I am on Fedora Workstation 38 on GNOME Wayland, using a cyberpower pc with an
AMD graphics card & cpu. Whenever I try to launch Team Fortress 2, it crashes
the moment the actual game’s executable is loaded (hl2_linux). The problem
doesn’t seem to be related to graphics (I already used the -soft, -safe, -sw,
-dx11, and -dx12 options, still didn’t work), especially since the game’s window
doesn’t show up. I also tried rebooting multiple times, didn’t work, same with
directly launching the game. Proton isn’t an option, because A: On my machine,
it runs at half speed for some reason, and B: Even then, TF2 doesn’t want you to
use Proton, it wants you to use the native linux version. (It doesn’t let you
join online games if you’re using proton) Also, no saying “change
hardware/distro” as the solution, please.
Launch steam through the terminal and see if it gives you any info. Mine would crash when I used voice chat. I ended up using the flatpak version.
It doesn’t give any more information than if you just launched the game executable directly. If you look at the original post’s comments, you can see that the issue has something to do with Fedora using LLVM
