Hello, I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to post this, but I am having an issue with steam, when I try to open some games, I get this error:
Some games do work, like Celeste, but some don't, like Rain World or Wobbledogs.
Here are my specs (pasted from neofetch):
Host: Latitude E6540 01
DE: GNOME 43.9
CPU: Intel i7-4600M (4) @ 3.600GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon HD 8790M
GPU: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor
I am also on Wayland if that matters.
Here's the process I went through troubleshooting (bit of a yapathon):
When I first got this error, I thought that I might not have dxvk installed, so, I installed proton tricks and tried to install it. I got these errors:
Seeing this, I decided to check if my GPU has Vulkan drivers. I didn't find out about anything, however. I also tried to install amdvlk but that didn't do anything. (I might've not done it right, i'm not sure.)
Given my failures, I sat on it for a while...
Later, due to an unrelated problem, (steam web helper crashing) I started steam from the command line. Looking at what logs it gave out, I noticed something in its output:
MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete
Realizing this might help with my other problem, I searched what Haswell meant. I saw that it was the name of the fourth-gen of intel processor. I recalled that neofetch said I have two GPUs, one of which being
GPU: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor
So, I searched up how to start steam using the Dedicating GPU.
I then started steam using the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" in the right click context menu. Unfortunately, the same error occurred. I also tried doing the same for proton tricks to no luck.
The last thing I tried was to add DRI_PRIME=1
to the games launch options, still didn't work.
TLDR:
I tried to install dxvk through proton tricks, then I checked if my GPU has vulkan drivers, I didn't find out about anything. I tried to start steam using my Dedicated GPU through GNOME, then I tried to add DRI_PRIME=1
to my launch options, to no avail.
If there is anything I can do about this, if its a hardware or a steam issue, or whatever else, please let me know!
