them though winetricks and not the ttf-mscorefonts-installer. I know it shouldn't make a difference, but maybe Proton doesn't get the the fonts from the same place as plain old wine.
Currently running the game with maximum settings at 4K and average a little more than 60 fps. I have a Vega 64 and are using padoka stable ppa (mesa 18.3.xx)

I agree with @Snuggle . Let's don't keep this a support thread for every user. Individual issues like the currently discussed is better served elsewhere, as it doesn't really help the discussion much. It gets very hard to find actual solutions and keep track of progress, when you have to filter out non-related issues to the topic.

Edit:
Back then the game would only crash if shader was set to anything above the lowest setting. This doesn't appear to be the case anymore. I wonder if this is the result of TransformFeedback being implemented.

Now though, you shouldn't have to install these, as ms-corefonts come bundled with Proton newer versions of Proton (since 3.16-4).

Hello. We're aware of the GTA5 Online crash, and are working on a fix for it. Unfortunately it wasn't ready for 3.16-7. In the meantime, the WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% workaround seems to be working well for most people.

Anyone getting mouse issues? I have it set to windows put the sensitivity keeps changing and from time to time the mouse buttons stop working.

@jellz #65

For me, GTA V seems to have CPU problems.

First, the game starts fine and I am even having similar performance as on Windows. But after a while, the frames drop to 10FPS due to overheating (CPU reaches 100° C). I did not have these problems on Windows.

So, I reset the graphics settings from High settings to the lowest settings, but I still have the same problem of overheating, although the CPU does not even run at 100% as you can see here:

I am using latest Arch Linux with a Nvidia GTX 960M, proprietary drivers and kernel parameter nvidia-drm modeset=1 and I use nvidia-xrun instead of bumblebee, which works fine in all other games.

I tried to limit FPS with no success, I tried libstrangle, +fps_max 30, different VSync settings and also creating a file commandline.txt in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Grand\ Theft\ Auto\ V/ with the content -refreshrate 30 -framelimit 1, but the FPS always starts off at a constant 60 FPS (until the CPU overheats and the frames drop to 10 FPS).

Does anyone have a similar problem or know how to limit the FPS?

My laptop does not have a general overheating problem, e.g. I can run Rise of the Tomb Raider just fine at high settings, so I suspect there is a GTA specific problem to fix here.

@magnus-gross Any luck without modeset=1 parameter? I can't get mine to work properly with modeset=1 parameter when using nvidia-xrun. The game will sometimes be unable to detect DX10/11 capable hardware thingies or nvidia-xrun will sometimes be unable to initiate the card (in which, if I retry, it will work but the card can't be turned off when I'm done afterwards), basically pretty much unstable. The downside, that I can see, without that parameter is screen tearing, though it was bearable. But then, GTA V works properly on my end. I've tried to play it for a couple hours straight and no problemo.
I'm on KDE neon 5.15 / Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, with GTX 960M as well.

As expected however, my machine was heating up pretty well (as expected of a metal-bodied laptop with just some fans for cooling I guess), however there were no performance sudden drops or anything like that.

@BobbyWibowo Yes, I tried that to no avail.

I have also tried debugging with perf, but the game seems to spend 80% of CPU cycles in a module called Anon, for which I do not have any debug symbols.

Just a refresher for anyone newly subscribed to this issue. The problem with GTA5 Online is understood and a fix is being worked on. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% in the game's Launch Options in Steam.

After installing Proton 3.16 beta I can launch the game and see most of the intro video. It then crashed:

@magnus-gross Yeah, the issue with modeset=1 appeared to be a mistake on my end. My system now works properly with it too. I'm not getting the same issue as you are however, so I can't give any input from here on out.

@kisak-valve I think the "mesa-drivers" tag can be removed i never had problems with mesa here & and dont see any other one here lately.

@kisak-valve I have seen this issue yesterday (AMD RX 580, Mesa 18.3.4), it got away after setting the shadow quality to High in the game settings.

