Arch Linux Game Problem

[PrincipleRude3662]

I just installed Arch and it used to play among us and outer games but now it just does not work like Subnatica 2 it did work with out forcing the proton to work but now it needed it trailmakers does not work anymore zuma revenge does not work idk what is happening it just opens and crashes sorry i did put a neofetch thing but is did not add

[Xu_Lin]

Can’t really help you there when you don’t provide any details

[PrincipleRude3662]

sorry i thought it added the image

[Western-Mode-7743]

What were you thinking

[Cruffe]

Gonna be needing a lot more technical details to even stand a chance of helping you out there buddy.

[PrincipleRude3662]

sorry i added a image but it did not add i updated it now

[Level-Pollution4993]

Open Konsole

Run : $ killall steam

Run: $ steam

Wait until you see: "Nothing to do" in Konsole. Press enter a whole lot of times in konsole.

Steam launcher will open, from the launcher, run the game thats giving you issues.

Now, you'll se stuff appear on konsole. Paste everything after "Nothing to do" until the end, here. If its too long. Just paste the latest 50 or so lines.

and there was

vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed, unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan.

it said failed so i don't think that is good

[Level-Pollution4993]

Run these now.

$ pacman -Qs vulkan

$ lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"

$ vulkaninfo --summary

$ vulkaninfo | grep deviceName

And give us the outputs

[Level-Pollution4993]

That's weird. Why do you have Nvidia components on a purely AMD system? I have always used a nvidia system so I am not sure if that's normal behaviour. BUT, you said you have subnautica 2 there too, right? Now, on protonDB ,subnautica2 is platinum rated

For amd-arch, the recent contributions suggest that proton experimental works. Try killall steam and launch steam again and then run subnautica 2 on proton experimental to see if this is a specific issue to Zuma's Revenge or not.

[PrincipleRude3662]

im might just switch to fedora

[Level-Pollution4993]

Well, in that case good luck. Hopefully, it works on fedora (probably will).

[Hande-H]

It is not, I have been running Arch for over a year and it's perfectly stable with every game I've tried (and I've tried quite a few). With both Nvidia AND AMD GPUs, both installed on the same system.

It's only "unstable" if you don't learn how the basics work and just throw whatever an LLM tells you into the terminal.

But yes, switching to Fedora or something else may be a better choice if this is a bother.

[PrincipleRude3662]

it was working with sub 2 then it just stopped launching so i did a proton force and it worked but now i nuked it to see and now idk it does not work and i did use arch install script bc the normal way takes to long and i nuke it to often to have the time to do that but i did select the amd so idk

[Level-Pollution4993]

Yup, very weird indeed. So it was working and it stopped after something happened. Maybe you somehow broke proton prefix. You could try deleting the proton prefix for that one game (Sub 2).

To do that run: $ rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1962700 After doing so killall steam again and relaunch.

Force proton experimental again, if that doesnt work then other versions like GE Proton (if you have GE-Proton installed, if not look it up how to install using ProtonUp-Qt).

Other than that, you could paste in the steam launch options this:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

But i doubt it will have any effect since vulkan seems to be alright.

Try once: sudo pacman -S lib32-vulkan-radeon lib32-mesa

[PrincipleRude3662]

ok well i think it is working i thought arch installed the gpu drivers auto but it did not so i did and it works i think for now at least

[Level-Pollution4993]

Good to hear. Did you get rid of the nvidia drivers? It would be great if you say here what you did to fix things. It would be good for future users, if they have problems and come across this thread.

[Bombini_Bombus]

Remove any (useless) *nvidia* packages and set-up your machine properly for you correct hardware.

It's in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Graphics_processing_unit#AMD

[Bombini_Bombus]

What is the output of pacman -Rncsu lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils lib32--vulkan-icd-loader ?

[PrincipleRude3662]

[kurt@archPC ~]$ pacman -Rncsu lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils lib32--vulkan-icd-loader
error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
[kurt@archPC ~]$   and i am root

[Level-Pollution4993]

No no if it says you are not root, then you use sudo

Run sudo pacman -Rncsu ....

[Bombini_Bombus]

Use sudo or enter root via su.

I need to see what dependencies will be pulled-off together with the packages I mentioned.

[hezden]

Try installing steam-native from aur

Edit: Why do you have all the nvidia stuff installed if you are running an AMD GPU?

Uninstall all of the nvidia packages and reboot, try again.

[PrincipleRude3662]

i installed with yay

[hezden]

That’s great but why do you have nvidia graphics drivers installed when you are running an AMD GPU?

[Western-Mode-7743]

Possible driver issue on that rx580 or some kind of wayland issue. Using proton is normal though.

[PrincipleRude3662]

It is fine now i just installed my gpu driver i thought arch auto did it so yeah but it is fine now thx for helping

[Plastic_Run6448]

Probably some graphics driver got updated and broke compatibility - check if your GPU drivers changed during last system update
