  • Have you tried reinstalling proton, or installing an older version of proton?

    One of a few things is happening

    when a game is calling upon proton, and this error is triggered, and your game crashes, it was either because

    1. Proton (or some affiliated process) reached out to memory at an address it doesn’t have permission to play with.

    2. Proton (or some affiliated process) reached out to memory at an address that makes no sense.

    3. Some kind of overflow error occured

    It was either a misconfig on your par, a new version compatibility issue, or a bug causing something in this stack to reach out to a nonsense memory location or causing a stack or buffer overflow, something like that.

    Things I’d try:

    Check Protons compatibility with your current kernel version.

    Check Proton/steamlogs for more info on what might be going on.

    If this problem is new and you recently upgraded… Consider rolling back.










  • Three things.

    1. Yes. Sometimes this is malice. Sometimes this is an attempt to drive impressions and page views.

    2. This can also be caused by poorly configured web applications that update in real time. If, say, some sports website is giving you real-time data about the game as it progresses, a poorly configured web application might be creating a dynamic URL for every change. When you access the older page, it will be instructed to take you to the most recent data, so pressing back is taking you to old data on that page, and then immediately realizing that data is old so refreshing it with the most relevant data.

    3. This is a super common misconfiguration in single page web applications. Domain.com will take you to an application that renders at domain.com/en-us/home. Pressing back takes you to domain.com, and guess what happens next?

    This is basically 99.99% of these cases. I would say if its on some shitty news site with 1000 ads that somehow sneak by AdBlock and UBlok Origin, it’s case 1. Otherwise, it’s case 2 or 3.

    The picture instance is either case 1 or 2.
