Borderlands 2 VR (991260)

Compatibility Report

• Borderlands 2 VR
• 991260
  Works perfectly except for two issues:

1. Often crashes semi-randomly (seems more prone to it in some areas) with a "file not found" or "Rendering thread exception: Fatal error!" dialog box
2. Sometimes the sound randomly stops. Game continues to run silent.

System Information

• GPU: RTX 2070 SUPER
• Driver 440.82
• 5.6.0-16.2-liquorix-amd64 (it has the same symptoms on regular ubuntu kernels like 5.4.0-31.35 and also Valve's 5.0.0-20.21+1valve1+mfutex1)
• git with sysinfo: https://gist.github.com/Patola/c7bdad357935be24e2fcb9439fa128a1
• Proton version: 5.0-8

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

1. Often crashes semi-randomly (seems more prone to it in some areas) with a "Rendering thread exception: Fatal error! ... Filename not found" dialog box
2. Sometimes the sound randomly stops. Game continues to run silent.

Reproduction

• Play the game for more than 30 minutes.
• One of the two aforementioned problems should happen. The crash with an error dialog exits the game. The sound doesn't.

steam-991260.log

Start by reviewing the attached steam-991260.log and the reported rendering-thread error, then reproduce the game for more than 30 minutes using the listed Proton and kernel context. Done means the intermittent crash and silent-audio failure are resolved or their causes are isolated with supporting reproduction details.
