I couldn't reproduce the crash (loading with existing character worked just fine for me 2 of 2 times).

Could you please try the following:

1. Run the game with official Proton Experimental (or better Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge] branch: select [bleeding-edge] in Proton Experimental's properties, Beta page). It won't work out of the box due to EAC launcher problem which is hacked around in Proton GE build. But it should work with the attached EasyAntiCheat_x86.dll (that is the .dll from EAC SDK correct for Linux EAC). Unzipped dll should be copied over EasyAntiCheat/EasyAntiCheat_x86.dll in the game directory). This way the game should start with the launcher normally with official Proton.
   2.If the crash described above still happens with official Proton, could you please attach full (compressed) log (default log from PROTON_LOG=1 %command%). The log may be big but it is compressed very well.

Hi @gofman :wave:

Going forward I won't use GE to troubleshoot just to limit the problem space. Assume Proton Experimental is being used unless specified.

It won't work out of the box due to EAC launcher problem which is hacked around in Proton GE build.

As far as I know, the official New World client shipped all the correct SDK files for EAC with a fresh install via Steam on Linux. Are you saying that the game didn't package the linux eac dll?

This way the game should start with the launcher normally with official Proton.

I backed up the eac directory, and placed your attached dll in the eac directory. Launch options: PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and using Proton Experimental.
Here's the latest (compressed) crash report:
steam-1063730.log.zip

Thanks for your time!

EDIT: I haven't used bleeding edge before so I glossed over that in your request. Here's a log using Proton Experimental with bleeding edge specified:

Hi @gofman

GPU: GTX 1060
Driver/LLVM version: nvidia: 510.60.02 / llvm-config: 13.0.1
Kernel version: 5.17.1-xanmod1-1

I removed GE-proton prefix, switched to proton experimental bleeding edge and copied EasyAntiCheat/EasyAntiCheat_x86.dll as you suggested, with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% as launch options.

Starting the game and loading a character worked 5 times in a row and i was able to play a little while, then crashed the 6th times i started the game before even being able to load a character

steam-1063730.log.zip

Thanks for the logs!

@masonnl Somehow both your log gives no clue even on immediate crash reason (that's apparently not your fault). Can you please attach dmesg (or 'sudo dmesg' if your system restricts dmesg to root only) output dumped right after the game has crashed?

@blae-s Your log does have immediate reason but it suggests some very weird memory corruption reason of which I am unlikely to guess without reproducing.

Are there any hints or more details how any of those crashes can be reproduced? I've got a character which I exited the initial ship wreckage / zombies area, got and completed some first "dueling quest" killing some drowners, and loading in to this character. Is that enough? I wasn't able to reproduce any crashes so far.

Looks to be crashing due to an out of memory dump. Possibly a mem leak or something as it is not an issue with my hardware limitations. dmesg.dump.log

As mentioned, this crash occurs very consistently for me. I am not in the tutorial zone of the game, though which it sounds like you may be? I believe I am logged out in a city.

Hm, if I am not missing something obvious in arithmetic the game takes roughly 10GB of RAM when killed, which is not obviously an issue on 16GB machine. Looks like something potentially explored with the host maybe.

Just in case, is it long to get out of tutorial zone to the city and, provided that is not too long and easy to say, how do I quickly get to a city out of tutorial zone?

Probably takes 10 minutes from opening the game. Just run where it points you, fight the dude with the laser-beam sword, spawn on the beach, and follow the main road into the nearest town (hit 'M' to reveal the map; you will spawn in 1 of 3(?) random areas so the town name will vary).

Following up on this with some new discoveries:

I got to thinking about the oom-killer and it made me realized a couple things:

1. The oom-killer was triggered at exactly 10GB with the appropriate kernal-defined leftovers of ~4GB being preserved for the system.
2. This made me realize I do not have a swapfile setup for this system; this will be important later.

To help see if I was indeed hitting some system-defined process memory cap I ran the following command in the background while booting: free -h -s1 to watch available process memory while loading into New World. As you might expect, available process memory approached 0 and the game process was killed.

I added a swapfile to my system, made an fstab entry, and rebooted to make sure I was repeating the above experiment with a clean slate. Upon loading in, I again saw the available process memory approach 0, but this time the kernal utilized the swapfile for the (seriously egregious) memory usage and I successfully loaded in.

