Intel XE Laptop Broken Vulkan some games not working after mesa update

So since updating last week or the week before to mesa 25 I have been having multiple issues with games using proton freezing at launch other games work fine.

Plague Tale Innocence, Assassins Creed 2 , RE4 (original) , Assassins Creed Unity Freezes when loading after menus

Other games e.g Far Cry 2 works and gets into game using dxvk

I have tried reinstalling vulkan-intel and with and without vulkan-extra-layers vulkan-validation-layers

I also tried adding split lock disable environment variables to grub as it was showing in steam logs    split_lock_mitigate=0 
but after further testing it doesn't seem to help

I have also tried different kernels  and ensuring I am using the latest steam beta client

Re: Intel XE Laptop Broken Vulkan some games not working after mesa update

Hi @minilandl
I have an Intel Arc A770.  Same issues with Mesa 25, as per this recent thread: <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304625>

What worked for some games was uninstalling the drivers for other GPU vendors (AMD, Nvidia, `xorg-drivers` package groups, etc.), and then rebooting multiple times.

Also try the Intel `xe` kernel driver instead of the `i915` kernel driver by editing the kernel parameters from the boot options menu (in GRUB or systemd-boot), see: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ … _Xe_driver>

As for if this will fix all the issues with Mesa 25... unfortunately, no.  For me, OBS X11 pipewire screen capture is messed up, and Need For Speed Unbound is still borked on startup.  But I have more hardware to test, just not enough time yet.  hmm

But hopefully it'll get things in a more workable state, until we can all collaborate on some sort of fix.  smile

Until then, I would keep a local clone of: `https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/mesa.git` and maybe consider a revert/rebuild, (or backport fixes if things aren't stable).
The poor guys over at FreeDesktop.org have had a rough few months, the Mesa bugs track to exactly that window... In the face of existential threats, regressions on a lot of less common hardware were of least concern.

Re: Intel XE Laptop Broken Vulkan some games not working after mesa update

I solved my issue with this solution: <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p2235962>

Try using these 'Launch Options' under the game 'Properties' in Steam:
`MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="$PCIE_ID" VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json %command%`

Replace "$PCIE_ID" with the output of: (Updated 2025-04-11 for integrated Xe detection)

$ lspci -nn | grep VGA | sed 's/^.*\[\(.*\)\].*$/\1/'

Or start Steam with:

$ PCIE_ID="$(lspci -nn | grep VGA | sed 's/^.*\[\(.*\)\].*$/\1/')"
$ MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="$PCIE_ID" VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json steam
