Symptoms

The launcher loads and is intractable however when selecting play the client either crashes or gets stuck on saying "running"in the launcher. However there is nothing happening. I did at one point get an error. However this does not appear most the time.

Reproduction

Launch game with proton 9.0-2 or experimental. Click play on the bottom right of the launcher. Observe as it will either crash or say running without change.

Symptoms

Launcher will launch and save state, but getting vulkan error and error log.

Reproduction

In beta testing, just try to launch game to no avail. Launcher launches but will not go to game

its weird a steamdeck user was able to get the game running while on my setup it just sticks to saying running but nothing ever appears, im on a rx 6700, cachyos so my chances of it running would be similar to a steamdeck but that doesnt seem the case

I got it running on my Deck also. Proton Experimental. First time I tried Proton Experimental it opened the game but froze. I force closed it and tried again and it opened. Doesn't recognize the buttons/sticks so I had to use the touchpad in the menues. Closed it after that. On my desktop (Arch, Nvidia) I can't even get the launcher to open let alone the game. The launcher window just opens and closes.

The game works on Steam Deck completely fine, however it doesn't start at all on any linux distro, the logs show minimal differences. With Proton GE 7.55 you can get quite close to the log on Steam Deck but it still fails to launch the game. steam-2709440cachyos.log steam-2709440SteamDeck.zip

EDIT: I have tested multiple Proton versions which all result in the same outputs in the log and closing after launcher. Even tried to copy the steam deck prefix to no avail.

i think the anti cheat is blocking the launch of the game, hopefully they will support linux some day.

with the latest experimental when i click play the launcher will show running but the game will not start. here is the steamlog https://gist.github.com/McMarius11/e2669f68443b08094fb52193ec650e77

on windows after i click on play it wants to run ACE Setup after that SGuardUpdate

Really wired "AntiCheat" which discriminates Desktop Penguins :( also in all other games form their brand seams to be a workaround with Hoyo/Collapse which is an alternative FOSS launcher. According to some statements (also readable on reddit) accepted by the Devs o.o

+1 here, unable to start it on Proton 8, 9 or experimental. The launcher opens but after clicking launch it will simply get closed without any message.

Haven't tested in Steamdeck because I want to play this in PC. Voted on discord for it

It's Linux Mint 22 - Kernel 6.8.0

[robotman40]

Since it seems to run on Steam Deck, could anyone try using the Steam Deck environment variable? Maybe they added a special code path for Deck?

[DSDV]

~~i have no access yet but~~ i tried dungeon born and the splitgate 2 alpha which have the same "anti cheat" and the same problem (also only runs on the deck).

i tired SteamDeck=1 %command% with no success :/

Also tested SteamDeck=1 gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- %command% with the Delta Force Alpha

as many said only the launcher works the game crashes instant.

[ndavd]

The only protondb report that says they got it working on Deck mentions Switch to older version: 7.0-6

[DSDV]

you can see more examples from playable games: https://areweanticheatyet.com/?search=Anti-Cheat+Expert&sortOrder=&sortBy=

Dungeonborn for example (:

they all share "Anti-Cheat" "Expert" and all i checked run on the deck (fyi with terrible performance) bur not on Desktops.

All run fin on linux when you use hoyo other launchers based on hoyo (which as far as i understand simply don't load the expert anti cheat but are approved by the devs according to redit)

Wanted to create a new issue for Delta Force (2507950) but later I found out there is this one. Game has separate app ID right now during alpha tests I guess. This issue could be renamed IMO to:

Delta Force (2507950) / Delta Force Alpha Test (2709440)

So it could be found from https://www.protondb.com/app/2507950 by 'GitHub Issue Search' button.

