i have no idea how, why or what is wrong
it always feels like russian roulette but with 5 chambers filled
im honestly envious to constantly hear hwo great proton and stuff is
but for me it works like 1 out of 5 times, distro doesnt matter, all the results are the same
i stopped counting how often i got the useless “must be your hardware or your config!!!”, cant be that the software steam is trying to peddle and the software its based on are fundamentally broken, and when something goes wrong you might as well shoot yourself cause youd be hard pressed to find any reasonable help
no, my hardware is fine, it works perfectly and doesnt have any issues anywhere else
no, my config is fine, cause im not stupid enough to go anywhere near any kind of config that could break anything, i dont touch that stuff, cause there is no reason
The people trying to help you that you’re being so rude to are not the software you’re upset with. You shouldn’t be taking it out on others; especially not people being kind to you and just trying to help you. (Extra especially considering Beehaw’s whole thing is to ‘bee nice!’)
(something is wrong with the replies, it shows me yours two times so idk whats happening right now, i also replied to the wrong thing just now)
i dont see much kindness here, just something i have heard way too much about (not like anybody here knows), but ill stand by the point of the post, if id known the pain going through trying to make things work (and often failing) id have never bothered
What i don’t follow is why you’re having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games.
If it’s not the game, because you’ve checked protondb, and it’s not the software, because you’ve installed multiple distros i feel like you’ve either got some super unique hardware challenge or you’re making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you’ve done things that are obvious, we’re just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail.
Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you’re the root cause of your own problems.
You are quite the cocky jerk for not getting software to run that complete noobs are using on their Steam Deck. I’d be more ashamed than anything in your shoes.
jerk? sure (cause i have heard that "advice just as often as things havent worked, to me its about the same as “have you tried turning it off and on again?”, could i have been nicer about it? sure but at this point im so over it) but cocky? i know a dumb bitch and run of the mill advise, while good intentioned doesn’t make it helpful, granted i also havent shared more than it just not working (which is really all there is to it)

Sounds like either a hardware issue or some very specific configuration that breaks your games.
Or, that by poor luck, you really love games that break in Proton like Denuvu games, some blizzard games etc.

Do you check protondb?
my goodness what an idea! Why didnt i think of that!
Lol, so defensive.
So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then
thats the furthest from being defensive, more like aggressive against a piece of shit piece of software, but whatever dude
