Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Forewarned
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1562420

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

Game does not start in VR mode. In pancake mode it seems to be working OK, although I haven't tested much yet.

Reproduction

  1. Start the game in Steam VR mode with SteamVR running.
  2. Wait for something to appear. both the pancake screen and the VR glasses become black, with the pancake screen having a golden cursor. Music of the game starts but it never presents anything else except the black screen. VR controls do not seem to respond either.

The proton logfile ended up having 66 MiB, so I could not upload it in the bug report. Had to zip it to fit the bug report constraints.

Research direction

Start with the reproduction steps in the issue and inspect the attached steam-1562420.zip log while running Forewarned in SteamVR with Proton 6.3-6. Confirm the failure against the listed RX 6800 XT, Mesa 21.2.1, and kernel details; done means the game renders and accepts controls in VR instead of showing a black screen.
