I found other Proton versions do not have this issue, only Proton 5.0 does. For the moment, you can try downgrading to 4.11.

Seems like input works more consistently on 4.11. I was able to break it immediately after downgrading but not on subsequent restarts of the game. Updated the main post with this, thanks.

After going back to Proton 5.0 it's remained roughly as frequent as using it on 4.11. Seems to happen more often if the game isn't in focus while it starts up, but even then is still unreliable.

Currently, I cannot connect to the server- the game launches and runs, but I can't join or host a game since the latest update that added 6 character codes. No error message, it just has the connecting animation forever.

@StarrKiss Can you see if the solution found here fixes it?

1. Go to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/945360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Innersloth/Among Us/
2. Delete serverInfo2.dat

I've tried that @Baguettedood but no such file exists.

I can't seem to replicate the keyboard issue when using GloriousEggroll's Proton-5.9-GE-6-ST as suggested here. Proton-GE and maybe other builds of Proton that include wine-staging's rawinput patches (such as proton-tkg) may solve the keyboard input problems.

I found this blog post: https://churchman.nl/2019/03/14/granting-capabilities-using-capsh/
And executed commands:

export -p > ./savedenv
sudo capsh --caps="cap_net_raw+eip cap_setpcap,cap_setuid,cap_setgid+ep" --keep=1 --user=$USER --addamb=cap_net_raw -- -c "source ./savedenv; rm ./savedenv; steam"

It will run steam from which you can run Among Us with working multiplayer features. It seems like mentioned ICMP ping is a problem here.

@Adikso 's post seems to have worked for me... though I'm not sure exactly what his command is doing.

@Adikso 's post seems to have worked for me... though I'm not sure exactly what his command is doing.

The command from Adisko grants you temporarily (in a local shell for a duration of its existence only) additional privileges (without granting full root permissions) to send and receive ICMP packets, thus making wine be able to implement ping / ICMP functionality. It is a decent solution. This is what cap_net_raw+eip part does. The pcap part is packet capture (like network analyzer, like wireshark or tcpdump is using pcap), not sure why it is needed, but maybe it is for local discovery of servers, or something, it shouldn't be needed for ICMP I think. Similary I don't think cap_setuid is needed.

I tried to give wine-preloader executable file the these permissions (using setcap), but then there are some issues with dynamic linker. So I think capsh solution from Adisko is more reliable.

@Adisko is the cap_setuid really nacassary? That seems a bit dangerous.

Update. It appears pcap and setuid are needed.

Here is simplified command:

sudo --preserve-env capsh --caps="cap_net_raw+eip cap_setpcap+ep cap_setuid,cap_setgid+ep" --keep=1 --user=$USER  -- -c "/usr/bin/env steam"

@lenwtet That would run with your system-installed wine, probably newer with different fixes compared to Proton. What version of wine have you installed to your system?

In addition, have you tried launching Among Us via a version of GloriousEggroll's proton-ge-custom?

@Baguettedood I have installed wine version 5.18. proton-ge-custom did not help

@lenwtet Tell me more about your system. What graphics card/drivers/etc. The information that the compatibility reports ask for when creating a new issue.

When you say "does not work" do you mean it doesn't open at all, or that the game opens fine but you can't move your character/some other issue?

With Proton 5.13-1 it's still working without any issues here.
With 5.13-1 I was also able to run another game which I had no success with 5.0-9 (#4222)
Maybe people who had issues could give a try with the new Proton version?

The keyboard issue does seem fixed with Proton 5.13. As far as I'm now aware, there should be no more symptoms directly stemming from Proton, but players may still experience issues depending on configuration/hardware/actual game bugs.

I still have no keyboard input on Proton 5.13-1 (or 5.0-9). Keyboard input works for me on 4.11-13. I have not set any custom launch options.

Steam System Information

I can't replicate the keyboard input issue anymore but I'll include the GloriousEggroll solution for those who still have troubles.

I can't use accents with Proton 5.13 and the US international keyboard.
I'm using PopOS 20.10 by the way.

