Most games not launching
I recently switched over to Linux Mint and instaelled Heroic Games Launcher. I use it to launch my games from Epic and GOG, and everything was working fine. Games would launch, and with the exception of one having issues that have to do with the graphics card on Linux, things have worked pretty well. I made adjustments to get Star Trek Online to not be laggy, and it was great, until today. I went to play this morning and got a little more lag than normal. Went to go back to it later, and it wouldn't launch at all. It would say 'Launching' then 'Playing,' then go back to Play Now. I tested a pair of games from GOG, which had previously loaded without issue, and they have failed to launch as well. The only game I was able to get to launch so far, aas Ultima IV, which goes through DOSBox, rather than anything graphically intense. I though it might be due to an update, so I reinstalled Mint and did not update anything, and it worked for a little while, but the lag was back and worse than ever on STO. I tried again a short time later, and once again, nothing is launching.

I went with the recommended driver when I installed Mint. That's why.
I will give it a shot.
I have returned. And yes, it is now launching, and the lag has been fixed as well. Thank you for your assitance.
