+ Hey guys, its been several days now that Im trying to play Elder Scrolls Online through proton but im getting some issues.
I am new to linux, and that may be the major reason.
I'm running steam in a debian 9, have updated to beta version and turned on steam play settings. At the first try after downloading ESO i've tried to just click play button and it showed "running" for a brief moment and then it was gone. So i've tried to build proton myself following this instructions but ended up with an error that i couldn't solve yet. So i've tried to run it again with PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 mesa_glthread=true vblank_mode=0 launch options and no success. I don't know what to do now and thats why im posting here to see if anyone can help or knows what to do.
I appreciate any help and many thanks in advance.
You might want to post in SteamPlay
I'm not totally sure because I've never built proton
I wish there was a debug like in PlayOnLinux so we can see what is going on
Proton can produced debug logs if you turn them on:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Proton-FAQ
Check this site for compatibility and tips:
For each entry on that list, there's usually a link to the Proton issues on GitHub which sometimes has posts regarding workarounds.
Make sure you have Vulkan installed! Type vulkaninfo to confirm
Have you tried another game to confirm whether it's a problem with just ESO, or a problem with Proton in general? Bejeweled 2 Deluxe has a free trial that works well in Proton. Also try restarting the Steam client if you haven't.
What are your specs and what graphics drivers are you using?
Python 2.7 isn't needed anymore. That was fixed in Proton 3.7-5.
Then I'm not sure. You seem to have things set up correctly.
However, I'm using Xubuntu and not Debian. Valve recommends Ubuntu by the way.
Ubuntu is based on Debian. Ubuntu derives its packages from Debian Unstable.
What's your point? Ubuntu may have things that Steam Play needs and isn't installed by default.
