Compatibility Report

Did some more digging. I'm getting what looks like the same crash on another desktop (3500X, Arc A580, Nobara). Launches and runs just fine on Steam Deck though. And no, SteamDeck=1 doesn't fix it on the desktops.

Can't run it on Steam Deck either FWIW. Not with latest GE, not with Experimental, 8/9.

Weird. Mine is on Beta channel and running the game with regular Proton Experimental. No issues, just kinda awkward to play since the game apparently has zero controller support.

I'm on main and it just dies like on desktop. I'll try to provide some logs later today if there's anything interesting, desktop logs are kinda barren though.

Desktop PROTON_LOG from Flatpak Steam attached, here's the part where is starts failing:

here is my log aswell, rx 6700, ryzen 7600, cachy os, kernel 6.10, experimental(bleeding edge)

Game only seems to work on steamdeck. Probably related to the Anti Cheat in use?!

What anticheat is being used here?

Edit: oh i see, kernel level? YIKES

Edit again: so i see steamdeck users are having problems also randomly getting booted but others arent, this is great..

Anti Cheat is called AntiCheatExpert.

Hmm well reading up on that, the anticheat must have something flagged in proton because when it detects a cheat it will force quite the game as soon as possible :/

Verified and confirmed that the DRM is indeed checking for wine/proton and then specifically if it's running on the steamdeck. So this is a DRM issue and not a proton/wine issue unfortunately.

Of course ☹️
