sorry for taking up space on the forums the problem has been resolved
How do you make it run? I use it on my steamdeck on desktop without issues
We only officially support VRChat on Steam Deck’s SteamOS, which is a flavor of Arch.
You should be able to get VRChat working on any distro as long as you’re running Steam, and run VRChat through Proton. I usually use the latest experimental build of Proton (check the compatibility settings in properties) and that works fine, although there’s a few weird things here or there.
EAC works under Linux as long as you’re running through Proton.
Hello, i try playing vr chat in steam deck in gaming mode with protĂłn experimental, it start something well then , then in world of 16 or plus it put black screen and shut down.
What can i do?
Is this still an issue @kapita?

Hello everyone
I’ve tried playing on my SteamOS (aka HoloISO) virtual machine and even with the latest proton I CAN’T lunch the app
And I don’t know which detail will be usefull, you can ask me anything about my config
In the meantime, here are a few general things to check:
- Verify Game Files: Try verifying the integrity of the VRChat game files through the Steam client. This can sometimes resolve issues with corrupted or missing files.
- Update Drivers: Ensure your host system’s graphics drivers are up-to-date.
- Check for Game Mode: If you’re using Game Mode on your host system, try disabling it temporarily to see if it affects VRChat’s performance.
I hope this helps! Let’s work together to get VRChat running smoothly on your SteamOS.

For everything who is about Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian based I know how it works, but AFAIK SteamOS 3.0 is Arch based and I’m completely newcomer. Is there a command to use, settings to change?
How to know If I’m in or out of the “Game mode”? I never heard of that 
Yes it still shut down and never close
