MTA on Proton works not anymore.

Hi

I use Arch Linux KDE btw, I use to play MTA (Multi Theft Auto.exe) on Steam Proton Experimental.

But today after uninstall & install the today mtasa-1.6.exe (via Proton), if I play MTA: after about 4 seconds it freezes (I can't move the pointer), it crashes then there is a window:

MTA: San Andreas

MTA: San Andreas has been terminated due to an integrity violation.

Make sure that no external program is modifying the game. Note that some unreliable AV's (such as Bitdefender) are known to interfere in a way that can lead to this problem.

OK

Hi,

This usually happens because of Proton. MTA thinks something is modifying the game and closes itself.

Try this:

• Don’t use Proton Experimental, switch to Proton 7 or 8
• Disable Steam overlay (and any other overlays like Discord, MangoHUD etc.)
• Close any background tools just in case

If it still crashes, you can try running it with Wine instead of Proton.

MTA anti-cheat is a bit sensitive, so Proton can sometimes cause this issue.

Proton 7 & 8: same.

No Steam overlay.

Only Steam.

Wine: MTA crashes then this web page https://help.multitheftauto.com/sa/trouble/serial-validation/ appears on Falkon (a web browser), so I did Linux, 1: same.

Do you want the .log by PROTON_LOG=1 ?

Maybe should I create a new topic, why not MTA client Linux? Window$ is a crappy dying "OS".
