Hello,

I just installed the last Manjaro on my Asus TUF F15.
Graphic card is corrrectly recognized (GTX1650)
I tried to install Civilization VI over steam.
When I launched it, it crashes, and through the command line, there is this error message:
symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

When I Try to lauch Counter Strike Global Offensive, the introduction video works, but after that, theres a black screen and nothing else…

Anyone has an idea?

Many thanks in advance

Hi and welcome tot he forum :wave:

Looking up the game in the protondb will give some helpfull tips and settings to get it to run on your system. Searching with that specific error will point to some years old posts on reddit witch could be relevant but I would look at the prorondb first for way’s to run the game.

Edit: There is a steam thread with a fix it seems.

Add to Launch Options:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 %command%

Hi, i have same problem. Even native linux games won’t start like CS GO, CIV 5, CoH2. Only game that starts properly is Stelaris. CS GO starts only in window with intro video and than nothing happens. CIV5, CoH2 and other games are starting for 1 second and nothing happens.

My config is AMD GPU 5700XT and Ryzen 5800. I can’t find solution. Few months ago steam worked great. Now even after fresh Manjaro install games doesn’t run. Maybe they changed something in manjaro or steam client ?

I had the same issue, then when I used the above launch option it would not detect my GPU and would play REALLY slow.

To fix I right clicked on Civ 6 in the game list and went to properties.
Under Compatibility check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”
Choose the top highest version of Proton that is not experimental.
Steam will download some updates and you will be able to play, and have your GPU recognized.

If you get a black screen after the intro video in CS:GO(@alfniro and @Rancor), please run the game with -fullscreen launch option. What happens is the panel covers the next and skip buttons.

I am having issues on stream specifically with Counter Strike GO as well.

Try deleting all the commands in your launch option.
