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 23.3~git2308230600.fbf3f6~oibaf~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.
If you add --skiplauncher to the launch options it skips the launcher and boots straight to the game. That might solve your problem.
so it turns out that no games run on steam! The only thing I can get to work is minecraft at the moment, and that doesn't use steam!
99% of the time, that means SteamOS is getting sleeby and needs a reboot. (Some component of wine or something is not very good at cleaning up itself. You could try to chase it down, but trust me just rebooting is easier. Welcome to Linux.)
