Proton: Bloons TD 5 (306020)

[nentibusarchitectura]

Bloons TD 5, a cute and very entertaining tower defense game works perfectly except for the sound, there are no music or effects at all.

Here's the gist to my system's setup: https://gist.github.com/nentibusarchitectura/652dbdaecc32f3ca5f625a0e921c96c9#file-gistfile1-txt

[DarkoGNU]

I can say that it's a pretty old Wine bug - I played BTD5 using PlayOnLinux a few months ago and I also had no sound
And it's spelled Bloons, not Blooms :P

[liberodark]

same for me on manjaro

Please retest with 3.16-7, this should be fixed now with Valvesoftware/wine@7af2914.

Hello, is anyone seeing any issues with this game and Proton 3.16-8 that would block it from being whitelisted?

[nentibusarchitectura]

Hi Kisak, It works 100% now, can't find any fault whatsoever.
This game can be whitelisted IMHO.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

I actually still have an issue with this game. For every version of Proton I've tried this with, it takes about 5-10 minutes of play time for it to simply crash for no reason.

Proton Versions Tested

• 3.7-8
• 3.16-4
• 3.16-8
• 4.2-2
• 4.2-3

It's the only issue I experience, but it does make it impossible to play the game.

Hello @MurdoMaclachlan, with Proton 3.16-8+, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the crash, and drag and drop the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log into the comment box. If it's a large log, you may need to throw it into an archive.

It may be worthwhile to retest with nvidia's 418 series of driver.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

Here you go, @kisak-valve.
steam-306020.log

I'll look into the 418 driver. Thanks for the suggestion.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

@kisak-valve
I updated my driver to 418.56, I'm still experiencing the crash. Here's the newest version of the log in case anything changed there.
steam-306020.log

[nsivov]

You got this in your log:

eventfd: Too many open files
x11drv: Can't allocate handle for display fd
44496.170:0027:002c:trace:module:LdrShutdownProcess ()

You could try to disable ESYNC to see if it gets any better.

[kisak-valve]

Also, please run ulimit -Hn and verify it gives you a high value and not 4096.

[MurdoMaclachlan]

I did the ulimit-Hn command, and it returned 4096. I went in and changed it to 65536, and now I haven't had another crash in BTD5 after the best part of an hour of playing. Seems to be all fixed.

[ghost]

https://www.protondb.com/app/306020 Seems to be trending towards platinum except for a tweak for some people

Out of the box game crashed after exactly 6 minutes, in order to fix that i needed to add "* hard nofile 1048576" into /etc/security/limits.conf and relog into my session, after that game ran perfectly.

Can someone confirm that this is no longer needed for the latest release?

[kisak-valve]

Hello @rogersachan, a high file descriptor limit is a requirement for esync which is included in Proton and not a game-specific issue. If you have a FUTEX_WAIT_MULTIPLE-enabled kernel, then Proton should perfer to use fsync instead of esync, and use much less file descriptors.