I can confirm that the expanded memory availability resolves the crash I was reporting as part of this compatibility report :tada:

To sum up my findings:

1. Sanity check dmesg to see if there's some system-wide problem that kills the game outside of Proton/Steam. In my case this was an obscene amount of memory use that caused oom-killer to end the NewWorld.exe process. Thank you @gofman for pointing me in this direction.
2. Changing the in-game settings while logged in to a character in New World uses A TON of memory. I resulted to restarting the game to change the visual settings from the main menu screen instead to prevent crashes even after I knew what the root cause was. A swapfile with 8GB is needed on my 16GB system to play on High settings. In game memory usage after 2 hours of gameplay was sitting at <11GB. VRAM was sitting at <6GB. PSA: I had to clear my swap when closing the game so that I could even get things to load upon reopening the game. If others are experiencing crashes related to memory, keep this in mind. If more experienced folks have insight in swappiness fine-tuning, I'd be interested in hearing from you!
3. Adjusting the visual settings did not resolve the stuttering. My settings are as follows, though keep in mind stuttering still occurs with minimum-possible settings (timeframes between 16-50ms consistently):

• Fullscreen (2560x1440)
• High
• vsync ON
• framecap: unlimited
• dynamic resolution: ON (using Proton's nvAPI env var, though I don't think NW utilizes it)

Update: I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 as soon as it came out few days ago. Didn't help. When proton 7.0.2 came out though shortly after that, also didn't help but I switched to experimental bleeding edge after the 7.0.2 release and it appears the crashes are fixed! Still having the freezes that others have mentioned maybe texture loading related (which have lead to several untimely deaths). But the hard crashes appear to be resolved.

I'm experiencing crashes/freezes with the game as well, do I add my information in this issue or do I create a new issue?

Symptoms

Every short while my game freezes and crashes, although I'm getting the impression it's happens more when I'm gaming and switch to my other monitor every now and then to do something on my other monitor but I'm not 100% sure.

Reproduction

1. Launch gaming and enter server.
2. Switch to second monitor to every 10-15 minutes
3. Switch back to my gaming monitor
4. Eventually the game freezes and crashes.

I will do some more testing tomorrow to see what happens if I play for a few hours without switching to my other monitor. If that gives different results I will add it as an update in this post.

Hello @kisak-valve
Thanks for your reply. So if I ran the game with Xorg I wouldn't be having this issue?

Was crashing randomly too much to play, but then I disabled the in-game voice chat and after that no more crashes.

Was crashing randomly too much to play, but then I disabled the in-game voice chat and after that no more crashes.

Thanks - disabling this worked for me too. Up until I tried that I kept getting crashes with:
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated in the console log.

Note that the EAC support for this game seems to be semi-broken. You have to wait for it to error out and then immediately log in again without restarting the game every time you start the game.

Symptoms

I have tried all Proton version, including Proton-GE. Game runs fine in all version except for the fact that the game crashes at random time-intervals. I have noticed that whenever I join an OPR/Instance and the game crashes, I will log back on to the OPR/instance and the game wont crash for the entire duration of the OPR/instance (Doesn't matter how long the opr/instance takes) until it is over and I get ported back out.

Reproduction

Start steam
Launcher options: PROTON_LOG=1 bash -c 'exec "${@/NewWorldLauncher.exe/bin64/NewWorld.exe}"' -- %command%
Hit Play
Select my character
Run around a little, cast a few spells, queue up for OPR. Join OPR.
If lucky I will join the OPR before game crashes, otherwise game will crash inside the OPR.

From the log: *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated, which is a symptom, not a cause.

Thanks, im pretty new to linux. So I wouldn't know what that means. How do I fix it or further debug it?

I restarted the pc without opening anything else other than steam. Not sure if this is helpful at all but I got another log with the same issue. I also ran dmesg and got the SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier log. Let me know if there's anything else I can/should do

Symptoms

When logging in while in Windsward or porting to Windsward, then the game crashes most of the time. According to top the game eats up the whole memory (the free 12Gb out of 16Gb), then goes to swap and eats there 7-8Gb, then crashes. Seems like a memory leak.
I assume, that Windsward is just the case, because it's the most populated city. First I wasn't able to login at all, as I just had 4Gb of swap. After reading here, I added another 32Gb of swap and this allows me to log in in 1 of 10 times. Steam Overlay is deactivated too.

Logging in or porting anywhere else instead of Windsward is working for me.