I can't use accents with Proton 5.13 and the US international keyboard.
I'm using PopOS 20.10 by the way.

@gquittet Hello! I'm dealing with this issue in all multiplayer games running with Proton, since I switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu. However, I'm using keyboards with the Portuguese ABNT2 layout (with dedicated keys for accents). This can be extremelly annoying and also a critical issue in games like Among Us when you're trying to type in languages like Portuguese, Spanish or French.

XIM is disabled by default in the registry, so you can try enabling it, as shown in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3791#issuecomment-670811393. You can also try setting the locale manually, as shown in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3528#issuecomment-716204617.

This seems to fix the issue (according to Debian and Slackware users). However, I've tried it in different versions of Ubuntu and it doesn't work. I'm still trying to figure out why. PopOS is based on Ubuntu, so let's see how it goes.

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING! With a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.10. The problem was my system. Now I can confirm that the solution above works. In my case, it wasn't necessary to run with LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 %command%.

The keyboard issue does seem fixed with Proton 5.13. As far as I'm now aware, there should be no more symptoms directly stemming from Proton, but players may still experience issues depending on configuration/hardware/actual game bugs.

5.13 doesn't work at all here, see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/290

Controls does not take into account keyboard layout switch:

• Keyboard layout used for controls will always be starting keyboard layout
• Keyboard layout used for chat is correctly taken into account when switching

Tested with Proton 5.13

Hi. I'm using proton 4.11.13 (because 5 for among us doesn't work). I have my AZERTY turn into a qwerty US (langage also fr/eng) but when I want to play with the qwerty on, AZERTY is always on for the game and the keyboard don't let me play with qsdz but with award. I don't know if I'm clean but I write in qwerty in the game but keyboard play with AZERTY at the same time. Can you help me ? I'm on a Ubuntu 18

@adoloran Try to switch keyboard layout before starting the game. It seems to be a generic problem with Proton.

@haroldm hi thanks for your answer. But it doesn't seem to work either :(

Game does not lauch for me with Proton >=5.0. 4.11 works fine.

@saboya Might be because newer Proton versions require newer drivers (specifically because of newer DXVK versions). What is your graphics driver version?

@Baguettedood Mesa 20.2.2 with 5.9 kernel. Ryzem 3700U / Vega 10.

@saboya I dunno then. Maybe looking through the logs generated by PROTON_LOG=1 could help figure it out, but if what you have works fine then no real need to worry about it.

@Baguettedood Just found out why:

https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/642

There's a flatpak-compatible 5.13 Proton alternative there that runs against flatpak environment.

@saboya So Proton 5.0 works fine, you're just having trouble with Proton 5.13?

@Baguettedood Yeah, I just tested here, and 5.0 does work, my bad.

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING! With a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.10. The problem was my system. Now I can confirm that the solution above works. In my case, it wasn't necessary to run with LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 %command%.

It seems like I solve the problem this way with Russian layout, thanks!

It works only with English (US) keyboard layout. When I switch to Russian or Ukrainian in-game I get "???" instead of letters.

It works only with English (US) keyboard layout. When I switch to Russian or Ukrainian in-game I get "???" instead of letters.

@mamantoha The aforementioned issue was about W/A/S/D controls being broken on different (non-QWERTY) layouts. ~I am not sure Among Us allows UTF-8 (in your case, Russian/Ukranian) characters in the in-game nickname input and chat.~
Edit: I was wrong, apparently it does.

@Ristovski as I understand people from Windows do not have this issue.
Also, WASD works well in the Russian/Ukrainian layout. So the issue only with typing.

@mamantoha Ah, my apologies! LC_ALL and LANG should fix all the issues, very weird.

Can someone else with a non-US locale confirm it's working for their language?

@Ristovski well, I got it!

My system locale is LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Then I tried to run Stream via console:

LC_ALL=uk_UA.UTF-8 /usr/bin/steam

Now everything is fine.

Thanks!

