BG3 Vulkan problem? Please help
(lemmy.world)
Run through Bottles (flatpak) on Fedora Silverblue, AMD GPU, lutris-GE-Proton8-26
edit edit:
- 6.8.8-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
- Radeon RX 6700 XT
- amd-gpu-firmware-20240410-1.fc39.noarch
- amd-ucode-firmware-20240410-1.fc39.noarch
- xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu-23.0.0-2.fc39.x86_64
Neither bg3.exe nor bg3_dx11.exe launch the game for me, so I use the LariLauncher.exe.
- with DirectX11 the game starts but there are bad textures, including on the very first rendered screen.
- with Vulkan I get this error and the game crashes still at this loading screen.
The launcher complains about data mismatch but Heroic Launcher which I use to download my gog files apparently thinks it is fine. Although, the "Verify and Repair" button takes only couple of seconds.
Any ideas please?
I ran it (bg3.exe) through the latest vanilla proton (9.0.1 I think?) earlier today and it had no issues. I used the experimental version for character creation and it had some fucked up textures (color banding mostly), but after switching it ran perfectly in the stable version. I’m running thru steam on a nvidia gpu, so hopefully on amd you’ll be fine if you try that.
is the latest version available within Bottles, I will look into newer versions!
GloriousEggroll, the person who makes ProtonGE, also makes an entire Fedora-based distro called Nobara. it has a lot of gaming-focused changes and comes with a utility which lets you install all sorts of different versions of Proton - both vanilla and GE modded.
obviously switching distros is a big deal but like worst case scenario you could give that a try?
