However, Sins and Proton have updated since then, so it's hard to tell if Sins introduced an issue or there was a regression with Proton. I have ran Sins with STA3 stably in the past. The crashing seems to occur more frequently and quickly with higher resource utilization, sometimes not even letting the game start after the loading screen. The base game seems to be stable (though I have not played it too long that way), but it isn't nearly as resource intensive as these mods are. The crashing was consistent with both, whether the game is paused or not. This was tested with both the STA3 and SotP mods. I have started a game, paused and minimized the game, and still had it crash a minute or two later. This is regardless of whether you're actually playing or not. There is no error reported or indication of what the issue is that causes the crash, even when running the Dev executable. The game seems to crash within a minute or two of starting or loading a game with a mod (such as STA3 or SotP) loaded. that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.Link to full system information report as Gist: System Info.Name of the game with compatibility issues: Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.I can also alt-tab out and back in, although I have to wait a few seconds with a black screen before the game appears again. Still unsure why the launcher complains about gamedata.dat. Update: It works perfectly if I replace StardockLauncher.exe with Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.exe (renaming the latter as the former). I should note that after the last update, steam actually installed the prerequisites before launching. Manually going there and running the proton command (with the right env) doesn't help. After today's last update, the game instantly starts complaining about not being able to find gamedata.dat, which is there.When I tried it on Proton launch day, and Sins would crash after clicking 'play' on the launcher.Mesa 18.1.5 as provided by the flatpak runtime I am running steam from.

It turned out to be a game problem, where long paths would prevent the launcher from working correctly.

I had an issue with the flatpaked version, but it has since been fixed by the Steam flatpak mainainer.
