Description

steam-390540.log

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: High Fidelity client
    (A virtual world project that pretty much aims to be the modern Second Life. Lots of Virtual Reality testing going on for. I am mostly interested to be able to log in and build my own worlds and avatars. VR equipment is out of my price range.)
  • Steam AppID of the game: 390540

System Information

steam-390540.log

  • Proton version: 3.7-8

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Window opens but remains gray and has to be force quit.

Reproduction

Start High Fidelity client.
I did open the client some weeks ago and it worked. So either it made an update that broke it, or you did. Since it was working then I did not bother to remember which version of Proton I was at the time, sorry about that.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached steam-390540.log files and the linked system information, then reproduce the gray-window lockup with Proton 3.7-8 by starting High Fidelity client. Done means the client starts without remaining gray or requiring a forced quit, with the result verified on the reported system.