I am not sure, but I think that it was set to Normal quality.

@kisak-valve I have 60-70 hours in game (all single player), and I haven't seen the shadow issue again after the first few hours, even when exploring new areas. However, it was very noticeable when it was happening. It didn't affect gameplay, but it was quite distracting.

I seem to remember it stopped happening around the same time that the shader cache stuttering stopped. Maybe they're related.

Just to be clear, I'm still on the same mesa version (18.2.2).

Not sure if I should post here or not, but my issue is specifically for GTA V Online.

I get "grand theft auto v has exited unexpectedly", when trying to do online.

Oddly enough, temporary fix is : https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/aewbqi/gta_v_suddenly_not_working_grand_theft_auto_v_has/ee5dsas/

Namely, "You can get online using this workaround for now until there is a more permanent solution. Run a trace on GTAV.exe while the game is loading. You'll be able to get online, then you can detach it. Load online from SP. Start the game, use a task manager to find the PID of GTAV.exe, and use this command: sudo strace -p ##### Where ### is the PID. Once you get online just ctrl + C or close the terminal"

So, hopefully this gets figured out, because running an strace to get online is kind of silly, HAH!

Also when I do get into GTA V Online, I get about 25% of the FPS I normally get in Single Player. SP I get like 120+ FPS, but now I'm getting like 25-30 FPS in GTA V Online. Not sure what's up with that. Same graphical settings.

what specs do you have? because I am not getting anywhere as much of a drop when online, I get 80ish to 100 fps and over and on online it's 70 to 100 fps

Has anyone noticed that the audio will start sounding corrupted if you alt tab from the game and back?

i cannot confirm that but in most cases when I alt tab the game just crashes.

@BloodyIron this is a known issue, and yeah it's weird. @aeikum Summarized it well:

Just a refresher for anyone newly subscribed to this issue. The problem with GTA5 Online is >understood and a fix is being worked on. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by setting >WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% in the game's Launch Options in Steam.

His comment is from 4 days ago and also links to the bug on the wine bugtracker:

hmm never happens to me when I alt tab

Hmm, alt + tab works fine for me as well.

Has anyone noticed that the audio will start sounding corrupted if you alt tab from the game and back?

This happens for me sometimes, too. The other times I alt + tab the shadow rendering get's a bit messed up or the game crashes. So I always try to avoid tabbing out.

Anybody ever tried modding the game with those ScriptHook thingy? Specifically the one that uses dinput8.dll file thing. I tried to look around but I couldn't find even a single mention of it.
I'm asking cause I couldn't get it to work, for some reason. I had no problem with GTA 4 though.

Yes. Not only have I got ScriptHookV and .asi scripts working, but I've had success with the LUA plugin hook, the .NET hook (after installing dotnet452 with winetricks), and OpenIV mods (using OpenIV in Wine). There are some mods that will prevent the game from loading, but most mods I've tried have worked perfectly.

Have you added dinput8 as a DLL override in your GTA V prefix?

This is embarrassing, but I.. I did not think of doing that at all. Many thanks man, it's finally working now, lmao

It seems that GTA Online still hangs after some time. :-( It happened to me yesterday after some time when playing online and I had to manually reboot the whole machine. There were some amdgpu-related errors in the journal log:

ehm i think your problem with the hangs is that this could be a gpu hang i also had this before the online mode stopped working. Can you retest with Mesa 18.3.4?

Can you retest with Mesa 18.3.4?

Unfortunately, I have to wait. Mesa 18.3.4 will be included in the next freedesktop runtime release that will hopefully be in a few weeks.

I would also like to point out I get 1/4 of the FPS in GTA V Online vs Singleplayer. In Singelplayer I can get upwards of 90-120FPS, and GTA V Online I get ~30FPS. Same graphical settings. Not sure what's up with that.

This happens in Windows too.

the .NET hook (after installing dotnet452 with winetricks)

@Clifforus say, have you ever had this issue below?

