Game crashes when trying to enter match, spectate.

[mihnt]

Sorry, don't see any Linux specific stuff here, but there's an issue on my end of things.

Hardware; AMD Ryzen 5 3600, AMD 6650XT, 16GBs RAM, running from a newer model Samsung SATA SSD.
Software: Linux Mint 21.3, Gnome as DE. (Wayland, not X11.)
Proton: Tried Experimental, and GE-Proton9-11

Game crashes almost immediately after entering queue for any mode, or will crash at end of queue when it attempts to load the game itself.

For spectate mode it just crashes when I click into it.

This is a full crash to desktop.

Any other info needed do not hesitate to ask.

Increase vm.max_map_count​

Having the vm.max_map_count set to a low value can affect the stability and performance of some games. It can therefore be desirable to increase the size permanently by creating the following sysctl config file.

/etc/sysctl.d/80-gamecompatibility.conf
vm.max_map_count = 2147483642

Note: The default value is set by /usr/lib/sysctl.d/10-arch.conf, if you use a different file make sure it has higher priority. See sysctl(8) § SYSTEM FILE PRECEDENCE.
Arch Linux uses the value...

Found that, changed it. Works fine now.

That did not fix spectate mode.

Increasing vm.max_map_count made the game work for me on Debian stable (bookworm). Without that, the game crashes when entering a match.

I have the exact same problem, yet I am using Windows 10. Played only 1 time, in other attempts the game crashed in the menu.

ncreasing vm.max_map_count made the game work, but what "old program" are incompatible with this fix ???

I just started having this today. Mine shows a "corrupt file" error along with recommending verifying files, which doesn't fix the problem. The vm.max trick worked for me until today. Debian Stable.
