Cannot Launch Company of Heroes 2 without Proton

[crimson cave]

I tried to install CoH 2 on my Pop!_OS 22.04 computer. The game does not launch. How do I fix this?

You need to give more information than that

Error logs, package format, how are u running it etc

[crimson cave]

Where do I find error logs and package format?
I find that CoH 2 crashes when I don't use Proton.

[dim granite]

launch steam from the terminal

that seems to be the easiest way

Thanks

I find that running COH 2 with Proton helps launch CoH 2.

[dim granite]

its like that sometimes

metro last light is supposed to have a linux native version but it doesnt work on my system

it seems to be borked

but proton version works albeit has some framerate and stuttering issues

you can try different versions of proton to see which works best

Thanks. I don't understand why a Linux game will stop launching all of a sudden. That's what happened when I played CoH 2. It was working without proton. Then one day, it decides not to launch.

You're thanking too much ó_ò

[crimson cave]

Will do!

I am thinking about reinstalling my Linux system to get Linux native games working again as a last resort.

if its non flatpak steam after updating your system there could be conflict between shared libraries

[crimson cave]

Thanks for letting me know. Should I switch to Debian Steam on Pop!_OS 22.04?

[dim granite]

pardon?
did you use apt install to get steam or the software store

u could try one or the other and see which works

[crimson cave]

I got it from the Pop!_OS store

[crimson cave]

I will look into it.

[crimson cave]

I am using Flatpak Steam.

I don't know how to find the conflict between shared libraries.

[dim granite]

there shouldnt be conflict then unless they packaged it wrong

it could be another reason

u can run flatpaks in terminal by

flatpak run <name of flatpak>

it could be com.steam.Steam just check ~/.var/app dir

[crimson cave]

I will look into that

[crimson cave]

I am unsure if CoH 2 got borked. I managed to fix CoH 2 not running by using Proton

[dim granite]

some linux ports are broken

proton works much better

[crimson cave]

I got some Linux ports working on my PC. I find broken linux ports annoying

[dim granite]

metro last light did launch on linux but now the port is absolutely broken, could never get it to work

[crimson cave]

Why is the port broken?

[dim granite]

probably lack of proper support

they had released it for that failed valve console that was supposed to run linux

before the deck and the index

[crimson cave]

Thanks for the information. How do we close this post?

Sorry for the late response. That is what I did. Thank you.
