Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/issues/245

Some housekeeping first:

edge: Pulling from games-on-whales/steam
Digest: sha256:19cac4864883b1b935368ec75e47f0ba60fc28463bed4603f0439cb8ef28f924
Status: Image is up to date for ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge
ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge

I'm using the "Nvidia (Manual)" steps, with driver version 575.64 in case it's relevant

Reproduction steps:

  1. Launch Steam through moonlight to download image/configure and start container
  2. Login to Steam and download Baldur's Gate 3
  3. Attempt to run Baldur's Gate 3

Failure:
Game/Launcher doesn't open
Steam will show the application as stopped after a few seconds
Steam logs that the pid is lost without a lot of useful (to me) information

I have attempted bypassing the launcher without success. The farthest I've gotten was a black screen with the game running before it crashed. Other games seem to work fine through proton, tested with deep rock galactic and dome keeper.

Possibly worth noting that this game works with no modifications on the same hardware in a vfio vm, skipping launcher is not even required.

Adding steam-1086940.log since it seems to be relevant and contains an error message!

This turned out to be related to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5927, so not exactly a problem with games on whales. I will close this, although might be worth putting into a wiki somewhere? idk
