Issue:
Most of my Steam games (both native and Proton) will not launch on Bazzite.
When I click the green play button, it loads shaders/cloud data, then immediately returns to the green play button as if nothing happened. This is an issue that cropped up today after playing some VR titles. Before today, every game in my library worked great.
Exceptions:
Baldur's Gate III and Hollow Knight: Silksong still launch normally.
Almost every other game fails with the above behavior.
System/Context
OS: Bazzite (desktop version, no Gamemode)
Steam: Up to date
Hardware: Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 9070XT, 64gb DDR5 RAM
Game Drive: 4tb WD NVME formatted to ext4 (also tested a game on my btrfs drive with no luck)
The issue began right after I installed the "WiVRn server" Flatpak via Bazaar to play SteamVR games from my Quest 2 headset.
It connected fine, but after ending my VR session, normal Steam games stopped launching. I am not sure if this is related, but it was the last thing I did before the issue appeared.
Troubleshooting Attempts
I’ve tried the following without success:
Uninstalled WiVRn
Reinstalled broken games (and to a different SSD)
Updated Bazzite and Steam
Rolled back Bazzite
Rebased Bazzite to stable build
Tried multiple Proton versions
Ran ujust-reset-steam
Error Message
After running ujust-reset-steam and attempting to launch a game, I get this error:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/run/host/usr/lib/extest/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
I’m not sure if this is related, but it seems suspicious. I found a few posts about it online, but none of the suggested fixes worked.
Has anyone seen this issue before or know how to resolve it?
I’m happy to provide logs or any other info that might help. Thanks in advance!
