This is me trying to mod in linux but i set my status offline.
As a mod dev, this is why I set my steam to invisible...

As an aside… don’t mow in flip flops…
Why? /s

Yeah you gotta at least have some socks as a base layer
Not with the toe thongs pictured 😭
Toe socks.
My professor's husband lost some toes that way
I make mods for RimWorld and my poor friends get subjected to this all the time (I'm really bad about remembering to set myself as offline and my friends find it more amusing than anything else) because the fastest way to test my code is usually just to close the game, and reopen it.
My brother unfriended me over trying to play with mods. 🤣
Over RimWorld mods?! While I will acknowledge that everyone should play the vanilla game before diving into mods, RimWorld is one of the most modder friendly games I've ever seen (mod support was literally mentioned in the game's original Kickstarter).
Fallout 4
Dont worry, with rimworlds load times i bet they dont even notice.
Lol, the game is actually pretty snappy with a light mod list (Harmony, base game, official expansions + whatever I'm working on), I think my load times are only a couple of seconds. Plus steam will send out the "Alias is playing RimWorld message" as soon as the game is launched, regardless of whether the game fully loads or not.
What mods do you make?
I'm not a big fish, but I've been around a long time. Most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I maintain a handful of mods, but the biggest/ most notable are probably Setup Camp, Camping Stuff, and Doormats. If you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub
I’ll check the rest out, but I think I have the Set up Camp mod.
Thanks for your work ❤️
I appreciate you.
More likely: Erik installed some NexusMods stuff that he'd probably rather not talk about.
You did WHAT to a death claw?
I hate that I even know what you're talking about. May this upvote be mentally cleansing for us both.
Some stains can not be cleansed.

Linux gamers too. Sometimes I come across a game like Assetto Corsa that launches for 0.1 seconds and then crashes, so I'm trying the routine list of low hanging fruit easy fixes in the hopes that one of them does the trick
Relatively new still to Linux gaming, what does your routine list look like?
Not op, but mine is
- check protondb, try the last few recommended versions
- search web for "game name + linux" or your distro
- ask for help on relevant discords for either your game or your distro
- NEVER trust any ai answers.
So far that has covered the problems i ran into, but maybe someone has something to add?
Add to the list "Deactivate Steam overlay". That had fixed multiple games for me in the past.
Same here.
And if there no protondb info or it have "platinum", then start praying. Also, god forbid if you want something extra like FSR4 or install some mods. Then you mixing this things to whole "is that my hardware\software\proton issue or game genially bugged?"
One thing to add to that list:
When checking ProtonDB, cross-reference the environment variables with those listed on the proton-cachyos README. In my experience, most people are copy-pasting environment variables they read from other people without understanding what they do or even if they do anything at all.

Easy routine:
- Try a few different versions of Proton using force compatibility in game properties
- Turn off/on Steam Input
- Update Steam and my computer (or just restart if there's no updates)
- Check ProtonDB for any launch options. Try a few of them
Medium routine:
- Check if anyone has mentioned anything on Reddit or Steam Community. Try their fixes which usually involves more launch options and/or config file changes
- Try Proton GE (this is only so low because I usually don't have it installed and updated)
- Update graphics drivers
- Downgrade graphics drivers
- Try a different device
Last resort:
- Try Lutris or WineTricks with DLL override tricks
- Launch Steam using the terminal and actually debug the problem
Honestly I find that success rate is inversely proportional to amount of effort invested… so I just do the easy ones and give up if that doesn't work lol. 90% of the time it ends up working though from one of those easy things. But if you're truly desperate for a game to work and can't wait for Proton to fix it, the medium and hard options exist
in addition the stuff other people have mentioned: I've had success checking journalctl for errors, usually it will have something that's pretty actionable/searchable compared to trying different proton versions at random

"Must be heavily modding their next game"
Me playing my heavily modded SkyrimVR that starts crashing every 5 minutes once I get too far into a save
FWIW, this is a bug of some sort in Steam. My wife and I play together and I see her spam like this all the time, and her game is working perfectly.
Our setups are the same, and I apparently never spam her. The one diff is my comp is on ethernet, and hers is on wifi due to it's location.
Wonder if it has to do with connection.
That's why I always set my presence to offline. Nobody needs to know what I'm playing right this moment.

That game needed the troubleshooting to happen in development. They're probably just trying to get through Vault 22, that shit crashed constantly once you got to the lower levels. I was saving every 20 seconds.
Happens to me sometimes with Palworld. Playing nice, suddenly a crash. Restart, crash after loading the save. Restart again, freezes while loading. Restart PC, boot game, crash after loading. Restore older save file, crash.
Is there a goddamn setting t9 disable the notifications? I looked briefly once and didn't notice one besides just going offline.
Id love it if I didn't get put online by default every time I open steam...
I've been invisible for months
Each time having turned off one more mod to see if that’s the problem.
