No games at all works in steam after updates

No games launches from steam any more.

Trying to start Valheim (worked before), native game gives me:

If I try to run a game that requires proton like Control f ex (worked in the past) I get:

The errors seems to be about steam overlay, witch I have disabled so I’m not sure why they are there…?

I used to have mangohud activated globally in /etc/environments but I have removed that for simplicity (and rebooted).

The error is referenced here but no solution is posted.

A simular error is referenced on the arch wiki here and it says to ensure that the package version matches.

Is this the problem?

Windows games running through lutris works.

I tried running steam-runtime --reset but that did not help.

Is your config correct ?
Have you set the nvidia modules to mkinitcpio.conf
and nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to Grub Command Line ?

bedna · 28 May 2023 22:07

I should maybe add that I ONLY have the egpu active, I have disabled igpu in bios.

I’m not sure how to handle mkinitcpio.conf, I have never used that but I’ll add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“nvidia-drm.modeset=1” to grub and reboot, but but since games launch in lutris under wine, I suspect this won’t make a difference (and has not been needed before), but I’ll try and come back with report.

Edit. No difference, same errors.

bedna · 29 May 2023 00:30

Ok, so… yeah… I figured it out… and now I need help with a different problem…

My drive, ext4 is not “executable” for some reason.

In my frustration I installed flatpaks version of steam to see if THAT could run games. When trying to give access to my game drive it gave me an error saying “dive has to be executable”. So I just installed Valheim in home to test, and it worked.
I just figured I solve the mount later if I could not get steam to work from the repository.

Made me think…
ONE thing I did do on the repository verson, was move the proton and snipe and other stuff that had been downloaded to my home drive to my game drive.
SO, I moved valheim to my home, and,… yepp, started without problems.
And if I move all the proton stuff I can also run control, EVEN though the game files are on my game drive. And I haven’t played valheim for a while only games that were emulated, THAT is why I thought “all games were working”. WTF?!?!

Thing is, I have RAN games natively from that drive and havent changed ANYTHING, starsector f ex (awesome game btw, check it out) and that wont run now either. The files have execution permissions and correct ownership.
I mount the drive in fstab with:
UUID=ccfef3ee-65e0-45e4-aac2-4604ad2e696d /media/games ext4 exec,user,auto,nofail,noatime 0 2

What has happened and how do I “save” the disk?

Edit. Can I move this to the correct forum somehow since this is clearly not a game related issue.
Edit2. Nvm, I think I did it, BUT MY DRIVE!! HJALP!
Edit3. If I change my fstab from user to nouser, I can suddenly execute files. If anybody cares to explain WHY that suddenly broke, I would LOVE to learn.

UUID=ccfef3ee-65e0-45e4-aac2-4604ad2e696d /media/games ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2

bedna · 29 May 2023 11:23

Yes, like I said, if I change from user to nouser (defaults = rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async) it suddenly works, the question is WHY did it suddenly break when using user since it HAS worked for a long time with that setting.

Edit. I find posts very old and new describing this, but cant find WHY this happens anywhere.
If I mount with exec,user,auto,nofail,noatime and then type cat /proc/mounts
it gives me:
/dev/nvme0n1p4 /media/games ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime 0 0

I’m just going to accept the fact that I will have to use sudo to mount, not a huge deal

Using exec,nouser,auto,nofail,noatime 0 2 gives:

cat /proc/mounts
/dev/nvme0n1p4 /media/games ext4 rw,noatime 0 0

I’m just going to slowly move on and forget any of this ever happened.
