[5.0 Beta 3 Linux] CTD when loading 4.2 save

[af_2017]

Spent some more time here trying the scenario with windows version of x4 installed on linux, steam, proton experimental.
Tried flight school only. Crash is still there.
Since normal playing is blocked (entering new sector is a potential crash), I will be back when this fixed.
Thank you!

5.00 beta2 is released. It shows that more causes for crashes were resolved.
I will check tonight if the CTD issue is resolved when loading a save or starting certain games such as the flight school start.

Unfortunately the games still crashes to desktop when loading the flight school start.
After the game loaded, you hear the sound playing that new messages are available. I see the initial screen (starting room) for .5 second and then the game crashes.

I will try testing again when the next version of the beta is released.

Can a mod change the title to [5.0 Beta 2 Linux]?

As helpfully pointed out by af_2017 I think I'm experiencing this same CTD/hang on Windows + Nvidia, so hopefully it's not just Linux-specific and will get fixed for everyone!

A new beta version and a new test. Unfortunately the games still crashes to desktop when loading the flight school start.
After the game loaded, you hear the sound playing that new messages are available. I see the initial screen (starting room with instructor) for .5 second and then the game crashes.

I will try testing again when the next version of the beta is released.

The debug log still contains no relevant information. Only:

The solution is mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=192&t=444965#p5104311

Updating my Nvidia drivers from 470 to 510 resolved the issue, No more CTD's. When looking at the Nvidia release notes I see that support was added for new API calls in Vulkan. Maybe egosoft started using these in the 5.0 beta? In the beta some new graphic effects have been added.

Anyway, updating to the latest 510 nvidia drivers resolved the issue.
In Ubuntu 20.04 if the 510 driver is not listed, then you could add this PPA https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers ... ubuntu/ppa. After adding this PPA you should have access to nvidia 510 drivers in Ubuntu,

Updating my Nvidia drivers from 470 to 510 resolved the issue, No more CTD's.

Can't reproduce with 510 on debian 11 either.
Thanks for the update! : )
