Help me, so yesterday i got linux (not first time) on another hardrive when i try running lethal company with proton 9 it will just crash and close and roblox it will get stuck at installing

Here is my pc and distro info: Distro: Fedora 40 Kinoite Cpu: i3 12100f Gpu: Nvidia gtx 1650 gdrr6

Update: so just get bazzite and beamng won't work on linux|

Getting fedora kde spin helped fix most of the problems

I don't believe Roblox works on Linux, even with Proton

Idk if grape juice solves it

Roblox no longer works on linux, by roblox's design. They claimed too many cheaters were using wine to exploit.

Okay we still have barely any info to go on, but I'll say check out https://protondb.com. Place was made for this sort of info.

How are these games (Lethal Company, BeamNG) installed? If they came from a Windows install on NTFS, just reinstall them on a proper filesystem and then you will be able to play them through proton. Roblox just doesn't work so it's not worth testing.

I think ext4 and ntfs are for hardrives I can be wrong tho

Yes, thats what hes asking. are you a dualbooter/have the games on a NTSF drive, or are they on a native linux partition.

I am dual booting (on a seperate drive) And am installing the games on linux using steam but kde lets me access my windows ntfs drive

Assuming you are installing your Steam library on your ext4 partition rather than ntfs one for your Windows install, BeamNG will likely be the easier game to diagnose for your game crashes on launch. The log file to find for BeamNG is located by default in steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/BeamNG.drive/0.32/ as beamng.log. By default in a standard Steam install, your steam library is located at ~/.steam/root/. I am unsure if Bazzite installs Steam as a Flatpak. If it does, the default Steam library should be at ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/. If you chose a custom location for your Steam library, it will be wherever you chose it to be.

ty for this tip

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Beamng now ships with a linux native version. Check on /binlinux inside your game folder

BeamNG non native works fine for me through Steam. Native version also works but is too buggy still.
