HELP! BG3 failing to launch on Steam
HELP! BG3 failing to launch on Steam
This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to run BG3 and I'm running into a variety of errors:
My step up:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3git2308230600.fbf3f6oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi RAM: 63 GB
One seems to be this for which I feel I've tried every googable solution:
You must install .NET to run this application.
App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche r\LariLauncher.exe Architecture: x64 App host version: 6.0.18 .NET location: Not found
Learn about runtime installation: https://aka.ms/dotnet/app-launch-failed
Another is this:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
But I'm not even sure what this points to now.
Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?
EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I'd heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you add --skiplauncher to the launch options it skips the launcher and boots straight to the game. That might solve your problem.
so it turns out that no games run on steam! The only thing I can get to work is minecraft at the moment, and that doesn't use steam!
Did you enable proton? I seem to remember sometimes having to enable it for all games manually
Minecraft runs because Minecraft is Java and runs natively

You can actually play steam games through lutris I think, last I checked there was an option for connecting steam
That said I think most people save for the most diehard FOSS people would probably rather use steam for steam games
@zelifcam Steam+Proton doesn't work out of the box for everyone. I have two laptops with different hardware/OSs, and I run into compatibility issues on one system that I don't encounter on the other when attempting to launch the same games.
While I do agree that Steam+Proton provides excellent support - there are cases when Lutris+Wine and Bottles run better into certain configurations.
OP’s hardware is IDEAL for steam/proton on Linux. People are not having issues playing this game. Look at OPs post sea of green. https://www.protondb.com/app/1086940
When trying to help someone, you need to have a baseline and know exactly where they sit with their problem. OP has managed to skip providing details on some of the basics and left crumbles of using unnecessary tools to play a game reported to work well.
I said that because I was trying to make a point that it should be working. Cause it is, for nearly everyone. I’m sorry your laptops are having problems, but I’m not talking about your laptops. This thread is about a desktop using IDEAL hardware for steam and proton.
OP’s OS install is the issue. I’m not saying OP can’t get it in order eventually, I’m just suggesting to take 30 minutes and try a fresh install targeted for his use case. If that fails. Great, we have more data on the issue and we can move to another approach that makes sense.
99% of the time, that means SteamOS is getting sleeby and needs a reboot. (Some component of wine or something is not very good at cleaning up itself. You could try to chase it down, but trust me just rebooting is easier. Welcome to Linux.)
Sounds like Steam and Proton may be broken. do
sudo apt purge steamand then delete all your Proton prefixes in I think its~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata(the folders will all be game ID numbers) then reinstall Steam and try again. I'm running the game with the launcher on Pop!_OS 22.04 which is Ubuntu based and have no problems. However I set in the launcher to use Vulkan instead of DirectX
