@whizse The launch command you suggested yields only 10 lines long logs. Do I maybe need to use the user_settings.py file that is mentioned in the Proton README you linked earlier?

I meant that you are using Pop OS 21.04, which is a short lived (9 months) and kind of experimental OS version. LTS versions, based on 20.04 are supported for 5 years and are quite sturdy.

I enabled everything that's related to logging in the user_settings.py file but the log remains short:

This one got me stumped, not sure what's going on.

Best advice I can give is to ask for help in the GitHub bug report mentioned previously. The problem with the logs is a separate issue, but my gut feeling for the problem with the game is that your GPUs are most likely simply too old.

The weird log issue aside, I'm also afraid that my hardware is just too old for the game in question. Guess I'll just go back to Factorio. Thanks for trying to help though!
