[SOLVED] AMD video drivers help

f4_archie · 2025-07-25 15:35:59

I want to run an old windows game via wine: halo custom edition. I have Intel CPU and 5700 XT GPU with the open source AMD drivers installed, as well as the lib32-mesa from multilib. When I run the game, I am getting 4 to 6 fps and can't figure out why. When I run glxinfo 32, it says

[archie@archie-linux ~]$ glxinfo32
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

I previously tried to use the proprietary AMD pro drivers and saw the same low fps isssue. I also tried installing playonlinux with yay and found the exact same low fps issue. When launching playonlinux, I got a pop-up saying that "PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries. You might encounter problem with your games" Since then, I have clean (re-)installed Arch and now just have the open source drivers, and still can't seem to get the 32 bit drivers to work for the game, and the glxinfo32 command produces the above result.

Looking for help troubleshooting the issue, thank you!

The most common reason for that error used to be an incorrect llvm 32-bit version.
Does running pacman -Syu make a difference ?

Is this on wayland or X ?

I've run pacman -Syu plenty but it doesn't seem to change anything. I've also reinstalled the amd video drivers with no change. I haven't made any specific configurations for X or Wayland, so I believe I'm using Wayland by default. I've run this command to confirm

echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"
wayland

Is xorg-xwayland installed ? If not, install it.

Please post the outputs of

$ lspci -k
$ pacman -Qs lib32
$ glxinfo -B

Yes xorg-wayland is installed.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Installation
https://archlinux.org/news/transition-t … e-staging/

Doesn't explain the glxinfo32 output, though.
What do "glxinfo32 -B" get you on an X11 session and how does the game perform there?

Also this is a hybrid graphics system, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … rs_-_PRIME
But apparently at least xwayland runs on the AMD chip?
Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Thank you for the info and links seth, I have thankfully got the game working now. I did not try the X11 session but read the note about dxvk on the hybrid graphics system and also in the Wine installation page, and after installing dxvk to my wine prefix the game is now smooth and purring like a kitten. I still have the glxinfo32 error, but the game seems to be working just right so I am happy. Maybe the graphics drivers are working as expected, but with the glxinfo32 output, I'm not certain. However, I'll mark the thread as solved because the game works well now.

Big thank you to you seth, and Lone_Wolf!

seth · 2025-07-26 05:52:48

Links meant to say that
1. wine in the repos doesn't use multilib any more, so from what I can tell glxinfo32 should™ be irrelevant (not saying that the failure there looks good)
2. on a hybrid system you will or might have to nudge wine to use your GPU (though your wayland compositor might default there anyway) - you sidestepped that w/ dxvk which defaults to the GPU

I'd still recommend to look into
1. the X11 behavior (as baseline)
2. your wayland compositor and its configuration
3. the overall multilib situation (if wine is your only but not actual consumer: drop mulitlib repo and packages, otherwise check whether other 32bit processes work as expected)
