I’m new to Manjaro and linux and am attempting to run games in my steam. Some games (usually older and what i’d think of having simple graphics - like RimWorld) run with no problems. However, others (for example Gloomhaven) fail to launch. If I force run as Proton experimental the game fails to launch. However, if when messing around with versions some (v7) will give an Error “Failed to initialize player” - “Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed …”.
I was searching the forums and saw in a previous post that the person had some success with updating drivers, but as i have a different setup than them was hoping i could get some guidance from the community so i don’t screw up messing with my drivers.
It is not a Linux native game, so it needs proton/wine to run. Especially DX10/11/12 needs Vulkan on Linux, where DXVK or VKD3D translates DirectX into Vulkan. If your card cannot run Vulkan, then you are mostly out of luck.
