Among Us doesn't start

[biseybulamadim]

I freshly installed mint for the first time I have hp pavilion dm4. It has this integrated graphics by intel. I don't know if I need drivers for that but it already uses some driver, I think.

What I did? I just downloaded Steam, I have the game. I download. I did try with steam runtime, then proton. It didn't work. When I click play, it seems like its gonna work but no. Then nothing happens. Play button comes back as if I didn't click. Let me say that its a very low graphics game even some 90s pc probably run that.

And also, it works in my another linux pc. Without any tweak. Please help.

And wine doesn't work as intended in linux mint. In my other linux pc, I just install it, click on an exe, instant work no hassle. Did I download wrong wine?

A laptop from that era may be unable to meet your gaming expectations. Regardless, someone would need to see the details of your system to make informed suggestions. Post the output of inxi -Fxxxrz between [code][/code] tags so that people can see what you're working with.

I did try with steam runtime, then proton.

1. Are you sure it is done ?
Steam Settings --> Steam Play --> Enable Steam Steam Play for all ...

More about Proton there https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues

List games working with Proton and hardware.
There you are valuable tips (from users) if the game doesn't work or needs add options.

2. Check command in terminal

Code: Select all

 glxinfo | grep rendering

Output should looks

$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
...

2. Wine is a different story, it requires some knowledge of Linux.

You add on your own responsibility.
You have to take into account possible problems with the system repository.
New script useful too, for download new "direct", but i don't remember the name

Can you play among us now? I don't understand why this game doesn't run on my computer but everything is fine on my phone. What could be the reason? All other games load on my computer, so the problem is definitely not related to the computer. Maybe I should reinstall the game? By the way, my girlfriend and I met even thanks to this game. So I want to give her among us plushie for Christmas. I think this is a very nice gift that she will definitely like.

At a guess your phone runs either android or ios and the game is available for these platforms.
If your computer is running linux then that may be the issue; among us is (as far as I know) not available to run natively within linux, however there are workarounds such as installing wine, using a windows/android VM or using lutris in order to play the windows version (as to how you go about doing that I don't know as I made a clean break from windows programs some time ago).

tl:dr
among us isn't on linux.

People there suggest that you add these to launch options, it could help.

"PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%"

Also, try using the different proton versions to see which works
