Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Night Trap - 25th Anniversary Edition
  • Steam AppID of the game: 643620

System Information

Game launches, shows "Press A Button To Select Controller Layout" screen, after pressing mouse button, it shows "screaming villains" logo and then screen goes black, nothing happens.

This is the same issue, described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1102 and fix described in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1102#issuecomment-419678627 works.

After applying the fix, game runs smoothly. I found no glitches or artifacts so far.

Created this issue for future reference.

P.S. For completeness sake: I also had to use PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, because my video driver doesn't support some vulkan extensions, but I'm not sure that that's directly related to the game.

Research direction

Start with issue #1102 and its referenced fix, then inspect steam-643620.log alongside the reported Proton 3.16 Beta and PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 environment. Done would require a maintainable resolution or documented status for the black screen, but this report names no source file or test.
