Just wondering the best method here. Searching doesn’t always get me the answer for every game, and I keep having this issue where I launch a game and it will load then stop without ever displaying anything (liminal core and assetto corsa are 2 examples). Running mint, all AMD. protonge, wine tricks, all of that needed stuff is installed. I run steam from terminal to try and see if I can figure out where it’s crashing, but I’m not totally sure. Is there a better error dump I can access ? I’ve tried multiple proton versions, do I need to launch it with all 50 versions to find a working one?

    ProtonDB. If there’s nothing there, then I resort to running Steam in the terminal to see logs.

      I start a script instead of the Steam binary directly.

      #!/bin/bash
exec steam "$@" >~/.steamlog -console -nobigpicture -nochatui -nofriendsui -silent 2>&1 &

      That way, I’ve always got a log of terminal output in a file in my home directory, and don’t need to go restarting Steam, just glancing at the file. Gets overwritten the next time I start Steam.

        Does this have different output to the journald logs? journalctl -fex -u steam usually has what I need.

        I’m going to have to try this out, thanks!
