Games don't launch with proton after version 5.0

Okay I know there's a known issue relating to this and I've tried the suggested solutions. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, and uninstalled and reinstalled 'Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier,' but I get the same result. The output in terminal when I try to run 'Elden Ring' is:

But I can't see anything too enlightening there. Visually, there's no game window, and the "X STOP" button returns to "> PLAY" on its own. I've tried this with a couple other games to the same result.

Here is the proton log file,

and here is the steam runtime log file.

Some notable (at least to me) things I'm seeing in the log are:

and

1386.099:0020:00b8:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
1386.099:0020:00b8:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow The explorer process failed to start.

I don't really know, but since I'm not seeing a window, this second bit seems somewhat relevant. If the above sections of the proton log are the problem, I have no idea what the solution is. I spent a week trying to fix this last week, and I've finally cooled down enough to try again, but I am just as lost as before

I appreciate any amount of help anyone can offer.

There appears to be an error with a vulkan check in wine that only occurs in certain setups .

Does this system have an intel integrated videocard ?

swamp_rabbit · 2022-08-12 03:13:36

Yes, though it's an optimus laptop, and I only have the nvidia vulkan drivers installed.

Lone_Wolf · 2022-08-12 07:20:15

Are you using the method described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only ?

If not, please try it.

swamp_rabbit · 2022-08-12 10:08:17

It worked! I was using nvidia-prime, before. I had assumed there was something wrong there, since when I was trying to use nvidia-xrun, steam would hang at the login screen and I'd have to reset my laptop. I thought that using nvidia-xrun to start X was functionally equivalent to using nvidia graphics only.

Any idea why this worked, but not with nvidia-prime?

Edit: Also, thank you. In hindsight this was one of the more obvious things to try, but I was very much stuck on nvidia-prime being the only thing that worked on account of my past experience.

Edit2: I used those xorg settings and slightly modified nvidia-xrun. This ended up working out exactly how I originally wanted it to

Nvidia-prime allows the nvidia card to access the framebuffers of the internal card, but everything else needed to display stuff is still done by the integrated card.

By setting the nvidia card as primary it takes over everything from the integrated card.

Although the issue appears to be solved, I'm hesitant to advise to mark it as such.
Might be better to wait a bit and see if the issue comes back with newer proton/wine/kernel versions.

Nvidia-prime (and prime from other vendors) allow secondary cards to access the framebuffers of the primary card.With icsAside from disdab.only If I understand nvidia-prime (and other PRIME techniques) correctly the render results are placed in the frambebuffers of the integrated card and it is still responsible for doing everything else needed to get stuff to display.

I do think with configuring X org to use the nvidia card as primary card the display outputs are connected to the nvidia framebuffers and the nvidia cardframebuffers are directly connected to the outputsoutdoes reduce thedoes minimise the things the integrated card

Okay so it was working fine until last night. I got back from a work trip, where I had kept the nvidia card off for ~3 days, and tried to start up steam and it hanged at the login window indefinitely, and I ended up having to sysrq+b. This is exactly what was happening before when I was trying to use nvidia-xrun. I switched back to prime-run to see if the same thing I did last time would work, and it did not! I'm not sure if this issue, and the thread topic are related, but this is where the chain of events have lead me, so let me know if you think I should start a new thread.

The only that that I remember changing on my system since steam last started successfully was installing and uninstalling: "bluez, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-bluetooth, pulseaudio-alsa." I don't think I installed or uninstalled anything else. Probably unrelated to the steam issue, but after uninstalling those packages the laptop no longer switches automatically to headphones when I plug into the 3.5mm jack.

Finally, I rebooted today, and when I tried to start steam I just get:

/usr/lib/steam/steam: line 216: /home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Success

Edit: I did pacman -syu last night as well, but this was after steam was hanging at login window, and steam still hanged at login after upgrading at least until I started getting the above output.

I do think it's better to start a new thread.

/var/log/pacman.log has info about everything done by pacman, it might help to include relevant part of that log in the opening post.

swamp_rabbit · 2022-08-20 12:38:32

I will start a new thread. I think the pulseaudio stuff isn't the issue though. I'm pretty sure it's a network issue at this point.
