Stuck in loading screen / Linux

[Crabot]

Since the update from yesterday, whenever I try to join a game, I get stuck in the loading screen.
I tried joining a game today after the patches and it still happens.
I have read other linux users reporting the same problem so it seems it's a problem with linux.

I realize that i didn't use a Proton compatibility Layer and i run the Game native? I tried "Proton Experimental" but even with Proton i cant pass the Loading screen and the Game stucks aswell.

Startoption "gamemoderun %command%"

it worked before for many Matches without Problems

Having the same issue here on steam deck as well. Unfortunately got banned (timed out?) from matches with bots due to the bug.

There are also two other unexpected behaviors noted:
- Sandbox launches only in solo, when someone else in the party it also doesn't load.
- When exiting the game it freezes and the only way to stop it is to terminate process. (Screenshot 3)

Other findings:
- Got this message during one of sandbox launches (screenshot 1);
- Sometimes during loading screen these buttons appear in lower right corner of the menu.

Attaching console logs from launching the private bot match as well as sandbox + video of the bug.

Upd: during collecting logs I managed to start a game with bots, however after rebooting it the issue appeared again.

 

[l.g]

i was able to start a vs Bot Game after i switched to Proton Experimental - set the rendering in the Graphic Settings to -dx11. still have the Launch Option active: "gamemoderun %command%"

Update: i'm also able to start a normal game

 

[CarpenterBruh]

Same here, after changing rendering to -dx11 now I'm able to launch games

I confirm that switching to DX11 fixes the issue.
I am playing on a Steam Deck with Proton-GE-15.

Same issue here on Linux. The game did load one time, but of course someone else couldn't join the match. Any logs I can provide?

*update* - I was able to get into a match so the issue is inconsistent

Same here, after changing rendering to -dx11 now I'm able to launch games

I heard some people had problems in windows, so I asume that rather than having a problem with linux, it's vulkan
