I'm using GE-Proton8-19, Vulkan 1.3.264 and Nvidia 535.113, and everything's working perfectly fine. Manjaro btw.
How do I check for/install the latest vulkan drivers in kde Neon?
vulkaninfo --summarySays: Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.204
Also nvidia driver version: 535.113.01
Sounds like a good combo, should be working fine. I'm assuming you're trying to run Steam games, right? Perhaps restart Steam as well so it updates itself, and perhaps reboot if you've updated any of these recently.
No, I'm using bottles. And the proton 8 versions haven't been running from the very beginning. I've tried a lot of things but nothing's worked. Also tried it in Heroic launcher but soon as I check the dedicated GPU option proton silent crashes without even starting.
OK but what I mean is, are you running Steam games with it? Because Proton is only meant to be used with Steam games, and GloriousEggroll has been going blue in the face over the years warning people about it. GE-Proton expects certain stuff that's only present in Steam games. It will probably work 9 times out of 10 with non-Steam games but it's not a given.
If they're not Steam games you want Wine-GE instead of GE-Proton, it has the same stuff that GE puts in their version of Proton. If you use ProtonUp-Qt it will let you very easily manage GE runners for Steam, Lutris and Bottles.
Proton Ge 7 and below work just fine so idk why it shouldn't and none of the wine variants 8 and up are working, I've tried all of the available ones in bottles. I've tried in Heroic launcher too. I'll try using protonUP. Thanks for the advice!
3070, driver version 535.113.01, kubuntu, GE-Proton8-20 works fine.
Could it be that I have an older GPU? It's an MX 130. I haven't been able to run any versions 8 and up in any wine variant.
As in a GeForce MX 130? That's from 2017, which is elderly by computer hardware standards, but I'm not aware of a specific reason why it wouldn't work. It supports DirectX 12, at least
Yup that's the one.
Sorry, no idea... I don't know anything about that gpu, never heard of it.
It's a laptop GPU from 2017.
Are you sure you are using the nvidia GPU? If your laptop has an iGPU i could be defaulting to running on that.
Yes I'm quite sure. I have a kde widget for it. It kicks up when I'm playing games.
Are you using LTS or non LTS version?
Kubuntu 23.10
