[Linux|Proton] Assetto Corsa missing call from a CSP dll file when launching with latest CSP preview

[TonySSS100]

I recently installed latest CSP preview and CM version (also latest GE-Proton version called 8-20), when I launch game I get this error message:

It's essentially a similar error I had long ago the first time I installed AC on Linux Nobara (Fedora) coming from a bootlooped Windows 11 install from an update, before a new CSP preview got released which fixed that error once and for all.

Lastly I would also like to report a small bug with Paintshop app from App Shelf still related to Linux only: it partially works wherein I'm forced to restart a session in order to load it after installing it and I can only highlight parts of a car but cannot select them since some keyboard and mouse controls stop working until I don't delete its folder from apps folder. I'm so hesitant to use it over traditional templates in Photoshop/GIMP since I'm not that good at creating liveries there frankly and got used to livery editors from console games such as Forza instead.

Lastly when I downgraded to previous version, somehow all LUA apps I have including Pure Config and Planner won't load in game for some reason, but I still have their folders thankfully.

Same error for me (DraugerOS, GE-Proton24-8) with csp 0.180p442 and higher. I found out that disable 'Cache AC memory layout' in 'GENERAL PATCH SETTINGS - Optimizations' fixes this error.

Thanks, that solved the issue, I can now go finally play AC again!

Adding keyword for people to find this easier: Can't find "g_pPfx_Context".

For me on arch linux, with proton 5 and with CSP in version 0.2.0, 0.2.1 or 0.2.2, disabling Cache AC memory layout doesn't fix the issue.
Does someone knows more about this and can help out?
Otherwise I'll create a new issue for a new version. This issue seems to be for 1.8 previews.

I just tried the 0.2.3-preview1 and still get this error.
Should I create a new issue?

Try resetting CSP settings and start over tick by tick until it breaks again

[topas-rec]

It happens with all settings default (I checked every page for the reset button in 0.2.3-preview1).

Switching to 0.1.73 works fine

[topas-rec]

I tried to find out more about this by

• trying more available previews and
• disabling modules (weather fx, rain fx, ...)

The latest version that works is 0.1.79-preview5.

The following versions don't work (fail with the error of this issue)

• 0.1.80-preview442 fails
  • deactivating all modules doesn't help

• 0.2.1-preview2 fails
• 0.2.2-preview1 fails
• 0.2.3-preview1 fails

edit: the latest version that I know of. I didn't find versions between 0.1.79-preview5and 0.1.80-preview442

[greunix]

For me, the options 'Cache AC memory layout' and 'Cache AC data to speed up loading' in 'GENERAL PATCH SETTINGS - Optimizations' must be deactivated for csp to start without fatal errors.

Otherwise try again to deactivate all modules AND all options in 'GENERAL PATCH SETTINGS' except for 'Shaders Patch: Active'. If csp then starts without errors, gradually activate the options again. If not, I'm out of my depth, sorry.

[topas-rec]

I tried both your suggestions and that doesn't work here.
What proton version do you use?

edit: What CSP version do you use?

[greunix]

I use a custom proton version, GE-Proton8-24 (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom).
CSP 0.2.3-preview1.
Linux is draugerOS based on ubuntu.

[ockerman0]

Switching to the Proton 9.0 beta, as well as disabling the 'Cache AC memory layout' seems to have solved this issue for me, as I'm able to use the 2.3 preview without the error.

[topas-rec]

It works now also for me. Details:

I created a fresh Proton 5.0 prefix (game crashes) and then just changed to protonGe8-32 which made the game work.
Then I used lights-patch-v0.2.3-preview1 and disabled the two caching entries in CSP settings and started a race which worked without the error mentioned in this issue.
I had missing fonts, see #316 (comment) for details and after adding the fonts the game worked.
