Hello there, I have an Intel Arc iGPU and Intel core Ultra 7 155H cpu.. I play The Finals and windoes used to give me 50 fps but it felt like my pc was gonna explode.. so i switched to omarchy, and it used to give me 60 fps with smooth gameplay but omarchy was generally buggy so i switched to ZORIN now enough of yap my issue is WHY is my gpu not working in steam, I installed steam nativly (apt from store) and for some reason it shows gpu is at 0% and the game then runs at 20 to 25 fps. Anyone know a fix?
Your Intel Arc iGPU requires several components to work with Steam and games
Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install intel-level-zero intel-metrics-discovery intel-igc-core intel-igc-opencl intel-ocloc intel-xpu-ocloc
It says:
E: Unable to locate package intel-level-zero
E: Unable to locate package intel-igc-core
E: Unable to locate package intel-igc-opencl
E: Unable to locate package intel-xpu-ocloc
also my kernel is 6.17.0‑35
but ai says thats bad as my arc igpu is unstable with it and it recommends me to switch back to 6.9.x or 6.8.x , should i do it?
I made a typo sorry,
sudo apt update
sudo apt install intel-level-zero intel-metrics-discovery intel-igc-core intel-igc-opencl intel-ocloc intel-xpu-ocloc
if it doesn't work do this
wget -qO - https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/intel-graphics.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/ubuntu noble main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-gpu.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install intel-level-zero intel-metrics-discovery intel-igc-core intel-igc-opencl
no worries i alr knew that, i did it it gave me the above error.
Hey it still doesnt work..
It gives me this error:

after this
sudo apt update
and this
apt-cache search intel-level-zero

did it.. after sudo apt update
it gave:

then it said

so is it done? why did it say skipping?
OK great, do that
sudo apt install intel-level-zero-gpu intel-level-zero-gpu-dev intel-metrics-discovery mesa-vulkan-drivers libvulkan1
yo it worked, its done downloading.. what next? should i sudo reboot?
yeah reboot and try 
alr twin tysm!
After restart, run:
clinfo
This should show your Arc GPU listed. If you see your GPU information, the drivers are working.
Then also check:
vulkaninfo | grep "Device Name"
If your Arc GPU appears here too, Vulkan is working.
Hey its not working, i ran my game and it still runs on low fps
i did the cmds
achi@amb:~$ clinfo

ICD loader properties
ICD loader Name - OpenCL ICD Loader
ICD loader Vendor - OCL Icd free software

achi@amb:~$ vulkaninfo | grep "Device Name"
WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -9 from call to vkCreateInstance in ICD libvulkan_dzn.so. Skipping this driver.
I just realized this issue is only on Steam..
Roblox and Mc work fine and give more fps than they used too
Also i am using ARC iGPU its integrated, just wanted to clear things out ._.
