I am extremely new to Manjaro and have zero experience with it. I also really have no knowledge about computers, so please bear with me. Trying to find a fix for 3 problems I’m having with Steam. Games silently crashing, I’ve seen some forum topics with this but I cannot comprehend how to fix it.…

Here’s some info if you need: System: Kernel: 6.1.12-1-MANJARO arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.1 parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1-x86_64 root=UUID=bb64b099-53da-4364-a9e2-20cb8e551695 rw quiet splash apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 Desktop: Xfce …

I’m not sure that is what’s causing the crashes though. I’ve heard it’s due to some files, but haven’t gotten any advice on it. I’ll check that out though, if I can figure it out. Thanks! Is this the correct place to look? https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Swap

The SWAP is obviously a good lead, just add a swap file, follow the WIKI. However, are you trying to play Windows games (so with the translation layer called Proton/WINE), on your antiquated hardware? For example, Bioshock Remastered minimal configuration from Steam page says at least a GTX 670. D…

Yeah, I realize alot of the problems are most likely due to how old the computer is itself. However, most of the crashes I’m experiencing (from what I’ve read online) are not due to that, looks to be some sort of file causing it. Obviously I’m not an expert though, so I don’t know. Yes, I am runnin…

If you want to add a SWAP file it is simple, as the wiki says, open a terminal and do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096 status=progress sudo chmod 600 /swapfile sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile sudo bash -c "echo /swapfile none swap defaults 0 0 >> /etc/fstab" WARNING: …

Maybe the way I fixed my own install will help. [image] Steam Proton Games do not start after last update Gaming OK , I think I fixed it !!! I completely wiped steam from my pc including the folder from my $home directory. Then in my NTFS drives i removed the /compatdata …

Thank you!! I will try those and let you know if it works!! Edit: I ran the swap file commands and looks like everything is fine. Is there anything else I need to do regarding the swap file?

Thank you!! I will also try that if the previous fix doesn’t work.

I think the Startup Options solved the problem for most of my games. However, Bioshock was loading faster than normal (on the main game loading page) and then randomly just stopped. Not sure if it’s because of what you mentioned before. Usually it freezes up my entire computer, but it seemed to be l…
