Symptoms

the game does not launch. instead giving the error:

VrOverlay failed initialization with error code
VRInitError_Init_InterfaceNotFound: "Interface Not Found (105)"

Looks like err:steamclient:create_win_interface Don't recognize interface name: STEAMTV_INTERFACE_V001 is the line of interest from the log.

Not exactly the same error, but also having issues launching the game. Proton log says it's the same error.
Using Proton 5.0-5 and tried the public, beta & linux_temp SteamVR builds.

For me it worked once I chose Proton 5.0-5 but performance is abysmal — that can’t just be my Vega 56, I have sometimes frame times of 50 ms and above.

system info and proton log please?

Starts for me.
PC is struggling with rendering but my god this looks good compared to other VR FPS games I played.
Set these launch options: PROTON_LOG=1 RADV_PERFTEST=ACO
Performance seems to be better now.

I manually chose Proton 5.0-5 and the game ran fairly well, however it always crashes to a black screen(with the headset ostensibly turning off) when entering the train after getting the pistol, where it seems a level change should occur. In some cases the game will display an error complaining about the steamVR library being out of date(even though steamVR is a newer version than the minimum it requests), in others the game will just freeze and must be manually closed.

Hello @VurtualRuler98, err:vrclient:create_win_interface Don't recognize interface name: IVRInputInternal_002 looks like a line of interest from the log.

the game works fine here ( i7-8700K, RTX 2080, up2date arch linux, nvidia-dkms-440.64-5)
but it reprodacable crashes when entering the train wagon, probably while loading the next level chapter. In fact SteamVR crashes (including hmd turning off)!

Its general level loads as far as i can see. I could progress by saving before the level load, letting it crash (or not). After starting the game again it progresses just fine.
A bit annoying, but i save way to often anyway, so this will probably not remove to much progress for me.

Still, would be nice to have this fixed. Ill try to get a log next crash

Game launches on proton 5.0-5, but like others have said, performance is bad.

I also the game got stuck on the loading screen after the intro chapter, after the 2nd elevator.
