Native Steam Game refuses to run.

Hello all,

After banging my head into the wall for far too long i have decided to post here.

to cut to it, darkest dungeon will not run off of steam.

I have,
uninstalled
verified
rebooted
changed to proton
used native
every version of proton
tried running it with the bin file, i get

Failed loading XF86VidModeLockSwitch: /usr/lib/libXss.so.1: undefined symbol: _XF86VidModeLockSwitch


what is going

i should clarify that when running it with the terminal it returns

plinthConfiguration() called.
option: appname "Darkest Dungeon"
option: shortname "darkest"
option: vsync "1"
Setting random seed: 1192192423 (0x470f69a7)
Video subsystem has not been initialized SDL Error

Re: Native Steam Game refuses to run.

more info

running  SDL_VIDEODRIVER="X11" /path/to/bin will run the game. BUT will only run the intro and the cinematic and main menu the game WILL STILL not run

the console after dumping will say this

zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  SDL_VIDEODRIVER="X11"



wtf
but exporting that variable will not let it run through steam

Re: Native Steam Game refuses to run.

Please edit an existing post instead of  creating a new one if no one has responded.

Is this the gog version, a steam version or something else ??

Please post the outputs of

$ lspci -k
$ glxinfo -B    #install mesa-utils if needed
$ pacman -Qs sdl

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

How are you "exporting" it, exactly?

Have you tried adding the variable to the Steam command line:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=X11 %command%

Re: Native Steam Game refuses to run.

i just run export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=X11
mu understanding is that this like, set this globaly. although you would certainly know more here, and that could easily be a symptom of my ignorance. i havent set it that way though steam yet, but i will try that when i get home from work.
i imagine that it will most likely run, but then crash after the intro and main menu, giving a seg fault again, if it behaves like lauchning the binary does

Re: Native Steam Game refuses to run.

Steam runs sandboxed so variables set from the desktop might not be applied.
