Ah, Proton 7 didn’t seem to help, but I haven’t tried using older drivers yet, I should probably try that next! Thanks!

Ah it did indeed show much more info! I could pick out two things that seemed like error messages, I’ll search the internet for them later but gotta run for Christmas celebration in a minute.

When starting Steam it told me “unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan” and “BInit - unable to initialize Vulkan!”, which sounds potentially serious.

On trying to start the games (and maybe at other occasions too) it told me

Glib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_setting_schema_source_lookup: assertion ‘source != NULL’ failed

I’ll look into them when I get the time, but I wanted to write them here anyway for completeness. Thank you for your help!

I haven’t tried a natively supported game, I’ll go ahead and see if I can do that.

I have tried updating the Nvidia drivers. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by recommended diagnostics problem? Thank you for the tips!

Thanks, it indeed says driver=nvidia!

ProtonDB is great, I did look at it which is why I expected to be able to run those games! Even people on protonDB that had to tinker to get it working seemed to at least be able to start the games, so I couldn’t find anyone with problems matching my case. Thanks for the tip though! If I don’t manage to figure it out with all help in this thread I might try one of the gaming distros :)

It’s a desktop! Dual-booted

I’ve heard that League is usually problematic on Linux, but it’s not a deal breaker, my computer is dual booted anyway so I could always play it on Windows.

All the games, League aside, are purchased through Steam. I have only tried these games I mention, since they are the only games I’ve been playing since I set up my Linux partition, but since not a single one of them worked at all I have assumed that’s it’s probably not the games that are the problem.

Nvidia-smi confirms I’m using 545.29.06. About Vulkan though, i l noticed now that when I launch Steam through the terminal it says “unable to enumerate GPUs with Vulkan” and “Unable to initialize Vulkan”. Could maybe that be the source of the issue then? Thanks a lot for your help either way!

Yeah, my Linux partition is Ext4! I have dual-booted my computer since I didn’t trust myself to get Ubuntu up and running quickly, haha.

Ah, good point, I really should keep that mind when I reach level 9, that sounds really fun. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, I’ve only looked briefly so far but it does seem like an interesting read!

Ahh, okay! Our Warlock has some utility, but it does feel like we could use more of that, maybe that’s something I should look more into! I think perhaps I haven’t been thinking much about control, but we’ve had a few rough fights recently and I realise now that it actually could be very useful. Just recently a couple enemies ran away to get reinforcements, if I hadn’t only been thinking about damage I could have maybe put them to sleep. Really thanks a lot!

Thank you, that sounds like some very good advice! I’ll have to take a closer look at the spell list, I think it’s just like you say and that I’ve been focusing too much on the combat spells. I’m a Tiefling with Urchin background in case that gives any more context :)
