Works without tinkering now
Running with Proton 8.0-4, the game now launches and plays without any issues.
force_compat_profile=true %command%
On launch, at the top left of the screen, there is a "JamesTownPlus Error Reports" notification, which goes away in a few seconds. It appears meaningless as despite testing I can't find any bugs from it.
Without following Amador's instructions (launch options + proton experimental), the game refused to launch. With the instructions, it runs almost flawlessly. Only issue is that error notification at the start.
Note: Amador uses Proton Experimental. I use Proton 8.0-3. Both work flawlessly in my testing.
force_compat_profile=true %command%
If you have an AMD GPU (including Steam Deck), you need to put force_compat_profile=true %command% in Launch Options.
Runs out of the box, no tinkering needed. Seems to only work with nvidia cards.
Crashes at startup still.
Tried recommended Proton, Experimental, and GE. Still seems to crash at startup, unfortunately.
Game crashes at launch. Tried different proton versions, experimental proton, and proton-ge
I've tried using various versions of Proton, Proton-GE, and experimental, but the game just crashes on launch
Might be related to the AMD GPU in Linux - runs fine in windows on Steamdeck, and runs fine on nVidia with Manjaro
The game ran great out of the box, no configuration necessary!
Crashes when starting. Tried Proton Experimental, Glorious Eggroll, and many versions of Proton.
Crashes at startup
Works fine out of the box. No tinkering required. Works flawlessly with a PS4 gamepad and a PS2 gamepad hooked using an USB adapter.
5.21-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
GloriousEggroll's custom Proton version 5.21-GE-1
Game crashes immediately after starting.
Might not work out of the box
game does lot launch on using amd gpu but works fine on switching to nvidia gpu.
Proton version 5.0
The game crashes when attempting to start the game
the screen goes black for a few seconds the first time loading the game i can hear the background music for a short while, then the screen goes back to normal and the send crash thing appears.
Crash at start and offer to send a report to dev.
Used to work with Nvidia GTX970. Now crash with AMD RX 5700 XT.
Doesn't start
Crashes immediately before opening a window. Offers to send a minidump to developers.
Crashes on startup. Music plays but stops when the crash report is ready to be sent.
Crackling at the very beginning. Stopped after the main menu appeared. Might have been my headphones...
