Segfault in Paradox Launcher [Linux]

[Friedrich Nietzsche]

Greetings,

I'm a Arch Linux user and I am currently not able to start the Paradox Launcher of Imperator: Rome. When starting it I can see following error message in dmesg:

Paradox Launche[3020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007f88b572edc4 sp 00007ffe768b6aa8 error 4 in libpthread-2.30.so[7f88b572a000+10000]

Anyone knows about this problem? Or even a solution?

Thank you!

Does this help?

Sorry for the late reply, I had a super busy week.
Yes, this helped. To be exact: It was the missing steam_appid.txt file as mentioned here:
Edit: Apparently I am not allowed to link postings. The solution is in the thread linked by AndrewT comment #6

Ok, it didn't solve it fully. Adding the steam_appid.txt solves it only when running the launcher directly. When I try to start it from the Steam library directly I still get the segfault

So no further suggestions? Can I at least somehow submit information/ a bug report to get it fixed?

 

[AndrewT]

Did the launch in post #12 of that thread not help with that? It should have.

And yes, you have access to the Bug Reports forum just like you do this one.

Sorry, my bad. Comment #12 was the answer. Thank you very much.

Hope my solution might be useful.
My system is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Symptoms:
* Game does not launch from Steam
* Can be launched from console as suggested above

Solution that worked:
1. Open game properties
2. Choose option [Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool] and choose Proton 4.11-7
Steam downloads necessary components and works fine.
