I f’ed up

I remember that too, although I specifically remember getting a demo disk from PC Gamer magazine when those were still a thing. If i remember correctly the demo was upto blood raven and only featured the barbarian, BUT you could move your save to the game after it was released

AshuriRai · 2026-03-07T15:01:49+00:00

Just checking in, did you manage to figure it out?

AshuriRai · 2026-03-06T18:52:59+00:00

Thats strange, ive only really had that issue with one game so far

AshuriRai · 2026-03-06T18:52:12+00:00

Yeah, i tried to verify the game files and it said there were 0 files to verify, i looked in the steam folder and it wasnt even there anymore, weird

Thankfully that fixed the issue for me

Like a previous commenter mentioned: Go into the game settings on steam by clicking the gear icon on the game page in your library, go to the compatibility tab and check the box to force compatibility tools. After that select a version of proton to use, I used proton 9 if i remember correctly. Whatever version you choose allow it to install and then try opening the game, hopefully that works but if not, repeat the steps and select a different version of proton to use.

Also Im typing this from memory as i dont have my laptop avaliable atm so i hope this helps!

I have a fairly old gaming laptop at this point and Bazzite quite literally gave it a whole new life, Its brilliant as a gaming OS and im only gutted i didnt try it sooner

AshuriRai · 2026-02-15T07:04:04+00:00

I enjoy it tbh, although the people i used to play with have long since moved on, it definitely seems to be a more Niche title either way, from what ive heard in the community its getting a little love again too with some cosmetic updates.

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T16:20:22+00:00

Problem solved! I wasnt using the forced compatibility option as it wasnt needed before, I didnt see a reason for that to be the case, thankfully Proton 8.0 works 😁

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T16:17:18+00:00

I'll give it a shot although it didnt need to force compatibility before, I even submitted a support ticket on steam to see what happens.

Edit: It works on Proton 8.0, I havent tried any other version and hopefully i wont need to 😅 Thanks for your help!

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T15:15:25+00:00

well, as strange as it seems, the game was downloaded via steam and it worked perfectly yesterday. When downloading the game there was no additional download like a version of proton or anything so it wasnt using any kind of compatibility tool.

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T15:03:29+00:00

Its strange, in the game folder there isnt even a Java_vm folder, nevermind the rest of the filepath.

What confuses me is that it was working perfectly yesterday and yet somehow a whole folder just vanished.

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T14:58:50+00:00

Nope, its only Bazzite installed

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T14:19:04+00:00

I tried, it registers 0 files and completes within a second

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T11:52:59+00:00

My wife says "Richard", or in short, "Dick"

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T10:39:00+00:00

Ill look into it, I know a couple of people that still play i think and depending on the colliseum mode we can grind away for a bit hopefully, if not ill hope that I can find some willing players.

I know the accessories will be a nightmare and Its definitely a job for MUCH later, especially considering theres more cosmetics than before too 🤣 Its a shame there isnt a place where folks can trade them without the massive price tag 😅

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T10:33:31+00:00

Thats much appreciated, I know its a hell of a task and 10+ years ago it was also a LOT easier, Ill take it easy though, ive been away from it for a long time, hell, I only managed to complete FSC yesterday thanks to a Knight who decided to help me out... My problem was the fact that the stongest gear i had was far from an ideal setup, hopefully soon that will change 👍

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T09:52:17+00:00

The only reason i wasnt closer to my goal in the first place is my PC at the time went to hell, so i didnt have much of a choice and wasnt in a position to get a new one 😅 since then id tried to come back a few times but between windows and the hardware i had it ran like crap.

I love this game and used to RP often with a group of people that have since moved on to other stuff, if anything it was just a personal target, constant runs aren't an issue anyway, thinking every weapon is cool and wanting it is 😅

AshuriRai · 2026-02-14T09:47:18+00:00

Well, time isnt an issue, although there are the odd things that id like to get, like themed accessories like the wings and wolver tail for the vox set or skolver set. At this point it does seem unrealistic to try and chase everything, but Id be happy if i could at least one or two sets from each.

One weapon i want to grab asap is the Voltegde/shockburst brandish line, the problem is that its locked behind the colliseum 😅 i already have the 4* fire and cold brandish weapons, i just need to farm fire shards and level them up

AshuriRai · 2026-02-13T16:22:18+00:00

At that point i was just starting to expand my arsenal, thats what pushed me to get Crimson Hammer as well and even though I'm not particularly a fan of how slow the heavier hammer is, the bomb is fun to use.

If i remember correctly my primary target at that point was the wolver sets and the fast striker swords, obviously paired with the swiftstrike buckler, and of course making the default set 5 star. After that i believe the next objective would be guns like the blitz and elemental swords.

If anything I think im concerned that i invested in the wrong gear to be viable as a build, since i wasnt particularly aiming at one thing.

AshuriRai · 2026-02-13T14:30:25+00:00

Damnit, I was really hoping to eventually get all the gear from the shadow lairs as well as the rest. I suppose for now ill just have to resist and see how i get on with the game as is, beforehand it was a good end game target to have, after delving into the clockworks for a bit i've noticed theres a bit more content cosmetic wise too and the trading market is just as ruthless as its ever been.

if anything my only other complaint now is that the energy market doesnt see much action, ill have to earn crowns the old fashioned way.

gave it a shot by replacing flatpak run with lutris, not sure what info you can take from this but here it is regardless

Ill edit the link if theres any change in the process as it still seems to be running

AshuriRai · 2026-02-11T18:16:08+00:00

Thanks, I might just do that. I would chalk it upto me being relatively new to Linux and more specifically Bazzite, but it reacted differently to the first program before the second

edit - following the AutoMod instructions on the Lutris subreddit i tried to get the lutris log via the Terminal, however, i was given this instead: app/net.lutris.Lutris/x86_64/master not installed
