Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Let's Build a Zoo
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1547890

System Information

  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti
  • Driver/LLVM version: nvidia 470.62.07
  • Kernel version: 5.15
  • Link to full system information report as Gist:
  • Proton version: Experimental

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

RESOLVED: Game crashes just after opening logo animation
NEW: The above issue has a workaround to just skip the music when it nullrefs, (assuming it's a simple try...catch) but the root problem still exists. Currently the observable symptom is that there is no music when running with Proton.

Reproduction

Just start the game

steam-1547890.log

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-music behavior with Proton Experimental and inspect steam-1547890.log, especially the SEngine.Content.MonogameEmbedLoad.LoadMP3SongFromEmbeddedResource stack entry. Done means the game launches and music loads under Proton without the reported NullReferenceException.
