Proton 7.0-5 Release Candidate testing

[ivyl]

Hey all.

We've put together a new 7.0 Release Candidate build for you to test.

In the Steam client the Proton 7.0 app should have a release-candidate beta branch (look for Proton 7.0 in your Steam Library, right click -> Properties... -> BETAS) which you can choose to start testing the 7.0-5 Release Candidates (note that the name of the build in the Steam Settings dialog will not be updated). I will post changes here when we push new builds. The source for the latest RC build is available on the proton_7.0-rc branch in this repository. This branch may be force pushed.

We are interested only in issues that are new to the 7.0-5 RC builds. If you believe that something broke please confirm that the problem does not occur with the none branch before reporting it here.

The changelog is tentative - it has not yet been verified by our QA staff, and can change before the final release as we add or remove features during RC testing.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, or perhaps in the games thread, but in regards to Vermintide 2:

While it can technically launch, it's not ready for general use.

A couple of issues:

1. Users need to manually install the Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime. This'll be an issue if a check isn't run to install it automatically during the game installation process (or any other game that is known to use EAC).

2. Assuming the above and the Windows EAC binary is installed successfully (that's part of the games installation process), a prefix update (when there's a newer version of Proton) can cause the game to hang when trying to start it (the prefix update borks for whatever reason). Assuming it doesn't, the Window's binary of EAC needs to be reinstalled or there'll be the EAC connection error. This will also need to be done automatically when a prefix updates.

3. This is the kicker (no pun intended). Even if EAC is installed successfully, joining a game will result in being kicked after a minute or two; this is irrespective of running in the Official or Modded realms. Hosting a game is fine.

Sorry, i know that I asked this already on the 7.0.4 issue thread, but I still want to know if Paladins is getting bumped down to unsupported on deck, for some reason it's still marked as playable on the storefront, even with the eac being borked.

[ivyl]

@waspennator I've poked the people responsible for the ratings again. Not sure why it wasn't resolved the first time around. Thanks for bringing this up!

Folks, please stay on topic. This issue is for per-release testing of 7.0-5. I've marked some comments as off-topic.

Thanks for posting this. Indeed this is relevant. The EAC Runtime should be installed automatically. We'll look into the issues you have reported, but sounds like we'll have to remove it from "playable" list for now.

Commenting to confirm it is now properly bumped down to unsupported. Thank you for helping to get that fixed.

[CSahajdacny]

What was updated in PROTON 7.05 RC today?

[waspennator]

Oh yeah, one more thing. Will a fix for EAs new launchers be included in this or will that be saved for Proton Experimental? Moreso ask since certain effected ea games that run are marked on deck with proton stable.

[ivyl]

What was updated in PROTON 7.05 RC today?

Fix for regression in media playback hitting The Anacrusis.

Moreso ask since certain effected ea games run are marked on deck with proton stable.

We are checking our options but this will be sorted out one way or another.

[Jaizu]

Should I open a github issue for that game or is the comment in this thread enough?
I'm not very familiar with github guidelines when commenting on posts, I hope the comment is relevant for the topic.

The main thread for Vertmintide 2 feedback is here.

[ptibedo]

Dont work for me. With all Proton i have the message 'insufficient ressource' same for the realm modded dont work, the game has infinite while loading.
I have Ubuntu 22.04.1, Nvidia RTX 3050 8gb, 16 gb ram ddr3, cpu intel core I7-4790k 4.4 ghz

[kisak-valve]

Hello @ptibedo, friendly note that your last comment is not coherent in the context of this issue report. It appears to be game-specific feedback, but what game you're referring to is missing.

This issue report is specifically intended for any regressions found between Proton 7.0-4 and the Proton 7.0-5 release candidate, and not general feedback on how individual games are running. Please double check that this is where you intended to write that.

[ptibedo]

A so sorry, this feedback is for Warhammer Vermintide II. I used Ge-proton-7.38, experimental,7.0.4 and proton 7.0.5-rc, the same problem appear.
I have message "insufficient ressource cannot continue" from Eac and when I use the realm modded I have a infinite while loading.For resume the game say : "I have no the config for play", so I have a big config.
Ubuntu 22.04.1, Nvidia RTX 3050 8gb, 16 gb ram ddr3, cpu intel core I7-4790k 4.4 ghz.

[billygoat9]

Unfortunately, The Emperor's Tomb is not playable for me. Left more details on the game's issue. Please look into it if you can.

1. Users need to manually install the Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime. This'll be an issue if a check isn't run to install it automatically during the game installation process (or any other game that is known to use EAC).

I could not reproduce this with a VM where EAC was not already installed. EAC Runtime installed itself automatically. If anyone else has seen this, please let me know.

2. Assuming the above and the Windows EAC binary is installed successfully (that's part of the games installation process), a prefix update (when there's a newer version of Proton) can cause the game to hang when trying to start it (the prefix update borks for whatever reason).

This is an EAC bug :/. It is being investigated - thank you for bringing this to our attention :)

Most welcome. Just doing my small part in helping Valve (and co.) & the general Linux gaming community. With enough time, I'm sure you'll nail it. :) Alot of Linux gamers, including myself, are anxiously awaiting being able to play it properly.

[luisalvarado]

Hi all. May I ask if the final version will use dxvk 2.0?

[kisak-valve]

DXVK 2.0 requires an increase to the minimum video driver version, so it will be included in a future major Proton version and not the 7.0 release series.

Thank you friend.

Spider-Man Miles Morales on Steam Deck uses the 7.0-5 release candidate. Spider-Man Miles Morales doesn't work on desktop Linux however. More specifically, I have a system running PopOS 22.04, an RX 6600 XT, and Mesa 22.2. Is there a reason it's working on one system, but not another? I hear a similar issue happens for others as well.

[luisalvarado]

I have a similar issue where multiple games crash after a couple of minutes but the moment and set them manual to experimental (which I think it is 7.0.5) then they work. I do need to be objective here and say that the computer am using has the latest hardware so I can not be sure if it's the hardware also creating the issue but when I change to proton experimental they work flawlessly.

[CSahajdacny]

Is there an official thread for report issues on PROTON EXPERIMENTAL?

@CSahajdacny The current situation is that issues that happen only on Proton Experimental should be reported on the issue for the game. If you think that something is a regression and is broken in experimental and working on 7.0-x stable, please say that and we will follow up on the game-specific thread :)

Well. I do have a regression in all games using *.mp4 files, (like Back4Blood, Borderlands 3, Chronos Before the Ashes) when played with Proton Experimental.

Thats why I request a thread for Proton Experimental branch, because I think you broke something.

[alasky17]

@CSahajdacny Since there are many changes and Proton Experimental updates are ongoing, it would be a mess to try to have one issue to track all potential problems with the branch.

You can file a new issue if you think that it is a broad issue rather than a game-specific issue. You can also comment on the threads for the individual game(s) with the behavioral change between Experimental and 7.0-x.

As a note - it looks like at least 2 of the 3 titles you mentioned use h264 for video decoding. I am definitely interested in the regression behavior, so please tag me :)
