Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Murderous Pursuits
  • Steam AppID of the game: 638070

System Information

I confirm:

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

steam-638070.log

Symptoms

The game needs xact installed and xaudio2_7 set to native, otherwise it crashes on the first loading screen. The game runs fine then, however when exiting the game, it still crashes. The game error.log reports an access violation of user32.dll, I've attached that error.log file and the proton log when xact is installed:

steam-638070_with_xact.log
error.log

Reproduction

  1. Start the game and try to get past the first loading screen.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the first-loading-screen crash with Proton 3.16-3 and the attached steam-638070.log. Compare the logs with xact installed and xaudio2_7 set to native, then inspect error.log for the exit-time user32.dll access violation. Done means the game loads and exits without either crash.