System Information

Linux / Arch / kernel 6.10.7 / KDE / Wayland / NVIDIA 560.35.03 / Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge]

Symptoms

Launcher

• mostly works, I could "log in" (it uses Steam account, but you have to select region/country), change some basic launcher settings
• there is no music (not sure if there should be)
• tray icon kinda works, although the right-click menu won't ever close (there is just one option there anyway - Exit)
• sometimes the launcher will launch, hang, and crash
• with PROTON_LOG=1 it hangs and log gets quickly to a gigabyte, here's first 1024 lines of it: 1.log
• with WINEDEBUG=-unwind added (or without logging at all) launcher often freezes with this error, also see the log until this happened: 2.log

• here's a log (with WINEDEBUG=-unwind), where the above error didn't happen and I clicked LAUNCH button - after clicking it the launcher disappeared, presumably game tried to launch, launcher reappeared and it just crashed, log: 3.log

Actual game

Did not launch. Sometimes I got launcher to say 'RUNNING' but no window appeared.

Weapon / Ammo Management Help Please Hi Guys,

I'm a old guy that has a super newbie question. When preparing my load out for a mission, I always get a message that says "Your Ammo is low". This is after I went to my stash, double clicked on 10 boxes of 5.56 ammo from my stash and 6 boxes of 9mm ammo, When I double click on the ammo, it adds them to my load out in the Slots section and sometimes to the Chest Rig section.. Sometimes it shows them only 1 box to a slot, sometimes it stack them and shows a number over that square like 10. Finally I drag a box on top of my rifle and it changes to say 1/17. When I get in game, I have 1 round in the rifle. When I hit R to reload, it says I have no ammo.

I know I'm doing something wrong.

Any help is appreciated.

[LethalManBoob]

still an issue here steam-2951290.log

[DSDV]

can someone maybe test on HoloISO and/or ChimeraOS ?

i got a friends PC specially for this event but i forgot it had an ** nvidia card :( so no gamescope and no test :( only black screens.

[NasirA1991]

If someone can figure out how to bypass the launcher then we might be able to actually launch the game .exe hmm

when launching with deltaforceclient.exe it simply launches and stops after a couple of seconds

here is that log steam-11817271922754846720.log

then here is the launcher log steam-2951290.log

[ndavd]

They are supposedly "cross platform", I don't understand how they are not supporting Linux

[pollux78]

They are supposedly "cross platform", I don't understand how they are not supporting Linux

If that was the case then they should be supporting Mac os but you don't see that happening either

Cross platform just means console and PC(windows)

They should be supporting the switch also but we don't see that either most likely because of its rather low end hardware

I'm wondering if this is an anticheat problem or simply a wine/proton issue when trying to launch the game

[DSDV]

apparently they "consider" linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/1er6s48/comment/li1m5yq/ i guess it is really on thier list since if you combine all the feature request / suggestion upvotes in thier discord linux is among the top.

but i wont get my hopes up. i would rather bet on the alternative hoyo launchers ^^ (which cant use anti cheat - no argument what so ever xD)

[blamedrop]

For reference, these apps apply here:

• Delta Force (2507950)
• Delta Force Alpha Test (2709440)
• Delta Force Demo (2951290)

[AQDuck97]

Some people are claiming to run it on this Next Fest demo but I haven't seen any evidence of it

[data-tim]

Still no luck running with any version of Proton (Experimental or GE builds).

Can get the launcher but immediately closes when attempting game launch. (Fedora 40 - Gnome - Wayland - Nvidia)

[DSDV]

Anyone able to test with holoiso and or chimera os? sadly i could not get them to work on a 1050ti and on my mainpc i could not get them to boot from usb :(

[ndavd]

We aren't even sure if this is an issue with their anti-cheat or something else?

[DSDV]

i dont know but according to this issue and proton db / reddit there are folks who say it runs on the deck but not any other linux distro. So on nobara discord it was suggested to test with holoiso & chimeraos to see if it runs there. And maybe see if we can "fix" other distros. but i dont own a deck and as written above i cant get both distros to run on my test / main hardware to do the testing myself :(

[ndavd]

Indeed, there's a recent report saying that it works on Deck https://www.protondb.com/app/2507950?device=steamDeck

[ErikReider]

Tested it right now on my deck (LCD) and the game boots. Doesn't seem to have controller support though so haven't played a actual match except for tactical turmoil which seems to work at a decent FPS :)
