I remember having some issue like that, but I’m not sure if this was the fix.

Try unchecking “Show desktop notifications when the song changes” on Spotify’s settings (right now it’s under the Display section).

The band played 2 early albums + their latest one in sequence. Listening to whole albums in one go was great for many reasons.

May be a coincidence, but it stopped launching for me too. Worked Monday and Tuesday, yesterday I didn’t try to play, today it didn’t work.

Tried:

• running “verify integrity of game files”
• forcing Proton,
• clearing shader cache
• attempted various launch options, like vulkan, fullscreen, and windowed
• update all flatpaks (since I installed steam through flatpak)
• reboot

I’m running a 6700XT and weirdly enough it pre-compiled in Linux but not in Windows.

It’s really stuttery for a while in Windows, with low GPU usage and erratic frequency, until it normalizes.

I’m getting none of that in Linux, smooth from the start in-game. Only getting some weird fps fluctuation in the start menu.
