Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold
  • Steam AppID of the game:358190

System Information

  • GPU: gtx 860
  • Driver/LLVM version: 430
  • Kernel version: 5.0.0.37
  • Link to full system information report as Gist:
  • Proton version: 4.11-11

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

Install game, launch, and it hangs at the DOSbox command prompt. I can confirm that Rise of the Triad: Dark War (358410) does the same thing (I will do a separate report for it), as does Blake Stone's sequel Planet Strike, according to reports, but I dont own the latter.

Reproduction

Install, launch, watch hang

Done means identifying the cause of the command-prompt hang and documenting or implementing a verified compatibility fix.
