Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Dyson Sphere Program
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1366540

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

steam-1366540.log

Symptoms

Can't launch Dyson Sphere Program (or Warframe).
Tried with latest Proton and with 4 previous versions offered: none work.
Log shows:
4097.939:0020:0030:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
4097.939:0020:0030:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow The explorer process failed to start.

Reproduction

Click "Play" in steam client, launcher window pops up, then goes away. Nothing more
This issue seems similar: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4266 but I'm unable to quite understand what might be wrong with X on my system: it works fine.

Hello @mwigzell, in general, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, but this sounds like general Proton issue and a not game-specific issue.

From the log, prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...): Invalid argument err:environ:run_wineboot failed to start wineboot c00000e5 looks like the first sign of trouble.

Maybe try Ubuntu's hardware enablement kernel with something like sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04? The linux 4.15 kernel has a significant amount of age at this point.

Hi @kisak-valve I tried installing those hwe packages and unfortunately it won't boot to graphics run level. The recovery entry boots to non-graphic run level. I suppose this means that the kernel is somehow incompatible with my i7 cpu/graphic card, and that is the end of it I guess?

Indeed, that's unfortunate. Blind guess that an nVidia dkms package (or by other means) didn't kick off a build, so the kernel-specific nVidia kernel module is missing.

to fix? I would have to build the nvidia driver with the kernel module sources ?

Hi @kisak-valve I spent last 6 days building a new ARCH installation and today I finally got sound working, so I installed STEAM and it started Dyson Sphere Program flawlessly. So I have a handle on it now. The Mint kernel was just too old like you say. Plus, my graphics card is SLOOOOWWWWW! Not sure if maybe I need to make sure it has hardware acceleration.
Thanks for helping out!
