I just fresh installed Opensuse Tumbleweed. Set it up correctly…drivers/codecs everything…But when i run via steam world of tanks launcher it starts loading, then it quits…i know that game should work, but i am out of ideas what to do…vulkan,proton,wine,nvidia drivers are installed. I am on wayland session…so no ideas…i will be happy if anyone had/has that problem too…or someone who know exactly whats going on here…cheers.BTW distro is top notch.
Hiya. At the moment Nvidia drivers on tumbleweed are broken as of 20260428 snapshot. A lot of people are affected by it and fix is being worked on. For time being you can mitigate it by replacing kernel-default with kernel-longterm and installing corresponding G06 or G07 KMP package that ends with signed-kmp-longterm.
Do you have the matching 32bit packages for the Nvidia drivers installed? Without 32bit drivers, some games close silently with Steam/Proton after start as they need 32bit.
An example of Nvidia packages with matching 32bitdrivers.

Uf i rather wait…i am not that experienced yet here…but good to know,whats happening
dont know much about suse yet so basically i need drawn guide to make things work…
nvidia-settings and nvidia-libXNVCtrl are of wrong version but other than that rest are good. Version mismatch like that might cause problems. Run sudo zypper in nvidia-settings-580.159.03-56.3 nvidia-libXNVCtrl-580.159.03-56.3 to install correct versions. And I see you’re running proprietary flavor of 580.159.03 Nvidia driver. I’ve tested it on my PC recently and I got a black screen at boot. Broken for me but your mileage may vary.
One thing to check is SELinux related package.

What does zypper se -si nvidia say now?
Looks good to me. If you’ll still have issues then it might be something else, like selinux as mentioned early. If none of things you try help it might have something to do with faulty Nvidia driver.
i get it…ill try to even switch to x11 session…first to see if that helps, but thanks for advice guys…this is a last drop needed for full happiness:D

found a solution…drivers and all is good it isnt them… sudo getenforce gave output Enforcing… so i changed that into permissive…
sudo nano /etc/selinux/config
and changed SELINUX=enforcing to =permissive XD and game works…even better is to disable it it wont write logs…
Selinux is a security feature that prevents programs from doing anything they want to your PC, somewhat similar to an antivirus but not really. I wouldn’t recommend outright disabling it. Probably you needed to relabel your /home directory with sudo restorecon -FR /home and maybe some system folders like /etc, /usr and /var.

@Matthias45 It’s a stop gap, you should likely raise a bug report for it to be fixed. There are links in the side panel to the SELinux portal and Bugzilla for the steps to take…

i red about it…you are right, but if enforced=game dosent work if permissive logs are cramming my space, so i disabled it…
please if you possibly can report it i am a total newbie on this kind of stuff…(dont laugh) If you are willing to report that instead i will be gratefull…it isnt a bug so to say just predefined policy i think…
@Matthias45 Yes, the bug report will get the policy updated…
See https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:SELinux and the “Report a SELinux bug” section. Just collect the data and create, it’s not that bad?
Just post the bug report link here for others to see if they get the same sort of issue.
