This is driving me crazy. I’m trying to run BG3 and I’m running into a variety of errors:
My step up:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3git2308230600.fbf3f6oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi RAM: 63 GB
One seems to be this for which I feel I’ve tried every googable solution:
You must install .NET to run this application.
App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche r\LariLauncher.exe Architecture: x64 App host version: 6.0.18 .NET location: Not found

Another is this:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
But I’m not even sure what this points to now.
Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?
EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I’d heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.
So I’ve tested it thoroughly and it turns out I can’t run any games except ones like FTL. It’s very weird and I’m exhausted by it!
We could go back and forth for weeks on here. But it sounds to me like maybe LTS Ubuntu kernel is not helping with your relatively new hardware. Maybe try a newer kernel?
I would just take a step back. Install a distro that’s a bit more tuned for newer hardware and gaming. Because people are playing everyday with hardware like yours.
People seem to like https://nobaraproject.org/ although any OS with newer kernels and packages by default will work.
At a minimum I’d at least try a distro that targets newer hardware and use case (games). Maybe it will expose the exact reason why your Ubuntu install is not working for gaming.
Let me add, you shouldn’t have to do ANYTHING to play BG3. There’s no reason to use wine or bottles or Lutris. It’s a steam game. Just press play.
I use the latest proton-GE with the launch parameters “%command% —skip-launcher”. But I’m pretty sure after I first downloaded the game it ran by simply pushing play. You set up your comparability right?
