Hello! I've tried a bunch of games but they're just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they're working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don't require GPU work fine too with version 8.

Proton 8 requires vulkan 1.3 compatibility. I'm guessing the drivers you're using (or maybe the drivers nvidia has published?) don't have support for it.

In the proton logs it says "info: Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported". Does this seem like a problem?

I'm using it inside bottles in a flatpak shouldn't it be setup automatically? Thought it's not working natively either. How do I check for the vulkan version?

Run this command to see what version of the vulkan API you're on: vulkaninfo | head -n 5

The MX 130 does have Vulkan 1.3 support according to the specs. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-mx130.c3043
