Trump is also desperate to stay in power. With midterms fast approaching uncertainty of his power grows. This is a dangerous time. Trump is willing to do anything and I mean anything to stay in power. All out world war is certainty on the table.

This might just be the catalyst he wants.

I’m glad you solved it! Feels good doesnt it. I remember when I was just starting with linux and everything was new and daunting. Little by little these small victories mount into something useful.

You should share the fix so others can benefit. I’d update your original post so others don’t have to rummage through the comments.

In the steam.desktop file there is a line Exec= that points to steams executable file. The steam.desktop file likely lives in ~/.local/share/applications.

In my steam.desktop file I have many Exec= for different ways to open steam.

The first one on my machine looks like Exec=steam %U. If yours has a %U you might try removing it or adding it if your exec line is missing it. Before you go messing with anything back up your steam.desktop to something like steam.desktop.bak or something like that so you can easily revert your changes if you need.

I don’t use any ubuntu based OS’s so I cant look on my machine to make sure what your steam.desktop file will/should look like.

The other user that replied to me, I cant see his name right now as I’m on a mobile client, you might ask them how they edited their steam.desktop file. They might have a better Idea what it should look like.

If all else fails you can remove steam and then remove your steam.desktop file and reinstall steam and It should regenerate the desktop file again. Maybe in a better/newer configuration.

Wish I could be of more help but I glad that your game is at least working!

If you still need help tomorrow I can try to do some research in the morning as it’s late here now.

You didn’t get your check?

Getting some games to run can be tricky sometimes. Sometimes its just finding the right proton. Check protondb for your game. Try to find a comment with similar computer specs that you have and try their proton version and launch options.

As for the steam crashing thing, if at all possible use non flatpak/snap version. If it runs through the terminal but not from your steam.desktop launcher file you could see how the .desktop file is starting steam. Look for the line that begins with Exec if im remembering right. I think the file should be in the ~/.local/share/applications directory.

You can back up your steam.desktop file before you edit it so you can easily restore it if you mess things up.

One thing I liked the grips for was Death Stranding, pack stabilizer grips. Set them as double press to grip. Worked well.
