Hi All,

Been bashing my head against this one, rebuild my OS yesterday, running linux mint and reinstalled steam, but can't get anything to run on a proton version higher than 5 - i'm sure i'm missing something but don't know what.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64 Kernel: 6.2.0-31-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 5500/5500M

Ok so I've fixed it, appears to have been an issue with the tool having come from my backup rather than installed directly.

couldn't uninstall due to "missing shared content" so i deleted the file and verified integrity so it downloaded them - everything is now running perfectly, tried a few different games and they are working great.

cheers for all the help!

but that's awesome you figured it out and shared the solution here. There's nothing about this out there that is searchable. Thanks for the learning lesson!

I just started a foray into Linux gaming with Mint, as well, and had similar problems. I'll be looking back at this to see if I can get it working.
