Team Fortress 2 won't start - Lemmy.world

I am on Fedora Workstation 38 on GNOME Wayland, using a cyberpower pc with an AMD graphics card & cpu. Whenever I try to launch Team Fortress 2, it crashes the moment the actual game’s executable is loaded (hl2_linux). The problem doesn’t seem to be related to graphics (I already used the -soft, -safe, -sw, -dx11, and -dx12 options, still didn’t work), especially since the game’s window doesn’t show up. I also tried rebooting multiple times, didn’t work, same with directly launching the game. Proton isn’t an option, because A: On my machine, it runs at half speed for some reason, and B: Even then, TF2 doesn’t want you to use Proton, it wants you to use the native linux version. (It doesn’t let you join online games if you’re using proton) Also, no saying “change hardware/distro” as the solution, please.

    not sure about the problem, but I do know with my own fedora there is an issue with some audio encoding, once you fix your main issue and find the audio problem (affects voicelines and music) let me know and Ill try to find the solution again for you

      I switched to using the steam flatpak for my games, and it fixed the “not starting” issue. And yes, the voice commands aren’t working. The music is working, but no voicelines.

    Launch steam through the terminal and see if it gives you any info. Mine would crash when I used voice chat. I ended up using the flatpak version.

      It doesn’t give any more information than if you just launched the game executable directly. If you look at the original post’s comments, you can see that the issue has something to do with Fedora using LLVM

    The reason is most likely TF2 not playing nicely with wayland. I have nvidia and I needed to add this command “SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%” To be able to run it. If You can check if game runs on x11

      It was a problem with system libraries. I fixed it by switching to the steam flatpak
