Halo Infinite (1240440)

[CDAGaming]

Compatibility Report

• Name of the game with compatibility issues: Halo Infinite
• Steam AppID of the game: 1240440 (Believed to be this ID)

Note:

Creating a preliminary post regarding this due to the initial Technical Preview Flight being released today. It is unknown by what source the assets will be available to download on, but the feedback from other users on Proton regarding Linux issues would be applicable to view here in preparation for the Steam Release this holiday season.

Hello @CDAGaming, preemptively opening a compatibility report with no info is pointless. Let's wait until someone who has access to the game gives feedback.

Ok I have access and tried it earlier and It just immediately closes (nothing appears) status on Steam goes back to "Online" please give me information on how I can gather information to help diagnose.

[CDAGaming]

@kisak-valve Please reopen this, as this is now available to users.

Hello @CDAGaming, looking around, no, the main game does not appear to have been released.

Instead, access to a separate insider build (1240410) was handed out and #5032 was opened to with info on how the insider build runs with Proton.

@kisak-valve the beta of Halo Infinite has dropped today under AppId 1240440, so can be reopened now yeah? I have also attached a pair of log files, one each for Proton 6.3-7 and Experimental. In both cases, launching the game causes the button to switch from "Play" to "Stop" for a few seconds before the game exits. I was also using the Steam Client Beta for both attempts.

Like @shagia, insta-death. Here's my console log using konsole --hold -e %command%:

https://gist.github.com/cybik/43b99328f170ca60b3a66f0ef536f8f2 (also contains steam-1240440.log)

Note that my log comes from a GE, not mainline. I'm assuming experimental and mainline are not showing much difference.

[shagia]

I should have clarified the Proton branch I'm using: I'm using the latest experimental (bleeding edge) branch myself in response to the post @cybik is referring to. I'll try mainline later today.

Still no boot on Proton Experimental or Proton-6.21-GE-1.

Noticed this in the log (used Proton GE): steam-1240440.log

53880.430:010c:0110:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "Arbiter.dll" failed to initialize, aborting

53880.430:010c:0110:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Initializing dlls for L"Z:\\home\\server\\.local\\share\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Halo Infinite\\HaloInfinite.exe" failed, status c0000142 pid 59450 != 59449, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

Is "Arbiter.dll" anti-cheat?

Replying to #5030 (comment)

I suppose so. Tried to attach a debugger to it but it just traps it with an INT3 instruction and immediately quits the game afterwards.

I'm actually getting a different output when running with experimental (mainline). With GE it mentions Arbiter.dll but not with experimental. I'm not sure if it gets stuck earlier or farther ahead than GE.

Edit: Here's my log