It's a clean steam compatdata prefix (deleted the directory before relaunching GTA5 once), and I've only installed dotnet452, vcrun2013, and vcrun2015 with protontricks, and I got that issue right after.
I'm always stuck in trying to get the .NET hook working.

@Clifforus say, have you ever had this issue below?

I get that when I install a newer version of .NET framework. Something that I just thought about too, when I installed .NET to the prefix, it was with winetricks, rather than protontricks, and I am pretty sure it was on the previous Proton revision. Perhaps rolling Proton back to 3.16-4 and/or using winetricks will sort the error out? I'll do some investigating later.

Is everyone else having problems getting custom tracks on "self radio"? I put them in the correct folder, scan but nothing happens? Looked for "self" on the thread but couldn't find it?

Any feedback on if you can or can't would be great.

Apologies and thanks @kisak-valve

I can't get self-radio to work, no matter what I try. Has someone succeeded in that yet?

having the same issues, no idea how to get that working yet

@IvoAndonov the script hook is being loaded by the customized dinput8.dll, so you need to add a wine dll override for that dll.
You can either use protontricks or just use winecfg directly on the game's compatdata prefix.
I'm using it myself and have had no serious problems (although I've had many difficulties with .net script hook, however someone else in here managed to get it working so who knows).

Quick update on the issue posted here.

This issue still exists in Proton 4.2-1. I've uploaded fresh logs:
| Comp1 | Sysinfo | Proton Logs |
| Comp2 | Sysinfo | Proton Logs |

Steps used to produce the logs:

• Install GTA 5
• Change launch options to PROTON_LOG=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%
• Load Story Mode
• Load an Online Friend-Only session
• Once both computers were in this state, both tried (one at a time) to connect to each other
  -GTA 5 gives the following on-screen messages:

Alert: Getting GTA Online session details
Alert: Unable to connect to game session.

Since this affects vanilla WINE as well, I also created a WINE bug report.

mouse doesn't capture after alt-tab. ALT key is permanent pressed in game after ALT-TAB.

Only with proton. On wine staging 4.5 it works fine.

Is anyone having issues with the settings menu? I think it only happens in the graphics settings, but some settings when I change them don't apply properly - they'll appear to have, bit when I try to leave the menu it'll warn about unsaved changes, and some it's impossible to make apply - for instance, FXAA never works. It's a very weird issue... Running Debian Testing with Proton 3.16 Beta iirc, can't check right now, but it also doesn't work on the new 4.2(?) version

@mlugg I can confirm the issue on all proton versions. But it mostly happens when the game is set to full screen, setting it to borderless window allowes you to change the settings and then switch back to full screen.

@mlugg , I have that problem too. Running Mint 18.3 with Proton 4.2-2. The only way to make the game remember the settings is after each "Escape" press "Space" to apply the settings again and instead of hitting escape to go back to playing, just exit the game and then run it again. But this is very annoying.

I've moved over to a Radeon VII graphics card, and I can't load any of the games that I had before. I've installed the amdgpu drivers with no luck on Ubuntu 18.04.

I think that you need at least the Linux 4.20 stable kernel for the Radeon VII btw what mesa version do you have installed now?

You need to update the kernel with UKUU and install padoka stable or unstable PPA, follow a guid online to do so

I am able to play this fine using https://github.com/felixdoerre/primus_vk. I can run this game just with pvkrun %command% as the launch options with no PROTON_* overrides needed.

After reading through this thread I don't see any other mentions of the issues I'm having.

Viewing the in game fullscreen map will pretty consistently (but not every time) lockup the game and require it to be killed. I also see this while viewing the in game web browser. Otherwise I have played through the whole campaign without problems.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (nvidia 418.56, kernel 4.19.34), can still trigger with current proton 4.2-2. The log produced is over 700MB and I'm not even sure it includes anything useful

I get that when I install a newer version of .NET framework.

