Steam for Linux

Launching, loading, stopping
Hello, I need some help playing BG3 on Linux/GNU.
Launching Steam in terminal and starting BG3 on the Steam GUI, I encountered the following messages.
I understand that the gameoverlayrenderer errors are ignorable, and also that the game stops loading when it prints
pid 21350 != 21349, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
Does anyone know what seems to be the problem and how to fix it?
I've tried verifying game files, deleting download caches, restarting steam client, and rebooting. All to no avail.

But is it correct that it's rejecting both 32 and 64 bit?

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

Do you have the 32 bits layer enabled/installed?

How do I check that? I've actually turned off the overlay option for the game in the steam gui.

Ah, I think this cannot be the reason. The client wouldn't be starting in the first place without 32 bit layer.

Did you take at protondb?
There's some tips over there:

One proposed to use 8.0, some other to launch with " %command% --skip-launcher".

Using 8.05 works for me. Thanks for the tip.

Do we know any way to further troubleshoot games with this problem?

I have had it before, and changing proton versions back then did work I think.

But now I'm having the problem with Aperture Desk Job which is supposed to be native. The game doesn't launch but the logs show nothing interesting but that fork without exec line. I wanted to troubleshoot this but it's hard when the logs show you nothing at all...

If you dare dig deep, you could try to start the game itself under strace. But it's often too much output.
