I just installed Steam on Ubuntu, but I've run into some issues. I can only launch Steam from the terminal because it crashes otherwise. When I try to run games like The Binding of Isaac and Elden Ring using Proton, they crash at startup. I get an error about a certain file not being preloaded due to a wrong ELF class. Initially, I tried running the games from an external SSD where I have them installed for Windows, but then I downloaded them directly to my Linux drive and still faced the same problem. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

It sounds like you're dealing with an issue related to how your games are being run on Linux. The error indicates a conflict with the architecture of the game files. Since you're on an AMD processor and using Ubuntu 22.04, you might want to check if you're using the 64-bit versions of the games. Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date; sometimes gaming on Linux can get tricky with compatibility. Let us know if that helps!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check the driver version and the game architectures. Appreciate the help!
