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?
a possible pro-tip/what i do: organizing your library with categories matching protondb status.
I’ve categorized every game i own by either borked, bronze, gold, native, platinum, or uncategorized for games not reviewed yet. Any new game I even think about getting i check protondb first. (Though now I try not to buy from steam and just go to DRM-free stores like GOG and Epic through Heroic.)
This way you have a general idea of which games might give you trouble when you go to try to play them, and how much tinkering you might have to get into.
You can also then target just uncategorized games if you wanna contribute to protondb with your own experiences and observations.
