[SOLVED] Civ 6 using Proton

OptimusCrime97 · 2022-01-17 13:57:09

Hello everyone,

I am trying to run Civ 6 with proton, however when I start the game with steam the 2k launcher pops up normally but when I select directX11 and start the game it crashes with the error:

"No compatible graphics device found. Please ensure that your system has a correctly configured, compatible graphics device."

The output of steam in the terminal is the following:

(base) tobias@x360arch ~ $ steam

My graphic card driver and system is up to date, could anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Well what graphics device and which driver? What's your output of

pacman -Qs vulkan
glxinfo -B
vulkaninfo --summary

Betting another absent-minded steam install picking up the broken amdvlk packages. If you are not running an AMD graphics card (... FWIW even if you do) you need to avoid installing amdvlk anything as it contains broken logic to force any usage of vulkan to itself. That can happen if you install steam and don't pay attention to pacman's output which will ask you for a vulkan-provider which will alphabetically default to amdvlk, while you probably rather intended to select something else.

Thanks for your reply!

The graphic card is:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G7 (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	DeviceName:  Onboard IGD
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 86f9
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 176, IOMMU group 1
	Memory at 603c000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at 4000000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	I/O ports at 3000 [size=64]
	Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [virtual] [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: i915
	Kernel modules: i915

the output is:

(base) tobias@x360arch ~ $ pacman -Qs vulkan
glxinfo -B
vulkaninfo --summary
local/amdvlk 2021.Q4.3-2
    AMD's standalone Vulkan driver

local/vulkan-icd-loader 1.2.202-1

should i reinstall steam?

V1del · 2022-01-17 15:06:18

No you need to read the second part of my post because it's exactly what happened. Install vulkan-intel and lib32-vulkan-intel and remove amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk.

For the other outputs you can install mesa-utils and vulkan-tools, however the immediate problem is that you have the wrong vulkan drivers.
