You might consider installing proton-ge-custom (Proton Glorious Eggroll), as an additional compatibility option, typically more cutting edge than Proton Experimental.
i installed this and proton-ge-custom tbh i did both neither worked. skyrim failed to load as well as lake. i set the compatibility in steam to proton-ge. thanks for trying to help me Bink. i really do apreciate it.
I use Proton-GE as my default, and that works well for most games. Occasionally, particularly on older games, or ones with special launchers and such, I need to work back through older versions of Proton. Generally, I’ll get success before going as far back as Proton 6.
If you’re not already, adjust the compatibility tool per-game, not in the general Steam settings (leave that one set to a version that works well for the majority of your games).
i am trying to get protonup-git in the aur as well to try that i am getting GE-Proton9-15 just to test as well. i tried all the ones you suggested all the way down to 6 with no luck. i am trying to do the different version on lake now to see if they work.
with lake if i do proton 7 it gives me this message wheni try to launch lake:
Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed
i just tried it in cinammon de with no luck idkw i thought that might help right now i am in kde wayland though… hmmm thanks so much for trying to help me, fr fr
i KNOW i have previously on different installs of this machine endeavouros lake and skyrim were both working (but like i staid different installs of endeavouros on this machine).
so i assume something is messedup due to the fact that BOTH of them were working before.
oh i KNOW mortal combat 11 never worked on this machine. which always sucked…
