Hey, sorry I’m kinda bad in english and in dev so I will probably be totally lost after the first answer but i’m trying to launch “Drug dealer simulator” on steam but every time I launch it the button come back to green and nothing happen

Game process removed: AppID 682990 "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\DrugDealerSimulator\DrugDealerSimulator.exe", ProcID 17900

So I tried to unistall it and it doesnt changes anything, I also tried to launch crack version of the game and it’s the same thing, nothing start
does anybody knows something about it

My bad for all the mistakes but I guess it’s a French thing to be bad in english…

I have the same issue. What Command?

It would be great if @VaseLineUx would share the fix…

But @ReliableSandwich, if you haven’t already tried it, you might install Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll) and use it to run your game.

It’s a custom version of Proton that for me, has made games playable, where Steams native versions of Proton have failed.

It seems people recommend one switch to Proton Experimental or install Proton-GE and use that.

For Proton Experimental:

  • Right click on the game while in the Steam library
  • Select Properties
  • Click on the Compatibility tab
  • Click on the check box there
  • Select Experimental

For Proton-GE:

  • Install ProtonUp-QT with yay -S protonup-qt-bin
  • Run it and wait for it a bit
  • Click on Add version
  • Click on Install. It should auto select the latest version of Proton-GE/GE-Proton for you.
  • After this, repeat the steps for selecting Proton Experimental, but instead of selecting Experimental, select GE-Proton

If just using Steam, I think it’s just simpler to install Proton-GE directly, rather than installing an installer to do the same thing.

As per Proton-GE instructions:

The recommended way to install Proton-GE on Arch Linux is through the Arch User Repository (AUR) using an AUR helper tool like yay.

  1. Open your terminal and run the command yay -S proton-ge-custom to install the proton-ge-custom package from the AUR.
  2. Follow the prompts to confirm the installation and resolve any dependencies
  3. Close the Steam client completely.
  4. Reopen the Steam client, and you should now see Proton-GE as an available compatibility tool.

I see. I personally used the method I described and it worked fine, but this method probably be easier and work better too. Thanks for the correction.
