Proton-5.9-GE-8-ST no longer starts a game.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to play Far Cry 5 and read on ProtonDB that it should work fine with the Custom Proton version of GloriousEggrole, but unfortunately no game from Steam starts with this version anymore!

I installed Wine, Winetricks and the latest Nvidia driver.

what could be the reason for that? With the latest Proton version of Valve everything works (except FC5)

My System:

Works fine here also on Manjaro. I know that isn't very helpful, but you probably messed something up while installing it.

Seeing your uptime: if you freshly installed the drivers or a kernel, try a system restart, it might solve the problem. Otherwise I agree. Your best bet might be double checking and redoing your proton-GE installation.

For Far Cry 5, one person on ProtonDB is recommending Proton 5.13-1.
