Hello, I’ve recently installed bazzite on my desktop pc with an AMD 7900XT. Whenever I try to run RDR2, no matter what proton version, the game boots then gets stuck loading with a little revolver icon and eventually leads to an error code 17 saying it couldn’t connect to social club. Upon looking at the logs, I see that there’s an error initializing the social club UI.
I’ve tried reinstalling the game, deleting and recreating prefixes and changing proton versions and nothing appears to work. The game runs fine in Windows but for some reason just won’t work in bazzite. I can’t really find much info either on the Internet so I’m hoping someone gets might have some ideas.
The log implies it is unable to render the web page that the launcher contains.
My suggestion for this is to:
Using Protontricks in the game prefix, install wine-internet-explorer
Verify you don’t have the game stuck behind a firewall
If you have the flatpak steam, try a native install (honestly just throwing spaghetti at the wall here)
If I can be honest though, I don’t know if it will help. I’ve seen similar issues crop up over the years with rockstar games and I’ve never seen it be resolved, only that complaints stops.
