Steam play not Working

I have recently installed walking zombie 2 game from steam in manajro xfce
and configuring it in proton 6

but after proper and complete installation
I am getting this error

error

I have seen many guides, but I am not able to understand what to do
please can anybody explain me easily how to solve this problem

THANKS

It has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB. It appears it should work out of the box.

Your profile shows you’re using a Radeon R4 which may be too old to be supported by the amdgpu driver. That’s probably why as the legacy radeon driver does not support Vulkan.

Please post the output of the following:

Make sure you have your games for Steamplay/proton on an ext4 formatted volumes. Had numerous strange issues before realising this. May not solve your issue, but maybe it will help!

You’re not utilizing the amdgpu driver but the radeon one as expected from Yochanan’s message.

I can suggest something to try to force using the amdgpu driver, but it is a 50/50 if you’ll boot back easily or not after that so… do as you want, if you know how to go to another TTY to type commands or if you know how to chroot your installation in case of issues… here is the tip: try to install the amdgpu-experimental package, so it will apply some modifications in the system to enable some experimental stuff (and force amdgpu if possible in the process). There might be better solution like blacklisting the radeon driver, or other manual intervention, but my tip is as simple as clicking install in Add/Remove Programs, and rebooting.

PS: I don’t know anything about your video card, didn’t research, and just made a random suggestion.

So what can I do to apply this solution

ok bro
thanks for the comment

A safer approach, albeit with a performance penalty, is to use the OpenGL wrapper for DirectX.

Add this to the launch options in steam (right click game, go to properties, add this to the launch options text box)

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Bro thanks very much
I have tried it and it worked
but the game is working like hell
even a game of 18.6 Mb is working horrible/awful

the game the walking zombie 2 is taking very much time to open and load
and after loading I am getting only 8-10 fps
whereas in windows I used to get 30 fps second on the same hardware and on the same laptop

I have tried many games,
many low-end games, all are working very bad

please tell me any solution you got

Which specific AMD GPU do you have?

See this wiki for enabling AMDGPU, but note like others mentioned it is experimental. I would suggest having a Manjaro USB at hand just incase for recovery.

Do I have to install the experimental mesa driver ???
Here is my full GPU information

If this worked, then please check if your GPU have Vulkan Support. If not, then you will stock on OpenGL Translation Layer which is slower.

Maybe it will activate Vulkan, if your GPU has support?

Check it with:

vulkaninfo 

(install vulkan-tools if the command does not work)

No, see the wiki article he linked. We have a package in the repos that does what it describes called amdgpu-experimental. Be prepared to switch to a TTY and uninstall it if it doesn’t work. :wink:

Nope.

I installed vulkan by the command you have provided me
(install vulkan-tools)

but after installation was sucessful
when I tried this command (vulkaninfo)
it is throwing me this error

[ayushk@ayush-inspiron3541 ~]$ vulkaninfo
ERROR at /build/vulkan-tools/src/Vulkan-Tools-1.2.182/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:248:vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed with ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
[ayushk@ayush-inspiron3541 ~]$ 

After installing
amdgpu-experimental
what should I do ???
And how to revert If anything goes wrong ??

Read the wiki.

ok i will read it
thanks

if it boots to a black screen, come back on the forum with something else. in theory sudo pacman -R amdgpu-experimental from a TTY (CTRL ALT F3 from the black screen) and rebooting should be enough to get back to where you were.

Sorry
I am not interested in doing it
my system is having a lot of important files
lots of important data
and I am also not having a flash drive to reinstall the system

I can continue to not play any game
rather than risking my system

thanks

maybe you can tell me what is tty
