[solved, sorta] proton takes above 40 seconds to launch

games running through proton hang for an abnormal time on preparing launch and execution.
logs provided show me launching kero blaster on steam with copied terminal output and steam.log output file.
i have a video showing steam (proton 8.03 for video and logs, happens on any version) vs lutris (wine-ge). kero blaster can run outside of steam and - if it matters - is the smallest size in my steam library (lutris is a copied exe from steamapps/common)
i don't know if its my steam deck thats the issue, I might just reinstall steamos and see if it still happens.

terminaloutput.txt54.33KB

steam.log1.9KB

proton.log1.82MB

Solution

- disabling dns over tls allows the wifi to be on and proton to launch at under 20 seconds again.

sorry thought i uploaded it. i was away lol

i'll clarify and say that the gnome session was running on wayland

RadOP•9/27/23, 3:29 AM

but i remember this happening on plasma with X11

RadOP•9/27/23, 3:30 AM

so thats why the libextest error is happening in the output i think

RadOP•9/27/23, 3:36 AM

the problem is not occuring on steam os 3.4 or 3.5. it only takes about 20 seconds when first installing proton to set it up for a game, but afterwords it launches and executes immeditely. I'm reinstalling bazzite after tests because steam os 3

RRad so thats why the libextest error is happening in the output i think

That just always happens, it's because it's 32bit and steam is as well

Kyle Gospo•9/27/23, 5:09 AM

So anything 64 bit steam loads will throw that

Kyle Gospo•9/27/23, 5:09 AM

Ignore it, it's noise

Kyle Gospo•9/27/23, 5:09 AM

Anyways I'm sorry to say I have no idea what's going on here

Kyle Gospo•9/27/23, 5:09 AM

I've got two decks and neither act this way

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:13 AM

it's okay. I reinstalled bazzite and it seems to occur again.

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:14 AM

it could be the rpmfusion repo, but idk.

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:15 AM

maybe a mirror closest to me has a weird steam?

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:15 AM

o wait the image is built on github

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:15 AM

nvm

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:17 AM

i think i'll just have to bare with proton being funky. i can provide the logs I got from 3 games on steamos if you want

RadOP•9/27/23, 5:19 AM

and compare the 2 other games to logs from bazzite deck

I also feel like startup times of games are a little higher than on steamos, but definitely not as high as that. At least not for the smaller games I've been playing
