SE2 on SteamOS

I took the plunge and abolished Microsoft.

I started off with a new game of SE2. The quick startup. All went peachy, except for the annoying message that my Windows paging file was too small. I could ignore that without consequences.

Up until now. I've just finished the last contract in the Verdure sector and I'm assembling a big ship to take the hard "earned" spoils to the Kemik sector that opened up.

I got to experience random crashes. Things I ruled out as a root cause:

• the auto save. (went from on to off, still crashes)
• game resolution (went from ultra wide to 1440p, still crashes)
• game quality (went from high to medium preset, still crashes)
• clearing out the save folder to free up room (still crashes)

Each time, I verify my game files, but the check reveals there's nothing wrong with those. I've tried several versions of Proton (10, 11, experimental, hotfix, even GE), the game keeps crashing.

The crashes are bad, each time Steam is crashing too, so it's like booting up anew each time.

I'm happy to share more info if that could lead to finding out what is wrong. I simply love building with these blocks.

Kind regards,

Dick
