This is driving me crazy. I’m trying to run BG3 and I’m running into a variety of errors:

My step up:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3git2308230600.fbf3f6oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi RAM: 63 GB

One seems to be this for which I feel I’ve tried every googable solution:

You must install .NET to run this application.

App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche r\LariLauncher.exe Architecture: x64 App host version: 6.0.18 .NET location: Not found

Another is this:

ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

But I’m not even sure what this points to now.

Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?

EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I’d heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.

so it turns out that no games run on steam! The only thing I can get to work is minecraft at the moment, and that doesn’t use steam!

99% of the time, that means SteamOS is getting sleeby and needs a reboot. (Some component of wine or something is not very good at cleaning up itself. You could try to chase it down, but trust me just rebooting is easier. Welcome to Linux.)

Did you enable proton? I seem to remember sometimes having to enable it for all games manually

Minecraft runs because Minecraft is Java and runs natively

You can actually play steam games through lutris I think, last I checked there was an option for connecting steam

That said I think most people save for the most diehard FOSS people would probably rather use steam for steam games

@zelifcam Steam+Proton doesn’t work out of the box for everyone. I have two laptops with different hardware/OSs, and I run into compatibility issues on one system that I don’t encounter on the other when attempting to launch the same games.

While I do agree that Steam+Proton provides excellent support - there are cases when Lutris+Wine and Bottles run better into certain configurations.

Sounds like Steam and Proton may be broken. do sudo apt purge steam and then delete all your Proton prefixes in I think its ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (the folders will all be game ID numbers) then reinstall Steam and try again. I’m running the game with the launcher on Pop!_OS 22.04 which is Ubuntu based and have no problems. However I set in the launcher to use Vulkan instead of DirectX
