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!
Appears it should work pretty well according to ProtonDB

You might need to install ProtonUp-QT and grab GE-Proton and set the game compatibility mode to “
Proton ExperimentalGE-Proton”There are also suggestions of downgrading the game version to remove the launcher (Im assuming the launcher does the windows version check)
And this user’s problem/solution sounds identical to yours
If you’re installing proton ge, you should set compatibility mode to proton ge. Proton experimental is Valve’s experimental version of proton, not GE.
Not doubting you - I thought experimental referred an additional compat layer you select via Proton UP?
I believe the experimental option is always there in steam, even if you’ve never used proton up. It just contains experimental features that valve hasn’t put into a regular release yet.
Oh wow, I don’t know hos I missed this post on Proton DB, but thanks for posting it here. It got rid of the error but now I tries to launch the Rockstar Launcher but doesn’t launch either.
