I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn’t launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I’m new to Linux gaming so I’m not sure what to do.

I have Intel i9 11th generation CPU, Nvidia 1650 GPU and 16GB RAM.

Fix: I installed lib32-nvidia-utils. Now I can run native version of Portal and Windows version of Borderlands 2 with Proton 7.0-6 (haven’t tried other versions of Proton).

    maybe add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to launch option to enable log? Try launching the game again, and see if anything weird logged on steam-xxxxx.log file in your home directory.

    Also, might want to try using proton-ge in case it works: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

      There is nothing in Borderlands 2 that requires proton-ge. Using default native should absolutely work, and so should proton for the Windows version. His system is fucked up somehow.
