Hi all,

I downloaded overwatch 2 for the first time through steam (flatpak). When I click play, it looks like its doing something for maybe 5-10 seconds, but then nothing happens and the play button reappears. Seemingly the game does not run.

Some info about my setup:

- bspwm for desktop
- nvidia 3060 Ti GPU, tried both 535 drivers and 550. I ensured to `flatpak upate` after changing drivers so that flatpak has the same ones.
- other games work. I tried Borderlands 2 as a recent example.
- kernel 6.1.121. I do have a custom config but given other games work I did not think this would be an issue
- I tried different proton versions in steam, including proton experimental and proton hotfix, and I got similar logs and results.
- I ran steam through terminal to look out for errors, but nothing interesting pops up. I attach the logs below.
- nvidia drivers are installed through flatpak correctly
- besides that, I think everything is pretty standard. amd64 desktop profile, etc.

The questions: Can I get any more detailed logs ? any suggestions how to fix it (it sounds like the game works for most everyone)? I would really appreciate any help I can get! :)

Logs when launching the game:

Update: I tried to use Battle.net with Bottles, I get the same issue. The game does not ever launch, and logs in terminal do not show any errors similar to above.

Update: I was able to resolve this by using a kernel configuration similar to the distribution kernel. Now the game works without issues.

So I suppose there must be some kernel configuration I did not enable and this game is using it. Pretty weird.
