If you missed it. Payday 2 is getting bug fixes once again, This time by the same side team that has been supporting Raid WWII.

I was playing literally yesterday just fine even with mods installed. But today an update seems to have broken the game running through Proton (Crashes before fully launching) with or without mods, while my friends on Windows are having no issues.

Anyone else? I have tried other games today, This is the only one I'm having issues with.

Update: Got it working by adding PROTON_USE_WOW64=1 to the steam launch command. Didn't have to do this yesterday or ever before, But it's working now so.

Another update: The previous solution ended up just being a work around for another issue on my system. Even tho it worked I couldn't use it with the SuperBLT modloader as that would also crash. I ended up uninstalling an outdated AMD GPU driver (which might have been the main issue) but I also had a Endeavour/Arch update today which updated some 32bit libraries.

Since then I've been able to load the game with mods same as I did before.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wsock32=n,b" %command% -skip_intro -steamMM -NewCPU

Just tried on the same Proton version both with and without the wsock command and still nothing...

Thanks for posting your fix. Make sure to add it to ProtonDB so that others having the same issue can solve it quickly too.

I posted another update. while the previous fix kinda worked, It couldn't run the game with mods. (which most PD2 players these days do) and I didn't really test that before logging off for the night.

Ended up being more an issue on my systems end than the game itself. >.>
