This is driving me crazy. I’m trying to run BG3 and I’m running into a variety of errors:

My step up:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3git2308230600.fbf3f6oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi RAM: 63 GB

One seems to be this for which I feel I’ve tried every googable solution:

You must install .NET to run this application.

App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche r\LariLauncher.exe Architecture: x64 App host version: 6.0.18 .NET location: Not found

Learn about runtime installation: https://aka.ms/dotnet/app-launch-failed

Another is this:

ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

But I’m not even sure what this points to now.

Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?

EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I’d heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.

    Did you enable proton? I seem to remember sometimes having to enable it for all games manually

    Minecraft runs because Minecraft is Java and runs natively

        You can actually play steam games through lutris I think, last I checked there was an option for connecting steam

        That said I think most people save for the most diehard FOSS people would probably rather use steam for steam games

        @zelifcam Steam+Proton doesn’t work out of the box for everyone. I have two laptops with different hardware/OSs, and I run into compatibility issues on one system that I don’t encounter on the other when attempting to launch the same games.

        While I do agree that Steam+Proton provides excellent support - there are cases when Lutris+Wine and Bottles run better into certain configurations.
