I bought a Steam key for the game Hi-Fi RUSH from Fanatical today after reading numerous reviews and reports from proton.db, only to find that the game just does not launch. I press PLAY in Steam and all it does is change the PLAY button to CANCEL. I have tried forcing numerous different versions of Proton, adding -safe or -dx11 to advanced startup options, and updating all packages and the kernel, but it still does as described before.

OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64

Kernel: 5.15.0-88-generic

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (16) @ 3.400G

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Ha

Memory: 16GB

What should I try to get the game running? Are there any better places i can ask this? Any help would be appreciated.

    The game ran for me out of the box, so I’m not sure what your issue is. Have you tried different versions of Proton?

    Do you have gamemode installed?

    I just tried the latest version on my steam deck and it launches okay without overriding the proton version.

    I’d run steam in a terminal and collect the output after you press play. I’m happy to take a look if you post it here.

    Did you try changing the version of proton you run the game with? Also, other games are working fine?

    UPDATE: I ran the game through terminal as per a suggestion from lemmy.world, and it just worked for some reason, but thank you for the suggestions.
