Hello @Git-Forked, err:steamclient:create_win_interface Don't recognize interface name: SteamUser023 looks like the line of interest in your Proton log. This is part of Steamworks 1.57 which should be supported since Proton 8.0-3. Proton 7.0 is too old for this game now.

[Git-Forked]

Additional info:

Asphalt 9 worked fine for a long time (420 hours since Aug 3, 2022), but after the 12/12/23 update, it crashes on load.

[Git-Forked]

@kisak-valve Did Proton 7 become too old yesterday?
I've been using Proton 7 fine from install until yesterday.

I will try Proton 8.

[Git-Forked]

Doesn't seem to work with Proton 8.0-4 either.

warn:  Skipping Vulkan 1.2 adapter: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)
warn:  DXVK: No adapters found. Please check your device filter settings and Vulkan setup. A Vulkan 1.3 capable driver is required.

Unfortunately, this time it's due to your hardware generation lacking Vulkan 1.3 support which goes back to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/7827#note_1672395. You might be able to find a driver override, but since the Vulkan drivers for your hardware generation are not spec compliant, that makes your system unsupportable by Proton in general.

@kisak-valve I don't use Vulkan ever, I use OpenGL to play games.
With Proton 7, this was not an issue. Do I need to specify a game launch option to force the game to load with OpenGL instead?

[kisak-valve]

You can try setting the game's launch options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% to tell Proton to use wine's DirectX to OpenGL render path, but that's known to come with a significant performance penalty and the launch option is not considered supported.

[Git-Forked]

@kisak-valve That worked! PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% Thank you so much, I can play the game again. I don't notice any performance penalty because I have always played the game with OpenGL.