@mamantoha Ah, so it also requires running Steam under that locale. I checked and indeed - Steam seems to explicitly export the C or C.UTF-8 locales, explaining why it wasn't working before.

Update on my issue.
No matter what WM I use I cannot switch movement keys with a graphical tray. However switching layout with setxkbmap -layout us works for both movements and typing keys (although it makes graphical layout switcher tray unhappy).

I'm using Debian and uninstaling ibus had no positive effect. I encountered this behaviour with XFCE and Plasma.

Hello, I'm on Manjaro + Xfce with Proton 5.13-2. It seems Among Us take always the first keyboard layout for movements, so with a french keyboard AZERTY you need first set layout "us,fr" then switch to the layout fr to be able to write with azerty keyboard correctly.
To fix my issue, I use xkb-switch.
I create 2 bash scripts (preAmongUs and postAmongUs):
preAmongUs:

#!/bin/bash
# V1

setxkbmap -layout "us,fr" -variant ",azerty"

sleep 1

xkb-switch -n

postAmongUs:

#!/bin/bash
# V1

setxkbmap -layout "fr,fr,us" -variant "azerty,bepo,"

update access right:

chmod +x preAmongUs
chmod +x postAmongUs

and finally in the "Set launch options..." in Among Us properties type:

/home/PathToScript/./preAmongUs ; %command% ; /home/PathToScript/./postAmongUs

hope this guide above can help others, feel free to update with your keyboard layout.

I'm using Steam Play 4.11-13, which used to work until yesterday. Newer versions don't even start up.

My graphics card is fairly new and the drivers are all in place. I can play other titles, like Stellaris, so graphics acceleration is working.

Video Card:
    Driver:  X.Org AMD Radeon RX 5700 (NAVI10, DRM 3.40.0, 5.10.0-rc6, LLVM 9.0.1)
    Driver Version:  4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.2.3
    OpenGL Version: 4.6

@kisak-valve Thanks for your guidance. All information put in here https://gist.github.com/mweinelt/2689534c4f9c7c3aaef783e4d0721d8e.

Indeed very odd. Guess I'll bisect my system then, should be the steam environment, because other wine environments don't experience this issue.

It's still working on Proton 4.2-9, what does that even mean. /o\

Hi. I’m having the same problem as @mweinelt , also on NixOS. However, switching to Proton 4.2.9 didn’t work.

The game used to work perfectly on the 5.0.10 version, then stopped completely with the lastest game version a few days ago.

Yes, i had it, and the game launches as soon as I removed it. Thanks, i should have thought about this setting

Runs, but can't seem to join any public games. They ARE listed, but get denied each time. This worked with an earlier version (I think 5.13.x), but also maybe an earlier version of the game as well.

@nightsky30 This happened to me when I first installed the game. If you just installed it, just let it try to join a game. In a few
minutes, it will throw a network connection error and show the changelog of the new version. After that, you might be able to play.

Never mind, I just saw you indicate they are listed. Not the same situation unfortunately.

With the new Among Us AirShip Update I'm unable to sign in ingame and it gives me the following error.

"Something went wrong with signing into your account. Please try again later (Error MismatchedProductUserIDs)"

For me the latest update broke being able to connect to the nextwork. I can boot the game but can't anything except local I guess which I don't do.

With the new Among Us AirShip Update I'm unable to sign in ingame and it gives me the following error.

"Something went wrong with signing into your account. Please try again later (Error MismatchedProductUserIDs)"

I believe I've found a workaround for this issue, when in the account menu use the "Randomize Name" button, I believe this logs you in what is called a "Guest" account, so this will allow you to play.
If you want to change your name, close the game, go into the proton prefix of the game and change your name in the game config file directly.

+1 for Error MismatchedProductUserIDs. I was able to log in earlier today when I was just doing freeplay. This error started after I tried changing my proton version. Originally was set to experimental Tried all other proton versions with no results. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling hoping to be able to log in again if not connect to a game but no luck. Even deleted all local files including proton versions and re-installing. Continue to get this error and am unable to join any games.

That worked for me!

