Hello @jamincollins, please copy the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Thanks, your system is configured to use AMDVLK (https://gist.github.com/jamincollins/9e6312d3258348764daabe6357c6a347#file-gistfile1-txt-L403-L419) and that's broken system wide making Vulkan unusable (https://gist.github.com/jamincollins/9e6312d3258348764daabe6357c6a347#file-gistfile1-txt-L84-L97, https://gist.github.com/jamincollins/9e6312d3258348764daabe6357c6a347#file-gistfile1-txt-L213-L225). Report that driver issue to your distro's package maintainer(s) for AMDVLK and retest the game with mesa/RADV.

@jamincollins, I forgot a detail that's critical to your system.

You have a Renoir GPU. Renoir has GFX9 inside of it (https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#radeongraphicscomputehardware), and AMDVLK has dropped support for GFX9 in v-2023.Q4.1 (Drop support for gfx8-9 ASICs at https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases/tag/v-2023.Q4.1).

Future versions of AMDVLK will also not support your GPU, so there's nothing for an Arch package maintainer to fix. Reconfigure your system to use RADV.

    • https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6826

The game launches from Steam without issue; sign in works.

Symptoms

• Steam works
• Launching MTGA works
• Post-sign in / actually accessing the game triggers this ambiguous socket error
  • Only after signing in does "You have lost your connection to the server" show up.
• Moved ~/.local/share/steam/ to a larger harddrive w/ a symlink, assuming /home was low on space / maybe Arena is trying to cache locally (home is partitioned and definitely smaller than your average harddrive) - no change (Steam still works fine)

Reproduction

Suspecting this is a combo of hardware/software or missing firmware? Debian probably isn't the ideal OS for gaming, but it's what I like to use as my daily driver.

Also worth mentioning:

• I have disabled ipv6 at grub
• Disabled local firewall (but not router firewall) - no change; router firewall seems to not be an issue, as Arena works fine on Android using the same wifi network as the Debian machine