@Clifforus May I know which version of .NET framework that you installed specifically to get it working? If I remember correctly, I started getting the error after installing 4.7.2, but afterwards, even after deleting the compatdata dir of the game, re-doing everything but with 4.5.2, I still got the same error, I think (I did not restart my machine in between the attempts back then, so there might be some other cause).

Trying GTA on linux again, appears to install but there is some weirdness with what I assume is browser related. I can get through the account setup upto where it wants a capatcha. After creating one outside GTA I still can't seem to login as it again asks for a capatcha which in both cases doesn't show up nor do I see attempts to connect to google?

Proton 4.2.3 prevents this game from running. I suspect there's an issue with the DXVK 1.0.3 provided with Proton. I have been using DXVK 1.0.3 outside steam with wine without issues.

Singleplayer runs fantastic for me with the latest proton. Getting a solid 80-100fps at ultra settings (2x and 4x msaa). Multiplayer still doesn't work, just errors out with the same connection problem message as others are getting.

If anyone still has trouble with it no longer locking the mouse after tabbing out and back in, I found that pressing alt+enter (or win+enter) once or twice forces the game to toggle its fullscreen mode and re-capture the mouse correctly. This solves that problem for me with many other games via Proton as well.

Multiplayer works, you need to add a launch option. I'll have to find what it was and give it to you. Thanks for the top about it not loving the mouse I'll have to try that

For Multiplayer WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command% and to fix the mouse set the mouse input method in-game to windows

Anyone else having problems in the last day or so? Game runs upto clicking on story mode after that the spinner thing cycles for about 30s and it hangs. Only real error I can find is 107? No idea what it means but I do think it's odd the game worked fine for a few days. Rockstar suppor t want dxdiag output which is impossible. I don' thtink it's steam as I've done a few reinstalls and reverted back to a snapshot I know worked ealier last week.

tl;dr is it possible rockstar bans proton/wine users?

For me the crashes with online and anything related to a webpage were caused by CEF.

Nope, that sounds like a odd issue

@Alexander88207 Hell yeah! It works perfectly now, a solid 80fps at ultra. It runs without a hitch, can't even tell its not a native game!

And if someone gets a gpu hang online with an amd card, this issue gets already tracked here

System Information

• GPU: GTX 1080ti
• Driver/LLVM version: nvidia 418.56
• Kernel version: 4.15.0-48-generic
• https://gist.github.com/bitbucket90/86673f9ef3a6f8e3569895ff51b7b066
• Proton version: 4.2.2

I confirm:

• [/] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game. (I have but none that address this and I am able to reproduce on an identical setup)
• [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Game will launch, open windows, then back off and tell me it can retry in safe mode, the log has both methods in it, at any rate it will not launch.

Reproduction

Review above, also log file below:
steam-271590.log.tar.gz

My issue - I've found things post here (didnt realize there wer another 400+ comments, however nothing seems to work with my problem, tried the conf work around, I already have esync configured, just cant seem to get it to launch.

@bitbucket90 Did you set the Launch Options (right-click game -> properties -> Set launch option) required for successfully loading Online?

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%

Im just trying to get to single player, but even the above wont launch the game into multi player. I realized proton via steam updated to latest. Not sure of how to configure on lutris side to test if its the dxvk version as GTA wants me to run playgta.exe or have steam started (neither of which I can do running that way unless I install steam for windows).

This still doesn't launch any more for me either. No idea why. It did work until I contacted support, I can confirm the account isn't banned at least as it worked in a windows vm. Spent hours trying everything I could think of.

@h1z1 i've not seen your issue yet, and is very strange? Is this behind a proxy, i've seen TLS issues when a proxy is at play (outside of gaming).

Given it works for others, It's quite likely a TLS issue, why it worked for a bit though is the mystery. There are a lot of parts to GTA including different versions of CEF. There are other applications which have the same problem (with CEF).