1. Log off in Windsward.
2. Start game.
3. Log into character.
4. See loading screen.
5. Crash back to desktop.

• I tried different Proton versions (stable, experimental, GE7-34 to GE7-36).
• I tried over several weeks, always with up-to-date system and drivers.
• I tried to repair the files.
• I removed the shader cache, no help (so starting without cache).
• I redownloaded the shader cache, no help.
• I tried with different and no Launch options.

I have the same issue as above.
Ported to Windsward and NW started crashing so my main character is locked. I actually fed it 48gb of swap and still no go.
Replicated on Nobara Manjaro Ubuntu Endeavour and many many many proton versions official ones included
I should mention that i can log on my second char outside Windsward no problem and play for few hours
Attached a proton log as well

steam-1063730.log

Not a proper fix as there's definitely some memory issues with this game, but setting up zram generator allows me to login/port to busy areas like Windsward. It would previously crash there, 9 times out of 10, and I haven't had a single crash since.

It does swap a lot though, and the loading screen lasts for about a minute, but it doesn't crash anymore. I haven't noticed performance issues once the loading completes.

My zram config is pretty basic and adds a 16 Gb swap file. /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf :

[zram0]
zram-size = ram

Hello,
I have the same issue as described by @eXeler0n above . I can confirm that the issue appears always during loading screens.
To bypass it I created 16Gb of swap (I have 16Gb of RAM) and during the first loading screen NW used about 20Gb.
As @kamek-pf said, I try to used zram-generator, but I can make it works.
I created a question on serverfault to get help.
But even without using zram, after the first loading screen, the game is perfectly playable.

Thanks for the quick response. Sure enough, I had split my install over default and kisak-mesa without realizing it. I don't know where the DRI_PRIME is coming from, though the PCI address it's showing is one of the 6900 XTs. I did a bunch more testing, and here's what happened:

1. I standardized on kisak-mesa, but the computer information was showing errors about d3d12. The game crashed during the splash screen for the same four proton versions.
2. I ppa-purged kisak-mesa and went back to default 22.0.5. I noticed that it was using lavapipe as you pointed out, so I tried passing in the vulkan ICDs at the command line when running Steam. When I use x86_64, then the corresponding x11/vulkan entries for x86_64 show as using RADV drivers with no errors, while the i686 devices show: "vkCreateInstance (&inst_info, NULL, vk_instance) failed: ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER (-9)". Switching between them will just make the other one fail with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER.
3. Using the x86_64 ICDs, I tried to start the game on all four protons, but got identical behavior.

Here's the updated Sysinfo Gist using the x86_64 ICDs running steam at the command line. The DRI_PRIME envvar never appeared again.

Here are the updated proton logs, using Mesa 22.0.5 with the x86_64 ICDs from the Steam command line and PROTON_LOG=1 %command% as the runner options: steam-1063730_2.zip

I tried it with GE Proton 7-42 and got the same behavior. I tried using taskset to bind it to the first 8 cores (due to the error about >64 cores), but it didn't appear to change anything. Here's the log using the Radeon ICDs: steam-1063730.zip

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY is what I needed. I'm surprised that taskset didn't do it, but I'm up and running now, thanks for your help!

Have you installed Steam Easy-Anti cheat? You should find it in your library when searching for it.

Have you installed Steam Easy-Anti cheat? You should find it in your library when searching for it.

You means Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtine? Yes it helped. But why it was not installed automatic by default?

Valve isn't checking what anti-cheat is used by every game, so they just don't know what games need EAC. And it seems, they like to have no bloat - so no EAC install without any need.

Is everything bad with controller support? It seems controller support even exist, but it unusable. If move the left stick forward, then the main character in a frozen pose barely crawls forward. If you move the stick back, then the movement is much better. And this is on a usual xbox controller.

Demonstration: https://youtu.be/6bT5nOifZzE

@NTMan This isn't controller support, you're using steam's key-press PWM (pulse width modulation) to map the analog stick to keys.
New World doesn't support analog movement input. Only Amazon Games can fix this properly.

Hi, I cleaned installed EndeavourOS with KDE and I just installed a web browser and steam and downloaded New World and randomly when I playing all the system freezes and I don't know what to do I tried to do a ctrl + tab and tried to push the windows key to open the start menu and it doesn't do anything I have to push the power button in order to shut down the PC, what can be the problem? I miss something to install?

