What is the game's name?

#

And whats your GPU/CPU?

#

Got it

ello maybe this can help you
It seems you are encountering an issue where newer games are not launching due to a missing Shader Model 3.0 requirement. This is likely caused by an incompatibility between your graphics drivers and the game's requirements. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Update your graphics drivers to the latest version. Make sure you are using the official drivers from AMD or NVIDIA, not third-party versions. Reinstalling the drivers may help resolve any missing components[4].
Check if your graphics card supports Shader Model 3.0. Older cards may not meet this requirement for newer games. You can look up the specifications of your GPU to confirm its support for Shader Model 3.0[4].
Try using a different version of Proton. Experimental versions may have issues with certain games. Switch to a stable version like Proton 7.0 or 5.13 and see if that resolves the problem[1][2].
Ensure you have the necessary 32-bit libraries installed. Some games require 32-bit dependencies that may be missing. Install the required packages using your package manager, such as sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 on Ubuntu[3].
Delete the game's Wine prefix and shader cache. Removing the existing prefix and letting Proton recreate it may fix any corrupted files. You can find the prefix in ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/[game_id][2].
As a last resort, try running the game with the PROTON_LOG=1 environment variable. This will generate a detailed log file that may provide more information about the specific error. You can then share the log with the Proton community for further assistance[1].

If none of these steps work, the issue may be specific to the game or your hardware configuration. You can check the game's ProtonDB page to see if others have reported similar problems and any workarounds. If the issue persists, consider contacting the game's developer or the Proton community for further support.

I had the same problem on Take on Helicopters technically, but it was more of a proton thing

#

Alright, what is the integrated in cpu?

#

Give me a time, i'll search it

#

Dont worry, I will do the impossible to make it fix

#

Actually, I have an idea on how to fix it

#

BaseModel=0, put that on steam's initiation commands (on startup commands on properties)

#

Also try changing it to Vulkan or OpenGL

#

It basically lets you insert custom commands, usually needed for games that ran badly or dont even run

#

Try putting the thing I sent on Steam's Properties Startup Commands

#

VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation

Also try this

south salmon May 25, 2024, 12:28 PM

#

south salmon VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation Also try this

If basemodel doesnt work, try the VK model

#

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

#

Yeah

#

Try running these 3 commands, if one doesnt work, try another

south salmon May 25, 2024, 12:30 PM

#

south salmon PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

This

south salmon May 25, 2024, 12:30 PM

#

south salmon VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation Also try this

And this, try each other

#

Try the other one

#

Yeah, thats what I used on Take on Helicopters on a Intel I5-3330

#

Mhm, try it

#

If it doesnt crash on the start, it means it worked

#

Also remember to run on low graphics

#

Deo gratias

#

Did it loaded?

#

Damn, I never though the command I got would be so powerful ^^'

#

Tell me if it loads, remember, its in a compatibility layer

#

So dont expect it to work much like on Windows

#

Yeah

#

I hope it manages to launch

#

Got it

#

What is the crash?

#

Alright, I'll do a search

#

@paper mortar I have an idea, try running the same command I gave you that made FS19 Work on the Steam

#

NIIIIIICCCCEEEEEE

#

Alright heh :'D

#

I dont think that will do much difference, but if you want

#

Did it worked?

#

But FS19 got into the ingleplayer?

#

lmad

#

Yeah, Its in a compatibility layer

#

I use KDE, but I am still a beginner y'know

#

I runned between arch-based distros, but never Arch linux itself

#

Nowadays I am in Solus, as its good for home computing

#

I Ran into Mint, Zorin, Fedora, RegataOS, Big Linux

lusty abyss May 25, 2024, 12:41 PM

#

i did more than you

#

heh

south salmon May 25, 2024, 12:42 PM

#

Shit, lets ry something else

#

Try it

#

I will update my system, if you are able to wait a bit

#

@paper mortar Sorry, I returned now

#

Finding a solution rn

#

PROTON_USE_WINED3D @paper mortar

#

@paper mortar PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% try this

#

Proton 5.0-GE-1: @paper mortar Also this, you might need this version

#

As it runs The Sims 4 pretty well on Proton

#

Try getting Proton 5.0, and then make that game only run with Proton 5.0 version

#

Sure

#

Remember, natively, your GPU doesnt support The Sims 4

#

As it requires by default DirectX12

#

What you're trying to do is emulate DirectX12 through Proton

#

Most modern games now require DirectX12, including FS19

#

What is the DirectX it supports?

#

I meant the game, but I know where it is getting

#

Shit...

#

Alright

#

Got it

#

Try it again

#

Alright

#

I would reccomend using X11, I dont think that really matters

#

As I've been using X11

#

Oh well, so there's no way

#

I dont think that makes a huge difference either way

#

Let me see if it breaks

#

Wayland is broken by design
A crash in the window manager takes down all running applications.
You cannot run applications as root.
You cannot do a lot of things that you can do in Xorg by design.

