Cannot launch game on linux (no executable + steam must be running ) errors

[Picarica]

so i am on linux machine gentoo x64 currently and i cannot launch this game, every other game works, it got broken after the robot update, i didnt had a chance to try it out even

so the error is, when i am opted out of betas and i launch NS2 i get error
Executable ns.exe not found
which is weird why is it trying to find ,exe when i am on linux

then i opted in linux BETA and launch the game and i got error
steam must be running to play this game
any fix to this or anything ?

i tried so far:
veryfing game files
restarting steam
manually launching executable
launching it with proton

Native linux version is no longer actively supported.

You have to use Proton with the Windows version.

Sounds like a Steam/System issue. Try rebooting your PC while opted-in to the Linux version.

pff they say we should use steam play that has same or better performance, what a bull, proton has horrible performance the only viable windows alternative is tkg-protonified but steam doesnt support it so that ends there with proton i get so many stutters its unbelieavable this suck big

Try to use custom proton releases:
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
Im currently using 4.15-GE-4 which gives decent performance.

@Picarica

there is also this tasks: https://trello.com/c/L9eHJU4q/1562-331-linux-performance-issues-from-build-331

In which the ns2 devs try to address the proton issues. I think in general the current build (b331) has bad performance for server and client

You have to create a new directory named 'compatibilitytools.d' (the path depends on the distribution you are using. On my ubuntu it is ~/.steam/compatibilitytools.d/).
Place the downloaded custom proton there and restart steam.
After these steps the new version will be available to choose at the games properties.
