Does the game have kenal level anticheat? Because if it does, it doesn’t matter what distro you choose, it’s the anti-cheat blocking the game from starting.

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t. The game is Crimson Desert, which is a singleplayer only game. :-/

So from two seconds of Googling, it looks to be a proton issue, which zypper dup would do nothing to change. Proton versions are controlled from within steam.

I figured it was. I also tried out the newest GE-Proton (10-33 I think?) and it also wouldn’t start the game so I gave up and went back to Windows for now.
When other newer games came out like Esoteric Ebb or the Oblivion remaster/remake, it played just fine on openSUSE. It’s just one of those pain points that will generally never go away I suppose? :-[

If individual game won’t work, it’s not a problem with the Linux distro you have chosen. First step to solving such problems is looking at ProtonDB. Crimson Desert seems to have a Gold rating, which means, it should work well, but needs some tinkering.

Crimson Desert uses Denuvo. So I wouldn’t count on it running correctly under Linux.
Maybe it will, but it’s not guaranteed.

One thing I dislike about Linux for real is that some people are saying it boots up just fine out of box, and others (like myself) can’t even get it to run at all. Ugh. Thank you for your comment though!

crimson desert runs on my Tumbleweed install with a 3060 ti using proton GE.
Consider checking any logs ‘grep “SELinux is preventing” /var/log/audit/audit.log’ and/or journalctl to see if there’s anything obviously stopping it from running. you can also try launching the game through a terminal and see if it says anything.
some random things to try: see if there’s a settings or config file you can play around with.
try some of the proton tweaks on proton.db
try both x11 and Wayland sessions.
if its not installed already you can run ‘zypper in selinux-policy-targeted-gaming’
