I get stuck on "Preparing to launch RIFT"
I tried with proton 5.13, 5.10, 4.11. I found https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/3108014879956241052/ But as I only have 1 graphics card (I use a laptop) I am not sure that solves my issue, or at least I couldn't understand how it does.
I'm pretty sure I had this game work using proton on an even older laptop a year ago so this is weird to me that it is happening now, but as it stands this is what I can report.
All works well out of the box with open-source nouveau drivers. My hardware is old, so the game stuttered a lot, but that is to be expected.
I have a previous report of this game being borked because it got stuck when trying to run it on "Preparing to launch RIFT" window. I am not sure if this problem was because of RIFT or Steam in general (RIFT is the only game i tried) but this problem occured when using the NVIDIA 390.141 drivers that Linux Mint recommended. Switching back to the nouveau drivers sikved this problem and the game ran as expected (though slow given my hardware and maybe the driver, not sure)
Installed but didnt work with Proton 6.3-5
Pressing Play just did "Launching" and then returned to Play without doing anything. New Launching window launched but game never did.
