Game does not start anymore on LINUX+Steam

[☾★TriMoon☾★]

When i click start game from within Steam on Linux, the game's launcher does not start anymore since a few days.
Anyone any idea?

That is the most likely explaination. Last time i got this error, it was due to a steam version/launcher version mismatch. Most likely will be fixed with in the week.

next week ... oh well .. i thought that is something for the next hour oO ..

fatal error over and over again. It looks like the new update requires "vulkan loader".
On ubuntu you can install it by
1. open up terminal
2. type "sudo apt install libvulkan-dev"

Last week? STEAM+OS launcher stopped working. Today, after 'update'? Manual launcher approach is total fail now too. Screen goes black & stays black after PLAY is pressed. Maybe the Force is strong with Rahman, because "sudo apt install libvulcan-dev" + reboot didn't change one thing about this broken behavior. Game won't launch using Proton either. WT (& its devs) have long had a fully proven & ongoing history of NOT working well with Linux/OpenGL, & my 'fix' for that? Take this p.o.s. pathetic-excuse-of-an-app off of the STEAM+OS list of compatible games, & delete it from your libraries (IF you're a Linux-only user). WT is not truly compatible, never really was, & sadly looks to forever remain just that way....

Lets just rename the game from now on to "War Plumber"

u will get the same black screen if u play Feral's Linux games that requires vulkan. The launcher will do nothing forever lol unless u install vulkan-loader.

So how is going? still unable launch wt after install vulkan loader?
in my case i was able to logged in but when entered the hangar game the game gets Fatal Error

Haven't ever gotten that far, & honestly don't expect to do so. I did your recommended "sudo apt install libvulcan-dev", then a reboot, but nothing changed. Alas, it is wtf it is, ain't wtf it ain't, & my 'fix' stands. Wait & see for a week or so, then delete it from library afterward if nothing gives....

Maybe it's all on their end, maybe the Nvidia-450 driver is to blame, maybe STEAM needs to take a long look & do some re-work, or some wonky combination. Who knows, right? I'm no super-user, so it definitely falls to others to bugfix this antfarm....

yeah maybe it usually works. Have you tried the launcher manually *with out steam??

[Lebeau]

I've tried steam+os launch, & it crashes as soon as the process begins. I've tried manual without Steam, & screen goes dark & stays that way now. Before the 'update' yesterday, it would go dark, but then a click on the screen would return me to desktop, & the app was running minimized. Once maximized, I could see the launcher, & press PLAY. After that, it went dark again, but I could click on the screen a 2nd time, & then maximixe the app (which was running) from my taskbar, & play game normally thereafter. That was then, but this is now. I've tried the Proton approach as well, & made launcher an .exe as it requested, but get the same result as launching it via steam+os : the process crashes a split second later, before the launcher even comes up. I've also tried to run it manually, then attempted a "WIN+DOWN" to minimize the app or an "ALT+TAB" (to bypass the 'eternal darkness'), but those did nothing, & I had to "ALT+F4" (kill it) to return to desktop, same as before with the manual approach. Other than wait, I'm out of options. My 'professional' prognosis? It's all tore up!....

On GOL it was reported that it's broken if you use xorg, but it seems to work when using wayland......
so with nvidia not supporting wayland right now, i'd consider it completely broken right now

If you're using a Nvidia graphics card enable 'Force Composition Pipeline' in the Nvidia X Server Settings. It fixed the black screen issue for me.

[Rahman♥Linux]

what about this problem

the changelog on 2.1.0.27 says: A client crash when entering the hangar has been fixed.
reality: still happens on 2.1.0.28

[PrivateFrazer]

i tried the Force Composition Pipeline thing, and starting from Launcher, and copying the files from bak... still nothing - or rather, its there - i can hear it, i can tab through to a blank loading page, and i catch glimpses of it, but its not working, i will undo Force COmposition
