I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn’t launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I’m new to Linux gaming so I’m not sure what to do.

I have Intel i9 11th generation CPU, Nvidia 1650 GPU and 16GB RAM.

      Darn.

      At this point I’d be looking at logs. Two ways to go about this.

      The first is to launch steam from a terminal (close it, then just enter steam in a terminal) and then try to launch the game. Steam will spew out lines about what is going on into the terminal.

      The other way is to enable proton logs, which can be done by adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command% in the launch options for the game. Then when you attempt to run the game, a logfile should appear in you home folder.

      I’m also assuming you’ve tried multiple proton versions? If you haven’t, do that.
