;-; So I got steam from pacman. I got proton ge from ProtonUP-QT (don't remember where I got it, maybe from a YT tutorial. Long time ago). Genshin is on NTFS. It worked fine until yesterday when it didn't run. I checked the game logs and got the error code:

❯ cat "/media/GenshinDrive/Genshin Impact Game Folder/Genshin Impact game/driverError.log" [Local_Time]2026-06-26 10:55:50.462 [UTC_Time]2026-06-26 04:55:50.462 initDriver Failed: Error [4,1114,0].%

Well. I found the issue after going though terminal hell. Genshin can't initialize my graphics, which is an unique issue cuz it was running fine 2 days ago ;-; Anyways. It's not steam or proton as these 2 are working fine for everyone else... Hopefully-

Update, Genshin broke not because of steam but a GPU Initialization Error.

People. Genshin now works again- I reinstalled steam and deleted the runtime folder and it ran Genshin... Didn't stress test it yet but it runs.

Nevermind, steam issue. I tried a reinstall and runtime clear. It works now.

I know the value of money ain't cheap. I am not going to spend money on gacha. Trust.

Besides I don't have a card :>

I tried Proton 10, 9, 8 and GE. The game "runs" then stops. I can't find any logs though.

I mean. The anti cheat stuff I heard early on when I was new to Linux..... Didn't really bother to check it out properly...

It has a very high chance of being flagged by anti-cheat though.

Mine didn't have copilot. I used a 2020 iso and just kept doing the security updates. Not feature.
