Failed: Could not find executable to launch. #42

Closed grishatop1 closed 2 years ago

grishatop1 commented 2 years ago

Whichever game I try launching, it gives me the error in the title, along with "Try setting $STEAM_APP_DIR". I have set it to path /home/grisha/.local/share/Steam. What do I need to do to make this work? steam-tui | 0.2.1-4 from AUR

dmadisetti commented 2 years ago

This might happen for Games requiring proton or Windows games. Try pressing space once steam-tui loads to boot up steam in the background.

Alternatively try steam-run steam-tui

Let me know if this works?

As for solutions from steam-tui, I'd like suggestions- but I think steam-tui should leave an editable bash script that can be tweaked on a per system / game basis.

Well while running steam in the background, it can find the executable. But now it just says 'launching...' Also couldn't find steam-run command.. EDIT: tried CS:GO (native for linux) and Spacewar (test game on steam)

dmadisetti commented 2 years ago

Neither of em launch? Native should absolutely launch. Could be a library issue? If you have steam-run try steam-run steam-tui and that should be fine. Also, depending on your install it might be /home/grisha/.local/share/steam not /home/grisha/.local/share/Steam

can you do steam-tui 2> wtf.log otherwise?

Thanks for the star all the same :star: :tada:

Hey!! Sorry for long responses.. I did steam-tui 2> wtf.log and it wrote this

script_path - "/home/grisha/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.sh"

script_path - "/home/grisha/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.exe"

script_path - "/home/grisha/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.sh"

Then I've checked those paths and they seem to be wrong, because the real path of csgo.sh is /home/grisha/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/ (the difference is this "common" folder)

EDIT: Setting $STEAM_APP_DIR to /home/<USER>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ worked!