Anyone having an issue with NVIDIA 430.14? Game doesn't get past social club after updating from 430.09. Tried a new prefix/socialclub/gtav settings with no luck.

Launcher log: https://hastebin.com/isovepozah

Update: Fixed after driver reinstall, weird.

What is the current status of GTA Online? Is it still causing the game to slow down and hang/crash after some time?

I can say that i never had a gpu hang again after my distro upgraded gnome to 3.30.

Otherwise it runs like clockwork.

@AsciiWolf Works perfectly for me, sit at 80-100fps (sometimes more) at ultra/4x MSAA. No crashing or hangs for me on my GTX 1070, also no hitching or any input issues. Hard to believe its not native, honestly.

Multiplayer is kind of lackluster without friends though, virtually every random lobby I join is full of hackers doing crazy stuff like changing the world to snow and spawning in weird stuff.

@exezin Interesting. It was regularly slowing down after ~15 minutes of gameplay on my system (with AMD RX 580 GPU).

Might be worth also setting your cpu govenor to performance as well, this removed a lot of hitching in games for me and provided a surprising amount of increased framerate/general performance. But YMMV

cpupower -c all frequency-set -g performance

It's also worth trying this: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

Edit; One other thing I forgot to mention. It's probably nothing but I found in Killing Floor 2 after long sessions that it would get choppy with mouse input being stuttery/weird. It seemed to be related to me constantly opening/closing the steam overlay and built in web browser etc, disabling the overlay for KF2 solved that issue for me entirely. Don't know if its related though, just thought it was worth bringing up.

Every time I open GTAV-online from a fresh system restart I am only greeted by a black screen with audio. Killing the process then relaunching always fixes this. Anyone experiencing anything similar? There's nothing visible in launcher.log nor socialclub_launcher.log

Ubuntu 19.04
Kernel 5.0.0-15
GTX 980Ti 430.14
Proton 4.2-5 (no modifications to prefix)

I have the same issue as reported above. GTA V single player used to work perfectly before, but just trying it again recently, I find myself in a restart loop: after getting the social launcher, nothing happens for several minutes until it says that it could not start and that you can either retry or start it in safe mode. both options provide no solution whatsoever.

System:
Nvidia 415.x (latest)
GTX970
Ubuntu 16.04
Proton: 4.2.6 (latest at the time of writing).

I tried changing to 3.16 Proton version, but it did not solve the issue either.

Same here, GTA V single player used to work great before the latest stable Steam Client update.

If you need more info, please let me know!

@ekianjo Your Nvidia drivers appear to be pretty outdated, I'm on 430.14?

FWIW launching from steam now hangs after the initial Socialclub login. Running it manually within proton gets further to the Storymode selection. Still hangs for me on entry though.

Update: Removing the shader caches allows it to start from steam again. Once. Steam downloads the cache again on exit and GTA fails to start after. Rinse and repeat.

For me it helped to set the following start options in the steam game propertys:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%

Found it in a reddid thread.

My system info:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Ubuntu 19.04
Proton 4.2-7
GeForce GTX970
nVidia 430.26

Got that active and it still blackscreens on the first launch.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%

This is AFAIK only useful for playing GTA online.

I tried it, and it does not help with the problem.

The only workaround is currently to delete the shader cache, as described by @h1z1.

I checked the shader cache directory but it was empty on my side. No matter what, I would really like to understand what led me from a working GTAV out of the box to it not launching anymore. is it Proton-related? Is it the Steam client? Is it the Nvidia drivers?

@ekianjo Your Nvidia drivers appear to be pretty outdated, I'm on 430.14?

The thing is, the game worked fine with such drivers a few weeks ago.

Everything works on AMD's side.

Driver: Mesa 19.1
Proton: 4.2-7
Distro: Sabayon

Everything works on NVidia's side for most people. We are talking about a
rare issue here.

Worst part is I still can't make heads or tails of the logs. I'm willing to pursue this further because I'm a stubborn bastard who can't give up, I don't know if this is the best form for it however.

