Game won’t load

[ndp16]

I try to launch a game on my Chromebook and it won’t start, any solutions?

[Hennix]

you need windows or linux os to run pc games

[ndp16]

Yes, I’m playing on linux

[nullable]

What game? What are your system specs?

[ndp16]

Football Manager 24
1366x768

Is it an ARM or Intel/x86 based Chromebook?

That's a screen resolution, not the hardware in the chrome book. If you want help you have to provide good info. If it's not worth your time or effort to provide usable information, kinda just sounds like you don't care if you can play the game or not. And if you don't care, why should anyone else?

So do you wanna try providing your system specs again? Or are you over it and on to something else?

[ndp16]

How do I tell?
It says linux x86-64 if that what you mean

[ndp16]

I’m sorry it’s the first time I’ve used a computer to play games.

[ndp16]

Intel pentium silver
1.1GHz-3.1GHz
4mb cache
4gb LPDDR4-SDRAM
128gb storage
Hope that is the right things, thanks

I really wanna get it working I’m just very new to this stuff

So based on your post I was able to infer this is your CPU

The onboard iGPU is

It seems like technically based on the system requirements on https://store.steampowered.com/app/2252570/Football_Manager_2024/ you should be able to run the game. Although the requirements are for Windows.

The game is supported by Proton, https://www.protondb.com/app/2252570 although you may need to try experimental. You might also need to check if your Intel UHD 605 drivers need updates too.

How do I check if my Intel UHD 605 drivers need updates? Cheers

Yeah, I get that. But the thing is PC gaming is a trade off of complexity and compromises. On the one hand you can run almost any game released in the last 40 years. On the other hand it's not always one button simple, and you may have to jump through hoops, troubleshoot, and learn a lot of things.

And your Chromebook isn't exactly a gaming PC, so you've added some hoops to manage right out of the box. Between the super low end specs, and running ChromeOS you're going to want to do your research first about whether you can run a game on your machine, and how much work that might entail to get it running.

I might try the Football Manager 2024 forums to see if anyone else has done what you're trying to do. They may be able to point you in the right direction. Otherwise you're gonna have to google around to see what sort of things you might try, or need to do.

A lot of PC gaming requires you to be a little resourceful whenever you have an issue.

Yep I’ve been looking for 3 days now but no one seems to have the same issue, or the right fix and I’ve looked everywhere. Not many people use Chromebook so it’s very hard to find people with this problem
