Vulkan doesn't work

Support Gaming
1

Greetings.
Linux gaming is hard…

Then I’m trying to run native games in Vulkan, they just freeze or crash.
DotA 2 for example freezes in the menu after like 1 sec, but mouse pointer still works.

Also, none of non-native games run at all, using any version of Proton.
Game is “running” as my Steam states, but it doesn’t.

I use Steam for all my games.

Googled all the google, and nothing helps.

If I understand it properly according to the internet, Proton uses DXVK which is a Vulkan-based translation of DirectX, so my guess that Vulkan is the root of problem with Proton.

Please help me to have at least an acceptable gaming experience with Manjaro… I fell in love with this OS and it’s stability, but this issues make me cry

Of course I can just use OpenGL like I do now, but I really wonder if the Vulkan would make a difference, and still I’m not getting Proton games.

Looks like a messed up installation. Have a clean installation of wine and steam (if steam-manjaro fails, try steam-native) might help. Both Vulkan and Proton work fine on my machine, but both my CPU and GPU are 3 generations ahead so that might also be a factor as I don’t know how far Vulkan and Proton support backward compatibility.

Definitely not an expert at this but it looks like you are using the nouveau drivers? I think your card is compatible with at least the 390 drivers. Gaming on nouveau drivers is extremely poor and I think vulkan may not be supported by nouveau (apologies if I’m wrong)

5

I would definitely not use this driver, from my experience it doesn’t work properly. I would use latest one, or 340.
This is maybe not the issue in your case, but I know for a fact there are issues with this driver that I can’t explain but that I noticed, as well as other people.

I noticed inxi reports you have two video cards Nvidia 755M? is that true?

6

Yes, I got two of them, but one removes easily.
The thing is that using just one gpu I couldn’t boot properly - X-server just refused to start, even forced.

It only worked with noveau drivers, and that issue came up only when I used nvidia drivers. Installing the second GPU resolved this problem.

About drivers themselves - MHWD giving me only one option - 390xx, no 340, no 418, just 390 one.

And as somebody told me on my reddit thread, this is actually the only supported driver, despite the fact that nvidia itself claims that 418xx is the latest for it (using their driver search on website)

7

According to Nvidia themselves, Vulkan is supported by my GPUs.

Even some waaaaay older GPUs are supported down to GeForce 400-series if I’m not mistaken.

8

I checked on Nvidia site and the only available driver for this GPU is 353 version:

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/87791/en-us

which doesn’t exist in Linux. Nvidia had retired 340xx series which would work here. So yeah, the only way to use this now is with noveau drivers now. Not ideal, but it is what it is. Unless you can compile it in your own with newer kernels (it may not succeed, but probably there is a group of people who already solved that) - look for that info. It’s however a messy situation, because you would have to compile it with every kernel update.

As other stated, noveau should work with Vulkan, but some games require proprietary drivers and will complain (read: won’t run) without them.

It is also very possible that the wine and steam installs are messed since some files are missing, so you need to clean install them again.
As for the two dGPUs working, this is some tricky setup that needs to be manually set and there are some resources on that topic, but I’m not acquainted with them, so can’t help here :frowning: .

So a problem here is complicated and multileveled: old hardware not enough supported by software + messed up installs+unusual hardware setup.
Are there any distros that still have 340xx drivers? Maybe Linux Mint? For such old hardware, some LTS systems will be better.

If some software gets unsupported, it’s vanishing from Linux because in Linux each component is in sync with others so old software must be rejected. On Windows, when things are more static it’s still possible to find and install those old drivers even if they are not officially supported. So only distros who are LTS and have kernels who can still be compiled with old drivers will work here, at least till a point when those distros reach end of life too.

dota 2 with the new update has a screwed up and highly unoptimised vulkan implementation. I would really recommend opengl instead. I guess that’s what you already do.

10

You can install Nvidia 340 drivers following this guide: [HowTo] get legacy 340xx NVIDIA drivers back

PS: requires kernel 5.4 to 5.10 not much not less.

11

Alright, I’m back and got Proton to work by reinstalling all the stuff.

Now I’m thinking about these drivers, but I got two, probably stupid, questions:

  1. What’s the chance that installing 340xx will solve Vulkan issues? Your unscientifical guess
    I came up with a thought that I definitely need to try it at least, because OpenGL performance is… at least worse than it was on Windows with DirectX some day. I really want to check out if Vulkan will resolve the performance issues

  2. Do I have to delete 390xx first and install 340xx without desktop environment in console? I can’t see anything about it in a thread you linked to

12

I don’t know, what I know is that 390 is kinda broken in Manjaro.

You can’t install a driver over the other, it will surely block at some point during the process so you’ll need to remove the previous driver this is almost certain.
No need to do that without a desktop environment.

13

Well, I installed 340xx…

Firstly after rebooting I got loads of glitches and artefacts like you get with a burned out gpu, I had been hoping to give sarcastic thanks already, but a double hit on Shift+Ctrl+F12 got everything back to normal.

Then I tried to run DotA 2 with -vulkan launch option, and it did run, but showed that there is OpenGL API is in use. Every attempt trying different options still was leaving me with an OpenGL (and every time it runs in windowed mode despite settings, don’t now why)

And here I decided to check vulkaninfo output and got this:

Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /build/vulkan-tools/src/Vulkan-Tools-1.2.172/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:666:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

Seems like there is no Vulkan support at all in 340xx driver… or there is still a way?

14

Well, a little search gave me info that I should edit nvidia_icd.json file in usr/share/vulkan/icd.d folder, but I do not have that folder…

Also, I try to reinstall vulkan-icd-loader, but I can’t do that either…

sudo pacman -R vulkan-icd-loader

15

You tried to remove it.

16

i don’t know the command for reinstall, so I wanted to remove it first and then install again

17

Well, installing 340xx driver was the stupidest idea after all…

  1. No Vulkan Support for this driver, so how could it solve Vulkan issues? No Vulkan - no problem?

  2. This driver is ABSOLUTELY terrible. Everything is buggy and glitchy now in system, website scrolling sometimes goes like separated vertical parts moving unsynchronized, and the FPS in games go like below 10 on every graphical intensive actions (like explosions, etc.).

Worst advice during my Linux life.

19

Plain wrong

Wrong again
GT630, ~635, ~640, ~640M, ~710, ~720, ~730, ~740, ~740A, ~745A are supported by 460.67

So here’s the real lesson, check your facts and drop the combativeness especially when you have just joined a forum.

Sorry for not verifying every aspect of your technical issue, and suggesting a solution. You wasted what? 5 minutes to type three commands and reboot? And you have to make it that big of a deal for trying the solution? :yawning_face: OK cool story. You will not go far here with that attitude…

//EDIT: and I read again the thread, it was pretty clear to me that my suggestion was just that:

340 was the easy quick test (5 minutes top, and no manual compilation every Manjaro update), you did it, it didn’t give expected results, move on. Try other suggestions.
