Games refusing to launch

Hey everyone, having an issue here where my game is just refusing to launch it just flashes a terminal twice and goes back to play now. It's throwing this error but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it

Ah yes sorry didnt see that just thought it wouldnt let me send

this is directed to Ubuntu but might work here: https://etbe.coker.com.au/2024/04/24/ubuntu-24-04-bubblewrap/

etbe - Russell Cokeretbe

Ubuntu 24.04 and Bubblewrap

When using Bubblewrap (the bwrap command) to create a container in Ubuntu 24.04 you can expect to get one of the following error messages: bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitt…

others have resolved their bwrap issues with this, but they were also Ubuntu users not SteamOS

nursing-lime•5/27/25, 2:57 PM

but it's worth a shot

worthy-azureOP•5/27/25, 3:23 PM

Ok cool ill look into it, appreciate your help

nursing-lime•5/27/25, 3:24 PM

np. let me know if it works. I saw someone on github was asking the same question but with Arch

then-purple•5/29/25, 9:45 PM

I have the same issue on Nobara. Any GE Proton seems to do this. I also get it with flatpak heroic.

post game logs

nursing-lime•5/29/25, 10:24 PM

and I think the issue seems to only come up with EA games

then-purple•5/30/25, 3:50 PM

Basically same as above

As per other thread (🆘-supportBattlefront 2 not opening after latest update)
CachyOS Proton with UMU disabled seems to work.
Not sure if there's any benefit to this combo instead of just using wine-ge8-26.

Wine GE is over a year old and will not be updated again. I suggest using what is newer and works until someone is able to come up with a more permanent or durable solution for EA games

then-purple•5/30/25, 5:59 PM

I literally only dealt with any of this because Heroic said similar. What works is better than what is newer.

then-purple•5/30/25, 6:01 PM

I should add that I have had 2 more crashes since the above message.

nursing-lime•5/30/25, 6:13 PM

Sure, but EA frequently breaks their launcher which gets addressed by Proton updates

worthy-azureOP•6/1/25, 10:56 AM

This was the final solution for me, disabling UMU and it runs fine with proton latest as well
