Anyone else having issues launching the game on GNU/Linux?

3 months ago I could easily launch the game using Proton, now I have tried EVERYTHING but it did not work. The only way I could get something working is using Lutris, but when launching the game it complains about not being able to connect to steam. Anyone has a fix or a way to perhaps link the lutris instance to steam or something? I use endeavour os (arch based) with X11.
Solution:
i remember a guy had exactly this error and with "gtx 470" in logs instead of his actual gpu, he fixed it by reinstalling mesa (drivers) and using flatpak instead of pacman

ye means you're not using wayland could you look up loader.log file? ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/671860/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat/43ed9a4620fa486994c0b368cce73b5d/315826d981f4480aa6155e32d71b0d3b or use find ~/ -name loader.log

did you update your gpu drivers between the moment you were able to launch the game without this error and now?

check if player.log file exists, should be in /home/dainis/.wine/drive_c/users/dainis/AppData/LocalLow/BattleBitDevTeam/BattleBit if it does - drop it here
