Steam games won't launch

I was doing something with nvidia, but when i installed optimus manager steam games does not appear to launch, uninstalling doesn’t work, neither does answers to related questions. Although steam marks it as running
When run through terminal i get this

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Such as…?

Why?

Please do. Please post your system info as outlined here:

Right, sorry for asking badly,

my cpu is AMD ryzen 7
gpu: integrated Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series]
dedicated: GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile

the thing i was doing was trying to make steam games use my nvidia gpu and someone on a forum post said to install optimus manager, looking back im not sure if i was using the nvidia or not with steam, but now i cant launch steam games.

You did not provide the information I asked, please try again. You didn’t even click the link above let alone read it.

Please help us help you.

I did read it, I am unsure what you mean i have not sufficiently answered, May you clarify what it is i did not make clear.

Right from the link I posted:

Oh sorry, I was unsure of the meaning of system info,

i think drivers is relevent info for this problem.

I apologize for not giving sufficient information.

Thank you for posting that info. You have the proper video drivers installed. Now back to my original questions…

Speaking of video games, I’m going to play a bit before dinner so I’ll be off the forum until tomorrow. :wave:

Thank you for trying to help me.

I think I provided the requested info in a previous reply
but I will say again
I was trying to get steam games to use my nvidia driver, and multiple forum posts suggested installing optimus manager.

Thank you.

There is one thing only to do to use the Nvidia card on an hybrid laptop in Manjaro (of course if you have installed Manjaro’s hybrid profile/driver in MHWD), add the startup option prime-run %command% in the launch option in your game properties in Steam, as outlined in the various posts and articles about it everywhere.

Yes but now I do not care about getting it to run in Nvidia now I just want to launch my games.

Then do the basics

  • Verify your game files through Steam Verify Integrity of Game Files - How To’s - Knowledge Base - Steam Support
  • Delete (or rename for backup) the Proton prefix for this game, located at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/{APP_ID}/ where {APP_ID} is the Steam application ID (find it in the store page URL for the game, or in ProtonDB site, or in SteamDB site, and so on…)
  • Select the Proton 7.0 version in Steam Settings globally (not the Experimental, not an external one), and do not force another Proton version in the game Properties → Compatibility tab
  • Make sure you have the system and video drivers up to date
  • Add the proper launch option in the game properties to use Nviia card, so the prefix is initialized with the Nvidia card used, like you eventually want to achieve
  • Reboot (to discard issues which would have been solve by rebooting), and test
