Native Games Immediately Crash but Run Completely Fine from Terminal

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Dec 2025 - 2:46am

I'm just putting this solution out there in case anyone encounters this issue.

TL;DR: Corrupted Steam runtime. Delete everything in ~/.local/share/Steam/ except steamapps, restart Steam to rebuild.

I had an issue where randomly out of nowhere I couldn't run native games like Song of Syx, Project Zomboid, or even Melvor Idle. I would start them, and it would instantly crash. The game wouldn't even log anything because Steam itself wasn't launching them.

I tried disabling the Steam overlay and Steam game recorder and neither worked. I knew the games themselves weren't the issue though because I literally went into the installation folder and ran the executable from the terminal.

I checked what steam was logging by running it from the console

steam 2>&1

For each of these games it said something along the lines of

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/gamer/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

I fixed it by going to the Steam installation folder and deleting everything EXCEPT for "steamapps"

When I started it again from the terminal, Steam reinstalled everything by itself and I could run games natively again.

Cracked games and piracy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Dec 2025 - 1:48am

I play cracked games on windows and download pirated movies ( broke college student😔). I am planning to switch to Linux because windows sucks but I also still want to play games on Linux. So is installing and playing crack games on Linux easy? I download some games that are like pre installed from steam rip and some from other websites where I have to run the installer.exe. is there any guide or videos that I can watch that can help me with that? And I am currently using a Nvidia 4080 GPU and Amd cpu.

Game unable to log in, then launching into a white screen. Steam+3rd party launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Dec 2025 - 1:27am

Hi everyone. Im relatively new to Linux and running into an issue that Im not sure how to start solving. I was not able to find an older post or forum of someone experiencing a similar issue, hoping someone here can help or at least point me towards where I should look.

I am trying to play the Elder Scrolls Online through steam. The game installs fine, when clicking play on steam it opens the 3rd party launcher for it. Pressing play on that 3rd party launcher for the first time after installing launches the game, I get the title screen and all the terms of service stuff. When on the login screen, it tries to log me in, fails and gives an internal server error. It should give me a screen where I can state that I have an existing account, or want to play through steam with a new account, but it doesn't, just says it cant log me in. I am unsure if this is a Linux related issue, or a steam account related issue.

After that, any attempt to run the game from that 3rd party launcher launches the game in a tiny window that it fully white when opened. I hear the sound of the title screen, but have no visuals.

Things Ive tried:
-uninstalling and reinstalling the game, results in the same series of events
-using different versions of proton (experimental, 9, 8, 7, 6.3) through compatibility settings in steam, does not solve the issue. Lower versions seem to be worse, the game does not launch at all.
-forcing the game to create a new programdata folder by renaming the existing one, as suggested as a solution for a lot of launcher issues on ESO's forum, did not solve the issue.

All my system info and drivers are in the image below. The white screen looks like a GPU/driver issue, but I have no issues with the GPU otherwise and the pc was only installed last week, all drivers should be up to date. Because the white screen only happens after the first time the game launches, I suspect it has smt to do with files or settings created on that first launch, but I do not know where to start.

Details that Im not sure if they matter; I am borrowing this game from another user on steam through family share, with other games this has not caused any issues. This is also my first time playing this game through steam in general, on windows I played directly through the games own launcher. Still, it should be possible to link my account on the first launch through steam.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Dec 2025 - 1:07am

Light privacy security focus, Linux desktop and user experience and gaming preferred, all other FOSS and Linux news welcome. I used to listen to a few podcasts back in the late 10s through about ‘21, but I’d like to see what people are listening to now.

9060xt didn't fit, guess I'm making a new build. Need advice on Motherboards.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 11:26pm

So for the past 4 years, I've been running an Intel NUC 11th gen extreme kit, which has room for an entire dGPU, albeit with restrictions on width, limited to 2 slots. It was running a 3060 ti. I'm big on SFF, and outside of the GPU, it was all Intel, so when I switched to Linux over a year ago, shit worked flawlessly when I wasn't dealing with the GPU, which, while functional, often had little issues, like the HDMI audio refusing to function well, or webGL running like ass on Firefox without patchwork fixes, or many games on steam having graphical glitches or otherwise when they worked flawlessly on Steam Decks AMD iGPU.

So, I purchased a Gigabyte 9060xt, which by all means should have fit in the case. It didn't. It's small enough, but won't actually sit right, and the 8 pin power connector is recessed, so I can't actually connect the 90 angled cable.

So I guess I'm making a new build. I was probably gonna go with a 7600x3D, the issue right now is the mother board.

I have an mATX case coming, but I was gonna stick an ITX in it for future compatibility with SFF cases. The issue is the motherboard. None of them really give out what kind of cards they actually have on them. There's so much Mediatek shit and even on windows I never trusted that. I know how to troubleshoot and tinker, but I would rather stick to open source drivers already available in the kernel. And then there's all the proprietary RGB shit. And... It wouldn't hurt to look nice.

It feels like at minimum I'm gonna be forced to switch out the Wifi card on anything I get.

What's the best Linux ITX motherboards?

2023 - 2025 Getting a Steam Deck changed everything.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Dec 2025 - 10:53pm

I was a dual booter for a good 20 years. Only kept windows around for gaming. Getting the Steam Deck really made me consider making the switch 100% I'm happy to say I've been windows free personally AND professionally for over a year now.
