Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: The Forest, Hades, Witcher 3 (these were the games I tried, but it crashes on any game)
  • Steam AppID of the game: 242760,292030,1145360

System Information

  • GPU: 6700xt
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 21.1.0-devel
  • Kernel version: 5.8.0-59-generic
  • Link to full system information report as Gist:
  • Proton version: Proton 6.3-5

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

I try to launch any Steam Play game and the window preparing to launch pops up and after a few seconds it closes.

Reproduction

Install ubuntu and the drivers add a NTFS drive and change way it's mounted according to the documentation.

My fstab file looks like this:

UUID=120AB19B0AB17C73 /media/ssd/ ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-242760.log, steam-292030.log, and steam-1145360.log alongside the listed Ubuntu, kernel, Mesa, and Proton versions. Reproduce the launch failure with the NTFS mount and fstab configuration; done means determining why Steam Play games close immediately and verifying that affected games launch successfully.
