Summary
This page tells you how to set the launch options for Steam under Linux. If you have trouble after an update and have exhausted all the usual steps, make sure to double-check them — sometimes, Steam helpfully deletes them for you to make sure that your game crashes on startup. For GoG or Epic Games Store, the steps are the same, but the location to set the launch options are different.
