Compatibility Report

4557.906:04d4:04d8:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated.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.

Winbind is part of the samba Package, is it installed/updated?

Hi @supersteeeeeeeve
thanks for your comment, unfortunately that didn't help either. The problem is (after installation of the required package) say 70% reproducible, sometimes it starts, but if it doesn't the processes are somehow stopped and not reacting:

And during the long wait, the proton log just adds and adds lines of the form:

733.021:0120:0140:trace:seh:NtGetContextThread 0xfffffffe: eax=000000d5 ebx=0000000c ecx=40010006 edx=0bf7f69c esi=0000000c edi=0bf7fcb0

733.021:0120:0140:trace:seh:NtGetContextThread 0xfffffffe: ds=002b es=002b fs=0063 gs=006b

I have no idea how to debug that, it seems that the program is waiting for some event, but doesn't receive it.

Regular proton games run fine on kernel 5.13.2. It's hard to help you without the gist being filled out.

If you're on arch I'd consider this an arch specific issue and you would need to file a bug upstream.

I'm using 5.13.1 here without problems, on ArchLinux

it could be amd-gpu causing an issue ---> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/309#issuecomment-740989870

@SimplyCorbett @brauliobo are you running amdgpu driver from the kernel, too, or some other hardware?

@ElcoinGL unfortunately, this is not a problem in my case, I have never touched the amdgpu-pro drivers, and use plain kernel included ones. Also, there are no loading errors in the proton log file, simply hanging and waiting.

No I am not using amdgpu.

No I am not using amdgpu.

Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe I can come around a bisecting session on the kernel to isolate the bad behavior.

Perhaps you can provide your specifications in the gist so we can help you better.

Added it to the initial report, and here Gist

Mesa is outdated. Update to the latest 21.1.5 and see if that fixes your problem.

Ok, I will try this later (after work), but since it started only recently to fail, and was working with the same version of MESA before, I am doubtful. Anyway, will try.

I stand corrected. Indeed, the update of kernel required an updated of mesa. With Mesa 21.1.4 (Debian/experimental) all the games work as expected.

Thanks!
