Fixed

Hey so I'm brand new to arch Linux and have this small issue; some of the games that should work simply don't for me (uno and cult of the lamb) Both running proton experimental via steam and they have the exact same error output https://imgur.com/a/I4TPDdp I dont really know where to even begin in debugging this so if anyone has some ideas or more info that you could help me get? Say logs or something as I'm not sure how to get them that'd be greatly appreciated!

What's your hardware? Post

lspci -k
glxinfo -B #mesa-utils
vulkaninfo --summary #vulkan-tools

and the log generated when starting steam and the game from a terminal in code tags .

Have you tried with normal, non-experimental Proton 7 ?

Yeah i've tried proton GE proton and proton 7 non experimental still has the same issue.

As for my hardware you can see my neofetch here https://imgur.com/a/vs53LQN

I have a reddit thread that you may find useful in terms of replys and what others have suggested me to do. You can find that here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c … h_to_1920/

Neofetch doesn't give enough details and the reddit thread doesn;t seem to include lspci -k output,.

Since your posts in the reddit thread indicate you have no idea where xorg log can be found
(possible locations are easy to find on archlinux wiki xorg page and /etc/ is not among them_)
I have to ask :
how did you install archlinux ?

Archinstall

Side note: We managed to fix the issue; i dont entirely understand it but somehow it was my seccond gpu that was causing the error you can see the thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c … ?context=3

I have read the entire reddit thread and still don't know how you solved the issue .

It's not unusual for vulkan using apps & steam to have trouble with multiple vulkan capable gpus, but no idea how to correct that with nvidia drivers.

Please elaborate a bit so others with similar issues may benefit .

Xanthus58 · 2022-09-10 21:14:58

The guy who helped me fix it referd to this as a possible solution https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/blob/ … ice-filter

But personally i just took out the second gpu and called it a night.
