When downloading the game ¨Squad¨ from Steam it directly finishes and trying to start the game causes en error:
¨An error occurred while updating Squad (missing executable)
{some very long path here}/squad_launcher.exe¨

When I use the inspect game folder option I can see that the folder is completely empty.

Looks like this game has an unused linux depot.

There are a few steam games that have non-functional or otherwise useless Linux ports, the ability to install the Windows version of a game that has a native Linux version would be incredibly useful.

I agree completely with this.

Battleblock theater's Linux port only works on Ubuntu 14.04.x, however the Linux version works 100% on wine.

Would be great if on the game properties there was a way to override the Linux version and use the windows one.

Unofficial workaround here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/9cuigr/downloadrun_windows_versions_using_proton/

Got as far as near native FPS, funky sound on the shooting range.
Multiplayer is kaput as AntiCheat appears broken, bug report at wine: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44235

Agree with exezin: a dropdown box or radio buttons to switch between Windows and Linux build of a game in Steam would be awesome

It's free weekend but launching it with 4.2-9 fails with the fact it cannot find /squad_launcher.exe error since it didn't download it. Checking files won't help.

It fails using Native2Proton (also it still runs on 3.16 beta instead of 4.2-9)

Squad (sudden fps drops)

Issue transferred from #3071.
@aly199 posted on 2019-09-19T23:29:24:

Latest Proton (4.11-5) has Squad dropping fps, from 60-90fps, down to 15fps. It happens sort of every 20-30s, drops for about 5-10s, then gets back to normal, cycling like this through the entire game.
Reverting back to Proton 4.2-9, the issue disappears.

Hello @aly199, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.

Counter point to the above, I put in a few hours in the game today on the latest Proton (4.11-5) and it runs flawlessly, multiplayer works perfectly as well and I had no issues with the anticheat (this used to play up with Proton)

I do use these launch commands, not sure if they'll make a difference for @aly199

@kisak-valve, I've played for some 5 minutes or so, and the generated log file is 1.8GB in size!
I mean, I'm willing to upload it through whatever means, but github accepts 10MB maximum.

Ouch, Proton logs compress well, but even in an archive there's a good chance it'll be larger than github is happy with.

Yep. 113MB was the best gzip could do.

Not that it helps with diagnosing the perf issue, but debugstr is very active with lines like

This along with the seh lines that fire off with it makes up the majority of the log.

Oh, I had to do some other stuff here, and forgot to mention: I'm running Steam on a firejail, with an overlay-fs. Don't know if it has something to do with anything, but thought I should mention it.
It probably doesn't matter, since the game ran on Proton 4.2-9 without any hiccups, under the same circunstances.

I'm unable to run Squad suddenly due to EAC. No one else is having this issue that I can see. Running on the latest Proton 4.11-7 on Ubuntu 19.10. When I launch the game, it tells me that EAC could not initialize a game client and subsequently, I could not join any online servers.

Still not working. It worked before I reinstalled Ubuntu on this new disk (but with no other hardware changes) and I know others still have it working. I'm tempted to spin up the debugging and see what's wrong.

Wanted to play again since the last time two weeks ago. Same problem. Game runs fine but shows a little popup with: EasyAntiCheat Error: Failed to create IGameClient instance!

The game has not updated in these two weeks and as far as I can see only proton updated in that time (I saw it shortly in my download list downloading 4.11 (or an update for it?)). Anyway, its practically borked now, cause without EAC you can not play on any of the public servers.

Update: I nearly forgot to mention, that I ran WINEPREFIX=~/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/393380/pfx/ ./EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe which surprisingly worked and I could select "repair". Though sadly without any success.

Fresh install by Steam (without Proton) still with the empty repo.

With Proton 4.11-9 it works perfectly fine after deleting the Movies folder (Proton does not have the needed codec), except for the Easy Anti Cheat/EAC which intermitently stopped working since Alpha 16 was launched.

EasyAntiCheat Error: Failed to create IGameClient instance!

Current version is 17.

Beta v18.0.5 has EAC working back, finally. But you have to run it multiple times until it does not show the EAC error.

I can sadly not confirm @BRMateus2's results. I verified my game data, deleted the prefix to have a fresh start and I still get the EAC GameClient error even after starting it 10 times in a row. I'm open to suggestions for what else I could try...

FOUND IT! My games crashed duo to running low on memory. I have 16gb of ram, but apparently that's not enough for most proton games. Apparently, 11Gb of Vram aren't enough for squad too...

@LevitatingBusinessMan

Ah, I now remember when I experienced this issue myself. It was when one of my ram sticks broke and I had to game on 8 gigs.

16 gigs is plenty in my experience if you don't use a desktop environment.

To Fix out of VRAM error just clear shadercache. steamapps/shadercache/393380

That didn't work, still using all vram.

I am unable to get any microphone working using the latest version of Proton (8.0-4). Same issue with the latest version of Proton-GE-25. The game says 'No input device' when I try to use VOIP. If I disable forcing a specific version, the microphone works. I checked the Proton logs and it seems it uses Proton Experimental when a version is not specified.

Proton logs (version 8.0-4) attached below, I had to split it in half due to file-size.

AntiCheat/Multiplayer does work on Arch and NixOS, but I have extremely pulsating∕shaking artifacts on all Objects/Mesh with Nvidia and Wayland. Both Arch and NixOS with fresh install, regardless of settings. Not only associated with the mouse as I wrote earlier, but the mouse amplifies the problem extremely with every little movement. Even the Team selection page does have this problem.

All other games I have play like butter.

It seems, that some particularly glibc developers decided to break backwards compatibility by removing a random flag from glibc, Arch Linux maintained a patch to revert that change, but recent update removed it.

#6051 (comment)

Solution to fix EAC splash screen problem is

  1. Use Flatpak
  2. Use patched version of glibc (GLIBC update broke EAC for most games that use it #6051 (comment))

I can confirm this, it turned out to be a glibc issue on Void Linux, Flatpak version of Steam solved that problem. I'm on Gentoo now, Squad works out of the box here.

Hello Inline,
I brought this to the Dev team and was told that we are currently updatate as we can be on our end, we are on the latest version of the EOS SDK which EAC comes with. The issue may need to be fixed by Epic / EAC on their end.
Also as a reminder we do not natively support Proton or Linux so there will be no ETA for a hotfix on our end.

It seems, if somebody can pinpoint what OWI needs to update, they will update it. That was a message from email support thread.

The glibc issue is still present after a decent amount of patches on the dev's end, the mic issue also still affects proton versions past 8.0-ish.

@alasky17

Collaborator

@cncz42 Does the mic work on Proton Experimental? According to the report from @matthewthomasoc it sounds like the mic was broken on Proton 8.0-x but working on experimental? We do have some patches that were not safe enough for Proton 8.0-x or 9.0-x and live only in experimental right now.

If the mic is still broken on experimental, could you describe specifically which Proton versions are working vs failing?