#

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% this and install Proton 5.0-GE-1:

#

Yeah, maybe you can try X11

#

I find X11 way stabler and things, also thats what I've been using

#

I never got the wayland hype

#

Yeah

#

Try installing it, and then make The Sims 4 start with it

#

Properties and Compatibility

#

I dont think so, but you can try with the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

#

As it seems to emulate DirectX12, but dont expect solid 60 fps

#

Nice

#

Be careful with disk space

#

Yeah

#

Properties on The Sims 4

#

And then Compatibility, make it run with Proton 5

#

Did it run atleast?

#

Well shit

#

Did you tried Lutris?

#

I would reccomend Lutris at this point

#

Lutris might have Steam connection

#

Lutris is a video game preservation platform

#

Sure

#

Does it have proton?

#

Nice

#

Try putting what I sent you

#

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

#

Let me think on something else

#

WINEPREFIX=$ HEROIC_PROTON=1 %command%. @paper mortar

#

Here we go

#

Try removing the %command%

#

What is below the table?

#

/usr/bin/proton run %game_exe%

#

I think that might fix it I hope

#

''In "Launch Options", select "Custom" and add the following command: /usr/bin/proton run %game_exe%''

#

Yeah, I think

#

It requires shader model 6.0, which is just far behind what your GPU can support

#

Neither Mesa, neither Proton can do anything

#

Your GPU does not support Vulkan

#

I think its a updated version of your GPU

#

Alright, let me try something else to solve this

#

There's no hope.

#

Heroic Game Launcher is not possible, as you might need to edit files in the game that might make 99% chance of failing higher

#

Maybe if it was Steam, but that would be throwing money to buy a thing that you own

#

Yeah

#

Try running FS19 with the new vram

south salmon May 25, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

@paper mortar Anything else?

#

Got it

#

Thanks for letting me help

#

Also, dont give trolls attention, and neither listen to elitist users, you are free to use any distro you want

#

Yeah, Valve has native linux games

#

I prefer Solus cuz its good for home computing

#

But I would use ElementaryOS too, I just need Firefox/Brave for daily tasking and Steam/.deb/Flatpak

#

Never listen to elitist users, as all they want is their favourite distro (arch linux) to become popular, and shame you for using a beginner/intermediare distro

#

I like it too

#

Mhm

#

Solus was a bit of pain of a neck to get it working

#

I still have PTSD of updating this thing

#

But yeah, feel free to pick any distro you like

#

Yeah, 5.15 seems to be stabler

south salmon May 25, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

Wdym black?

#

Let me try to help, hang in

#

@paper mortar Did you remapped the controls?

#

Shit

#

PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1 %command%, PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%. @paper mortar put these 2 commands together

#

-PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1 %command% -PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

#

Copy that

#

Uhh no

#

Yeah, there is no Vulkan on GPU

#

You have Vulkan installed, but no Vulkan supported

#

I really dont know what to do

#

Do you have others games that you can play?

#

Minecraft, and like 80 - 85% of Steam games are running with Proton, also a reccomendation would check protondb to see whats running good or bad to run

#

Also, you need a somewhat decent hardware to run these games

#

You cant just use an really old/mediocre NVidia and try to run it

#

I would reccomend also doing a upgrade on the hardware of the laptop

#

And get an AMD card

#

Dont interrupt please

#

If you arent going to help any way, then just quit it

#

@paper mortar Can I suggest you something?

#

What are the types of games you play the most?

#

Valve games seems to be a bit better to run through Linux without proton as mostly are native

#

But you should worry with Triple A multiplayer games

#

As these have agressive and intrusive anti-cheat

#

I would reccomend 2 things if you are able to keep up

Update the laptop's hardware, if its ever possible, you can salvage the old pieces for an work/school laptop/pc
Avoid games that are multiplayer-focused/AAA games/anti-cheat games

#

Its really sad that you just pay like 40 dollars for a game (which is 300 reais) only to it not work on the system that you use

#

Farming Simulator 19 has Gold on protondb, so upgrade your hardware if extremely needed

south salmon May 25, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

Shit

#

Yeah, that seems a problem with Mint or the laptop distro

#

I guess it makes some differences

#

Did you installed from package manager?

#

Try installing from package manager/system default with the distro store

#

Yeah, it gives a few bugs

#

I think thats a hardware issue, like

#

I had luck of making Take on Helicopters working

#

And it was the same command that we used to help with the Farming Simulator

#

@paper mortar Your system has Vulkan, but your GPU doesnt have Vulkan

#

Even though Linux makes miracles and adds vulkans to Intel cpus that have not in Windows

south salmon May 25, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

Yeah

south salmon Jun 9, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

Did you enabled Proton?

south salmon Jun 12, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

@paper mortar Still need help?

#

If ya still need help, you can open another topic

#

I would reccomend closing this topic for now
