I think it is some library issue (due to updated Planet Stronghold launching), i can play this games if launched outside of steam, just by double clicing .sh

If you right click on the games and select properties, do you see any difference between the paths in "Target" and "Start in" in the games that start and the games that don't? Perhaps the launcher somehow is not pointing to the start.sh of the games?

I'll check that as soon as i came back home. Although i remember trying to point to launch script in launch options and it didn't work.

I don't have "Target" and "Start in" in properties.

I've mentioned, i'm launching games from Steam.

I've had issues with Steam not launching games in the past on Tumbleweed. Are you using the Steam beta client? This seems to fix quite a few bugs for me.

I'll give it a try. I just discovered that after launching witch "STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam" some of this games launch properly, i'm not able to test them all now. And even if that "solves" the problem i would like to have it done throught game launch options insted of manualy launchig steam. If that's possible of course.

Quoting: GuestI've tried this out. You can either 1) set the launch options in the game as RENPY_PLATFORM=linux-i686 %COMMAND% or 2) set the executable command of the icon (or desktop icon or whatever you do it in KDE) as /usr/bin/env STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 /usr/bin/steam %U
Thanks! It's working now.
