Proton 5.13 crashes instantly regardless of game.

[bonkmaykrQ]

Eversince Proton 5.13 came out, when I set it as my default Proton version it caused litterally all of my games to just quit working.

I tried everything I could, reinstalling Proton, reinstalling Steam, reinstalling my graphics driver, blah blah. And I made sure Python was up to date

It took me a very very long time to figure this out, but switching back to Proton 5.9 GE and rebooting solved all of my problems.

This really disappoints me because I upgraded to 5.13 hearing that it added support for RDR2 and instead it just broke everything.

Here's my neofetch output for those who are interested: https://bonkmaykrq.github.io/neofetch-inspiron-3670

Hello @fluffapparition, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Also, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to one of the game's launch options and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.)

If no Proton log is generated, then please completely close Steam, and run steam from a terminal and look for any hints in the terminal spew when you try to run a game with Proton 5.13. If you're using the distro-modified Steam package, then any useful hints might get intercepted and put in ~/.steam/error.log.

[ctjlewis]

Same here @kisak-valve. I can't find the proton log, however (it would hugely aid the development/debugging process if log locations were ubiquitous).

Hello @ctjlewis, pressure-vessel-wrap[514030]: openat(/proc/self/fd/16): Too many levels of symbolic links looks like a pressure vessel issue. Please open a new issue report in the steam-runtime issue tracker.

Hey there @kisak-valve.

Unfortunately I just left for vacation and I have no convenient way of running any games and checking their output logs, but I do have my sysinfo: https://gist.github.com/bonkmaykrq/955090d73b0fb5a4765df30af2691363

I also have a Steam terminal output as of last week. Here's what happens when I try running Deceit:

I attempted removing a few packages that others have claimed to be problematic ー so far no progress.

Thanks @fluffapparition, ERROR: ld.so: object '/run/host/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored. tells us libgtk3-nocsd is involved and you've encountered https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/286.

For the time being I'm going to close as a duplicate, but if sudo apt purge gtk3-nocsd has no effect, then let me know and we can ponder it some more.

Sorry for not clarifying in the last post, but I already purged gtk3-nocsd from the package manager prior to creating this issue.

[kisak-valve]

Does your system information reflect your current system? Something related to gtk3-nocsd is definitely happening there. Maybe also check for libgtk3-nocsd0 with something like apt policy libgtk3-nocsd0.

[bonkmaykrQ]

Does your system information reflect your current system?

To my knowledge, yes.

I'll try checking packages again

[bonkmaykrQ]

Hello @kisak-valve. Running doas apt policy libgtk3-noscd0 tells me it isn't installed.

[kisak-valve]

Thanks for retesting @bonkmaykrQ, I still think this is a duplicate of #286, but it's not clear why that is the case. Let's treat this as a Pressure Vessel issue until there's a stronger indication that the issue is elsewhere.

[lbibass]

I'd just like to say that I am having the same problem here. libgtk3-noscd is not installed. Getting a ton of errors with 5.13, both 5.13.1 and 5.13.2. I installed steam through flatpak.

Hello @lbibass, you've encountered #294 instead of this issue report.

[lbibass]

Hello @lbibass, you've encountered #294 instead of this issue report.

Yup, thank you! Sorry about that. Installing from apt instead of flatpak fixed the problems.

[bonkmaykrQ]

Hello @kisak-valve.

While I was updating my sysinfo on ProtonDB, I noticed something:

"scout runtime container" is not installed.

"soldier runtime container" is not installed.

Could this have something to do with it? I have heard a lot about Proton 5.13 relying on the Runtime containers.

Interestingly, switching to version 5.21-GE (an unofficial fork of Proton), a version based off of 5.13, seems to run just fine.

I could have sworn that just a while ago, the runtimes were installed.

Hi, I just wanted to remark that I think I had this same issue when I posted https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4371 .

Your fix of installing Proton 5.9 GE and setting it as default and then rebooting my PC worked for me, and I have now gotten my games running again on that version of Proton. Thanks for that!

Could you try using 5.21 GE now and see if it works? 5.9 GE is about a month old I think.

While 5.13 vanilla is still not working for me, 5.21 GE seems to be working just fine and actually fixed a few performance issues I had with 5.9 GE.

What's strange about this is that, I'm sure 5.21 GE is based off of 5.13, so how it manages to work while 5.13 doesn't, is beyond me.

Sorry, I would like to help with this, but I use Manjaro, and when I tried installing the AUR package "proton-ge-custom" (1:5.21.GE.1-2) it broke my Steam in a way unrelated to the issue in this thread. The installation went on for about an hour, after which I cancelled it, and now the Steam settings menu is broken in a weird way where I can't select Proton GE as the default. I will see if I can fix it by deleting my steam folders. In future I think I will stick to the stable branch of Proton GE.

[bonkmaykrQ]

You're not supposed to install GE from the package manager, as far as I'm aware. @Antarctic-Ice-Shelf

[bonkmaykrQ]

Hello, @kisak-valve, what are your thoughts?

[bonkmaykrQ]

@kisak-valve, I'd like to report that my issues with Proton 5.13 starting up have been fixed after the -2 revision, however Origin games do not start as promised in 5.0, specifically Titanfall 1 and Jedi Fallen Order.

[kisak-valve]

Glad to hear that it started working for you. It would have been nice to find out what made the difference, but it's not strictly necessary.

Proton 5.13 is the first release to run on top of Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier. Issues with older Proton releases are unrelated to the issue reported here. Please give feedback on those games on their compatibility report in the Proton issue tracker. It wouldn't be surprising if Origin has changed over time and now uses something that Proton 5.0 does not provide.

Since it's now working for you, there's no longer a test case to ponder here, closing.
