Since a few weeks my Unity games are not working anymore on Steam (not flatpak) on Linux Mint.
I have tried Stick It to the Stickman, Olija and Dystopika. They all behave the same, with the audio starting playing fine, but still on a black screen. After that, nothing happens and even trying to switch window doesn’t work or is extremely slow, requiring a few minutes to have anything happening.
Adding the same games to another launcher (Heroic), makes them work a bit, but eventually they stop at some loading screen and remain there forever.
I am on the latest OS version, I have the latest proprietary drivers from Nvidia, I have tried switching Proton versions and my GOG Unity games all work fine on Heroic.
I don’t know if there are any logs I can submit, but I am all ears for any suggestions.
UPDATE: Solved! The problem was with the fractional scaling feature in Cinnamon. Once disabled, everything went back to work perfectly.
I have tried experimental, hotfix and running them in Heroic uses GE, which may account for the slightly better experience.
Doing a fresh install on Steam on my Ubuntu laptop runs Olija no problem. I have no dedicated graphics on that laptop so running the others is pointless.
Hmm maybe there’s something off with a recent GPU driver update? If anything, maybe try an older version of Proton, like Proton-9.0-4. That should be one of the I think there was a minor update to Proton-10.0 at least a few weeks ago, maybe it’s not playing nice with something on your system? idk
