I’m trying to play DOOM: The Dark Ages on my custom Ubuntu PC, but it’s been a struggle. The game boots up just fine through Steam, goes through the developer logos, but when I hit ‘Press [spacebar] to Start’, nothing happens. I’ve tried verifying the game files, switching Proton versions, and even upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04, but I’m stuck. I’ve got an AMD Radeon graphics card and honestly, all the technical jargon just flies over my head. I’m really keen to play this game because it looks awesome, so I’d appreciate any help that doesn’t require a tech degree!
