Description

Hi everyone,

Clean install Linux Mint 19
Installed steam and enabled all titles
Installed america’s Army
First run configuration works fine
That’s where it crashes.

See the game labeled as “running” in steam and that’s all. No login screen or anything from the game.

Tried proton 3.7 (with all user options)
Tried proton 3.7 beta (with all options).

Will post a log later today.

Research direction

Start by obtaining the missing game log and reproducing the crash after first-run configuration on Linux Mint 19 with Proton 3.7 or its beta. No source file or test is named; done would mean identifying why America’s Army remains running without showing its login screen and documenting a verified resolution.