For me Offline works great but online not so much.
Online didn't work -crash at creating character / login. I found that attaching strace helps
strace -p $(ps -C GTA5.exe -o pid=) when game is running but before going online. It halves my fps but I can kill it after I log in.
Also logging in takes minimum 10-15 minutes on loading screen.
I would appreciate any suggestions for better solution. winedbg.exe as described above has no effect for me - It's crushing back to launcher after 15 minutes of "loading" and prompts for restart - same as if I just run it without any additional "moves"

A better Solution or maybe a fix is already on the way.

I managed to run GTA Online after the Diamond Casino update without any additional launch options. Unfortunately, the following days I couldn't play it because it would crash when GTA:O loaded, and the launcher would ask me to retry or retry in safe mode.

I've tried the winedbg workaround and it fixed the issue. Right now, I can play it with the following launch options:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d gamemoderun %command%

System specs:

• Intel i5 3570k
• GTX 970 OC
• 16 GB RAM DDR3
• Arch Linux 5.2.3-arch1-1-ARCH

I'd also like to note that it's still not possible to run the game in refresh rates higher than 60. I have a 144hz monitor and other games run in 144Hz, such as War Thunder (yep, I'm using Proton), Euro Truck Simulator 2 (had to use Proton to play multiplayer mod) and No Man's Sky.

Alexandre to fix the frames I had to turn off other screen in xorg/nwidia
settings and enable freesync/g-sync - there is a good chance your monitors
supports freesync, most of 144hz monitors do.

to fix the frames I had to turn off other screen in xorg/nwidia
settings and enable freesync/g-sync - there is a good chance your monitors
supports freesync, most of 144hz monitors do.

I have 2 monitors and one of them is 60hz. It doesn't interfere with other games and I don't think disabling it is a good fix for the 144hz issue.

Regarding FreeSync, yes, my monitor supports it, but I don't think it's possible to enable it with the current driver. I don't see any options related to enabling G-SYNC when selecting my monitor on Nvidia X Server Settings.

I've tried the new Proton 4.11-1 and I was able to achieve framerates higher than 60 FPS. Game is, overall, smoother than it was before (it had massive FPS drops and lag where there were lots of players on GTA:O), but there are a few issues bugging me.

1. I cannot change any graphics settings - I apply them, then when I want to close the menu it asks to apply the settings again, and when I check them after closing and reopening the menu, they were the same setting as before I tried to change them.
2. V-Sync is capping my framerate to half of what my monitor supports. I enabled full vsync and on menus, I got about 200 FPS on singleplayer. After closing it, framerate was capped to about 70-80 FPS.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the issue that sometimes I have to do a 270 degree view spin with my mouse so I can rotate my view to the left, otherwise it gets stuck, acting like my mouse cursor got stuck on the edge of the screen, preventing me from continuing rotating my character's head.

@RockyTV

Are you using fsync? Would you mind doing a 4.2-9 vs 4.11-1 benchmark comparison with specs listed? Thanks.

@telans I haven't tried fsync yet. Will do it tomorrow, but I've setup a gist to track the benchmark results. Will run 4.2-9 with both ESYNC on and off, and 4.11-1 with fsync, esync and with both disabled.

I found it weird that the game detects as if I was running Windows XP.

Proton 4.11-1 is causing issues with my Dualshock 4. Once in-game, the camera will constantly pan down and to the right. Pulling the triggers will change the direction of the panning. Reverting to 4.2-9 fixes it. This doesn't happen in any other games I've tried

@Clifforus Does it still happen if you set "Steam input per-game setting" in the game properties to "Forced off"? That resolved some odd issues for me with my 360 pad in the past, worth a shot I suppose.

I already tried that, it just made the controller not work at all. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Would that not imply that the game isn't using the gamepad directly and rather via the steam input, and thus the issue could be with the steam input setup for the controller? Mine all work fine with steam input forced off.

