Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Chronos: Before the Ashes
  • Steam AppID of the game: 967390

System Information

  • Steam Deck (Stable branch) - up to date
  • Proton version: 7.0-5

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.

Sorry, this is my first compatibility report. I don't know if I need to give all the info, but I simply wanted to make Valve aware that this game seems to only work on 7.0-4. Anything later (currently) breaks it, and anything earlier has issues. 6.3-8 for example does not play intro cutscenes. Tested on Steam Deck in the Stable branch, up to date as of 12/8/2022.

Hello @sevansup, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

@sevansup Thank you for reporting this regression! We are investigating it currently.

It must be an specific Steamdeck failure, because on my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop, the game works fine with PROTON 7.0-5, including cutscenes..

Here is the requested log file. Crashes before menu, though once I managed to load (only once, can't reproduce). It didn't crash at all on 7.0-4

Here is gist: https://gist.github.com/sevansup/15fb1363b447247ec2d3d531dba91056

@CSahajdacny @sevansup Yep - it turns out that it is a race condition and enabling logging can "fix" it. This should now be fixed in the "bleeding-edge" beta branch, and the public beta of 7.0-6 (available as a beta for the 7.0-x branch).
