  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
  • Steam AppID of the game: 2537590

System Information

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.

PROTON log is 130 mb in size and I have problems uploading it with suggested method.

Symptoms:

The game works flawless in flatscreen now using Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge - but it crashes immediately after switching to VR (tried all available proton versions).

However, when disabling Nvidia features:

PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command% -FastLaunch (-FastLaunch skips movies)

the game works once again flawless and in VR, but is devout of Nvidia DLSS.

Reproduction

  1. Run the game normally (no command line options)
  2. Start the VR mode
  3. Experience crash
  4. Run the game with PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command%
  5. Start the VR mode
  6. Experience VR mode as expected.

Hello @makulski, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8255#issuecomment-4187510640.