I suppose it could suggest that, but then how does that explain why going back to Proton 4.2-9 makes it work again, and why no other game is presenting this behaviour?

@Clifforus I couldn't reproduce the issue that you are seeing, so I'm wondering if you could gather some information to see if we can debug the issue from afar.

Could you give your system info? You could just copy it from the steam menu Help -> System Information.

Could you also take a log of the ps4 controller failure? Here are the basics for doing this in case you haven't gathered a proton log before:

1. Go into .steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 4.11 and "cp user_settings.sample.py user_settings.py"
2. Please edit user_settings.py and add the following extra logging channels: "+hid,+hidp,+hid_report,+plugplay,+rawinput,+dinput,+xinput,+joystick" to the end of the WINEDEBUG line.
3. After playing the game and reproducing the error with the ps4 controller, the log will be created in your $HOME folder (/home/your_username/.)

Thank you!

I'll also mention that I have a separate install that I set up for testing mesa-aco-git and linux-fsync, and I was experiencing the same issue there.

The log that was generated is 1.3GB and I don't know where the best place to upload it is, and if or how I should compress it.

Hello @Clifforus, I suspect your log is full of access violations related to #2927. Can you run something like grep c0000005 steam-271590.log?

It gave no output at all. I also tried a few more things like grep violation steam-271590.log, grep exception steam-271590.log and grep access steam-271590.log which also gave no output. I also took a brief look at the start of the log with less but nothing stood out to me.

@Clifforus one pretty effective way to compress the log is with:
xz -T0 /path/to/file
The 0 is a zero in this case. Hopefully that will make it small enough to upload?

xz -T0 /path/to/file certainly makes it a lot more reasonable, but it is still too large to upload to Github. I've put it on my Google Drive, but I'll upload it elsewhere if need be.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-f_CHCl6tjVTvvOWnB8U5mWUYyaLPL2S

@Clifforus thank you! I am able to download it. Hopefully there will be some hint at what is going on there.

grep c000001d steam-271590.log | wc -l on that log gives 86710 unhandled illegal instructions (CPU opcodes that are not understood by your processor). Two lines per event.

Ah, well I guess it is easier to find stuff when you actually know what it is you're looking for! Interesting findings.

1. I cannot change any graphics settings - I apply them, then when I want to close the menu it asks to apply the settings again, and when I check them after closing and reopening the menu, they were the same setting as before I tried to change them.

In my case using Windowed Borderless mode fixed this issue. Also, I'm actually getting better performance this way.

I can reproduce this exact same issue described further above:

Grand Theft Auto V - Input causes frame times to spike after a while

Issue transferred from #985.
@Clifforus posted on 2018-08-30T13:11:20:

Game runs incredibly well for me except from this one issue. After playing for some time, usually about an hour, suddenly every keyboard input and movement of the mouse will cause the frame time to spike for that frame, resulting in a stuttering unplayable mess. If I don't touch the keyboard and mouse, then performance continues to be smooth. Only way to stop the stuttering is to restart the game.

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: Sapphire 8GB RX 480 Nitro+
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk B350

Apologies if this isn't enough info, I'm not exactly an expert. Please let me know if there's any logs that might be of use or any other information I can post.

Is there any way to fix it already?
I'd appreciate any help as it's been bothering me since the date I installed the game and couldn't be fixed, yet.

I've managed to get my driver working with the fsync kernel (had to install nvidia-dkms).

I tried running the benchmark but it would freeze at random times. The first time it froze when transitioning from the first scene to the second. The second time it froze running the third scene.

I can reproduce this exact same issue described further above:

That issue was fixed for me after a Proton update, I can't remember exactly which one. I'd suggest making sure you're on at least Proton 3.16-9 and maybe generating a fresh prefix.

All right, I have the results of my benchmarks.

