I just built a new PC and decided to use Linux. Initially when I built it my ssd was going to take a long time to come in, weeks after the rest of the parts. So I installed fedora onto an external SSD that I had and everything was great.
Thursday my new internal SSD came in and so I installed fedora onto it and migrated the files I wanted to keep to my new one. After installing steam I’m getting errors when it launches.
There are several versions, proton hot fix, steam, runtime 1.0 scout, runtime 2.0 soldier, runtime 3.0 sniper.
No matter which one I launch this time around I get “an error occurred while launching this game: invalid game configuration”
Usually I launch it, the icon pops up and goes away several times, I end the process, launch it again and it gives me the aforementioned error.
It didn’t do that till I installed the new SSD.
I reinstalled steam from scratch, I just only migrated files that I was working on for other things
If you copied over your home user folder there may be some permission issues in the hidden directories where apps store their settings. If you suspect anything in your user directory might be an issue test creating and logging in with a new user account and see if everything works there.
That’s a good idea, I’ll give that a go in a bit
