I bought Assetto Corsa (looked fun, has VR support), which shows a Gold rating on Proton DB. Plenty of people report success, including those with my same OS (EndeavourOS) and some hardware similarities.

When I clicked play, the game wouldn't launch. I don't recall if it got stuck showing "running" or if it would go to running and then stop after a time. But, I tried Proton 10, Experimental, GE 9.20, and the latest GE 10.x.

I spent the whole night messing about, trying to get it to run without any luck. I've never encountered this annoying of an issue.

On a whim, as the last thing I did before bed, I booted up my laptop (same OS, more recent/less-bloated install), downloaded Steam, and then the game, and it simply launched with no fuss.

The current state on my PC is that I click play and it shows as running, and stays that way until I force kill the game. Below is a snippet from ps aux, which shows that the game is running, by some definition, but nothing is happening.

I have no clear steps forward. I don't have issues with other games to my knowledge. My setup shouldn't be too cursed. Not to mention, Steam is like, containerized I think? Or at least, it ships all its own dependencies like a flatpak/snap. Proton as well, I'm using the same version(s) between devices, so it shouldn't be a Proton issue. The only manifest difference should be my installed packages/system config, but I have no idea what to do, to go about figuring out the issue.

Hello r/linux_gaming community. I humbly ask for your help in troubleshooting my texture problem with Total War Warhammer III.

This problem has affected me on both Fedora Workstation 44 and CachyOS. The problem is isolated to the Linux-native version of the game. The Windows/Proton version of the game works decently but I would prefer the Linux-native version if possible.

The problem is related to textures on the campaign map. All textures that do not have any animation/particle effects in front of them are blacked out. Please see posted image for reference. This results in the majority of the screen being blacked out. This problem is present on all graphics quality settings spanning from Low to Ultra. Disabling shadows and other effects does not rectify the problem.

My hardware: Intel i7-14700F, Nvidia RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD.

So far I have tried:

• Verifying my video card drivers are correctly installed.
• Verifying that Total War Warhammer III is using the correct GPU.
• Verifying the integrity of my game files using Steam's function to do so.
• Fully uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
• Fully uninstalling and reinstalling Steam.
• Entirely new OS with new Steam and new game download.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

As you can see the default cachyos proton version is installed (indicated by checkmark)

I just switched over to CachyOS after using Arch and its great but the interaction between ProtonPlus and Steam has been all kinds of jank. ProtonPlus doesn't detect that I have the CachyOS version of proton already installed on the system and when I click on the "Installed" tab it comes up empty. I'm just thinking about deleting proton-cachyos-slr from the cachyos repository and just using the latest build from inside of ProtonPlus because it is not working at all. Cyberpunk 2077 wont even launch using pretty basic Steam launch options: PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=0x28de/0x11ff gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip --skipstartScreen

Everything else about CachyOS has been great but this is an issue that a gaming focused distro should definitely look into. Maybe it's not even cachyos's fault it could just be that ProtonPlus isn't checking the system for already installed versions of proton and then Steam refuses to launch since the compatibility tool "isn't there". It just feels wrong to have to delete Cachy's official proton package from their official repo and have to use a third party app to make it work in Steam.

A little bit of context:

I tried installing the sims normally through steam, but I couldn't get it to install without Electronic arts giving me an error. Then I tried lutris and this and that. I finally got it to work through the fitgirl repacks exe, but now I can't change the language. I created a new drive? L:\ for it and other games. I edited some files, but I don't know if I got the place right. This is the path to the game repository on steam /home/rain89/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/The Sims 4. I tried 2 things:

1. I tried to use the change language exe like it was explained in the instructions(I put it in steam and used proton experimental, same for sims, but it just selected englishnormally and didnothing), but nothing happened, no matter which language I selected. It's still russian.

2. Stupidly, I tried to name the ACTUAL russian language pack the english ones name and vice versa. I'm pretty sure I editied the wrong files. I went here /home/rain89/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/The Sims 4/Language Changer (I undid it just now).

Is my only option to reinstall it? I'm pretty sure I choose english on setup.

