Hello ! I tried much time to start Left 4 dead 2 but he dont work. I am to SteamOS 3.2 I installed to my pc desktop.

Try opening Left 4 Dead 2 through the terminal, there are various ways but the easiest is to just write steam in the terminal and launch it like normal. When you have tried that, just paste everything from the terminal into here.

So, 2 possible solutions

Have you installed the proper drivers for your Graphics Card? (This is especially important for NVIDIA users)

And if you did/already did and it doesn't work, try clearing any launch options if you have any and put -vulkan into your launch options if your GPU is Vulkan compatible, which, most "gaming" GPU's are.

I puted -vulkan and dont work. I have nvidia driver 515.57. Dota 2,Street fighter V, and other game work but dont L4D2.

[ptibedo]

I found the problem. I have installed lib32-nvidia-utils and work now. You must put this packages from SteamOS-holoIso.

Oh ok, cool. Maybe SteamOS 3.0 doesn't have it preinstalled then because it's normally supposed to run on AMD hardware.

[ptibedo]

Yes. for some time SteamOS Holo supports nvidia series 9 cards.

Hello @ptibedo, the missing video driver support should be reported and evaluated by the package maintainer of the third party fork of SteamOS.

Closing because this is a system config issue instead of a game issue.
