Anyone else having issues launching the game on GNU/Linux?

[open cypress]

3 months ago I could easily launch the game using Proton, now I have tried EVERYTHING but it did not work. The only way I could get something working is using Lutris, but when launching the game it complains about not being able to connect to steam.

Anyone has a fix or a way to perhaps link the lutris instance to steam or something?

I use endeavour os (arch based) with X11.

'tis the error, my launch options are PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% gamemoderun %command%

[acoustic bramble]

env variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER
If your using wayland please put this in the launch options!
env --unset=SDL_VIDEODRIVER DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command%

[open cypress]

do i put this in the launch options?

same error

[acoustic bramble]

when you run sudo env SDL_VIDEODRIVER, what do you see?

[open cypress]

env: 'SDL_VIDEODRIVER': No such file or directory

[acoustic bramble]

nvm wrong syntax, try printenv SDL_VIDEODRIVER

[open cypress]

new line

[acoustic bramble]

ye means you're not using wayland
could you look up loader.log file? ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/671860/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat/43ed9a4620fa486994c0b368cce73b5d/315826d981f4480aa6155e32d71b0d3b or use find ~/ -name loader.log

[open cypress]

im not using wayland either, i mentioned it before

[acoustic bramble]

sry didn't notice

[acoustic bramble]

drop loader.log file here

what proton version are you currently using?

[open cypress]

i used GE, but the issue persists across experimental, 9, 8, and hotfix

[acoustic bramble]

did you update your gpu drivers between the moment you were able to launch the game without this error and now?

[open cypress]

most definitely, but when i was playing the game i was playing it on arch linux

i use nvidia btw

[acoustic bramble]

did you install steam with flatpak or

[open cypress]

pacman

i used flatpak before but iirc it had the same issue

[acoustic bramble]

what about other games with proton?

[open cypress]

most of them work

[acoustic bramble]

check if player.log file exists, should be in /home/dainis/.wine/drive_c/users/dainis/AppData/LocalLow/BattleBitDevTeam/BattleBit
if it does - drop it here

[open cypress]

huh? i actually have a 1650 gtx

must be a wine thing

[acoustic bramble]

i remember a guy had exactly this error and with "gtx 470" in logs instead of his actual gpu, he fixed it by reinstalling mesa (drivers) and using flatpak instead of pacman

lmk if it helps you, if not i'll dm him and ask if there was something else to do to fix it

[open cypress]

seems to be working, i booted into the main menu
