I confirm:

• 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.

Symptoms The game crashes when start. Grey screen. Sound works. Pressing buttons works. I can even enter the game, but I only listen to it, can't see anything.

I'm using a Dell XPS 9360. Arch Linux updated.

First time Steam user. Download from multilib library (sudo pacman -S steam, with multilib repository enabled). Opened the app, subscribed, purchased Hollow Knight, downloaded and played for a while. I also have the game for PS4. I noticed that it wasnn't perfect, with some scenario lag, but 100% playable. Installed the package lib32-mesa. Rebooted the system. Played the game for a little while more. After another poweroff, the game started with the issue. I really think that I wasn't even using Proton. I hadn't checked the option "forced the use a specific Steam Play compability tool". I was simple playing it if no tweas. After the problem appeared, I uninstalled Steam and installed it again. Same issue. Then I installed the following packages from AUR: proton and wine-valve-git. I checked the "forced the use a specific Steam Play compability tool" and tested all the options. The Proton version don't even launch the game. The Steam Linux Runtime gives the reported issue.

Reproduction

Start by reviewing the linked system information Gist and the Hollow Knight compatibility report for Steam AppID 367520. Reproduce the grey-screen failure on the Dell XPS 9360 with the listed Proton and Steam Linux Runtime options; completion would require identifying a supported configuration or a confirmed fix for the rendering failure.
