I just built a new PC and decided to use Linux. Initially when I built it my ssd was going to take a long time to come in, weeks after the rest of the parts. So I installed fedora onto an external SSD that I had and everything was great.

Thursday my new internal SSD came in and so I installed fedora onto it and migrated the files I wanted to keep to my new one. After installing steam I’m getting errors when it launches.

There are several versions, proton hot fix, steam, runtime 1.0 scout, runtime 2.0 soldier, runtime 3.0 sniper.

No matter which one I launch this time around I get “an error occurred while launching this game: invalid game configuration”

Usually I launch it, the icon pops up and goes away several times, I end the process, launch it again and it gives me the aforementioned error.

It didn’t do that till I installed the new SSD.

      just to make sure that you haven’t installed the steam-flatpak.

      flatpak list --all and look for steam. You might be able to grep for steam like so flatpak list --all | grep steam. If steam is not there you don’t have flatpak version of steam.

      If steam is not in the output there I would consult the Fedora documentation for how to downgrade a package and follow those steps to downgrade steam to an earlier version. If that doesn’t work.

      As I reread this thread, I must apologize, I could have done a better triage diagnosing this issue. I have been raw-dogging adhd lately and find myself a bit scattered. I really am sorry for being a bit everywhere! I do sincerely hope that downgrading steam will solve this issue. If it doesn’t I’m out of ideas.
