RS3 does not launch on X11 or Wayland

Open AckM3 opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

This is a recent issue as it used to launch correctly for me. I have an NVIDIA GPU and mainly use X11, I am on a updated version of Arch with the latest propitiatory NVIDIA drivers.

I also have tried a launch option that another user has suggested here: /usr/bin/env SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%.

This however did not fix the launch issue for me.

No RS3 window pops up after hitting play, and the terminal bellow seems to hang on "Loggin in..." and does not progress.

The issue persists on both the Flatpak and the AUR version of the package, across multiple DE's and protocols. I so far have tested Cinnamon with X11/Wayland, Gnome withWayland, and KDE with X11/Wayland.

I'd be happy to provide a log but am not sure where they are stored.

If you run bolt in a terminal does it print anything useful when trying to launch RS3?
