Hi, would you mind adding logs with the +x11drv,+cursor,+event WINEDEBUG channels added in addition to the default ones? It looks like it may be related to winex11 not loading correctly for some reason.

Hello,

thanks for the reply. I would be glad to do that but I'm unsure where to add them.

Cheers!

Hey, I added the channels to user_settings.py and tried it again. I hope that was correct.

Here are the logs:

steam-1264280_proton_experimental.log
steam-1264280_proton_6.3-8.log

Cheers!

Thanks, sadly it's still not really enough to tell what is going on. For some reason (and this actually shouldn't normally happen), winex11.drv loads but fails to initialize, with both Proton versions.

With Proton 6.3 however, this is only the case for the first explorer.exe process, and a second one is spawned and starts up fine. With Proton Experimental, even the second one (and all subsequent processes) fail to load winex11.drv, which ends up ultimately crashing the game.

I have no clue why this happens yet, so maybe adding more debugging channel could tell if you don't mind doing another try. This time with +cursor,+event,+fshack,+systray,+vulkan,+wgl,+winediag,+x11drv,+x11settings,+xdnd,+xim,+xrandr,+xrender,+xvidmode,+user,+explorer,+module,warn+all (in addition to the default ones) which should hopefully cover enough winex11.drv channels and some useful others.

Hey, I added that to the user settings python file. Here are the logs. :)

steam-1264280_proton_experimental.log
steam-1264280_proton_6.3-8.log

They've gotten quite large.

Cheers!

In Debian 12 some dependencies can be broken or doesn't exist for now (for example i can't find crda package).

Also looks like you use nvidia graphics with intel apu. How you select primary device?

Hey, I am not sure what the crda package is. Is that important?
In the end of November 2021/beginning of December 2021 Proton Experimental was still working. Then I didn't have any time anymore until recently and only then I found out that it stopped working.

The X session is running on the Intel GPU but whenever I need the dedicated video card I set the following environment variables: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%
In case I definitely want the dedicated card off (because some games automatically switch to the dedicated card) I use
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=non_NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa %command%, like in this example with Slipways.

However, no matter what environment variables I use I still cannot get the game to start with Proton experimental.

I am also not sure whether it's related to Debian because I asked people on IRC who also used Debian testing and they didn't have any problems with Proton Experimental.

Unfortunately that driver is not yet available on Debian but the problem disappeared just as it appeared. It seems that I can use Proton Experimental now. Unfortunately I cannot say what the reason is that it works now.
