Steam store doesn't load
I'm running Wine Steam on Lutris on Ubuntu 20.04. When I open the store it doesn't load any pages except for the Downloads page. I already tried downloading msttcorefonts and adding the -no-cef-sandbox argument and neither of those things worked.
Also I tried just launching my game directly from Lutris but when I do it the framerate dramatically drops. It doesn't do that when I open it from the Wine Steam runner, which I know because since the downloads page still works I can open my game from there, but that means I have to delete Wine Steam and install it back again so I can delete the game and install it back again.

Sounds like https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44985
You can disable hardware acceleration in the Steam settings -> Interface
(or disable a dll but unchecking a box is easier I think)

Re: Steam store doesn't load
I messed around with the Interface settings and it seems to have worked but now I have an entirely different problem because it won't let me install the one game I wanna play because it displays the sign that it's only available for Windows (all other games where that's also the case are open to installing)spoon0042 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 3:51 pm Sounds like https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44985

If you are trying to run a Steam game - surely you are better off using the native Linux Steam Client and Valve's Proton Compatibility Layer (which has been built into the native Linux Steam Client for over 2 years now).
I generally do all my gaming - using the Proton-GE variant of the Proton Compatibility layer - alongside the native Linux Steam Client.
The Windows Steam Client doesn't run well under Wine at all - if at all - and hasn't for months now.

Re: Steam store doesn't load
Valve's Compatibility Layer is far from working on all games so far - they officially tested and greenlit mostly major titles, the rest varies from running poorly to not at all. The one I wanted to play happens to be the latter.Bob Wya wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 8:02 am @nucleartuna

I already solved the problem on this thread mostly, if I can't solve the new one that came up I'll eventually have to bite the bullet and start dual-booting, but my current SSD doesn't have enough space for both 2 SO's and all my data.

Have you tried Proton-GE ?
This aims to have wider compatibility than stock Proton.
We can't really help much more - without knowing:
- Whether your graphics card supports Vulkan (which is pretty much vital for gaming performance)...
E.g. by getting the output from:Code: Select all
inxi -C -G
- What Steam game(s) you're struggling to play...
Thanks

I entered the command you mentioned but I don't know how to interpret the output, here's what came out:Bob Wya wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:44 amI'm aware that Proton is not a magic bullet...nucleartuna wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 4:22 pm ...

I also suspect that regardless of that the problem with what I was trying was that the game was for some reason still on my computer from when I tried the Linux Steam Client even though I had deleted it, because when I downloaded it again it didn't require me to reinstall the game, so even if that stops working for some reason I think I'll know how to fix it now.
Thank you so much!!!
