What gpu do you have? Have you checked protondb? What version of proton do you have selected for steam play? What version of steam are you using? Flatpak, deb/rpm or snap?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm using Proton Experimental. While I have checked ProtonDB, I wasn't able to find a solution. I did find that quite a large number of people suggested I put the following in the launch options: for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); do export $var=$(echo ${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command% -window -noborder

But it didn't change anything.

can you answer the question abou the steam version?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, forgot about that. I'm using the latest steam beta, at the time of writing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i didnt mean that, are you using the deb, snap or flatpak?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, Flatpak

I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.

Have you tried installing the deb/rpm and seekng if the game works then?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I haven't tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I'll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I've tried before.

I'll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed. In particular, I'll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix

i'll get back to you with the information when I've finished installing them

Wait what distro are you on?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is this on one of Fedora's images or on one of uBlue's images? Regardless, could you specify what exactly we're dealing with?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the clarification! We actually run very similar systems; I'm on the hardened Bluefin-dx image as per secureblue.

Regarding Steam, Bazzite -one of Bluefin's uBlue siblings- actually switched over to RPM Fusion's Steam due to issues with the Flatpak.

I don't know what exactly is the way to go for you. But I can suggest the following possibilities (from own experience):

Install RPM Fusion's Steam through layering with rpm-ostree.
Use Steam bundled with Bazzite- Arch; this is what Bazzite used to use in the past.
Or (very unconventional) use the Steam bundled with Conty.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bazzite lead developer here, we actually never used the flatpak. Our first release had it installed in a distrobox container on the desktop images. Deck images always had RPM Steam because Steam is essentially functioning as a desktop environment there. We moved them both to be RPM for support consistency reasons.

Thank you so much for correcting me! I'll edit my earlier post to reflect this! Your work on Bazzite is much appreciated! Thank you!
