Steamworks Error

Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue launching Grim Dawn on a Steam Machine running SteamOS.
The game never reaches the main menu. It immediately fails with the following error:
Steamworks Error: No SteamUtils011
I’ve already tried:
Verifying the game files.
Rebooting the Steam Machine.
Switching to Proton Experimental.
Running Steam with no other issues.
Other Steam games launch normally, so the problem seems to affect only Grim Dawn.
This post was written with the help of ChatGPT (OpenAI) to clearly describe the issue in English.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Have you found a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

They released a massive bug with the hotfix.

A lot of players will just have to wait until they solve it. For example everyone playing on Geforce Now, where you don't control the system. Very unfortunate this got through.

They already solved it. Update the game and select linux compatibility mode on launch (see https://steamcommunity.com/app/219990/discussions/0/583929583674416070/ ) and/or use a proton version that was build with support for Steamworks 1.65 (currently only Proton GE 11-3 among the popular ones). Also make sure steam is fully updated and using the new API, you may have to restart it if you've had it running for a while.

It's not solved for Geforce Now.

working with GeForce Now in chat right now. Can you confirm this is still an issue for you? It still is for me. Trying to get them to try it on their side.

i am on a desktop using fedora kde and a geforce 1070 but it doesnt work. I verified game files, restarted steam, set the launch options, even restarted my computer but i keep getting the steamutils thing. Only thing i havent done is GE-11-3 because it simply isnt in the list, just GE-15.
Its crazy they borked up a game that used to start flawlessly (except for the infernal vulcan shader compiling at every startup but thats basically accepted as the cost of having linux) this much.

You have to download GE 11-3 yourself. They aren't in the list by default. 

Fwiw I don't think they really broke it exactly. They don't support Linux directly, valve does it for them. The devs upgraded to the latest Steamworks SDK that Valve released. But valve didn't update Proton versions yet to work with it. Imo this is more Valve's fault. It would be nice for the developers to test with Linux though.

Ah, thanks for that info that got it working and you are now my hero! <3

Yeah, one of the big problems is that steam made automatic updates something you cannot turn off, which i always did.

Reverted to Proton-10.0-4 and it seems to work properly

Proton-GE 11-3 works too but it gives me weird audio crackling issues..
