Proton games keep crashing

Hello !

I’m having an annoying problem with proton games in Steam. Almost all proton games (especially the newest and most demanding, like Layers of Fear, Ghostwire, Jagged Alliance 3, older and less demanding often work fine) crashes after few minutes of play. This issue is “fresh” - maybe the problem have started in July - before that every game worked fine (maybe some update messed something up?).

I tried many versions of Proton (including GE versions), kernels (6.1, 6.3, 6.4 and even 6.5 RC) and advices from Arch and Manjaro forums. Nothing helped.

Some logs:

pid 2737 != 2736, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

I have the newest stable mesa version (23.0.4-3), with all dependencies (vulkan-radeon too).
I use ryzen 7 7700, RX 6700xt (open drivers), I use KDE plasma and Wayland and I have no idea how to solve this problem.
Anyone can help me?

Hello @Allende77 :wink:

That would be important to know in detail, since writing what you already tried would be a waste of time.

Your problem, regarding the logs, is vkd3d, so the directx12 translation.

Did you visit these webpages?

Thank you for your time.
For instance, studied this threads: Mysterious crash from Proton games - #2 by varikonniemi , [Solved] Proton instantly crashing with no proton logs / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums

And yes, I know this pages as well as I have vkd3d and vkd3d-proton
