I did a fresh install of EndeavourOS and installed steam after installing the 390xx nvidia drivers but it won’t open.

Does it work with the nouveau drivers? All the issues I have found that are similar to yours are related to nvidia drivers ---

Which game? Is it using Proton or running natively? If its using proton have you checked protondb to see how well the game runs or if there are any workarounds needed to run it? ---

Ok after looking up that game and accidently mistyping it the first time it looks like you may need to do a workaround. There are only 3 reports on that game, in the first they have used proton-ge, in the 2nd they had to install gstreamer bad plugins. And the last report they needed to use proton experimental.

I see, I’ll try running it on protonge and experimental once my internet decides to work. Thank you! ---

You’re welcome, I always check out there and Lutris to see how a game will run.
