Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Age of Wonders 4
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1669000

System Information

  • GPU: RTX 3070
  • Driver/LLVM version: nvidia 525.105.17

  • Proton version: Multiple

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

When Using Proton 8, 8-GE and 7-GE the game does not start. After a moment it shows a "Paradox launcher is not responding" and you can only quit it.
When using Proton-7, Paradox Launcher opens. You can click Play Game. A fullscreen window opens and closes. A crash reporter opens and closes after a second or two.

I don't believe this is purely a nvidia issue (the game is rated playable on the store).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached steam-1669000.log and reproducing the report with Proton 8, Proton 8-GE, Proton 7-GE, and Proton 7. Compare the launcher and crash behavior across versions; the issue is done only when the compatibility failure is isolated and a verified fix or actionable diagnosis is available.
