Hello and thanks if you take the time to read and answer.
Fresh install of Manjaro, updated and ready to roll, I want to come back to GNU/Linux now that is mature for gaming.
Long story short
I’ve been using GNU/Linux since Slackware 8.0 came out (i believe it was 2001 or something like that.
Hopping distros here and there when i finally settled for ARCH around 2011, then due to work/life occurences i had to use windows.
Stuck with it for the time being.
All that to say, i’m not a newcomer and i know my way around the system, the shell and all the amenities that GNU/Linux brings differently from windows.
Hence i know how to ask for help (or i hope so)
First of all some info:

According to common sense, i should be able to run wine and associated programs using the AMD card, right?
Yet anytime i launch wine, or skyrim or anything with wine, the output of the shell is:
…
MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
…
For example, was trying to prepare a WINEPREFIX to run skyrim (and have a WINEPRERFIX separated for every game, to tidy them up) using the command:
DRI_PRIME=1 WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/-redacted-/Games/.wine/skyrim wine wineinit
which gives me:
…
MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
…
What I have tryed (without success so far):
- Ignore that output, prepare my WINEPREFIX and launch the .exe
- Using PlayOnLinux using the systemwide wine
- Using PlayOnLinux using an alternative custom wine downloaded by the application
- Using Lutris with all the settings correctly put
- Search for 2 days straight using google to see if all the settings on Lutris were correct
At this point i don’t know what else to try.
EDIT: I can confirm it’s a WINE issue:
- created another WINEPREFIX specifically for World of Warcraft 3.3.5 (i play on a private server)
- launched Wow.exe in that WINEPREFIX
same result
whille ANY other program that isn’t WINE does use the AMD GPU