For those wondering how to change the name without messing with proton command line, the player name is the first set of characters in the file stored at '/steamapps/compatdata/945360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Innersloth/Among Us/playerPrefs'.

Now all we have to do is wait on a fix for the 'MismatchedProductUserIDs' error; since that is most likely on their end. :)

It is on their end indeed.

- If you're having issues signing into accounts (MismatchedProductUserIDs and LinkAccountFail), make sure you are not trying to log into multiple accounts on your platform (Steam/Google Play/Epic/etc.) - right now the game only supports connecting one account to the game. This also could happen if you are logged into the same account on multiple devices.

This is what they stated but logging out from the first sign-in doesnt help either.

Same for me since the airship update. Hosting a game (screen turns black, in-game music stops) and joining public games (finds none) doesn't work. And the only area option I see is NA.

That worked for me!

Thanks ! For those who didn't find that folder, it's easier to go in steam, in game collection, right click Among US -> manage -> browse local files, go back 2 folders (you will land in "steamapps"), and then follow these instructions (quoted)

The last time I played this game on proton everything worked fine except for the fact that I couldn't chat but I learned from youtube that's it's because it's disabled due to age. I don't think it's a proton issue because I had the same issue on geforce now. I think the among us dev team needs to make a fix their age restricting system. The only issue unique to proton was not being able to connect to the server but that can be worked around by switching servers and switching back.

In my case the issue is an incompatibility between Wine and Mesa 21.0.2.

I have to run the game by entering into the terminal:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5
wine "/home/es20490446e/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Among Us/Among Us.exe"

I can boot the game up to the main menu and sign into my account, and generally navigate the menus. I cannot play online however. I can only see the North America region, when trying to create a game after configuring the lobby it goes to a black screen, and when trying to join a public game/enter a code for a private game, it loads infinitely.

I'm running Arch Linux and Proton 6.3-3, but have tried Proton 5.13-6, 5.0-10 and 4.11-13 (as well as Proton-tkg 6.7 and Proton-GE 6.5). They all give the same errors after loading up the game. I attempted running Steam with the command given further up and it did not help either unfortunately.

• err:winediag:WS_getaddrinfo Failed to resolve your host name IP - Not an error I've come across with Wine before, and looks like something that was prevalent around 2015 with some other games but was patched? It may be related to the below error.
• err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution. - I have verified that I have the samba package installed for my system and that the winbind.service and smb.service are enabled and running. Perhaps Samba is not configured correctly? Though I created the /etc/samba/smb.conf based on smb.conf.default, I was reading something about needing to add ntlm auth = yes somewhere in the file. I attempted that at the bottom and it made no difference even after restarting the Samba services and attempting a reboot. Simply installing the samba package was sufficient to fix this error previously for me on my main PC many months ago.
• err:seh:dispatch_exception Fatal EXCEPTION_WINE_CXX_EXCEPTION exception (code=e06d7363) raised - This error appears four times consistently no matter how long I leave the game running for.

My symptoms are similar to those others are experiencing after updating to the "Airship Update".

I can boot the game up to the main menu and sign into my account, and generally navigate the menus. I cannot play online however. I can only see the North America region, when trying to create a game after configuring the lobby it goes to a black screen, and when trying to join a public game/enter a code for a private game, it loads infinitely.

I fixed this error by double clicking the North American server. Not sure how or why, but that fixed it.

@RogerGodzilla Wow, that actually worked! All regions show up now and I can connect to multiplayer games! Thank you!

With this game sometimes is hard to tell if it isn't just a bug on the game itself 😂

I can't type in Korean, I don't know why but in older versions of Among Us it was possible but not anymore.

Twitch account integration links don't work, a minor issue but an issue with certain exclusive items in the future

@RogerGodzilla just appearing to confirm selecting a region is what also fixed it for me, otherwise it's a black screen. Worked fine on Europe.

Skimming through the comments, it looks like nobody else is experiencing my issue...

