Proton games not launching

[DannDaMANN]

Have recently installed Ubuntu on my P.C., however when I laaunch a proton game with any version (including GE), it says runningg for a second, then closes. Here is the proton loge for Geometry Dash with Proton 8:

Anybody got awnsers? I have tried multiple solutions online, none helped so far. I installed steam with apt and am running whatever the latest Ubuntu version is. My drive is ext4.

delete game folder from appdata. it looks like Proton can't run the prefix (probably damaged).
delete folder (numerical, by game id, probably 322170)
then switch to new Proton version - 7 - and start game again.

what is your video driver version?

Same issue haven't been able to figure it out on Ubuntu and my install wasn't recent... Saw another post in Russian about the same thing looks like something for broken.

Still no luck went through most of your guide

Im on Ubuntu 23.10 and have the nvidia-535 driver from the ppa in that thread. Kernel is 6.5.0-14-generic Still no luck at all of my partitions are ext4 and i completely uninstalled Steam and reinstalled and cant get a single non-native game to play

[Marlock]

nvidia driver 535 has an issue preventing initial directx setup, did you check the workarounds for that? it's in one of the last posts

I have not tried that workaround but i tried rolling back to 525 and still had the same issue

Have tried everything stated here, nothing worked. I have whatever the default Ubuntu open source Radeon 5600Xt drivers are, pretty sure I saw a progress bar for those installing when I was setting up Ubuntu. Nothing worked.

[Renegalis]

Fresh installed Ubuntu and wiped my drive stil lcant play any game with total fresh installs

I'm having the same issue but with Persona 5, it redirects me to a web page saying something wrong happened

I GOT IT!!!!!!
The current snap version of Steam isnt allowing any non-native games to run! Install the .deb and updated drivers and good to go!

Crud, I already have .deb version.

[Marlock]

you should not use the .deb file from Valve's website if Ubuntu still offers a "steam" apt package via their repos

since the native install has the same issue for OP as the snaps had for another user, but that user migrating from snaps to .deb fixed the issue for them, then it's probably the act of throwing away the steam user folder when moving between versions that helped, not an inherent issue with one version ir the other

maybe OP should try deleting (actually better just move it away, so you have a backup) the steam subfolder in your user home folder (sorry, i keep forgetting the exact path)
