Acer Nitro AN515-53 gtx 1050, trying to launch rocket league, always freezes at load screen. using nvidia driver-535.
any suggestions?
thanks
What are you trying to launch the game through? If you run that program from the terminal, then try to launch the game, what does the terminal show when the game doesn't launch?
steam. i click the button.
So what I mean is, you should launch steam using one of the following ways:
If you have steam installed as a deb, you can run:
steam
Or if you have steam installed as a flatpak:
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
This will open and run steam through the terminal (useful for debugging as is the situation here).
Once it's open, you can click the game you want to run and see the output as it attempts to run the games. So you can run steam through the terminal, then just run whatever game as you would normally do (in this case rocket league) and see what the output says.
As an aside, I would also try to run another game and make sure everything's working fine that way.
ALSO: I think rocket league is now owned by Epic, and as such is launcher exclusive to them? I think if you had an original account they still allow you to go through Steam, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it's trying to then launch Epic Games store and failing.

yeah, it still showed as linux compatible in steam, i DID get counter strike 2 to load, so maybe it is just an issue with this title. I live out in the sticks with makeshift internet, so downloading games to test takes forever,
Yeah I think you'll need to go through epic games to play it. The Linux version they have stopped entirely supporting. If you ran it through proton on steam it might work, but it still might be an issue of needing the epic client.
i will say, i dont think i have the correct drivers installed, and the area to change it is greyed out
In terminal, what is your output for
nvidia-smi
and what Nvidia Graphics card are you using?
If in terminal, running
sudo lshw -C video
shows you as on llvmpipe, then you are on fallback drivers, not the Nvidia 535.
I'm seeing notes on ProtonDB that the Linux native version doesn't work anymore, and that you need to force a compatibility tool in Steam to get it to work. This is actually really easy: right click the game in your library, choose properties. Choose "Compatibility" from that menu, and check the box next to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool." In the dropdown, pick a version of Proton. I'd start with Proton Experimental.

in didnt giver any errors, i restarted and it didnt change anything in my settings
At any point, did you run
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
before resuming your attempt to install Nvidia drivers?
Seems the driver isn't correct installed.

Not intending to hijack, but I recently installed Sream via Flatpak as Q4OS doesn't suport Steam directly. My youngest tried it today and it doesn't run. An old Q4OS forum thread points to a very interesting Debian Wiki on Steam and what pitfalls are present, with solutions:
