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.
(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 tried devbox globaladd 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 then
ujust 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.

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?

Wait what distro are you on?
I’m running ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest It’s an offshoot of Silverblue
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?