I normally play on Proton 4.11-13 as it's worked the best for me. Around game version 2021.6.30s, I started getting issues (starting with visual issues and now crashing upon launch), I moved to 5.0-10 and it launches and everything works except for some reason, the game can't see steam. This can be confirmed by attempting to open the store, only to be greeted by Loading Failed: Steam must be running and logged in to view products

I've tried every version of proton after (Including proton-ge-custom 6.16) and they all crash instantly, with the exception of Proton 5.13-6 which hangs at launch and prevents me from launching the game until I fully quit steam (I have to log out of my system some times).

Summary: Game only launches on 5.0-10, but fails to communicate with steam. Features such as the store and logging in (thus free chat and a custom user name) are disabled.

Works perfectly for me now.

Steam: Current Beta

What is your GPU.

You should always use Mesa on Radeon.

All RX series cards have Vulcan support. This includes all Ryzen series
APUs. Some later R9 series GPUs do still require an override to use the
AMDGPU driver instead of the old Radeon driver.

You should never use the outdated ATI/AMD Catalyst driver and while AMD GPU
Pro is functional it is inferior for gaming and pretty much anything but
verified high-reliability compute functions.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4190#issuecomment-1027403343

Sorry about the late feedback, but this issue got fixed for me in Proton 7.

https://gist.github.com/Greenator/9d653335e59590fcae46798e7a18edb1

Still not working

I don’t know what that means

Issue 3: Unable to type using non-English keyboard layouts

Did some small research, LC_ALL=[lang] LANG=[lang] %command% (replace [lang] with something like pt_BR.UTF-8 for your language and country) does the trick, thanks for the tip to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4190#issuecomment-717076454, but it works only on Proton up to 7.0-6, on Proton 8.0-3 and Experimental, when typing on non-English layout, game renders "????" instead of actual characters.

I'm running Arch Linux with kernel 6.4.11-arch1-1 and sway 1.8.1 + xorg-xwayland 23.2.0 from Arch repos. Launching Among Us v2023.7.12s build 3365 from Steam version 1695085405 (1.0.0.78-1 in Arch repos) in Native mode (provided by Arch package steam-native-runtime 1.0.0.75-3).

@evgfilim1 Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and pointing out that it worked with 7.0-x and not 8.0-x. We will investigate and see if there is anything we can do.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_8.0/proton script that resets LC_ALL by default. And HOST_LC_ALL should be used instead to override the LC_ALL settings. https://gist.github.com/cfillion/4394c3b8cd051fb45721187053e92296 has explained this problem pretty well. The reason why LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 works in Proton 7.0 is probably some kind of accident.

    def init_wine(self):
        if "HOST_LC_ALL" in self.env and len(self.env["HOST_LC_ALL"]) > 0:
            #steam sets LC_ALL=C to help some games, but Wine requires the real value
            #in order to do path conversion between win32 and host. steam sets
            #HOST_LC_ALL to allow us to use the real value.
            self.env["LC_ALL"] = self.env["HOST_LC_ALL"]
        else:
            self.env.pop("LC_ALL", "")

So HOST_LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 %command% should be used instead.

A recent patch has broke this game, I had to fallback to Proton 8.0 @kisak-valve

Ok, I will try it. For now, a downgrade to 8.0 works

@Buggem The game seems to work normally on my end on proton stable (9.0-4), I can create and join matches. When you bring the log it would help to know what kind of issue you have

It fixed itself with the latest proton hotfix

Hi, I have a T430s(Intel i5-3320M) on Arch and it was giving the DirectX11 error when using Proton Hotfix and 9.0-4. I downgraded to 4.11 and it launched but gave an internet error and would not let me join nor host online games.

Edit: Nevermind I am an idiot, I typed in PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 instead of WINED3D, its working great now

Hi, does Among Us work properly now with the latest stable version of Proton?

This is still happening in Among Us. Using Kubuntu 26.04.

Proton Hotfix, Experimental, Latest and other versions do not help.

@AllIsA1 Could you add some details about your issue? All the previous recent issues on this thread have been solved so I'm not sure what you are referring to.
