Black screen after the 'Automatic save' info screen, on Linux

[AciD]

I was able to play for ~12h, but sometimes before (and 100% of the time now), when running the game you can see the logo, the epilepsy warning, then the 'automatic save' info screen.
Then it fades to black...and is supposed to display the game menu, but only displays a black screen.
Is there a fix for this?

I used `sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576` instead of the default 65k, but no real effect so far.
I'm using Debian testing, mesa 25.0.4, amd rx 7900 xtx, Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

I'm having the same problem. Every 3 or 4 launches it will get back past that screen and I can play normal. Not sure what the problem is but I am also on Trixie.

Same here, but it does not work every odd time like it does for CHUI2CH. Also running Ubuntu 24.04 with a similar AMD setup.

What are your settings to run the game? I tried Proton Experimental, Hotfix and 9 branches with mainly "gamemoderun %command%" as the params.

Did you try GE27? I have been running that since day 1 launch with zero issues.

The only launch option I have is for VKcapture. I did try GEproton 9-27 as was suggested and there was no change. I have also removed the VKcapture launch option without success. When I watch the kde task manager the process just kinda stops. I had a similar problem with AC Origins a few years ago. When it launched it played great, but it might not launch 10 time in a row.

Ran stream from cmd. Here is the error I get when the game does not launch.
wine client error:1d0: read: Invalid argument
I removed the old prefix and I am still having the same problem. This seems to be the only game that is giving me problems.

Like you I tried Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, GEproton 9-27, and using "gamemoderun %command%" as the params.
None of that seems to have an effect on the game stability, unfortunately.
