Most games installed on my main OS drive refuse to launch. Proton issue or something else? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Thank you, actually having a log to go through was very useful! Kinda. I managed to suss out that vkBasalt was having a config issue, which I eventually fixed. Now all my OS drive games seem to launch fine, except SteamVR (still).

I was able to do a little more research with info from the log and I found out running SteamVR the usual way was broken. Launching Steam from /usr/lib/steam/ makes it...sorta work.

Yeah, turns out it happened to be a separate issue from my initial problem, but with the same symptoms.

EXT4. Huh, didn't realize installing a Linux OS into an NTFS formatted drive was even a thing

It seems to mostly happen to 3D games, very rarely for 2D ones.

Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue for me since I install everything to secondary SSDs anyways, but the one piece of software that is driving me up a wall is Steam VR, since its installation folder can't be moved.

I could find plenty of fixes when it came to the opposite problem (launching games from another drive) but nothing for my situation.

Any solutions or even just point me in the right direction where to start when it comes to troubleshooting something like this?

OS: Endeavour OS

GPU: RTX 2070 (latest Nvidia drivers)

CPU: Ryzen 2700X

Happens on both X11 and Wayland environments and everything is up-to-date

Edit: also this seems to happen with every version of Proton

Want to move on from Mastodon, but so confused on what platform to choose in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I keep reading stuff like this, but there's never really any context to go with it. Could you explain?

Awesome to hear! I was already going to get Ultra a second time, and this is just icing on the cake. Thank you for all your hard work!

Exactly that! Say I had a bunch of saved posts about Linux distros, I could create a category called "Linux" and stick them all there. On the Reddit page for your saved posts there would be a drop down and you could filter them either by user-created category or by subreddit. It was actually really handy

Obviously this is way early, and getting the app functional and out is more important, but back when Sync was being developed for Reddit, I remember ljdawson saying he didn't want to add Save Categories because that was a Reddit Gold feature.

Since Lemmy doesn't really have anything similar, would this be something to consider adding in the future?
