Hi! Absolutely none game with Steam Proton doesn’t works! But when I use Wine-GE with Lutris (or just use Wine-GE instead of Steam Proton) - everything works fine! Where’s the issue may be? 🤔
What games? Which Steam Proton and Wine-GE versions do we talk about?
BTW there is also a Proton GE and you can use it in Steam as well. Just saying. Some games do need a specific Steam Proton version, either an older or newer one, such as Proton Experimental. Some games are only working with Proton GE (or Wine GE).
And you can always lookup if the game works, by looking into reports from Protondb website (user generated).
Probably not the issue, but is there a reason you’re using such an old version of proton? Proton 10 is available in beta and proton 9 has been a smooth experience for most.
Are you recieving any error messages? Do you have logging enabled? (If you add “PROTON_LOG=1 %command%” to your launch options you can enable logging, they’re stored in /var/log/ and will be called [steamid].log
Enabling logging can tell you WHY things are breaking.
My personal theory, because it seems to happen a lot, is the libraries that should be linked automatically aren’t loading and proton doesn’t know where to find them, it happens sometimes!
If that’s the case, your log files will point to the missing libraries, install them or find them burried in your system and copy them to your game directory.
Have you configured flatseal to allow steam access to your “/usr/lib/*”?
I didn’t notice any libraries failing to pull but you should give steam access there anyway to help get your Linux native games running easier.
Allowing steam access outside its own container should fix most issues, but it doesn’t look like it will fix this one.
Additionally, I noticed issues with msaa happening, are you using an Nvidia GPU by chance? If so, I recommend Opening the Nvidia x-config app and overriding antialiasing and forcing 4x or 8x fxaa instead of msaa. Msaa is borked on Nvidia, renders basically any game using it unplayable.
Took me weeks to get Cities Skylines 2 working until I stumbled upon that accidentally.

And also with
Wine 10.7 staging-tkeverything works fine 🤔Proton 8.0-5andWine-GE 8-26.Probably not the issue, but is there a reason you’re using such an old version of proton? Proton 10 is available in beta and proton 9 has been a smooth experience for most.
Now I’ve try Proton-GE 9-27 that I installed by ProtonUp-Qt. But it also gave me the same 😟

But for example I’ve try to launch a game through Steam Proton 8.0-5 via Steam from Flatpak now. How can I find here required libraries?

OHH you’re using flatpak!
