Can't launch any steam game with proton

[BurGrill | Biggie Cheese]

I'm having issues starting any steam game with Proton. Steam opens the "Preparing to launch game XXX..." message, but after that nothing happens. Games won't launch at all.

Here are my system specs: https://pastebin.com/5upLrg9Y
Here is a log of the game" Subnautica Below Zero": https://pastebin.com/RP9XNiPP
Here is a log of the game "Shieldwall": https://pastebin.com/2Yzsfxkv

I installed Steam on a different hard drive than my games library, but both of them are formatted as ext4.
Proton is activated for all games, with Version 5.0-8, also used glorious eggrolls Proton version but I believe it is an general error.

Hope somebody can help me with the logs as I don't really know what went wrong.

warn: D3D11CoreCreateDevice: Adapter is not a DXVK adapter

Looks like you are missing some vulkan packages.

I'm not a Mint or AMD user so can't tell you which.

I have MESA 19.3.4 driver, which seems like they are the newest stabel version for AMD GPU
(OpenGL 4.5 and Vulkan 1.1)

You edit any global configuration settings for DXVK manually, by any chance?

Relating to jason's post: would indicate something is definitely missing or an editing issue needing an update (manual configuration) or something was edited and the adapter's path point to an incompatible object. Pretty sure Eggroll installs pre-configured so maybe a dependency didn't get installed correctly or a global config edit (affecting multiple titles) was messed up somehow. at any rate wish you the best getting things worked out.

i dont use Mint but i know on Ubuntu you need to use V19+ before you could get Proton 5+ to work out of the box

There are 2 most likely issues here:

1) missing libs (32-bit and/or vulkan), so lets try to add them and if they're already there no harm was done:

first try enabling the use of 32-bit architecture... linux mint 19.3 should have it on by default, but better make sure

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

then refresh apt's cache of existing software in the repos, so it can list the 32-bit ones properly

sudo apt update

and then try to install them... note that vulkan requires extra libs to work, which unfortunately Ubuntu 18.04 (and by consequence LM 19.3) didn't ship installed by default:

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

2) You have a Ryzen 3 CPU, and are using the 5.3 kernel... that kernel is not recent enough to have one built-in tweak or two that were contributed to the kernel code after that CPU was released to handle a feature Proton uses...

tl;dr: you might need a small tweak to the linux kernel at boot until LM ships a recent enough kernel version

try updating the kernel to 5.4, reboot and test proton again... if that isn't enough, try this tweak: the mainline 5.5 kernel (as @Zyro said below).

If I remember correctly, 5.5 solved my Ryzen 3 problems.

On Linux Mint Cinnamon the Linux kernel 5.4 is not available asa stable release. But your comment did the trick. Thanks a lot for all the comments, I learned something new :D

5.4 has become available through the Linux Mint Update Manager's Kernel update utility, as of this week.

In some machines I had it offered via normal update channels as well, in others I had to manually select it in the kernel updates menu entry.

But @Zyro was right, I took a while to search for the missing threads were Ryzen 3 issues were fixed, and it was done by updating to the 5.5 kernel.

I'm glad these pointers helped!

@Marlock The solution for the first issue is work for me, thank you very much!
