Description

This game has native port, but that one doesn't even let me start a new game (black screen, everything frozen, only main menu works, by pressing ESC). On Proton, everything works flawlessly, until the very end...

Compatibility Report

  • Steam AppID of the game: 48000

  • Kernel version: 5.8.0-33-generic
  • Link to full system information report as Gist: Gist
  • Proton version: 5.13-4 (also tried 4.2-9)

Symptoms

Character in the last part freezes upon entering a "cutscene", making it pretty much impossible to finish the game properly. I have recorded a video that shows it better (SPOILER ALERT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cylmM0Yk2k0
Notice that when I press ESC repeatedly the cutscene seems to move one frame at a time.

Reproduction

Just play the game till the end.

Research direction

Start with the linked Proton log and the compatibility report's reproduction details, then compare the end-game behavior with the recorded video. The issue is complete when LIMBO can reach and finish the final cutscene without freezing under the reported Proton versions and system conditions.
