Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

#

you could also try to alter ahh, whatever vulkan shaders is. there are some optional drivers and things.

#

or, driver options, not optional drivers.

#

lol

#

that is true.

#

perhaps it's also true that there are optional drivers.

brave heart
#

how about using steam to run it?

#

do you have dxvk configured?

#

... dxvk

#

having protonup-qt also helps

#

then you have bottles to run it

#

... bottles

#

you should use steam native

#

then use protonGE

meager junco
#

that's what i was getting at with swapping proton versions. yes, there's a diff.

brave heart
#

GE is the one we use to game

#

users there tell how to run it

meager junco
#

what would be casting the floats to ints?

brave heart
#

most users say to use latest proton with steam

#

.aw steam

#

in most cases, the latest proton is sufficient. for some things, ge is needed.

#

but this isn't a problem with that.

brave heart
#

when gaming, you must have wine and dxvk installed on the base system

#

then use protonup-qt to manage wine runners

#

then enable proton on steam

#

select GE or experimental and it should run

#

no

#

lutris depends on dxvk

#

it won't install anything extra

#

... dxvk

#

protonGE should help

#

it did help me with running doom eternal

#

yes

#

as it's installed on your base system

#

it's like wanting to run a game and not having directX on windowz

#

dxvk stands for DirectXVulKan

brave heart
#

#

#

#

sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

#

.aw nvidia
