Summary​

The launcher won't start after a reboot on Arch Linux when trying to launch the native Linux build

Description​

So basically whenever I try to launch the native Linux build of the game through Steam, it just won't start and I get an error message saying "Couldn't start launcher". I have figured out a way of fixing it until the next time I reboot my pc. Basically I switch to Proton (any version seems to work), launch the game once (really just press play and then stop before the game/launcher even starts), I then switch back to the native build which changes the play button to update. After waiting a bit the launcher starts without any issues and the game works fine. Every time I reboot my pc it goes back to not working. As I mentioned in the summary, I am using Arch Linux. This is definitely not the worst thing to ever happen but it is frustrating to have to fix it everytime I want to play if I have turned my computer off and rebooted it. Also if this is happening for others, some people might not figure out how to fix it.

Steps to reproduce​

1. Boot up my pc
2. Start Steam
3. Start the game

It seems that ALL Paradox launchers/games have this problem right now with the native Linux version. HOI, Vicky, Stellaris -> native, the launcher crashes. EU4 -> Proton, launches ok.

@AndrewT (For Tech Support) We're not able to reproduce that issue on the supported Ubuntu distribution. Native Linux binaries + launcher works fine for us.

If you've installed Steam from Flat\pack or other such thing, instead please use the proper one:

Steam, The Ultimate Online Game Platform

Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.

store.steampowered.com

"Install Steam Now"

Does that help?
