I bricked my gpu driver

[queen garnet]

So basically I might have bricked my gpu driver, or some other related gpu shiz, cause when I play my game heavy on shaders, Wuthering Waves to be more specific, it can't seem to utilize my gpu (0% gpu utilization according to my system monitor). Other softwares like Blender can use my gpu just fine. I will send the log of packages I suspect that bricked my drivers

also I can't seem to reinstall the removed package lib32-amdvlk through pacman, yay, or paru

it might not be the actual cause but Im dum so....

This seems more like an issue with WuWa than a driver issue, and I definitely don't think you've bricked anything

bricking usually refers to no-going-back scenarios where your hardware becomes very expensive bricks

[queen garnet]

it runs just fine yesterday tho :(

[prime zodiac]

as for lib32-amdvlk, have you enabled the multilib repository for pacman?

this is the sort of scenario where I'd look for wuwa specific logs to try and get to the source of what gpu it's trying to render on - does the game run at all? or do you just get a crash/blackscreen/similar

[queen garnet]

I think I did

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[queen garnet]

I can only get until the log in screen, it crashes when I enter the game

[prime zodiac]

Checked the aur pages, there doesn't seem to be a package named lib32-amdvlk in any repo. It's possible that it was renamed or replaced in the aur and an install or upgrade replaced the old package on your machine.

how do u execute your launcher

[queen garnet]

not launcher. I use steam to launch the game directly

[polar rune]

yea.. that guy..
go to the game settings and launch options for me

[queen garnet]

what do I put on the launch options

[polar rune]

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command%

enter this in the game launch options

[polar rune]

also give me
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

[queen garnet]

is that like prime run?

[polar rune]

do as written

[queen garnet]

aight lemme

[polar rune]

show me what u have done alr

[queen garnet]

launched the game with this option, still doesn't use my gpu

[queen garnet]

do I put this in launch option or bash?

[polar rune]

bash

[polar rune]

oh wait

discord fuck you

change accordingly

please

[queen garnet]

[grimnatsuki@archlinux ~]$ NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (TGL GT1)

holy shit this looks wrong but idk why, thats my integrated graphics btw

[polar rune]

look up

i needed to edit them

[queen garnet]

[grimnatsuki@archlinux ~]$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050/PCIe/SSE2

its aight?

[polar rune]

yep

good job

now change the game launch

and we also might do this to the proton u are using..

[queen garnet]

what should I change it to

[polar rune]

.

[queen garnet]

it no worky but...

it seems to be using my integrated graphics instead of my discrete one

I tried running other games (REPO) for a bit, and it uses the GPU 1 just fine, and runs smoothly

This might be a game issue

man should I obliterate my integrated graphics? lol

[polar rune]

no. go to the proton version u are using and apply the same

make sure u are on performance mode in power settings

[queen garnet]

I just nuked by vulkan-intel driver and it worked lmao

This may cause some issues in the future but I'll ask here again if it does

thanks for your helo @polar rune , I'll mark this thread solved

[quasi oyster]

leopard1a5_no2 received a thank you cookie!

[polar rune]

WHAT

NO😭

DONT

[queen garnet]

nah, I have to play my game srry

[polar rune]

YOUR PC WILL RUN SO HOT

[queen garnet]

I will update you when it does lmao

[polar rune]

whatever u do reinstall. we can do prime-run steam

[queen garnet]

that dont work

tried that

hmmm my integrated graphics card is still being used for rendering some stuffs tho

so it should be fine

so I must cope

it is now my own responsibility for whatever happens next to my pc so dont feel bad

I'll continue to look for better solutions if that exist
