Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): December 16, 2019 (runtime version 0.20191210.1)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): OpenSuse 15.1, 64-bit, all patches applied
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes, please see above
  • Proton Version v4.11-11

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I try to run Eve Online, it won't start the game. Typically it abends with a C++ error in wine (window opens with that). Startup takes several minutes (which I thought was the way the game worked as I have ONLY steam on linux) even before the crashing started. Either way, I'm unable to exit the game without completely shutting down display-manager and killing all processes for steam / proton.
HOWEVER, when I run on 4.2-9 it all runs fine without any of the problems I see in 4.11-11.
I'm fine with running on 4.2-9 for now but concerned that, after 4.2 is deprecated, I won't have any ability to run the game. I have run into similar problems with Proton versions so I thought it was a good idea to submit an issue before 4.2 was retired.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

With ONLY ONE character created (no idea if that matters for this as I'm new to the game).

  1. Select Proton 4.11-11 for running Eve Online.
  2. Hit Play
  3. Hit Play on Eve startup window.
  4. experience C++ wine crash.
