As a mod dev, this is why I set my steam to invisible...
Me playing my heavily modded SkyrimVR that starts crashing every 5 minutes once I get too far into a save
I make mods for RimWorld and my poor friends get subjected to this all the time (I'm really bad about remembering to set myself as offline and my friends find it more amusing than anything else) because the fastest way to test my code is usually just to close the game, and reopen it.
What mods do you make?
My brother unfriended me over trying to play with mods. 🤣
Is there a goddamn setting t9 disable the notifications? I looked briefly once and didn't notice one besides just going offline.
Id love it if I didn't get put online by default every time I open steam...
I've been invisible for months
Meanwhile, in Factorio:

Linux gamers too. Sometimes I come across a game like Assetto Corsa that launches for 0.1 seconds and then crashes, so I'm trying the routine list of low hanging fruit easy fixes in the hopes that one of them does the trick
Relatively new still to Linux gaming, what does your routine list look like?
Not op, but mine is
So far that has covered the problems i ran into, but maybe someone has something to add?
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.
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

Happens to me sometimes with Palworld. Playing nice, suddenly a crash. Restart, crash after loading the save. Restart again, freezes while loading. Restart PC, boot game, crash after loading. Restore older save file, crash.
Just palworld or UE5 games in general? Because I found a fix for that but it's terrible and I hate it.
Most UE5 games run like crap but they are not very prone to crashing in my experience.
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
The fix is so terrible that it comes with a warning only to do it if you're absolutely sure you understand what you're doing, along with the warning that I only know for certain that it works on a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU - it may work for other CPUs but I have no way to test that. It's a fix I saw posted and ignored because, as the admin replied before locking said thread, it's dangerous and there's no reason it would actually work, but eventually independently found myself at: overvolt your CPU. Very carefully, just by a little bit. I don't understand why it works, just that it fixed the regular crashes I had in Clair Obscur, Helldivers, and Palworld, and some of the crashes in Romeo Is A Dead Man (the latter also has other crashes related to the GPU). By all rights it shouldn't work and suggests some very weird behaviour from UE5, but somehow it did. It comes with the side effects of needing really good cooling and potentially shortening the CPU's lifespan, so it's imperative you look for alternative solutions that aren't stupid and dangerous first.
Is the fix uninstalling the game?
I did have to verify integrity of the game more than once, so kinda like reinstalling rather than uninstalling
Each time having turned off one more mod to see if that’s the problem.