My OS is linux mint newest (zena), latest wine that's giving me complications, proton exerimental. My gpu is nvidia rtx 4060(or 50), my cpu is amd ryzen 7something.But I doubt they're that important for this.

Hi!

I just built a new PC. I'm running Mint 23.3 with Kernel 6.17 and Mesa 25. Also, my components are a Ryzen 7 9800 X3D and a Powercolor Hellhound RX 9070 XT.

I was having trouble redeeming an AMD Rewards promotion code, because the pvt.sh didn't recognized my GPU, even when the system did.

So, after a couple of hours of research, turns out all I had to do was update the PCI data:

sudo update-pciids

and then:

lspci | grep VGA

Guess the RX 9070 XT is still "new" enough to show as default (1002:7550). Thanks to this, the GPU was verified and I was able to redeem Crimson Desert.

Hope this helps someone with the same trouble.

Not sure if there was a steam update for the Steam Controller 2 or if it's something on my end, but I'm able to open the overlay / use steam input with HDR + wayland enabled (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1). Shift + Tab does nothing, but the guide button on my PS5 controller opens the overlay and any changes I make are reflected in game. Can anyone else confirm this is working for them?

I'm on NixOS and Hyprland.

I recently found a game called different strokes on steam it's a game where you draw images or edit other peoples images thus it needs to load these images. I played it for about 2 hours over 2 days and really liked and was even planning on buying the dlc for it.

Then I go to open it another day and the paintings don't load and I can't log into the game server trough the game.

The games discord has a common issues channel where there was an issue listed similiar to mine about how some ISPs block the website behind the game differentstrokes.xyz . Now I checked in every way I could if I was able to reach the site by opening it in a browser, pinging it, tarcing the ip route and even pinging it from my router. All of these worked just fine.
I tried asking for help through the means provided by them but even the dev is confused as to what is going on.
I tried differnet proton versions. I tried 2 other devices(my steamdeck and a family memberes laptop who also uses linux) which also had the same problem.
I even tried to look at network requests on my computer using wireshark but I'm either not smart enough to understand that or there really was nothing out of the ordinary. I also tried running steam from the terminal but I didn't get any errors in there nor anything else that looked related.
I use arch linux with the zen kernel and the latest proton ge version I am also using the steam version of the game(it's also on itch.io).

I genuienly have no idea what the problem could be anymore as it was working just fine at first the game didn't get updated betwen my playsessions and it can't even be a problem with some update to some part of arch as I got the same problem on my deck. I can only think it has to do with my network but I can reach the website just fine so I have no clue what to try anymore.

Any ideas as to what the hell is going on here are aprriciated.

Been trying to find a solution to get the standalone .exe Shazbot Mod Manager to run on Linux (for Total War Warhammer III using Proton).

https://github.com/Shazbot/WH3-Mod-Manager

I have tried ProtonTricks, which was suggested in another older reddit post but without luck, after selecting what game to run the mod manager with in protontricks nothing happens
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1mmkh59/what_are_the_methods_to_make_nonlinux_mod_manager/

I moved on to trying Steam Tinker Launch using info from this very helpful video, however the example given was to install an exe rather than run a standalone, and having tweaked it I still cant get the exe to run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnAG1LLBH1Q

I have also tried adding it as a not steam game with proton experimental to try and get it just to run (even if it can't launch TWW3 after) but this also does nothing.

Last step that I have not yet tried was going to be bottles, but before I try I wanted to ask if anyone had managed to get this working.

I am running Mint.

I am aware of the CA's own mod manager which has improved, but can't save profiles and a few other features that I liked on Shazbot's MM

Not sure if this is an impossible task, or I am missing something really simple.

Any advice or tips would be welcome.

The issue is that after updating Conan Exiles to the Enhanced version, it crashes every time I open it, no matter what Proton version is using.

Fortunately, there's a workaround for that. Simply install vcrun2022 using Protontricks:

protontricks 440900 vcrun2022

And just hit next when it displays, like any Windows installation.

It works for me now.
