I’m quite a newbie here and I’m trying to fix this without any changes for hours.

I just installed Crusader Kings 2 in steam, got it downloaded, installed, force run with proton and it didn’t work. I just shut down steam reboot my system and then when trying to open steam again I have this error.

Manjaro steam native configuration found!
Running Steam on manjarolinux 20.1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
/home/gupta/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam
/home/gupta/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh : ligne 750 :  3497 Erreur du bus
       (core dumped)$STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"

I then tried everything about updating nvidia drivers reinstalling steam etc… and I’m still having this exact same error.

Plus from now on, my laptop is getting much more laggy when rebooting or opening Konsole…

I was previously running Football Manager 2019, I’m running Optimus Manager Qt.

I’ll be really thankful if someone could help me to fix this. At least maybe just uninstall Crusader Kings 2 if it may fix the error.

Thanks a lot,

Kind regards,

Guptah

Remove/Delete the Steam folder in your home directory ( /home/gupta/.local/share/Steam/).

Why on earth are you running CK2 via Proton? It runs native in Linux?

Oh Lord I just did it without checking if it was native or not. Thank you for this one.

The thing is now I can’t find this hidden folder .local, i tried before to access it without success with the command ls -A I guess.

Thanks for your help

In dolphin:

By command:

cd ~/.local/share
rm -rf Steam

This will remove the Steam folder

Yep thank you it’s being deleted. Thanks for the command too.

Ok it’s deleted now. What should I do next ?

That’s it. Steam is now reset. Start steam again.

If deleting the folder didn’t work for some reason please try running steam via the cli and pasting the output logs here.

Ok it seems to work properly again !

Thanks a lot for your help !
