Symptoms

When launching DaD, you arrive on the title screen. When the game tries to connect to the servers, it then crashes.

Reproduction

  1. Open Dark and Darker
  2. Wait for "Connecting" screen to show
  3. Crash

It was the game's fault, it's working for me since "Early Access Hotfix 74", the issue was indeed related to audio and caused crashes/issues even on my Windows machine.

Pretty sure it's irrelevant now, but I am also using
OS: Nobara Linux 40 (KDE Plasma)
KERNEL: 6.11.9-200.fsync.fc40.x86_64
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 565.77
RAM: 16 GB

Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-21
Steam launch settings: LD_PRELOAD="" STEAMDECK=1 %command%

Just checked, the game also works on stable Proton 9.0-4

I am seeing the same as the person above. Will close since it's been addressed with today's patch.
