Can confirm that adding "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%" as a Launch Option under Properties for the game in Steam appears to have completely fixed the issue.

The gamepad isn't detected inside the game on my machine: System info. Meanwhile, Lego Star Wars The Last Jedi on the same machine does detect it.

About gamepads, under wine this game suffers from this bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42137

I had been meaning to test under proton. But, if it doesn't suffer from the above bug, it sounds like maybe dinput isn't supported with proton?

Curious, my wired first-gen Xbox One gamepad worked perfectly. The game picked it up right away. It prompted me to configure it and the bindings showed the Xbox One button icons and everything. What's the issue exactly?

I found I had to change my Controller Settings in Steam (easiest in Big Picture Mode) to turn off "Configuration Support". I'm not in front of my home PC at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that fixed the issue for me on this game and a few others.

Well yeah, I don't have "Xbox Controller configuration" enabled on Steam Input. I just plugged in the controller normally. Maybe that's why it works for me?

I'm glad this issue is still open because I disagree that a whitelist request can be made if the game requires environment variable tweaks since you;d have to execute them from the terminal to launch steam every time you want to play that game.

since you;d have to execute them from the terminal to launch steam every time you want to play that game.

You can set environment variables per game via the launch options.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% in this case.

Yeah I learned about that method after making that post. Although I wound up using the user_settings.py file after finally finding a youtube video that told me where it was. However using the method you're referring editing the option for the game within steam. Can that be used for multiple tweaks?

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but....

I completely disagree with a whitelist as well. When I load up the game, It just shows some of the models (greyed out), and the esync patch does not work for fixing the sound bug.

Edit: By some of the models, I mean instead of the main menu, like it should show, the game just shows some of the models (staying still, right in front of the screen) and the screen flickers a bit. I've searched high and wide for a fix to this to no avail.

Edit 2: Got both fixed. A reboot was all I needed for the wierd models issue (thankfully), and as for the sound bug I'm still not sure how I fixed it.

I have yet to get this game to start at all.

Proton crashes with an unhandled page fault on read access. I have tested on proton 3.7-8, 3.16-9, 4.2-9 and 4.11-3, none work. It seems in every version, the crash is either in libsdl2 or JoystickAGenericImpl.

Doesn't work

The game has been booting into a black screen for me recently. There is a slight white flicker then it goes back to a black screen and stays there. I've attempted launching it with Proton 4.2, 4.11 and 5.0 with no luck. The attached log is for Proton 5.0.

EDIT: With help from @qsniyg, the backtrace of what happened before the crash was found to be

@bakkerthehacker Have you tried running protontricks 32440 dinput8?

Also, does the game run under normal wine? In @Odzinic's case (which is very similar to yours), the issue was only present under proton, as the proton branch uses SDL for gamepads (though I don't believe the issue is due to SDL, but rather due to proton's code).

protontricks 32440 dinput8 lets the game launch!

Controllers are not working (xbox 360 wired, dualshock 4, dualshock 4 with ds4drv --emulate-xpad) but at least its a start

Hm same issue with me for my DS3. Other LEGO games are detecting it without a problem but this one can't. It did work before with the game. Tested with Steam controller as well and unable to get it detected as well. In both BPM and normal launching.

Using Proton 4.11-13 and the launch options PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% doesn't fix the looping audio problems for me.

Proton log file (just me going into the title screen where the theme music loops over and over again - the looping audio problem is present while playing the game too, but not entering the game beyond the title screen keeps the logfile small):

@E3FxGaming, you are using fsync. Try disabling both esync and fsync.

@mwkroening Thank you so much, this fixed my problem.

When i move around the main menu, with fsync and esync disabled, the audio switches between left and right, its difficult to explain.

i checked the pipewire logs, nothing. No other game does this

EDIT: in the proton log file, i saw this:

9737.428:0124:0190:fixme:dsound:DSOUND_MixerVol There is no support for 8 channels

This https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1981#issuecomment-812626164 didnt help sadly

After tinkering around, i found it:
IF you have a surround audio device, you need to set the sound system to "alsa".
To do this:

1. Stop the game
2. Install protontricks
3. Choose the game with protontricks --gui
4. Choose "select default wineprefix"
5. Choose "change wine settings" or something like that, my system is not in english
6. Scroll down and toggle the checkbox to enabled by "sound=alsa"
7. Now if you start the game, the glitch is gone!

Discovered a minor issue with this game on Steam Deck, though I wasn't able to reproduce it when I tried again just now on a different level.

I paused the game while playing the Super Story in Episode 6—I believe I was on 6-4 when I paused the game, though it may have been 6-3. I suspended the Deck and left it for a while. When I came back, woke up the Deck, and unpaused the game, all audio tracks (sound effects and music) were playing at double speed at normal pitch with frequent crackles, which sounded to me like every other audio sample was being skipped. After a few minutes of this, the game closed itself—I'm not sure if that's related, but I haven't seen TCS crash to desktop before, so it might be.

As mentioned, I attempted to reproduce this just now on 2-2 freeplay with no success, so I can't speak to how common this issue is. I can attempt to reproduce again if needed.

The only issue I've noticed on this game using Proton 9.0-1/Experimental (2024-05-23) is the stuttering that happens during the opening cutscenes of every level. Checking with DXVK's HUD, it seems related to shader compilation (though if you close the game, and start the same level, the stuttering will happen again. for some reason the game doesn't seem to read pre-cached shaders ?). I could observer the same behaviour for WineD3D. We've been discussing this on a DXVK thread, but it's unlikely to be something on their side. This is not major, since I haven't notice stuttering during gameplay. It's possible to be a game or wine bug. I'll leave the Proton logs anyway: steam-32440.tar.gz

My specs:

• OS: Arch (Kernel 6.6.31)

new problem here is that now on the newest Nvidia GPU drivers (at least on linux mint XFCE) the game turns into a slideshow once the main menu shows up

Hello @YourWaterSpencer, friendly note that the log you attached is for a different game.

well this is the only log i have so no clue where the new log went

edit: it strait up didnt create the log and its not making it even though it is in the launch commands
edit2: i put in the launch command wrong

@kisak-valve sorry for that i mistook the old arc raiders log for the lego star wars log

heres the actuall log
steam-32440.log

Im also gonna revert back my drivers and see if this issue and another unrelated issue is fixed

info: Found device: llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 256 bits) (llvmpipe 25.2.8) This is mesa's software Vulkan driver. The game's running on your CPU.

ok so
1 it did fix it by returning to old drivers
2. please tell me how do i force the gpu to be used in proton cause im 99.99% sure this bug has been affecting my uncles computer when trying to launch another game
