Game do not start.
Application gain some RAM-usage and then disappear, also "lived" longer on the first start where it went up to almost ~2 GB.
After the first start the process is just alive for like 3-4 seconds using ~20-160 MB and then close itself.

1. Install like recommended

I experience the very same behavior with Proton on two different systems. These issues started to appear about a week ago for no reason.

No error logs are created. This is my steam console output:

• Among Us Version: 24.10.29s build 4815 (live)

There is your issue:

The mod is currently only compatible with Version 2024.6.18.

You can currently obtain that version by setting your Beta Branch in Among Us' Steam properties to
"public-beta".

Then "update" the game and repeat the installation steps.

And for Epic Games version? Is there any fix?

Yes, but its more complicated. You need to run a downgrade script. We provide that and further assistance on our discord server, (see the channel #HelpChat on our Discord Server, pinned posts).
