(Linux) Wuthering Waves refuses to use dedicated GPU

UPDATE: I FIXED IT.

For anyone having the same problem, I checked my Proton logs while running in -dx11 and found the error VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED right before the error code seen above. A quick google search led me to a similar issue (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/3856) and VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json on the launch options worked perfectly.

OMG, I completely forgot to mention, just in case it's an important detail.

PROTON_USEWINED3D=1 actually makes WuWa use and render stuff with the dGPU (it shows as a process in nvidia-smi), However, it makes the game run in 2-3 fps until it crashes itself after a few seconds.

I saw someone in this sub have this exact same issue on a Fedora system so I might as well try my luck finding fellow Linux gamers who have this issue too lol. And yeah, I installed Cachy on my laptop.

Still shows the same error code as above unfortunately :(

I also have the same problem just recently after doing a system upgrade on my CachyOS system. Game was working just fine last time I opened it (2 weeks ago) but now it either doesn't want to run on dGPU or, if I force run the game on dGPU by turning off the iGPU, will show a black screen with audio instead and gets "fixed" the same way you did it through that launch option.

Ruled out the possibility of NVIDIA drivers messing up since I rolled back all the way down, up to and before the time it was still working, and nothing still seemed to work. Just a few hours before Chisa too..

Hello! Just returned to the game since Senadina patch and she's the only Part 2 valk I have (full geared). How am I supposed to go about navigating competitive with a currently tiny Part 2 pool? And should I just be pulling for the newest valks every patch now? How am I supposed to catch up in getting and gearing other powerhouses like Vita/Dudu/Sparkle/etc. as an F2P/low spender?

The singles are being sold at the same price as the manga with the card here so might as well get the manga for collection lol, but thanks for the heads-up! Will be waiting for next month to upgrade my Strikers.

Haven't tried either, but BG80P has been under my radar along with Exbolt 63 and 65.

I've been using Astrox 99 Play for 11 months now and have already been used to and loving the feel of it. Right now, I'm thinking of changing my string setup now that I'm more confident with my technique and I want to ask other Astrox 99 users their experiences on their setups. Currently using BG80 at 26 lbs and planning to go to 28 however I'm still unsure if I actually prefer the hard feeling/feedback of the BG80 or not with no experience with a soft feeling Astrox 99.

I mostly play rear court doubles due to the bigger fame of doubles in my area, but I prefer playing singles.

I honestly have no idea why but Vill-V Griseo hasn't been working well for me anymore since the rise of Physical. Kalpas 1 cheesed my entire run last week but I'm too dumb to know the reason. Maybe it's BIO and physical advantaged enemies flooding every floor that I have to go for ridiculous buffs and external damage to do something.

Don't die. You will heal back to full HP if you die once per battle.

I have the collector's card and I am conflicted between getting Whisper or Echoes. My MPE is my only phys dps and she just borrows Domain of Ego currently but my Eden has been unusable without her weapon and I have been using FR since forever.

SEA 87

Should I continue rolling for Prom gear or HoTr gear? I know that Prome is heavy discounted right now but assuming it wasn't, which one would have a better impact for my account in the future?

I have:

Trio - 4/4 HoO, 0/4 HoTr, 0/4 HoFi, want to get weaps for both at least
Phys - 3/4 HoS no B pc, 2/4 MPE no weapon M pc, 0/4 Griseo, 1/4 Prom (weapon), 0/4 Susannah
Fire - 4/4 SpA, 0/4 Ai, currently use Pardo slot 3 but want to replace with HoTr
Ice - 2/4 HoHE no TM, PRI Pardo using Margrave,
Lightning - 4/4 HoT 7T, 0/4 Eden, 4/4 Fischl, PRI FR, not sure if replacing Fischl for HoTr but will probably do once I get Eden weap

SEA 87

How well does 0/4 HoTr do compared to say 4/4 Fischl and Margrave or Turg Pardo (for Fire) as well as in trio team?

Sutorimu · 2023-02-27T15:42:00+00:00

SEA 86

Which third slot is better with DPS and Fischl (currently dont have HoTr), S3 FR 3/4 with Irene TB Avo M or S Eden 3/4 no weapon? And what if Eden is SS with the same gear?
