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

Hadn't thought of doing it that way, looks like a permissions error (which makes little sense to me tbh

Yeah, the glaring "permissions denied" is right smack in the middle of all that. Then it just continues like that to the very end. One thing that makes no sense to me: manually changing the permissions on every single game. I'm a basic Linux boy and I do basic things, so don't do what I'd do. What I'd try doing: changing the permissions in the .steam folder to the correct permissions, applying them to all the enclosed files and folders. I'd even have the stones to do it in the graphical UI left clicking on the .steam folder out of sheer basic laziness. My solution is totally basic and dumb, because it does not foresee new games being acquired through steam, which could revert back to the erroneous permissions. I searched for the error message to see what is relevant, nobody is reporting this problem, so, you're unique. What a way to feel special, right? I'll keep looking shit up like you're doing. While we're busy with that, someone more competent will come to your rescue, for sure.

It's possible they installed with sudo or something, which ruined the permissions. First try find /home/lewis/.steam ! -user lewis. That will show if any files got owned incorrectly. If so, do chown -R lewis:lewis /home/lewis/.steam.

Not sure this is a permission/owner issue though. My guess is /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run doesn't have the executable bit. try chmod +x /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run.
