Steam Proton doesn't works (lemmings.world)

Hi! Absolutely none game with Steam Proton doesn't works! But when I use Wine-GE with Lutris (or just use Wine-GE instead of Steam Proton) - everything works fine! Where's the issue may be? πŸ€”

...will encounter many absurd and esoteric problems, all of which ultimately stem from the fact that the vast majority of linux software is developed with systemd as the default, assumed, init system.

Unless the application in question is directly interacting with systemd, then I believe this is overblown.

Applications largely simply expect certain features to be supported. DNS, for example, could be provided by systemd-resolvd or by dnscrypt-proxy.

This isn't being built around systemd, this is being built around the expectation of a feature. This feature can be provided by different applications and still function.

In my experience, providing the features expected is far more important than providing specifically the systemd API.

Basically, any Linux OS that doesn't use systemd should be considered entirely experimental, beyond any software that the OS devsΒ explicitlyΒ state they support.

Hard disagree.

I think the init system is more abstracted away from the developers of a game/typical user app than you are implying.

But if it will works πŸ€”. And what can I do to do now? Remains only to have try to install some other OS.

Also I've try this instruction: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/HowToEsync.md

But this also was be helpless 🀷

I would look at the proton log of a game that doesn't work.

How do I create logs of a game I run with Proton?

Proton will create a log file for a particular game, if you set the launch parameter to:

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

The log file will be created in your home folder with the name scheme steam-$STEAMID.log. For example:

$HOME/steam-379720.log

It doesn't seems that the problem in SystemD πŸ€”. Maybe...

Take the whole log and put it a pastebin like pastebin.com. Then reply with the link.

Try different versions of proton. Also try changing the version of steam to the flatpak version, or to the native version if you are already using flatpak.

[–] HungryLemon@lemmings.world 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So... The version from Flatpak (https://flathub.org/apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam) is not official?

[–] HungryLemon@lemmings.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But, anyway, I've try to set up Steam from Flatpak... But there's absolutely the same result:

Games still don't works 🀷

Try setting PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% as the game launch options for a few different games and launch them.

  1. What graphics card are you using?
  2. What is the output of lspci -nnk | grep "Kernel driver in use"
  3. What desktop environment?
  4. What filesystems for your root drive and mounted drive?
  5. Is your mounted drive able to be read, written to, and have programs run on it by your regular user account?
