Launch steam through the terminal and see if it gives you any info. Mine would crash when I used voice chat. I ended up using the flatpak version.

SuperRyn OP ,

It doesn’t give any more information than if you just launched the game executable directly. If you look at the original post’s comments, you can see that the issue has something to do with Fedora using LLVM

I think its great that its possible, but I am not sure if anyone would want to use RT on the Steam Deck.

@Molecular0079 @linuxFan I'm going to give it a try just to see how well it works.

The reason is most likely TF2 not playing nicely with wayland. I have nvidia and I needed to add this command “SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%” To be able to run it. If You can check if game runs on x11

SuperRyn OP ,

It was a problem with system libraries. I fixed it by switching to the steam flatpak

not sure about the problem, but I do know with my own fedora there is an issue with some audio encoding, once you fix your main issue and find the audio problem (affects voicelines and music) let me know and Ill try to find the solution again for you

SuperRyn OP ,

I switched to using the steam flatpak for my games, and it fixed the “not starting” issue. And yes, the voice commands aren’t working. The music is working, but no voicelines.

liara , in Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

“Anti-piracy technologies is to the benefit of the game publishers, [but also] is of benefit to the players in that it protects the [publisher’s] investment and it means the publishers can then invest in the next game”

The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.

Sure it’s their right to protect it but I don’t think there’s any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.

A_Random_Idiot ,

Yep. Piracy has never resulted in a lost sale.

But piracy has resulted in people buying games they wouldnt have otherwise.

I wish the entire industry would choke and die on this entire fucking “1 download = 1 lost sale” hysterical nonsense.

Saying piracy has never resulted in lost sale is the same as saying it always results in a lost sale.

A_Random_Idiot , (edited ) in Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

I’d sooner believe shit is a harmless and beneficial food additive, than I’d believe DRM harmless. and no, I’m not a pirate, but that doesnt mean DRM hasnt fucked me, and not even in a DRM/Proton fashion because it was before I even switched to linux

angrymouse ,

I’m a pirate but also buy a lot of games, and fot me this kind of DRM just hurt your paying customers more than the pirate ones

proton_lynx ,

Ironically enough, I always pirate games that have DRM like Denuvo.

skymtf OP , in Steam takes forever to launch Arch Linux Nvidia

for anyone wondering a I fixed by deleting this directory ~/nvidia/GLCache/

theshatterstone54 , in Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

Modern games have been getting shittier, and with Denuvo claiming that many publishers don’t renew beyond that 6-month period, it really doesn’t change anything. The best period to buy (or pirate) a game seems to be 6 months to a year after release, when all the bugs that shouldn’t be there in a finished product have been fixed, and Denuvo is not there either (or the game has been cracked anyways), it seems to me that the best time to play a game for anyone involved, is 6 months to a year after release. Also, for paying customers, the game would have likely gone down in value significantly and you might be able to pick it up second-hand for a significant discount, while also ensuring you don’t support greedy publishers releasing half-baked, incomplete products. Problem solved.

None of the above applies to indie games, which I would feel more inclined to pay for, and genuinely find more fun nowadays.

But all of that is just my opinion on the matter.

A_Random_Idiot ,

Yeah, I dont even buy games new anymore.

Why should I? They are all broken betaware, that they want me to pay 50/60/70 dollars for! Its absurdity.

I wait for a year or two, and get the game and all its DLC on sale for 5 dollars. It’ll be the actual complete experience, and with the least amount of bugs too.

nintendiator ,
phx ,

Yeah but how many of those shitty bugs in the first 6mo are related to the crappy DRM causing issues?

@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

@skymtf Did you get anywhere with getting this working? I have same problem (KDE,NVIDIA,2077)

skymtf OP ,

I never did, I did manage to fix my issue with steam launching but this issue is still there.

p5f20w18k ,
@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

I had to set launch options to skip the launcher and use proton 7 or below, 8 is causing problems for me. Game is working now, some crashes but I think its one of my mods doing it

A_Random_Idiot , in Ryzen 7840HS stability issues?

Gonna need to know a lot more than what CPU you have to answer your question. Laptop brand/model, for starters.

miket , in Ryzen 7840HS stability issues?

What distro are you using, what is the rest of the system’s spec.

CPU isn’t enough to tell us anything.

Here is an example of someone showing an issue like this, where to look, and how it was dealt with.

bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217571

This whole thing can be overwhelming to people new to Linux and especially those without a very deep interest in the topic.

The basics, most users don’t really know about all the layers and complexity involved in an operating system. That is okay for the most part. Your issue is likely related to the kernel itself. When you are on edge hardware, you likely need to be on a very recent kernel for proper support. That is what is mentioned in the linked issue. No one expects you to be at the same level as these people or to report issues like this in the kernel. This is just a concise example with things to check if you know the gist of the example. Feel free to ask questions about whatever. I am no expert here. Others may be able to answer. I’ll try to help any way I can.

SmallAlmond , in CP2077 Flatlining

Me too here, it crashes when launching into the game after a few seconds, I haven’t figured it out yet I’ve tried everything.

p5f20w18k OP ,
@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

I think I found a fix, I added it as a lutris game and launched from there, and seems to be working now. I didn’t set up a prefix, just searched for cyberpunk and added the already installed game.

Not sure if that’s the fix, or if the latest software update I did fixed it.

SmallAlmond ,

That’s a good idea, thank you!

p5f20w18k OP ,
@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

I’m also having problems with Proton 8+ (GE aswell) GE-Proton7-42 seems to be working best so far, but I can’t get DLSS working with it.

@INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

Did you install any mods? I had similar problems because of an out of date mod. I deleted all and downloaded them again and now it’s working well

p5f20w18k OP ,
@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

I had no mods at all, but I have mods working now
