Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: every game (tested on: Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind)
  • Steam AppID of the game: every id (tested on:22320)

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

No game starts (at most the launcher in morrowind is displayed), when I try to use a version of proton higher than 3.16.

Checking all the logs I get this error:

"
8663.763:0184:0188:err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems
8663.763:0184:0188:err:d3d:wined3d_caps_gl_ctx_create Failed to find a suitable pixel format.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the failure with Morrowind (AppID 22320), comparing Proton 3.16 with 4.2 or newer, and review the provided OpenGL initialization errors and system information. Done means games start successfully with newer Proton versions.
