It seems that for now, no Proton game will launch

First of all, while I’d like a fix, I don’t expect that any of you will have one right now, so if you want to ignore this because: “Oh god, another one.” go ahead. I don’t mind. Having a quick look through the gaming section, it seems to be the same for everyone. (But dear god stop nagging people over their NTFS-partitions, we get it, it’s not ideal for linux, but it’s really not the point with the current wide-spread problem.) :sweat_smile:

For example, I’m trying to launch Doom Eternal, which worked just fine a few weeks ago.
I have tried a lot of things, I’ve even tried timeshift to over 2 weeks back. Any Proton-Game I launch will fail silently.

Yes, I’m on steam-manjaro, I’ve tried -native, absolutely no difference.
No, my games are not on an NTFS drive, but on a quite new and clean ext4 partition on an SSD that I use for my bigger games.
I even tried Jamestown, moving the installation folder directly on my OS partition, didn’t work.

Native games seem to be no problem, tested with Caves of Qud and Steredenn.
My Guild Wars 2 lutris installation runs just fine too.

Here is steams terminal output while trying to launch DooG Eternal:

Anyway, I hope that some update sooner or later will just fix this entire mess. I guess this is the point where Manjaro can get a bit annoying for gamers.

Have you checked similar threads?
https://forum.manjaro.org/search?q=steam%20proton

Yes, I had looked at quite a few of the other threads, none of them seemed applicable to me.

Proton update during the night has fixed the problem, anyway.
