lofty goblet
steady night
lofty goblet
#

also are you using gamescope?

steady night
#

and i am using proton

steady night
lofty goblet
#

could try the native linux version

steady night
#

i am trying the native linux version..

lofty goblet
#

isnt needed

steady night
#

undertale comes with a native linux

#

and that was whats running there

lofty goblet
steady night
#

no

lofty goblet
#

since proton is used to run windows games

steady night
#

it just means i am USING proton, not using it for undertale

lofty goblet
#

i dont see why you would answer it like that

#

doesnt help

steady night
#

okay

lofty goblet
#

try using the windows version of the game

#

just force it to use proton

steady night
#

i already did

#

doesn't work

#

its just steam games in general

#

nothing to do with proton or native linux

lofty goblet
#

are you using the flatpak version of steam?

steady night
#

unsure, though i believe i used pacman

#

after uncommenting that 1 thing

#

i forgor its name

lofty goblet
#

do you have any launch options set?

steady night
#

no

lofty goblet
steady night
#

its required if you don't use flatpak, lemme find the name

lofty goblet
#

oh wait i know what you mean

#

the repo

#

have you tried games that you own

steady night
#

FOUND IT

#

multilib

lofty goblet
#

and not family shared games

steady night
#

same exact result, won't launch

#

i heard there may be possible issues with fonts and or file formatting

#

(i'm currently using btrfs)

#

i heard ext4 is usually more preferred with steam related subjects

lofty goblet
#

i havent had any issues with btrfs with steam yet

#

give me a minute

#

what proton version did you use btw?

steady night
#

latest apart from experimental

#

and i tried experimental too

#

same exact result

#

i tried older too

#

this issue seems to be unrelated to proton as a whole, as this happens with the native games AND proton games

#

yes i tested with windows exclusive games (proton)

#

i made sure to get the 32 bit drivers (proprietary nvidia)

#

only issue i guess i could think of is fonts and or file formatting

#

but file formatting as previously mentioned didn't seem to impact you

lofty goblet
#

your pc should be 64 bit

steady night
#

you require both drivers for steam

lofty goblet
#

ah

steady night
#

64 and 32

#

usually you get the 32 bit drivers by requesting nvidia-utils from pacman

#

though i made sure to go reinstall from the arch page too,

#

same issue

lofty goblet
#

hm

#

are you using X11 or wayland?

steady night
#

X11

#

wayland doesn't work for me

#

always gave me a black screen

lofty goblet
#

using wayland or gamescope is my only idea really

#

im stumped

lofty goblet
steady night
#

arch install

lofty goblet
#

no clue then

steady night
#

yeah only issues i could really find were posts from people talking about possible fonts or file formatting issues causing it

#

i can see if i can get wayland working

#

but man it made me want to shoot my brains out when i tried before

lofty goblet
#

good luck 👍

steady night
#

how do i re-access the screen that allows me to choose between the 2,

#

cuz now i just get the basic login screen thats automatically x11

lofty goblet
#

log out

#

do you have smmd enabled?

steady night
#

how would i check

lofty goblet
#

not sure really

#

do you get a login screen liKE this?

steady night
#

i USED to before i chose x11 and logged in for the first time

#

and now i do not get a login screen like that

lofty goblet
#

it might have changed something

steady night
#

actually i see a post online saying how i can access versions from this new login screen

#

brb

#

mobile discord here i go!

#

Mobile I am on :yoda:

#

alr

#

wayland

#

weirdly now i dont get a blank screen

lofty goblet
#

drivers maybe?

steady night
#

maybe

#

lemme reboot

#

Alright now I'm faced with a black screen trying to login

#

Worse than before, I can't even move my cursor around lmfao

#

Can't access the command prompt either

#

Jeez, ultimate screwed!

#

Top 10 Nvidia driver moment

lofty goblet

steady night
