Hi, About two weeks ago Sea of Thieves on Void Linux suddenly stopped working for me. There have been two reports on ProtonDB since then, and both of them report good results. When launching the game, the initial loading screen (a floating window) will appear. Then, after a much shorter time that usual, the window will disappear, and the game will crash. The game uses EasyAntiCheat, but I can more-or-less confirm that that is not the cause of the issue because Battlebit Remastered - which also uses EasyAntiCheat - still launches, however I am unable to test if online works due to that game being quite dead. Checking the Sea of Thieves launch logs, it contains the usual errors about a lack of NTLM and Kerberos support, and a a ulimit one (also quite common), but then the errors (from Wine) 7412.593:014c:0160:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. 7412.593:014c:0160:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"The explorer process failed to start." This seems to suggest that I have missing drivers, but I have all of the Void Linux AMD GPU drivers installed. Online, it seems that this is sometimes a problem for non-SystemD users, however EloginD seems to fix this. I do have EloginD installed, however, and the only changes I have made to it are disabling all of the Handle* options in the config file, as I use ACPI to manage system sleep.

The final thing that I can think of is that it may have something to do with Flatpak - I am running Steam through Flatpak as EasyAntiCheat does not play well with Void's GLibc version, and there is one bad report of Sea of Thieves on Flatpak on ProtonDB from a few months ago, however there is a more recent successful report. Perhaps I have to give the Flatpak to EloginD somehow? I have no idea how to do that. I've also tried both reinstalling the game, as well as my whole system.

Thanks!

It’s a game my mother like to play and we have recently switched the family pc to the newest version of Linux mint we have a gtx 1650 gpu with the newest drivers on and safe boot disabled and a amd Ryzrn 5 if I can get any help that would be nice she has 2,099 hours in the game and I it’s fixable

Basically see title. Are there any initiatives that are helping improve the anticheat situation? I have some ideas but I'm not a programmer so I could be completely wrong here.

1. Whitelisted kernal that gets compared at games run time using a digital signature?

2. Secureboot? Like what bf2042 is doing.

3. A foss Kernel module that can be linked with easy anticheat etc.

Again not a programmer so I have no idea if anything of these ideas are feasible or effective. For Linux gaming to have long term serviceability it needs to be harder to cheat on it then Windows while still adhering to the Linux way of doing things.

Considering getting a deck for desktop mode vrc and avatar uploading cuz cheaper than a pc but is it possible to upload content on Linux?

Malak on the title screen, player character, and party members all look like this. I have tried a dozen different proton versions, all of the ones that make it to the title screen have the same issue. Tried 7 or 8 different versions of luxtorpeda, the ones that make it to the title screen don't have this issue, but all were unplayable due to either not loading save files or steam input not working. It is running on an ROG Ally z1x running bazzite. I've already made all recommended changes to the swkotor.ini file. Been trying to fix this for about a week now and I'm completely stumped.
