Correction: it runs on Steam Deck default wine on OpenGL, but crashes on Vulkan.

OpenGL systematically freezes for me on Toxic Contamination level, under recent Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout).

It doesn't crash, just freezes. The music continues, but nothing changes on the screen.

Logs and possibly the correct crash report: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/57rlr99nkeqqqshpn0ifq/jh_report_opengl_toxic_crash.zip?rlkey=yejxomzea5tqawbj4k56ltqig&st=ma5p0reb&dl=0

or, Dropbox seems to be down, so Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MoRHRoPgGm8o5CCQKbnZ98GwtSYGwtVA/view?usp=drive_link

Here are specifically logs after Vulkan startup crash:

I collected all crash report files that I had that I found on my Deck, just in case, here:

Does it currently work for anyone on steam deck?

TBH, please feel free to report this to the SteamDeck crew - we did pass "playable", and somehow I don't see us being at fault that they're constantly messing with the Steam Runtime.

That said, we'll see locally if it works for us anymore.

Also - it will work if you set it to run with Proton + OpenGL.

That's fair enough, will do. Currently I can't get it to run with any config on a brand new Steam Deck.

Well, it doesn't work (thanks glibc), we've removed the Linux version altogether for it to default to Proton, but it seems it doesn't want to do that properly.

Does "Force Proton" not work for you? (works for us, even with the Linux issues)

So is that the reason why Steam shows me a "Content still encrypted" error when I try to update the game on my Linux PC?

Not sure, I wasn't familiar enough with Steam Deck to try and now it won't let me install it at all.

Looks like something went seriously wrong with this change, because now I’m getting “Missing executable …jh.exe” on the Deck.

Checking game integrity doesn’t help. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t help.

The game might lose whatever Deck supported status it had.

I kindly suggest to roll back this change, whatever it was.

SteamDeck just an hour ago awarded us "Playable" again after the verification process and closed my open case about it. I guess you can try reinstalling again?

Reverting the change wont work as the Linux version doesn't work anyway due to Steam distributable updating libc and that one not working with FMOD anymore.

Care to expand a little on what that actually means? Are you saying you can't get your game to run on Linux natively anymore, and it's Valve's fault? I wonder why a bunch of other games aren't affected by that then, or are they (I've noticed no other in my library so far)?

Linux-native games break with libc updates all the time. You need to either continuously rebuild them (pretty hard if you purchased a 3rd-party library), or only install on certain versions of Linux.

Linux by design doesn’t have binary backward compatibility. Windows in this case, as painful it is to admit, is three orders of magnitude better.

I am surprised to hear that. I have Linux-native games that haven't been updated in years and still ran across two or three different distros I used since then, plus the Steam Deck.
