Steam games with linux runtimes don't work (Mint) (lemmy.ca)

Hi, I've got a weird issue and figured I'd see if anybody knows how to fix it. I've noticed that most of my steam games that have linux native support just crash immediately when I try to run them. Running with Proton works just fine, but I was wondering if my system might be missing something obvious I need to run linux native games?

The latest one I was trying to play was Pyre. I tried looking through the logs, but couldn't find anything obvious to me.

Edit: Whatever it is, it looks like its not something simple, but that is okay because everything seems to work fine with proton anyway. Thanks for the help anyway! :)

Fixed it on one buddie's computer, he installed the snap version. We fixed it by removing that one and installing Steam via apt. Which version do you have?

I installed via apt, so should be fine. Oh well!
