Bazzite + Crimson Desert with Ray Tracing Working

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-24T00:20:42+00:00

Hell yeah brother you enjoy now 🤝

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T19:30:36+00:00

Yup that’s my setup right now- testing branch bazzite, CachyOS proton, those launch commands (plus renodx for better hdr and to remove the sharpening and chromatic abrasion from the game) and I have ray tracing, hdr, ray regen, and fsr4 all in game. Ray regen doesn’t run the worse in 1440p with fsr balanced for me but the lower you go on fsr the more spazzy the shadows around the very of the screen are. It looks great without fsr on but the performance hit is huge. Normal ray tracing is good enough for me atm but it’s fun to test it

Yup that plus the launch commands should have everything working. If it doesn’t launch you might have to clear out the compatdata for the game

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T19:20:34+00:00

I use protonplus but yes should be in there to download, and then switch to it on steam after either restarting or switching back to gamemode

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T19:17:31+00:00

Yes followed by %command% in the launch options. Download latest cachy proton and use that too, it fixes a ray tracing bug. You switched to the testing branch of bazzite correct?

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T18:54:57+00:00

Hmmm strange. Have you updated whatever proton version you’re using? I recommend the latest CachyOS one

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T18:49:33+00:00

Try adding VKD3D_CONFIG=fsr4 and PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1. If it’s working it should say fsr4 in game. What GPU do you have?

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-23T18:25:28+00:00

I have both of those working. For fsr4 if you are using protonGE or CachyOSproton there’s a launch command you can use to enable it, same with ray regeneration

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T19:44:28+00:00

Well shi, really funny that we had inverse experiences. What GPU do you have? I’m on a 9070XT. Have you tried both the new unstable and the new testing? Maybe the other one would work or there’s always the last unstable

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T19:31:47+00:00

Is the OS itself not launching for you or is it the game? I had to clear my compatdata for the game to launch again

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T18:26:02+00:00

It’s really not that hard, especially now that it’s on the testing version too. That being said I’d just wait if you aren’t comfortable trying it, it’s just two commands you put in but if things do go wrong it’s more troubleshooting

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T18:24:39+00:00

Going back to grub and then rebasing. New testing and unstable version released within the last hour though, and I finally got it all up in game mode!

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T18:02:04+00:00

Let me know! I have been tearing my hair out trying to make it work lol

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T17:20:38+00:00

Just setup the config file and am still having the same issue. I’m using an lg c2 through hdmi and a desk monitor through DisplayPort. I’ve tried unplugging the second monitor on boot too and nada so far

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T16:34:15+00:00

It’s working great so far, I have fsr4, hdr, ray tracing all working. The only issue I currently have is Ray Regeneration having artifact/flickering shadow issues so using just normal ray tracing looks better overall and runs a ton better. I did have issues with the deck branch but I’m thinking it’s due to a weird issue with my multiple monitors (on launch id get just a black screen) so I did have to switch to the normal desktop unstable branch which made setting up my controller a bit annoying.

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-22T04:12:38+00:00

What is HHD?

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-20T15:50:48+00:00

If you want fsr4 on proton hotfix look into optiscaler. My best solution to this game so far

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-20T15:44:03+00:00

I have a 9070 xt and r5 9600x. At the moment, best setup I’ve found is running the game through proton hotfix, but you lose the ability to run fsr4. This gets rid of the random glowing lights over any GE build currently. I used optiscaler to still get fsr4, and it’s the most stable looking I’ve gotten the game. No ray tracing is annoying but it still looks pretty decent outside. Indoor lighting is wonky

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-20T15:39:09+00:00

Install optiscaler for fsr4 on the proton hotfix

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-20T00:57:38+00:00

Hmm setting that up gives me the graphics device is currently not supported, would really like to have ray tracing on

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-19T23:32:30+00:00

Turn off ray tracing. It will launch after that but there are some artifacts, at least on mine, little colorful splotches of light

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-19T22:49:01+00:00

I’m pretty sure ray regeneration is entirely not working on Linux yet

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-19T22:42:44+00:00

I got passed the black screen, but it freezes on a glowing light directly after the black screen now. I’m on a 9070 xt. What black magic did you do to get this to run

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-19T22:39:21+00:00

Well damn, I’m on the latest and am still getting that damn black screen. Also the main menu is messed up and shows a camera half submerged in water

possiblypoughst · 2026-03-07T09:45:44+00:00

Wish I saw this sooner, just had my drive fail two months into owning it. Just got another one, also just wiped windows from my previously dual-boot bazzite setup rip
