[SOLVED] Certain Games Crashing Immediately After Being Launched

Jotunn · 2023-07-13 15:48:24

What is happening:
As the title says, some of my games are crashing as soon as they are being launched.
Notably, this is not happening to all of my games. The only 2 I have seen experience the issue are Elden Ring and Apex Legends.
Other games that do not rely on Vulkan are not impacted by this issue.
Other games that are not using Easy Anticheat are not impacted by this issue.
I cannot think of any other similarities between these two games that set them apart from the rest of my library.

What I have tried so far:
System update / reboot
Using a different version of Proton
Verifying the integrity of game files
Reinstalling the game
Reinstalling Steam
I have seen a number of similar issue that were resolved by disabling Steam's in-game overlay but this feature is already force-disabled for both of these games (and other games which are not experiencing the issue)

Terminal output from Steam while the game is launching and crashing:

Based on this, I think the issue might have something to do with my graphics drivers but I am not sure what to do with that given my system is already up to date.

And what graphics card and driver should this be? Post

vulkaninfo --summary

on a guess install lib32-radeon-vulkan and radeon-vulkan and remove lib32-amdvlk and amdvlk. Might also want to test disabling the steam shader pre-cache, that sometime leads to wonky states.

Bingo, maybe add {lib32-}vulkan-mesa-layers but your immediate problem will be lib32-amdvlk.

I agree with V1del, the line above shows you still have lib32-amdvlk installed.

Jotunn · 2023-07-14 13:29:11

Ok, this part feels kinda dumb but:

# pacman -S lib32-radeon-vulkan
error: target not found: lib32-radeon-vulkan

# pacman -S radeon-vulkan
error: target not found: radeon-vulkan

# pacman -R lib32-amdvlk
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing lib32-amdvlk breaks dependency 'lib32-vulkan-driver' required by steam

# pacman -R amdvlk
error: target not found: amdvlk

Jotunn · 2023-07-14 17:34:12

fixed the issue with the install packages
it is vulkan-radeon not radeon-vulkan

Success!

whoops sorry for the nameflub

Just wanted to thank you both. Apex Legends was crashing and I just fixed it using the info on this thread.
