To be clear, I'm wondering if my Bazzite version is incompatible with my GPU, and that's why Steam games aren't starting. The Unciv flatpak runs fine...

You're also on an out of date version of Bazzite with no continued support

I assume you used the torrent?

EschatonOP•6/19/25, 3:23 AM

yes

Kyle Gospo•6/19/25, 3:24 AM

In that case you just need to update

Kyle Gospo•6/19/25, 3:24 AM

You'll be put on a supported version

if I download the "desktop" edition will my GPU work with steam?

Kyle Gospo•6/19/25, 3:24 AM

That won't solve your GPU problem, but the good news is you can pick up just about any cheap GPU and outperform that one

EEschaton if I download the "desktop" edition will my GPU work with steam?
