Hi everyone,
I’m trying to play Elden Ring, which is suppose to launch quite well with Steam Proton, but cannot manage to even launch it in the slightest. Whenever I hit launch (I tried with different Proton config : experimental, EG, etc.) the game goes back to the green ‘Play’ button in a second. Other Proton games I play do fine but, not Elden Ring.
So I tried launching Steam with the console to try get a clue on what’s going wrong, and here is what I get :

What can I get from this ? I’m not sure. The game is not installed on my main drive, maybe it is the problem ? Although other games work on this drive, but maybe that doing that and Wine is causing problems ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Are you running EOS? I see a bunch of references to ubuntu
See here:
https://www.protondb.com/app/1245620#3gNyhdlkBh
@chikenf00t it’s Steam’s runtime, it has some Ubuntu files in order to get more “uniform” results across different distros.

I’m curious, last users seems to all say the game is launching like a charm, but I cannot grasp what is the problem here. 
Add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to launch parameters of the game.
It will create the log file in your home directory.
Post the file here.

Not necessary.
I played the game just fine without any launch parameters. All of my other friends who are also on linux have played the game without any launch parameters as well.

That can’t be the entire log file.
Did you cut something out? Log file is usually pretty long.

Ah well, I think not, it seems to be all there is to it. I tried deleting it to re-do a new log but it stays the same.
Maybe there is something I did wrong, but that should be the log I get from PROTON_LOG=1 %command%.