Max CPU Usage:

• Proton 4.11-1:
  • fsync: 50.8%
  • esync: 51.2%
  • esync and fsync disabled: 44.8%
• Proton 4.2-9:
  • esync: 50.2%
  • esync disabled: 42.0%

I tried to make something nice to see but the graphing website I used was terrible. You can compare the benchmark results here: https://gist.github.com/RockyTV/2c2c87890bd53add70fddc6e991c5fbc

I used the 5.2.4-arch1-1-fsync kernel for all the benchmarks.

Average FPS:

Maximum FPS:

Thanks for that, looks like there's only a couple fps difference with fsync unfortunately. Wow at the improvement from 4.9 to 4.11 with esync though, that's really substantial.

@Clifforus Thanks for the reply. It's not fixed for me yet even though I use Proton 4.2-9. Sorry to ask, but what do you mean by "generating a fresh prefix"?

As in deleting/moving the corresponding /home/{USER}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/{APP_ID} folder so that the game 'system install' is reverted back to default/clean as of Proton 4.11. This will remove your save/config files if Steam Cloud doesn't sync those, so make a backup of them to re-paste back in after the prefix has been regenerated.

Thanks for the help!

Anyone knowing about an issue that makes the updater close immediately when starting an update?
I have set -noChunkedDownload to get around the updates not working, but now the updater has been crashing for some time now. Reverting back to an old proton version does not help.

What's your socialclub launcher log like?

I don't have one, I don't think. How do I get one?

These two: (within Proton prefix)
docs/rockstar games/gtav/launcher.log
docs/rockstar games/social club/socialclub_launcher.log

Not sure if paths are correct, off the top of my head but should be close enough.

launcher.log
socialclub_launcher.log
Yeah I think it might be looking in the wrong folders. But it worked in the past.

Have you tried verifying game data through steam? Also add the -verify flag like you did with -noChunkedDownload.

Also instead of reverting a previous Proton version, you could try giving a clean prefix a go.

I think I just found the problem. Steam decided to make a new compatiblity data folder. So I don't actually have social club installed.
EDIT: Just made a softlink and it works now.

Any info on how to fix online mode crashing in the loading screen?
For now I have tried it with and without PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 and with and without WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d
I had it working in the past, but don't remember what did it.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d was for the online mode

and PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 was for: i dont know i never had problems with esync on, maybe someone have not it configured properly.

As an info for those with a hybrid Nvidia GPU:
I had issues with Vulkan (vulkaninfo exited with an error).

What solved it for me until a reboot is running nvidia-settings as root and switching to the 'Graphics Information' tab. After that everything works fine. At this point I'm not keen to find the underlying error.

My setup:
Ubuntu 18.04, GeForce MX150, driver 430.4, nvidia-prime

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d

This is what fixed my crash to launcher when entering online mode. Thanks so much!

I still need to run strace to get into online mode. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46474

Anyone figured out how to make mouse cursor visible in social club overlay? I wanted to add some people to friend list but the cursor is not visible when overlay is on

Hello @LordJABA ,

Do you have already tried it in window mode?

btw its not hard to see the cursor, just move the cursor around and see what is currently highlighted, thats how i did it everytime.

Does anyone also have to problem that the cameras movement is limited after using alt+tab?
This is a pretty common issue for games on linux in general.
Anyone know how to fix it or work around it?
I kind of need to alt+tab to disable strace once gta online is loaded.

Try setting a virtual dsktop.

Actually I just found a way. You can set the mouse input mode from "raw input" to "Windows".
That did it for me.

This unfortunately didn't fix the issue for me:

After about an hour the game continues lagging.

Where did you set this?

Where did you set this?

In the GTA settings. There is a mouse section and it was at the top.

This might not be directly related, but..
how do you search inside an issue on github?
I cannot find any information on that and we are all probably just repeating ourselves at this point.

The reason I was asking this:

I want to know if you can normally use a controller in GTA on Linux.
For me the Xbox One controller and the PS3 controller don't work in GTA, but do work in for example No Mans's Sky.

Does the controller work in the prefix of GTA?
