Symptoms

It won't run, the play button turns to stop, it keeps that way for a long while, more than 20 minutes. It won't open.

Reproduction

Linux version just works, but whenever I force compatibility, it won't work. I had the same problem 2 months ago, but that time it was pop os. Now archlinux. Here this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4817 That fix doesn't work for me now though.

That's very odd, for me I just set it to use experimental even a couple of months ago and still use it that way - it works absolutely fine. Have you tried with Proton-GE then go back to official Proton?(Although I always used official) EDIT: Another suggestion is to try with the AMDGPU-PRO vulkan driver it is possible to have a regression on mesa(I'm unsure of that however, but when I used AMD gpu there were such problems)

Yes I am using standart amdgpu driver. Perhaps amdgpu PRO will solve this. Gonna try later.

amdgpu pro is basically indifferent to amdgpu, the amdgpu drivers are built into the kernel and provide good performance as it is, not like nouveau for nvidia

Symlinks for game config files are overwritten

Issue transferred from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5556. @kallestrop posted on 2022-02-08T06:40:03:

• Proton version 6.3-8
• Tested with Euro Truck Simulator 2 (227300) running with Proton
• Game library is located on a etx4 formated SSD
• OS: Debian 11 Bullseye

When creating a symbolic link for a game config file located in /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/227300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles/56616E696C6C61, the link will always be overwritten after changes are applied in game config menu.

How to reproduce:

• Navigate to profile folder - in my case: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/227300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles/56616E696C6C61
• rename controls.sii to controls.reference
• create symbolic link ln -s controls.reference controls.sii

user@bullseye:ls controls.*
-rw-r--r--  1 user users  35K  8. Feb 07:00 controls.reference
lrwxrwxrwx  1 user users   18  8. Feb 07:25 controls.sii -> controls.reference

Now start the game and apply changes to a keybinding. After that, symlink is overwritten:

user@bullseye:ls controls.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 35K  8. Feb 07:00 controls.reference
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 35K  8. Feb 07:26 controls.sii
