I'm creating this thread for Elite: Dangerous. I know this may look like a support thread, but since sounds more specifically like a Proton issue.
This game was working for me on my laptop until recently using Proton. However since a few time, the game does not run anymore, not the launcher. I tried using Proton 4.11 and 5.x, same result
Is anyone observing the same as I do ?
Thanks!
I've setup protontricks and with that I installed dotnet40 into the prefix (`protontricks 359320 dotnet40 win7`). Note that you need to start the game once before running protontricks for having an existing prefix folder.
My launch options are `WINEDLLOVERRIDES=rundll32=d gamemoderun %command%`, though the dll override is just to prevent a rundll message box in case the prefix got updated.
I wanted to get back to playing again but the game kept crashing within about 5-10 minutes so I decided to try and reinstall it. So far I've tried with Proton 4.11-3, Proton 5.0-9 and Proton 5.0-9-next, each time wiping the pfx directory (and the files in the directory containing pfx) and launching the game from Steam two times before running protontricks. As for protontricks, I've tried the following (following the procedure just mentioned before each, meaning 12 attempts in total):
protontricks 359320 -q dotnet40
protontricks 359320 -q dotnet40 win7
protontricks 359320 -q dotnet472
protontricks 359320 -q dotnet472 win7
None of the installs work; Proton 4.11-3 segfaults every time and Proton 5 silently dies, both before showing any window.
Installing with Proton 5.0-9 and then running the game with Proton 5.9-GE-5-ST does show the launcher window, but it freezes when clicking the log in button.
Is it just me or is anyone else having similar issues? More importantly, does anyone know of a solution?
P.S. I've also edited all the .config files to make sure they include <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/> (both as the single supportedRuntime and with the line placed right above the original one).
P.P.S. I would have normally just used 5.9-GE-5-ST but it doesn't seem to work with VR and I just got my Valve Index, so I'm not giving that option up! ;)

I also had a number of issues with proton, but regular wine worked fine. Might be worth trying it with wine. I'm not sure how VR works though, I don't own one.
So, what I did was:
1. Deleted the 359320 directory
2. Set PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% in the game's properties in Steam and ran it again (which failed as expected)
3. Ran env WINEESYNC=0 protontricks 359320 -q dotnet472 win7
4. Ran the game, and now it works again!
So, as my ulimit is set to infinite, I'm guessing this is actually a kernel issue in 5.8.11 (Arch), but at least it's back to working again :D
I'm on Manjaro and choose the Cinnamon desktop, but otherwise, just using fairly stock install. It's using Proton 5.0-9.
That was all in 2D mode - I chose the Horizons option when starting the launcher. Lemme go try VR mode and see if it works.
Edit: Just saw your update, which you made while I was playing/testing Elite for you! Incredible timing. Glad it's working!!
Edit2: Although I'm on kernel 5.8.11-1-MANJARO, and I didn't have to do any of the esync stuff you did. Odd!

2D works for me as well, but in VR I'm consistently getting the Elite splash screen and then SteamVR crashes, both when starting the game from desktop Steam and from the SteamVR dashboard; tried the SteamVR beta from yesterday as well with the same results. No info in the terminal, no error messages, just a black headset screen and the "SteamVR needs to restart" popup dialogue.
I'm honestly considering a reinstall as well at this point :/ My motherboard might be the culprit though, it's an MSI Big Bang XPower-II, which needed special kernel boot flags for years and Manjaro still won't boot on it. I keep seeing "ioctl (SFEATURE): Broken pipe" in the terminal output from Steam (in general), which is what's fuelling my suspicion.
Thanks for the report, scaine :)
