Steam games crashing

General Help
,
1

Hi everyone!
It's been a long while since I'm not having any problem with Zorin (much more than Windows :smiley: ) but now I am facing a big one with Steam games: after a normal update requested from the OS, it looks like Steam games are not working anymore: they just open (black screen) and then they crash.

I have tried to log one of them (Borderlands 3), this is what I got: Borderlans_Proton - Pastebin.com

Then, just to have a bigger picture, I tried with It Takes Two (because it runs with EA) which used to run properly using Proton Experimental and now it doesn't. I was forced to use Proton 7.
The output is MUCH bigger so I'm pasting the last lines.

Other games out of Steam are working.
Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you in advance!

hi,

I haven't not real same problem, but often my games don't start with kernel/drivers updates.
I disable Shaders on steam for clean and re-enable and it is work fine.

Settings Steam -> Download on menu -> turn off "Shader in cache"
Close and restart steam and turn on.

May be try that :man_shrugging:

Hi Aranud,
thank you for your feedback.

I have tried but with no luck.

However I had an idea and tried to open Cuphead, which is natively supported on Linux and it opened but it was really laggy and I had difficulties on closing it.
I suppose that for some reason Steam is using CPU instead of the GPU.

Does this make sense?

Edit: maybe the nvidia driver got corrupted? I think that insi should see the GPU, but this is the output

Edit3: I guess I got the point, Steam does not recognize the GPU

... but I don't know what to do know.

Edit4: deb Steam recognizes the GPU

Edit5: after some hours I found the issue. It looks like Steam lost access (for some reason I cannot think about) to the GPU. I did install Flatseal and fixed it.
