Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Fortress Forever
  • Steam AppID of the game: 253530

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.

steam-253530.log

Symptoms

  • Custom maps cannot be downloaded. Internet Explorer is needed (and cannot be installed due to 64-bit only prefix).
  • On first startup, loading a server/training mode crashes the game if you set the resolution to something besides the default 4:3. It doesn't happen afterwards.

Reproduction

For the crash:

  • Install the game
  • Change 4:3 to 16:9 (I used 1920x1080)
  • Join a server/training mode, it should crash

For the inability to download custom maps:

  • Join a server that uses custom content after the initial crash
  • Any custom maps will not be downloaded, whereas it will on Windows.

Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-253530.log alongside the reported Proton versions and reproducing both the resolution-change crash and custom-map download failure. Done would require confirming the relevant behavior against the Windows result and resolving both compatibility symptoms, but the report names no source files, tests, or entry points.
