Overwatch 2 with Season 20 has some very annoying crash-bugs on Linux / SteamOS

Overwatch 2 has launched the large Season 20 replace however sadly for Linux / SteamOS followers, it comes with some actually annoying crash bugs.

Such is the best way with live-service kind video games, the place Linux clearly is not a examined platform earlier than updates are rolled out. One thing which will trigger points over time with Valve’s new upcoming Steam Machine. Nevertheless, so long as you do not do just a few issues try to be okay. The difficulty is that sure menu interactions will simply utterly crash the sport. We’ll have to attend for Valve builders to get a repair into Proton for the sport to work correctly once more.

From the bug report on Valve’s Proton GitHub the sport will crash and stop when you do any of those:

• Open the chat and shut it or press enter with it open (confirmed myself).
• Clicking on a status tier within the new battle cross (confirmed myself).
• Probably urgent ESC throughout a match (did not occur for me).
• Clicking round within the Missions part of the menu.

So, keep off the chat completely throughout matches and you must nonetheless have the ability to play. As annoying as which may be. I’ve performed fairly just a few rounds and it’ll reliably crash when you attempt to work together with the chat field. There’s additionally posts on the Steam discussion board about it crashing on Linux PCs and Steam Deck too.

Hopefully we’ll see a repair quickly!
