ProtonDB | Game Details for A Short Hike

Game requires a keyboard or a controller. Both work just fine, and the game ran exactly as intended.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-26

Significant Bugs:Yes

Game crashes when using left or right mouse button.

A side the bug I had where clicking on left or right button of the mouse crashed the game, I used keyboard and a controller just fine. Finished the game with no bugs, or errors.

Use Proton, Native build seems buggy.

Input:Other

Game crashed some steam helpers which first lead to undetected controller then no overlay.

Significant Bugs:

The game crashed the steam overlay and made steam hang after closing.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton 9.0-4

With the default runtime (1.0, Scout), the game regularly crashed every 10 minutes, usually starting with a screen flicker. Forcing it to use Proton 9.0-4 solved the problem completely.

Native support and works right out of the box.

A Short Hike works right out of the box because it has native support. In a worse scenario, you can run the Windows version with Proton or Wine, but I haven't dealt with that issue.
