# Steam, SteamOS, and Proton | Sentry for Godot Engine

The Sentry Godot SDK automatically detects Steam environments — including SteamOS, Wine/Proton, and Steam Deck — and enriches your error reports with platform-specific context like OS and device context, and Proton Runtime version.

A `steam: "true"` tag is added to all events when a Steam environment is detected. Use this tag to filter events from Steam users in Sentry. You can also filter by `runtime` and `runtime.name` tags to narrow down issues by Proton version.

Steam environment detection requires SDK version **1.5.0** or later.

## [Troubleshooting](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/godot/configuration/steam.md#troubleshooting)

### [Library Loading Fails With SteamLinuxRuntime](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/godot/configuration/steam.md#library-loading-fails-with-steamlinuxruntime)

If you distribute your game on Steam using the oldest Linux runtime (`scout`), the SDK may fail to load with an error like:

```bash
ERROR: Can't open dynamic library: libsentry.linux.debug.x86_64.so.
Error: libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4` not found
(required by libsentry.linux.debug.x86_64.so).
```

This happens because `scout` bundles an outdated version of `libcurl` that is incompatible with the Sentry native SDK.

**Solution:** Switch to the `sniper` runtime for your game's Linux distribution on Steam. This is the runtime [recommended by Valve](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/platforms/linux) for all new Linux-native games.

##### Godot Editor on Steam

The Godot editor installed via Steam is locked to the `scout` runtime and doesn't allow switching to `sniper`. If you need the Sentry SDK during development, use the standalone Godot editor from [godotengine.org](https://godotengine.org/download/) instead.
