Log File

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️: THIS IS A 13GB FILE!

This log file was 13GB before I finally just killed Teardown. The fact that this thing compresses to 103MB is astonishing.
Log File @ Google Drive
It's worth noting that after adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the comand line args in Steam, the program just hung for a few minutes, never getting to the splash screen. I finally killed the process after a minute or two. After removing the PROTON_LOG=1 %command% from the args, it started fine! And then proceeded to crash on startup the second time, as shown in the video.

Symptoms

Teardown has started exhibiting this behavior where it will fail to start, and will throw a dialog error.
I have been playing Teardown for weeks now. I love this game, and I will just hop on randomly to mess around. I have sunk hours into this game, so the fact that it won't start really bothers me.
This just started happening this morning.

Video File

Video of Issue

  • To my surprise, the first time I started Teardown it booted right up! I was so happy!!
  • Then my happiness was completely shattered when I tried to load it again. I guess this issue is intermittent...
  • This is the first time today that Teardown had booted up for me.

I keep getting this error dialog.
