Steam Proton games do not work.

Dqwrq07 · 2021-11-28 21:43:39

Any time I try to launch a game which doesn't have a Linux build the window that says "Preparing to launch [Game] ..." appears for a while, disappears, and then the Stop button switches back to Play after a second. I tried looking for answers online but no one seems to have the same problem as me. When I run Steam from the terminal the output is the following when i attempt to play Bloons TD 6

The Proton version is set to experimental but i have tried to use 6.3-8 which didn't work either, but I don't know if it causes the same issue because i didn't run Steam from the terminal and I don't want to have to reinstall with my very slow internet.

My library is also on an ntfs disk.

I realised that I wasn't the owner of the external ntfs disk with my library and now the output is

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting

Look under "Other issues":

Steam Library in NTFS partition
If your Steam library resides in NTFS partition it is probable that games residing there could not start.
The trouble is that Wine uses a colon in its $WINE_PREFIX/dosdevices folder, and NTFS seems to have trouble supporting this.
Workaround: move the 'steamapps/common/Proton 3.7' and 'steamapps/compatdata' to a non-NTFS drive, then create symbolic link in their original locations.
$ mv SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7 /home/user/dir/
$ mv SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata /home/user/dir/
$ ln -s /home/user/dir/Proton\ 3.7/ SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7
$ ln -s /home/user/dir/compatdata/ SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata

I think this is fixed. The workaround you posted seems old(it mentions proton 3.7). I also have my games on ntfs drives and I can play them without problems(at least those which are playable with proton). For e.g I recently ran Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb raider, F1 2015, all on ntfs drive, all with proton.
@Dqwrq07
Try to run the game with PROTON_LOG=1 in launch options. Then you can find a file in your user directory which maybe have something useful which can help.

I followed kallklokhet's instructions and I got an error popup which has the message

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

I'm fairly sure this isn't the game because it's rated platinum on ProtonDB and worked fine on Windows.

V1del · 2021-12-12 14:00:17

What graphics do you have and did you ensure to install all the relevant 32bit libs? For DX11 stuff to work properly you need a functional Vulkan implementation.

Sorry for the late response. I'm fairly new to Linux and have no idea what any of that means.

V1del · 2021-12-25 13:07:31

And which instructions did you follow to install Arch Linux? This really isn't the best distribution to start with and especially not if you followed some third party tutorial.

We need to know which graphics card and driver you actually have and whether you installed all the necessary components. E.g. you need lib32-nvidia-utils on nvidia cards and if it's an Optimus system you'll potentially need to run the game with prime-run or if it's AMD you'll want mesa and lib32-mesa {lib32-}vulkan-radeon or vulkan-intel for intel (though afaik the latter case doesn't have full support for all the vulkan extensions that might be necessary)

Post

glxinfo -B
vulkaninfo --summary

from mesa-utils/vulkantools

Lilitu-Blackstar · 2021-12-25 13:09:16

here this may help you understand the question asked https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#D … stallation you will see your respective driver you installed to get xorg working, so see as well it has a 32bit arch version called lib32-* these are needed for steam which is a multilib package

ill quickly break all that down to the best of my ability since you said you are unsure what it means.

desktop / laptop computers used to be 32bit processors back prior to the early 2000s, and since 64bit have become the new standard. as such some applicatkions are designed in 32bit or 64bit. hence the existance of the multilib repository you set up in pacman during steam install or earlier. though i could there isnt a great reason to explain the difference in 32bit and 64 bit in context of this, however jsut know that 64 bit graphics drivers do not function with 32 bit applications so you must also install the lib32 versiions. hope that helped

Lilitu-Blackstar · 2021-12-25 13:10:38

@videl arch isnt a bad first distro. if someone reads, is interested, or wants one that doesnt come preloaded with a bunch of nonsense its fine. i would argue not to stick a fresh fish on gentoo or crux, yet arch is as easy as a minimal distro gets imho

--edit:

minimal / diy distro*

I also reinstalled lib32-mesa and mesa but tthat didn't help.

and what of vulkan-intel?

V1del · 2021-12-26 18:45:07

vulkaninfo is from vulkantools but if you indeed only have a skylake intel card I'd not put my hopes up, you can try installing vulkan-intel and lib32-vulkan-intel. If it doesn't work beside that you can still force proton to use OpenGL/Wined3d by adding

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

to the launch options of a given game, but that might have performance implications if you try something newer that tries to use DX11
