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.

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); do export $var=$(echo ${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command% -window -noborder
But it didn't change anything.
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?
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.
(edit) I've tried installing steam a few different ways. First, I tried installing with nix.
nix profile install nixpkgs#steam
resulted in an error about non-free software that couldn't be bypassed, so I trieddevbox global add steam@latest
which did work, but only in so much as it installed. It failed to launch steam, never mind any games.Then I tried docker, since it's what I used prior to flatpak. I first ran
podman pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome
thenujust distrobox bazzite-arch ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome
This functioned well, but had the same exact problems as the flatpak version.I was unable to install the rpm-ostree version. Apparently, Bluefin doesn't include it in the default repositories.
I did test to see if 'brew' had steam in its packages, but unfortunately it didn't.
Is this on one of Fedora's images or on one of uBlue's images? Regardless, could you specify what exactly we're dealing with?
I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue
Thanks for the clarification! We actually run very similar systems; I'm on the hardened Bluefin-dx image as per secureblue.
~~Regarding Steam, Bazzite -one of Bluefin's uBlue siblings- actually switched over to RPM Fusion's Steam due to issues with the Flatpak.~~ EDIT: The former is false. The Deck images have always been on RPM Steam. Only the Desktop images moved to RPM Steam (from Distrobox-Arch) for support consistency reasons. Appreciation goes out to [email protected] for correcting me!
I don't know what exactly is the way to go for you. But I can suggest the following possibilities (from own experience):
rpm-ostree
.Bazzite lead developer here, we actually never used the flatpak. Our first release had it installed in a distrobox container on the desktop images. Deck images always had RPM Steam because Steam is essentially functioning as a desktop environment there. We moved them both to be RPM for support consistency reasons.
Thank you so much for correcting me! I'll edit my earlier post to reflect this! Your work on Bazzite is much appreciated! Thank you!
Wait what distro are you on?
I'm running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It's an offshoot of Silverblue
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.
I added some system details to my original comment, if your still interested. I also included the logs from when I tried to run Titanfall 2
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?
Yes https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_Library_in_NTFS_partition
