Lol, the game is actually pretty snappy with a light mod list (Harmony, base game, official expansions + whatever I'm working on), I think my load times are only a couple of seconds. Plus steam will send out the "Alias is playing RimWorld message" as soon as the game is launched, regardless of whether the game fully loads or not.

I'm not a big fish, but I've been around a long time. Most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I maintain a handful of mods, but the biggest/ most notable are probably Setup Camp, Camping Stuff, and Doormats. If you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub

Not op, but mine is

• check protondb, try the last few recommended versions
• search web for "game name + linux" or your distro
• ask for help on relevant discords for either your game or your distro
• NEVER trust any ai answers.

So far that has covered the problems i ran into, but maybe someone has something to add?

Easy routine:

• Try a few different versions of Proton using force compatibility in game properties
• Turn off/on Steam Input
• Update Steam and my computer (or just restart if there's no updates)
• Check ProtonDB for any launch options. Try a few of them

Medium routine:

• Check if anyone has mentioned anything on Reddit or Steam Community. Try their fixes which usually involves more launch options and/or config file changes
• Try Proton GE (this is only so low because I usually don't have it installed and updated)
• Update graphics drivers
• Downgrade graphics drivers
• Try a different device

Last resort:

• Try Lutris or WineTricks with DLL override tricks
• Launch Steam using the terminal and actually debug the problem

Honestly I find that success rate is inversely proportional to amount of effort invested… so I just do the easy ones and give up if that doesn't work lol. 90% of the time it ends up working though from one of those easy things. But if you're truly desperate for a game to work and can't wait for Proton to fix it, the medium and hard options exist

Switch to experimental, switch to proton Glorious Eggroll, check protondb, set proton_log and look at log files.

Not OP but first I check protondb to see if anyone else has the same problem, then I try swapping proton versions if noone else has the same problem.

Worst case scenario it's my nvidia GPU drivers doing stupid shit, then I try updating my drivers or giving up and playing rimworld instead.

Most of the time just checking protondb works though.

I hate that I even know what you're talking about. May this upvote be mentally cleansing for us both.

I don't play many UE5 games, never had problems with Pseudoregalia or Outpost Infinity Siege, the latter being really heavy on resources.

I also thought Palworld was still on UE4? What's the fix
