Hi all, I installed GTA 4 Complete Edition from Steam. The first time I tried playing after installation it worked flawlessly but has been giving me this error ever since. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I have tried using a different Proton version only to get the same error again. I am on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon with 13th Gen i7-3700K, RTX3080 Ti and 32 GB RAM. I haven't been able to find any help on Proton DB, hoping somebody here might have some idea. And I apologize if this is no the right place for this post, please let me know where I should post it. Thanks!

Linux mint tends to use packages that are older but more stable than some distros. Have you tried using steam's flatpak which might be more up to date?

Sorry I didn't mention, but I am using Steam flatpack.

Ah, okay. Perhaps you could dig into its files, if you haven't already and see if there is anything left over from the previous installs?

Thanks for checking back, but the other comments mentioned tweaking ProtonTricks and that got rid of the error.

Excellent! I'm so glad it has been fixed for you 🙂

You should record the fix here in case someone else has this problem.
