Games with fsync and esync enabled do not launch under 2.14

[ghost]

Describe the bug

If I launch a game under 2.14 using proton experimental bleeding-edge, I need to disable fsync and esync in order to get it to work. If I run the game using the "run exe using prefix option" in the settings the game works as intended, even with fsync and esync enabled. No wineserver processes are running at all

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

I encountered a similar issue but with the default proton 8.x, the game would not start. After finding this issue I disabled fsync and esync and the game then started as before.

[LordChaos73]

What DE are you using? Did you also notice performance degradation?

[jorgicio]

The same, games are only working if esync and disable are disabled when using Proton. I don't have this issue when using Wine.

Using KDE Plasma 6 on EndeavourOS.

Same issue here. Running XFCE in Arch Linux. Disabling esync and fsync does get the game to launch, but the performance is so bad its unplayable (5-10fps where I was getting 60 before). Downgraded to 2.13 and everything is running smooth again.

Hi,

Confirmed on Steam Deck with “Raji” and proton-GE-latest. And I get audio stutter too.

[kaniggl]

have/had the same issue, when upgrading heroic flatpack from 2.13 to 2.14 on nobara linux. fixed it with downgrade to 2.13.

My game doesn't start with 2.14.0. Downgrade to 2.13.0. Mageia 9 with proton GE 8.32.

Same issue here on the Deck, when I disabled esync and fsync then the game launched. Using Valves Proton 8 and seems to only occur with GOG games for me

[mikilopez]

Same here.

Yesterday I was playing a game (Islets, from Epic Store), no issues. Today I updated to 2.14, and the game doesn't run. If I disable Fsync and ESync, the game runs again. Haven't experienced any performance issue, but the game is quite light for my hardware.

System: Manjaro Mate 1.26.2 (kernel 6.6.19), using Proton-8.25-GE. Ryzen 5 7600 with RX 580.

[korewaChino]

Can confirm. Reproducible on Flatpak

[GitUp1234]

Same here, but so far only when trying to launch Risen from GOG with Proton (e.g. Proton 8.0 or Proton-GE-latest). After switching to Wine-GE-Proton8-25 game launches with no issue. Also doesn't affect games from Epic store (e.g. Batman Arkham City or Fallout New Vegas launch with no issue). Heroic 2.14.0 "Flame Emperor Sabo" installed as Flatpak Linux Mint 21.2, Cinnamon 5.8.4 Kernel 6.5.0-26-generic Ryzen 5 5600 Radeon RX 6600

[scroll44]

For me the game is Dishonored 2 from Epic. I use heroic.rpm.

[stuart-bowyer]

So I can confirm that going back to 2.13 fixes the issue. I used the following guide on my Deck https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/downgrade-flatpak-packages

This not a fun bug for sure

Just released a new version, this issue should be fixed now.

If it won't, please reopen the issue.

Thanks

Just tried here and it looks like the issue is fixed. Thank you!
