Proton doesn't work

[RubberduckzillA RIP Alwyn]

Epic game store version, using Heroic launcher, not a single version of proton or proton GE works correctly. Gmae is unplayable

Yeah, if it continues to not function after release or for sideloaded epic version, we will continue to make post-release fixes.

<3 you guys. I imagine performance is going to jump up naturally as I will not be forcing it onto open GL which is maxing out a single core, a long with the other improvements.

I just wanted to post an update for the Steam Deck, the Epic version using the flatpack Heroic game Launcher does not work with DX9 or DX11 versions. OpenGL crashes my Steam Deck outright. I also downloaded and tired GE-Proton7-20 with the same result.

The game in DX9 or DX11 will launch to a grey screen. You have sound and menu but otherwise its grey. The game also loads my save into a solid grey screen.

Proton 7 and GE-Proton7-20 tested

Can you try setting anti-aliasing to disabled and restarting the game? We don't really have this sort of setup for sideloading the EGS version, so I'm not entirely sure if we'll be able to solve it.

No change when launching with anti-aliasing disabled with either DX version. Understood, I will just have to get the steam version. Thanks Luthyr, really love the game!

I ended up adding the epic version to steam on my windows PC, then using desktop mode on the steam deck to locate the game to stream from the PC. This works well if you don't want to repurchase the title just yet.

You ought to be able to play if the game is set to DX9 instead of DX11 in the settings. If you cannot reach the settings in-game, you will have to edit Config.xml where the save folder for the game is located, and change:

<int name="System_VideoDriver" value="6" />
to
<int name="System_VideoDriver" value="4" />

We detect if the game is running on Steam Deck and change it to be compatible, however we will need to look into seeing how we can detect if Proton is running specifically so that all uses are covered.

There may be issues with the current Epic release that may also prevent Proton from working correctly that we have addressed for Steam Deck, but those fixes will not arrive until April 28th (for all platforms).

Worked for me. Thanks a lot.

I know this topic is a bit old, but its a Google result for the issue, so I am posting my solution here.
I fixed the grey screen issue zkilling described when installing the Epic Games version of Bugsnax through the Heroic Games Launcher with the following steps:

1. Download "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)" from Microsoft
2. Install Bugsnax in the Heroic Games Launcher
3. Click on the settings cog for Bugsnax in Heroic Games Launcher
4. Click on the button that says "run exe in this prefix", find and run the downloaded DirectX from Step 1
5. It will ask you where to extract files, I just picked C:
6. Once it is done, find the extracted files in the Bugsnax prefix, you will find another .exe among all the .cab files
7. Run this exe in the Bugsnax prefix, just like in Step 4
8. Go through the install for DirectX
9. Once the install is complete, launch Bugsnax. The game should be rendering properly now.
