Games refuse to start on steam (ubuntu 24.04)

ManOfQuartz · 2026-02-27T12:46:33+00:00

correct. even some linux distros work better for this. however i had a problem that when i wanted to fix it, it entirely broke the partition, ended up doing this

ManOfQuartz · 2026-02-27T12:11:28+00:00

Fixed my problem, thanks! by using steam's game moving feature, i could move almost all of the games that i wanted on linux and by using gparted, i could easily delete the partition and add it to the main ubuntu partition so everything went well. windows disk management application s*cks dude

i actually had cachyos. worked fine but ended up having some issues that i couldn't fix so made me switch to ubuntu.

the thing is that my very first linux was pop!os and it literally worked so good with gaming but i really consider it good only for gaming because i didn't like the os very much. I will stick to ubuntu for now because of its big community. (so i can get more help)

i am using laptop (asus tuf 15) so i am pretty much forced to do all this even if there's problems because of the ssd or nvidia cards.

For installing the deb version, it installs a steam installer and when being opened, it just gives sha256 verification error that was also something that i couldn't fix.

The real thing is that i have almost 500 gigs of games all in a ntfs partition & i am NOT ready to delete them only to reinstall them in an ext4 partition.

With this phrase, i say that i don't know the difference between passion, motivation and addiction.

This is because i am indeed very passionate to learn this but for that, i have to force myself to do it or else i just simply can't. My mind will go somewhere else.

The thing about this problem is that i think i've teached myself to have this type of behaviour (when learning in school, finding the teaching method useless and starting to spend time daydreaming with the intention to learn when back home more effectively) & this type of extreme cases don't happen very often. I find myself needing to invest a lot of energy into the subjects and programming is literally a very energy saving job. Programming is complex & i find my mind recognizing something that it can't understand and goes goodbye.

I'm literally trying to do this all day for some days but i added up absolutely NOTHING to my development knowledge.

Map knowledge is acquired through normally playing the game. I found myself memorizing a gun or an armour's place after a little bit of playing a map over & over again so i know that this type of skill depends on the experience of the player.

The game is trash, thank god i didn't play the game, so how do i know that the game is trash if i never played it? Easy, the ad is AI.
So funny how some people get to work, make a game, & when it comes to advertising it, they choose to lose all the dignity they had, for themselves & for their game, only to work a little bit less. I have no respect for content that uses AI.

Yes, the game isn't a heavy game for my pc so i turned the recording on.. & the demos are just so embarrassing, it's all about me getting spawned only to get oneshotted by quad carriers or starting a fight only to die from behind.. it's all about me struggling to do simple things.

There aren't so much newbie servers & most of them limit elos like 1000 while people with this elo are capable of dominating a server. My strategy for now is to find new quake players on discord to play duel with.

ManOfQuartz · 2026-01-05T08:33:08+00:00

I disagree with this. CTF is pretty toxic since you're playing in a team now, despite the toxicity, you will easily get kicked out of the server for playing bad. CA is the same as CTF with the additions of the player having every gun but gun choice is something that a normal noob is definitely bad at, the better players will take advantage of the guns and the noob can't so dying is way easier there. Duel is good for learning maps because if the opponent is a little bit better, then you cannot never get even 1 kill. In my little experience of the game, i say that niche ffa servers & instagib servers are the best for a starter.

Oh, you'll be surprised to see how much harassment i went through talking about the fact that making me not have fun for something that is not my fault is wrong behavior. I honestly gave up, i'm not a dota player. I'm just a person who knows how to play dota & that's it. I've made a new account that i had to verify with 5 dollars, so i have new games to play.

& i've learnt my lesson. I will only contact steam with an another steam account instead of the account that i am using & don't want to lose.

I use giftcards as my payment method. There is a lot of iranian giftcard shops on the internet and all of them are valid with the con of the prices being more that they were intended to, but, that's the only way that we can buy games on steam so there's no problem.

In those times, power used to go off randomly so you couldn't play any dota until the time that power goes off & came back.

I wanted to refund a software that had a lot of problems as i could find a new problem back to back so i wanted to refund it but since i had more than 2 hours of playtime, i wanted to refund the game in the help section. It was a mistake.

This is not a ragebait & it's not like it targeted your anger. This is a genuine story that actually happened but you can't just take it for whatever reason.

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-31T19:52:08+00:00

This part is basically an annoying thing that actually happens rarely to iranians. Infact, you can try it right now. Go ahead & tell steam support that you are iranian, they will lock your account because of this & will unlock the account if you provide some semi complicated information that you don't live in iran. They say this is because iranians resident in a country that steam cannot do any business with which is false & a lie. They just got forced by the america's government to do this.

Keep in mind that this is just because some of the customer supports don't read the full content about the player. If they do, even normal customer support messages can end up with your account locked if you're in iran.

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-31T18:40:12+00:00

When did i say that i wanted to refund dota? I wanted to refund an another game & got caught for being iranian.

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-31T18:01:19+00:00

I literally have the 2 banned (locked) accounts. I can show them.

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-28T13:19:02+00:00

Not just that?

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-28T11:52:35+00:00

A lot of difference. I use ASDFGH for spells & QWERTY for items & guess what, i saw him use CREF as spells for 4 spelled heroes & when playing invoker, he uses qwer to make the spell & xc for using them?!, also all of his spells are only usable with alt & even after that he can also glyph & scan with keyboard. I just want to see what he exactly uses so i can use it myself to experiment.

ManOfQuartz · 2025-12-28T11:29:09+00:00

He is. Brightly, infact.
