Steam for Linux

Proton Crash Makes PC Sleep
I have had the same bug with multiple games that use Proton. Atomic Heart, Ark, Dune: Spice Wars, and StarCraft II when I run it with Proton. They all have exactly the same bug, which means that it must be Proton related. This doesn’t happen with any Linux native games.

The bug is as follows:

I start the game. The loading screen appears. The menus appear. I press “start” on one of these games, and as the gameplay starts my screen goes black and my computer enters sleep mode. I can’t open a terminal or use my keyboard after this happens. I can’t restart the computer using the restart button either. I have to turn the power supply off and on to make the computer restart.

I am including my system specifications and my Proton Logs for Dune: Spice Wars.

Steam-1605220.log:

first 15 lines of log file:
====================== Proton: 1705700124 proton-8.0-5c SteamGameId: 1605220 Command: ['/media/user/Games/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/D4X/D4X.exe'] Options: {'forcelgadd'} depot: 0.20240618.92328 pressure-vessel: 0.20240610.0 scout scripts: 0.20240610.0 sniper: 0.20240618.92328 sniper 0.20240618.92328 Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-39-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul 5 21:49:14 UTC 2024 x86_64 Language: LC_ALL None, LC_MESSAGES None, LC_CTYPE None Effective WINEDEBUG: +timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+unwind,+threadname,+debugstr,+loaddll,+mscoree ====================== fsync: up and running. wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely

It complains about how it can’t find “plug-in” 24 times in the log file (this happens on many lines throughout the log file, not 24 lines in a row):

last few lines of log file:

GPU-Viewer specs:

Vulkan Details: apiVersion: 1.3.278 deviceName: AMD Radeon RX 580 Series (RADV POLARIS 10) driverInfo: DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV driverInfo: Mesa 24.1.3 (git-0c49f54c76) driverName: radv driverVersion: 24.1.3 Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.261 Operating System Details: Description: GNOME 46 (Flatpak runtime) Release: 46 Codename: n/a Desktop: ubuntu:GNOME Kernel: 6.8.0-39-generic Windowing System: wayland

I had the same problem on my Ubuntu 22.04 installation. This is a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation and it has exactly the same bug, so I do not think it is a case of broken packages or software somewhere on my system interfering with the normal function of Steam.

Yes. I tried using Xorg on Ubuntu 22.04 and I had the same bug.

I wouldn't know how this could create your problem, but are you running Steam inside Flatpak? You could give the "native" package a try.

No. I'm not running Steam using Flatpak. I used the .deb distributed by Valve.