Using proton experimental

I have no clue what is happening the ram usage of the last time that it freezed was around 42% without using swap

I'm not sure what causes this.
May try install gamemode (when it isn't already) and then use "gamemoderun %command%" without "" as start parameter in Steam.
Also can you check if you run on Wayland or X11? May switching to X11 when running on Wayland could help.

Edit: Also search for Proto up! in repository, install it and then install GE-Proton-xx (newest) there. Then select this instead of experimental. Hint: After installing GE you must restart Steam to see it there.

I'm running x11, I tried gamemoderun and proton ge and it freezed again, right now I'm testing the game with all settings at the lowest possible I also tried diferents ssd (one ssd and one nvme) and I get the same result

Game isn't starting anymore since last patch. Is it just me?

New world crashing very often during loading screens

[Edit, did not solve the issue - it happened again]

Hello,

possibly I found something after long repeating duckduckgo - searches.
There was a message board post relating to this issue
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/143tjqb/tales_of_arise_overloading_ryzen_5600x_when/
They advice to modify this:
sysctl vm.max_map_count
vm.max_map_count = 65530
to 2147483642
with the command
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=2147483642
This is a system memory handler argument from my understanding.
The discussion refers to this information:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-39-VM-Max-Map-Count

I had the issue trying to logon ~10 times again, after modifying this value it worked instandly - hopefully this solves the problem.

Best regards

Kitsab

Thank you for the quick reply! Launching steam through the terminal does seem to impact the DRI_PRIME code (it no longer appears at all in the runtime diagnostic output), however, Vulkan seems to remain the same, as does the crashing issue.

With New World's season 4 update it started to crash for me as well after the loading screen.
On Proton v7.0-6 that i have been using, it gives me this error, dont have any more logs than this for now.

I've gotten that same error when trying older versions of Proton/GE-Proton as well.

As @stiangrindvoll mentioned, the issue started this morning after a large patch. Up until this, things were running smoothly.

Here is my proton steam log file
steam-1063730.log.gz

I assume you both have high core count CPUs.
Can you check if it works by limiting the amount of logical cores to 26?
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=26:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 %command%
Or even lower if that doesn't help.

Edit: Playing with 16 seems stable so far

Yes this worked! Thank you @Blisto91 im currently testing with 18.

Wooo! Can confirm that worked for me as well! 26 still failed, however, I tried the aforementioned 18 count and that did the trick!

Cool thanks. 26 seemed to do the trick for me, but might be a bit random. Shouldn't hurt the game either way.

Edit: actually 26 could still crash ingame at times. 16 seems stable so far

i had crashes at 18 too, randomly while in the game. At 12, i've had no single crash yet.

New World eventually hard crashes my machine and have to hard reboot.

Game crash in journal after freezing machine

Reproduction:

• Launch game from steam with journalctl -f
• Once selecting character and load into world
• Begin to see the above pipewire-pulse spew until game is closed or crashes OS

I have a similar issue to what @mailhotz is reporting. On my end it doesn't crash the entire OS but the game itself will crash after 2 hours of continuous play. Checking journalctl reveals it spews that message several times per second.

Repeatedly crashing in game after 15-40 minutes of gameplay. Happens in a variety of locations.

*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
pid 5923 != 5922, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

The error log shows up to "Fossilize INFO" while starting and then the crash is always "stack smashing detected". I've tried this on Proton 7, 8, 9 beta, and experimental through Steam's compatibility tool.

Does anyone have any idea on next steps? I keep crashing in combat and dying.

The game seems to have a problem with multi-threading and proton, I have been able to achieve stable performance (albeit not great performance) with the following change to my launch options: WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4:0,2,4,6

EDIT: @blae-s why thumbs down?

Someone solution for the crashes? I have a rtx 4070 and a i5 13500, i am using proton 9-10 and Manjaro with wayland

The "Unsupported CPU detected" issue was caused by gamemode. Without using gamemode everything works as expected and without any performance issues.

Steam Overlay doesn't seem to be working on my PC, which breaks Steam Input and the in-game cash store. Honestly that last one may be a positive, but I'm sure AGS disagrees.

I've tried with and without gamescope, it makes no difference. Adding or removing the -e flag in gamescope also doesn't make a difference.

The issue seems to be the EAC pop-up, as I can see the little "Shift+Tab to open" toast notification on the EAC pop-up. Then nothing in game proper.
