Space Marine 2 crashes after intro cinematic

Bazzite
1

Hi, I’m new to linux and bazzite but have taken the plunge a month ago. I have just purchased and installed Space Marine 2 and am having problems trying to run it. It has installed and runs, I can access the menus and settings, but it crashes immediately after the intro cinematic, before the game starts.

I have uninstalled and re-installed it but have the same situation. I’ve run the latest bazzite updates as of today 27/March/2026.

My rig is intel ultra 7 cpu, nvidia RTX 5060 Ti, 48Gb RAM and an Alienware 34” WQHD monitor

try proton experimental or install proton-GE. Should fix any issues if your setup is correct.

I agree with trying different proton versions. It looks like you can use ProtonPlus (already installed with Bazzite) to download new proton versions. Some random, recent posts I found online say GE-Proton10-33 seems to work. But, my guess is YMMV.
