csteamnetworkingsockets_steam.cpp (39) : Assertion Failed: Don't know Steam universe. Order of init bug? | xdg-open: file 'steam://run/489830//' does not exist

After fixing the sha256sum problem with winetricks, I got Mod Organizer 2 installed and able to [somewhat reliably] run (it got more stable at finding the SteamAPI after running Skyrim once. Lots of errors when installing/uninstalling mods though.). Oh also I can't get Skyrim to run.

This is on Debian 10, Steam is installed natively a flatpak, proton dir is ~/.var/com.valvesoftware.Steam/ >_<

I can run the SkyrimSELauncher from MO2 but it acts like I've never ran it before and won't launch Skyrim. Whenever I try to run SKSE through MO2 I get this from running Lutris in debug mode:

If I copy/paste the Steam URI into Firefox though, Steam prompts me to run Skyrim.

Here's what my MO2 looks like:

And if I'm really fast I can capture this because it appears for half a second:

Likewise, Vortex behaves similarly.

I got this from Mod Organizer's debug-level logs when trying to run skse64_loader:

Fixed this by uninstalling flatpak steam: flatpak uninstall com.valvesoftware.Steam

and updating my original repo installation (Debian): sudo apt update steam-devices

then running Skyrim with Proton 5.0 once and reinstalling MO2.

Closing thread.
