There are a bunch of games on steam labeled as “playable”, but that silently fail when I attempt to launch them. Always the same issue, and it isn’t specific to a single game. Binding of Isiac was one of these until recently, where it mysteriously fixed itself while I wasn’t paying attention. Titanfall 2 is another, which I’m still struggling with.
If anyones interested, I’ll copy paste the steam logs. I’m typing this from my phone, so I can’t do that from here.
What gpu do you have?
Have you checked protondb?
What version of proton do you have selected for steam play?
What version of steam are you using? Flatpak, deb/rpm or snap?
I’m using Proton Experimental. While I have checked ProtonDB, I wasn’t able to find a solution.
I did find that quite a large number of people suggested I put the following in the launch options:
for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); doexport$var=$(echo${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command% -window -noborder
I haven’t tried any of the other versions in a while, mostly because it takes forever to install, but I can do that. I’ll point out that this issue has been going on for years, and I had issues with all variants of steam I’ve tried before.
I’ll download steam a few other times from various package managers to see if any of them work now that some time has passed.
In particular, I’ll try rpm-ostree layering, docker, and nix
i’ll get back to you with the information when I’ve finished installing them
I played through the entirety of TF2 on Linux a while back, so I’m curious as to what’s the issue. Please share more details about your system and steam setup when you can.

can you answer the question abou the steam version?
Sorry, forgot about that. I’m using the latest steam beta, at the time of writing.
i didnt mean that, are you using the deb, snap or flatpak?
Sorry, Flatpak
I edited my original comment to contain some other system information and the logs.
Have you tried installing the deb/rpm and seekng if the game works then?

Are you using a NTFS drive to store the games?
I’m using Btrfs. I’m not that experienced with Linux, does that kind of thing usually cause issues?
