Haio, very new to garuda and linux in general so forgive me please. If this question is better suited for a forum on Steam please let me know, i just haven't found an answer yet. After trying a dozen different things I was finally able to get the nvidia driver installed and seemingly working.
However, now I am trying to launch Elden Ring. After I hit play it acts like its launching, says it's playing for a second, and then quits. I have Proton Experimental with bleeding edge installed, and I have tried other proton versions as well with no luck (even the custom ge one). I've seen a post of someone saying they were able to launch Elden Ring in Garuda so I know it's possible at least. Thank you for your time.
Also as a side question, when I try and launch Steam Runtime, it still says i have the native version open, was wondering what that was about.
Iāll be honest, I donāt know much about gaming but this person was able to fix a similar issue by running the command steam-runtime --reset in the terminal. Steam crashing - #24 by RodneyCK
From what I have heard this game is famously difficult to run.
Again, not my area of expertise but the 5.17 kernel is carrying a bunch of general gaming-related improvements (I think a lot of them are getting pushed to support a strong Steam Deck launch). I have heard it mentioned getting this game up will be easier on 5.17.
Read through the comments and see if you can learn more about the specific details of their setupāwhat hardware they are using, or if they have any special configuration that enabled them to play the game.
So I sort of found a fix. I renamed the eldenring.exe to start_protected_program.exe and turned the original into a backup file. The game does launch and work now, with no online play however. Seems to be an issue with EAC even though i had the proton EAC installed. Anyone who knows how to fix that would be greatly appreciated
try proton 7.01 it works there is no more need for experimental proton bleeding edge
EAC is the problem.
If u use a VPN disable it ā¦ if u start the game and it went to only black screen force closed and try again ā¦
if it goes black and then the screen go white too even for short time then wait a bit i looks good to start .
i run the Game on borderless window and i have steam overlay disable ( i read that fullscreen and steam overlay gives stutter and crashes)
but i prefere play offline with use these comandline in steam
echo āgamemoderun %command%ā | sed ās/start_protected_game.exe/eldenring.exe/ā | sh
so i donĀ“t need to rename elden ring files .
for me its ok to play offline ā¦ im also aware of online playing at the moment bec the game crash sometimes like every 2 or 3 hours ā¦ and i know from (darksouls games) that this can detect as alt+f4 an can give u a ban as cheater but i donĀ“t no how elden ring handle it so for now im ok with offline
also it gives an exploit that gives u endless death animation https://twitter.com/EldenRingUpdate/status/1504958027925008387
so for now better play offline
Elden Ring runs perfectly fine on Steam Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge... The issues were only on Day 1 but quick updates to Proton Experimental and Elden Ring resolved all of those with Easy Anti Cheat the day or two after.
Are you sure you're forcing the compatibility mode on the game from the steam library ? I've had the same behavior when running Elden Ring from Garuda, EndeavourOS, and Fedora.
You need two things and elden ring will run perfectly on steam (not native). 1. You have to use steam beta. 2. Proton experimental set in the settings for the game in steam. Right click the title in library and force experimental.
I have done all of that as already stated. Steam is in beta, I got the runtime version fixed, proton experimental enabled with bleeding edge, and the game forced to use proton. The game does not launch to any screen at all.
This is the output the terminal gives when i try to launch the game

I have found the solution! I was missing the lib32-nvidia-utils package. Hopefully this can help someone else! Also, Steam Runtime showing as native seems to be a bug with the gui, as it still opens the runtime version.
Hopefully it runs fine for you after you found that missing package. Poked around the steam forums for the game, and it looks like people have issues with the recent game patch. Somebody with pretty similar specs (that also don't meet the game's listed minimum CPU requirement [that seems too high and not exactly correct...]) said that they had the game running good before and now it won't work well or at all.
Yeah it seems to be running pretty well. Yeah my specs dont meet the minimum requirements but i've found that it has ran perfectly fine after dropping the setting down a bit. Even then, if I'm in a dungeon, i can run the game on high or max, just not in the open world.
