Black Mesa (362890) #4545
Comments
I can confirm the same issue also on Arch Linux. |
Hi @kisak-valve, i am having issues with Proton and this game. The Linux port is awful, so i tried tunning it via proton, only to find that the game boots, but there are no menus. It's only the background. |
No text/Menu on the start screen Issue transferred from #5060. Compatibility Report

I confirm:
SymptomsOn the Windows version of the game (the Linux native is very bad), there is no text in the start screen with the menu, so we can't select start a new game/load/options... There is only the background image. ReproductionOpen the game. |
Menu fonts don't show up on any proton version, including GE, but they do on older version of the game - crossfire-update(cu2). You can select that one in Black Mesa - Properties - Betas. |

I can confirm the same issue as OP on Linux Mint 20.2 (Ubuntu 20.04), including on Proton Experimental (tested today) and 7.0-2. However, it's not quite as severe for me. With regards to no menu appearing (@pcfirebeats issue #5060), launch the game with launch options |
Confirmed: same experience as @lunalucadou and previous posters. Note that in addition, the game does not work in surround sound. When setting sound to 7.1, only front l/r speakers output sound. If sound pans to any other channel, it simply becomes inaudible. Any workaround or tweak that will get surround sound working? Did anybody have any luck with this? |
Tagging @ColdPie1, who was able to solve surround sound issues back in 2020 and mentioned over in the "Surround sound support?" thread he might be able to help. Are you still around? I tried putting DSOAL (dsoal-aldrv.dll and dsound.dll, both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) in the same folder as bms.exe to no avail. Proton-GE 7.29. Also tried running from Lutris with the "Disable Lutris runtime" and "Prefer system libraries" options. |
Log from running Black Mesa with |
Same thing in Empires Mod If anyone found some workaround yet, let me know EDIT: since some time this is no longer an issue in empires mod, I guess the proton replaced the fonts, but they are not the same as in windows (its lacking symbol characters) |
If I remember you could work around this by installing the fonts manually into the prefix. This was some years ago I tried it but I think it worked for source based games. |
I have the same problem with the source engine games running on Proton, installing the following fonts with protontricks seemed to solve these ugly font issues (at least for me): corefonts (fixes the HUD from using serif), tahoma (fixes captions) and lucida (fixes the console) |
