Issues playing games on Steam through Proton-GE

After this update I’m experiencing issues playing games on Steam through Proton-GE. Running Deep Rock Galactic I get the message

A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine.

Other games show similar messages.

+1 I have this issue.

That’s great. However, your post neither helps the original person nor yourself solve the issue. If you need further assistance, please create your own topic.

As always, startup options:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%

Problem is that steam doesn’t find the location of the vulkan json file. I have this problem for a while now. I just add this and I am good to go. You should also add prime-run (since hybrid gpu) and gamemoderun (be sure that the gamemode service is running).

This can all be resolved by installing frogging family’s

nvidia-all

(Granted you have an NVIDIA card. I personally recommend the 5.15 drivers, always dkms. Also I would use their tkg-pds kernel. Oh and disable Optimus completely.

How, pray tell? I can run any of my Steam games with Proton with no issues.

:warning: Not supported (or will even work) on Manjaro as they’re designed to work on Arch.

To me it looks like it’s running on the Intel Graphics and not the Nvidia Driver, have you tried prime-run command?
