Yesterday, Beyond Earth started fine and played the opening animation and then got stuck on a splash screen, the music continues, but that's it, no menu. I then tried turning off the DLCs (The expanded maps one and Rising Tide) and was then able to play for several hours.
When I tried playing again today it won't launch at all. The Steam "Play" button turns back to "Play" a few seconds after pressing it. No windows launch or anything.
Similar with Civ6. Yesterday it launched but then froze at a black screen saying "Loading, Please Wait" but never seemed to load. Today it's the same as BE, no windows launch, nothing, just the Play turning green again.
I'm on Linux Mint 21.2. I've tried launching the games regular (the Linux version) and through Proton. I've also tried the Runtime thing but that didn't change anything.
I just reinstalled both games, have verified the installs, rebooted the laptop. No change.
There's lots of threads, but I can't actually find any solutions.

Any advice?
While I'm on Mint 21.2, I'm running an upgraded kernel (6.5.9) and Mesa from Kisak's PPA. You can see my hardware under my avatar.
I don't own Beyond Earth so can't test that one.

It has been a while since I played BE, but it and Civ 5 both had library problems (not the same library, weirdly enough). For BE, it is libtbb.so.2; I don't remember if I had this problem, or if I had an easier solution, but one source that is generally trustworthy (and uncluttered by people's personal reports and questions) is the arch wiki (don't mind that it is for Arch Linux, it is just a good source generally, and in this case if the game didn't work for you this solution should do).
Both games do work, and I have played them a lot on Linux; but they do require some extra steps (for Civ 6 it is particularly annoying because it didn't before...).
P.S.: the fact you were able to play BE and it stopped working is particularly weird, but since it is no longer working do try the general fix; if it doesn't work, then gotta debug more. Also, if a game doesn't work on Linux, trying the Windows version with Proton is worth a shot; sometimes the port is old, and Proton is more up to date, for example.
