Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I have played Rise of the Tomb Raider game for years and it worked perfectly. However, after openSUSE Tumbleweed, a rolling release distro, switched its default audio API from PulseAudio to Pipewire, the game crash. I have to reinstall PulseAudio and uninstall Pipewire to play this game. The same issue happens to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, too.
But Pipewire is the future, with lower latency and higher quality. I do hope that Steam Runtime or Tomb Raider can be compatible with Pipewire.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Install
pipewireandpipewire-pulseaudiowhich replacepulseaudio - Launch Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Enter the game
