The issue might be with Vulkan, but I’ll check to make sure. Whenever I try to play Black Mesa, it always needs to load Vulkan, despite others saying it only needs to happen once. I’ll adjust the Proton logs and use the terminal output for Steam as well and see if I can find the problem(s). Thanks for the help
I tried that and the terminal did show something. However, the ouput was much longer than I was expecting, so it will take a bit for me to parse through everything.
I have Dell Inspiron 16 Plus with an Intel i7, 32GB of ram, and a 3060m. I installed the games normally through Steam; I didn’t alter the download location, or anything like that.
My laptop has an intel cpu and an nvidia gpu, and I’m running Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon. Most of the time I don’t get errors, usually when I try to launch the game. This happens when I try to play Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition.
My laptop has an intel cpu and nvidia gpu. I’m currently running Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon. I’ve been using protondb.com to check for support, and everything so far has either native support, platinum or gold rating. The games I am currently trying with are Black Mesa and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition.
I recently made the switch to Linux Mint with a partition on my laptop. For work, it has been quite nice, but gaming has been incredibly difficult. I only managed to get one game to run seemingly without issue, which was Factorio, but any other game, Linux native or otherwise, has been an absolute headache to play, if it even runs at all. I'm using Proton and Protondb, but nothing seems to really work. While I'm willing to put in some work to get my games to run, I don't know how to figure out what is wrong and what I need to do to fix them.
So, how do I go about fixing this sort of stuff? My method of trying every single version of Proton with various recommended settings/commands from Protondb has not yielded anything beneficial. Additionally, searching the web with errors has also not yielded any meaningful results. For now, my solution is to switch back to windows if I want to play anything other than Factorio.
Thanks for the help.
