Symptoms

Finishing a race or hitting Esc to pause game in Glide mode won't show the menu. The menu does spawn and if you wiggle the mouse you can hear the different options getting highlighted, but it doesn't show. The only thing shown on screen is the game in a frozen state.

It works as intended with the software renderer but the game looks much worse.

Another issue is that the music doesn't play, despite the files being in MP3 format in the game folder.

Reproduction

  1. Start Powerslide
  2. Go to Options -> Graphics
  3. Change Driver to Glide2
  4. Start a race and press Esc after it loads in.

System Information

  • Steam Deck (LCD)
  • Video driver version: 4.6 Mesa 24.3.4 (git-8d0948917e)
  • Kernel version: 6.11.11
  • Proton version: 1762451175 experimental-10.0-20251106b

The game has a '-forced3d' commandline parameter to swith the h/w renderer from Glide to Direct3D. The game still boots using software renderer first, then you need to go to the settings and switch to h/w renderer there, under Proton the game crashes at that point.
