Hi, I'm running EndeavourOS and I have Life is Strange on Steam, which has a native Linux version.

But it doesn't load, and I got this message when running steam on the terminal:

/home/vis4valentine/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Life Is Strange/bin/LifeIsStrange: error while loading shared libraries: libcef.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The lib files that it says are missing, are in the game folder, in a subfolder called lib/x86_64/

I don't know what can I do.

The is a script called LifeisStrange.sh tho. If that might be useful.

The game overlay stuff is all just noise, so I think it's only the last line (missing libcef.so) that's a problem. Maybe you could share the contents of the shell script, and the output of readelf -d [path to]/LifeIsStrange (i.e. the actual elf), ldd on the same elf, and see if there's a copy of libcef.so anywhere in the game files?

I'm not sure if libcef (embedded chrome) is meant to be loaded from the steam runtime, from the game files, or from the system. My guess is it can be fixed by altering LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the game's shell script.

I'm not sure how much influence you can really have there. Steam is supposed to have every dependency sorted out for you. A native linux game should have a fixed environment, it runs in a bit of a canned distro such as "Scout" (Debian 16.04 iirc).

If the Linux build is broken, you're usually best off to change it to run Proton.

Try to force Proton with different versions.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's a shame. But more often than not games with native Linux versions run better on Proton.

[–] easydnesto@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Even though it’s native I find the protondb as a good source for issue resolution. Looks like the latest entry said that the latest proton doesn’t work and they had to downgrade to 4.x. https://www.protondb.com/app/319630

Maybe you can modify LifeisStrange.sh so that the x86_64 folder is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It seems like maybe it is a 64bit binary but is pointing to the 32bit libraries.
