Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Alchemist's House (a free game)
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1208520

System Information

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 and Reproduction

  1. Download the game
  2. Press play
  3. A black screen appears. Nothing else come out of it. Has to press "STOP" on Steam and even kill the still lingering wine processes.

Also tried with Proton-5.0-10 (doesn't even show the black screen), Proton-GE-21-ST-1 and even 5.0-10 with the forbidden mfplat stuff.

Research direction

Start with the attached steam-1208520.log and reproduce The Alchemist's House using Proton 5.13-4, then compare the reported behavior with Proton 5.0-10 and Proton-GE-21-ST-1. Done means the game starts without a black screen and Steam does not leave lingering Wine processes after stopping it.
