F.E.A.R. (21090)
Intro movies work fine, but audio in menu and game does not play.
System information: https://gist.github.com/d10sfan/cd6abd90b2f5c549f350b9b878c9d300
Hello @d10sfan, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
Works fine. Arch Linux. Sysinfo: https://gist.github.com/XakepSDK/7b776121c7704ff47e116d9c28898a3c
I had trouble with 2 screen setup - after alt-tabbing, while game was in intro state, game window moved to second screen, but mouse was locked in first screen and main menu UI click-boxes were on first screen. tl;dr - image was on second screen, all interactions with UI were on first screen
Yes, i can. Last 3 switches in settings menu are disabled and forced to off state. Also, mouse is very very horrible in-game, it feels like reverse acceleration.
The issue is that vertical mouse movements are very bad, horizontal is ok. If i move mouse vertically(in-game, not in menu), mouse slow downs. If i move mouse just horizontally, it's fine, if i move mouse vertically only - vertical movement slow downs. If i move mouse vertically and horizontally, even horizontal movement slow downs. Feels like dash moving. Also, i experienced this in other games too - stalker shadow of Chernobyl for example, but this was no so horrifying. I think, these mouse 'bugs' have same source.

Compatibility Report
- Name of the game with compatibility issues: F.E.A.R.
- Steam AppID of the game: 21090
System Information
- GPU: RX Vega
- Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 18.3.0-Devel LLVM8.0
- Kernel version: 4.18.0
- Link to full system information report as Gist: https://gist.github.com/dlove67/2420b2af8ff9049f6a9afe4d2db23b53
- Proton version: Proton 3.7-6
I confirm:
- [X ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- [X ] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
When playing the game and there are particle effects or bodies ragdoll, the FPS will drop to less than 1 fps at times. I found this is particularly bad at a location in the level "Bad Water".
Reproduction
I have created a save game at and uploaded to google drive here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tO5e6CvkyUnQ0i1uowVCRxazDvAoU3PM (the save file is "Bad Water" at time 1:41:54)
You can also see the issue when doing the benchmark, to a much more minor degree, when the soldiers are shooting at each other, framerate drops on my system from around 200+ fps to about 20-30fps.
Small update to my earlier report #1389 with some extra information:
I tried putting all graphics and CPU settings to "Low" in game, but the slowdown was unaffected.
I also tried Vanilla Wine via Lutris (Which had no special fixes, just installed steam and downloaded) and the slowdown was not present, so this appears to be a Proton specific regression.
Also, sorry @kisak-valve. Figured this wouldn't apply since I'm not experiencing the issues reported by @d10sfan. I'll keep it in mind for any future reports I make.
Here's a video of the mouse problem, as I'm experiencing it. That's what happens when moving the mouse at a constant velocity. Here's a heavily trimmed log of it running, had to remove tons of loading/unloading dinput8.dll to fit within file size limit on uploads here.
- GPU: 1080 Ti
- Driver/LLVM version: 396.54.09
- Kernel version: 4.15.0
- Link to full system information report as Gist: https://gist.github.com/necuz/ed8fdb2dd3a4259ab8be6867847dfc4d
- Proton version: Proton 3.16-2
Edit: I should say that the game works fine on Windows 10, though at like 2-3x the fps so that might be masking the issue if it also exists there.
Edit 2: Using native dinput8.dll feels better, but only when running at obscenely high fps, with VSync the game is unplayable (way worse than what's shown in the video).
Mouse stutters only when you move it down. Running game through XWayland solves this trouble for me.
I am also experiencing the no audio bug in tandem with the first level stuck glitch. The common solution (extracting WMFadist.exe, copying l3codeca.acm) does not work for me.
Update: I was able to fix this issue by installing a package with 32-bit mp3 support (specifically this).
As a note, the libmpg123-0:i386 fix doesn't appear to be the cause of the stuttering issue for me, as I already have that package installed. I could try running this on an Intel PC, as it shows as Gold on https://www.protondb.com/app/21090, and threadripper isn't very well represented there (for instance, there's a known bug where Fallout 4 won't progress past the start screen on it in proton).

Hello, is anyone seeing an issue with this game and Proton 4.2 that would block it from being whitelisted?
The steam runtime picked up libmpg123 a fair while ago.
I'm still personally having the slowdown issue, but that may be an issue specific to my hardware (My first guess would be that it doesn't like high thread count CPUs?). I'll post a log when I get home today.
@kisak-valve
and a link to a video I made showing the issue I'm seeing. I'm getting massive framedrops whenever the enemies in the benchmark start shooting, for example.
Proton 4.2-2, i still have weird mouse issues. It's feels strange, slowdowns when moving mouse down.
Okay, so it appears setting "Max software sounds" to minimum under performance mostly resolves the issue. The framerate is still lower than I think it should be but it fixes the framerate dropping to 1-2fps.
Edit: This isn't quite true. It definitely helps a ton, but when multiple enemies are shooting it still drops down to single digit framerates from time to time. I think this is the cause, however.
Here's the log without the framedrops, if it helps.
Hello, is anyone seeing an issue with this game and Proton 4.11-11 that would block it from being whitelisted?
FEAR works wine with Proton 4.11 but after upgrading Proton to 5.0 the game started to crash every time when I load a savestate. I switched back to 4.11, it's working now again.
Hello @SergeyLatyshev, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box.
That's strange, but after I switched Proton to 5.0 again, I had no crashes so far. Probably because it was a different level? I had rewritten those save files.
But I got another issue. Weapons look transparent in the player's hands. It didn't happen with 4.11.
steam-21090.zip
Can you check how the weapon renders with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the game's launch options?
With this option everything is fine. It seems even the framerate is now higher than before.
Hello @soredake, can you check if adding PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command% to the game's launch options helps with your crash?
