Space Engineers issues

I have played that game a lot in my old days on Windows, but under Linux I have a lot of crashes. I have installed the game via Steam and it starts in to mainmenu. But mostly when I try to start a game, it crashes. After reading some tips, I have changed proton to GE-Proton 8.3. with that crashes occur a little bit rarer, but to often. I have also tried GE-Proton 8.4 or Proton Experimental, but without luck.

Is someone here with some tips?

BTW: im on Manjaro

Are you starting a game with lots of mods enabled?

Can you try creating a new save with no mods enabled and see if you still get crashes? I think some of the mods in the Steam workshop just doesn’t work well in Linux.

No blank Vanilla, but all DLC’s

Very interesting. I’ve had similar issues that you had but it was when joining a friend’s multiplayer server with lots of mods. Single player works fine for me.

Sorry, I can’t think of any other possible solutions for you to try.

As shown in protodb, it doesn't seem to be too much compatible yet. You can try to see if there is something available on Lutris or you can open an issue on GitHub (if it doesn't exist)

Have you seen this?

laskobar OP ,

Yes, but there is no clear instructions. Only some vague recommendations. None of them is working at least for me

You mean WINEPREFIX=“{install location}/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx/” sh winetricks --force -q dotnet48 doesn’t help?

laskobar OP ,

Not really. In my case i start it from within Steam Library and not from commandline, but i have tried the --force -q dotnet48 shortcut also, with no positive result. Yesterday, I could play the game for more than 3 hours, but today, starting it the same way, it crashes after loading 1% of the save game.

I’m starting it now in a parallel installed Windows, where the save game location is shared between both OS (-appdata “/path/to/folder” -skipintro). Maybe i find a better way and must not boot to Windows. Since i start this really seldom, it has to download a lot of Updates before i can continue.

Then I have no other idea than to take a look into what it logs:

  1. Execute steam with PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead steam
  2. launch the game
  3. in the term that will open type “$@” (with the ") and inspect the output .You can redirect it, but steam executes games in a container so not all other directories will be available to write to
