Wine DX11 Not Functioning After Upgrading GPU

General Help
1

I recently upgraded the graphics card on my system running ZorinOS, while it seems the new card is running and recognized. When trying to load DX11 wine games on Steam I get the following error:

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

System information:
Old GPU was a nvidia
OS: ZorinOS 16.2
GPU: AMD ATI 0d:00.0 Device 73ff (that's according to neofetch, it's a RX6600XT)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 3.700GHz

Tested games:
Yandere Simluator (lutris)
Overwatch 2 (lutris) (Error here is: "No compatible graphics hardware was found (0xE00701B0))
Slime Rancher 2 (Steam, adding "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" allows game to launch but graphics are bugged out.)

How can I fix or further debug this issue?

Gday @aflyingpumpkin ,

Could you please show the results here for this:

sudo lshw -C display

As you had a Nvidia card, i'd also open "Software & updates" goto the "Additional drivers" TAB If possible unselect/remove the Nvidia driver, If you have a driver in there that suits your card , then select it, a generic choice would be a "X.Org" driver.
You could then run a full update/upgrade.
See if this helps.

Then retry directX, ( i don't use wine/play on linux, but i would assume directX would be maintained/with-in by one of the above?)
Someone that know about wine/etc will help further when their available.

In Steam Settings, also try disabling Vulkan and testing after a reboot.

Another option in Steam Settings is to check if you are launching with OpenGL.

@Ocka sudo lshw -C display:

No drivers appear in additional driver (bar a probably unrelated realtek one.)

@Aravisian I could not find the mentioned options in the settings menu or after looking them up. The closest I could find was disabling Vulkan shader pre-caching (no effect,) and using the -force-opengl launch flag in game-specific settings (on slime rancher 2 using the flag changed the error to: InitializeEngineGraphics failed)

I looked into this and apparently, by default - Vulkan is not enabled using Steam on Linux -a user must enable it manually. So that clears that up.

Correct on this one. But it seems that did not help you any...

EDIT: Searching I came across:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

This, too, must be added to the individual games launch command...
Source:

This is done from Steam >Library > "Game Title" (right click > choose Properties) > General tab > Advanced... launch... modifications (the ellipses are due to me not exactly remembering the full sentence displayed on that option, but it gives you enough of an idea to quickly spot what I am referring to...)

As per my original post:

Slime Rancher 2 (Steam, adding "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" allows game to launch but graphics are bugged out.)

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Ah.. sorry. I even remember seeing that now, but by that point in the thread, I had forgotten.

I will go drink a glass of bleach.

Have you removed the old Nvidia drivers, as there maybe a conflict happening.?
Show the results for these commands please:

@Ocka Sorry for the late response, I went on vacation and was away from my computer for a bit.

$ ubuntu-drivers list

$ ubuntu-drivers devices

Try instead;

sudo apt install inxi
inxi -G

Lets see what it says.

You show as logged in on Wayland.

Turned wayland off, same results in games. Result of command when Wayland is off:

$ inxi -G

Why does it say this?

It should say something with NVidia: Here's mine:

I no longer have a Nvidia card in this system after upgrading it to an AMD card, the fact that it said nvidia at all in the output is concerning.

17

Ah.

Have you uninstalled the nvidia driver yet? If not, this may be the issue.

18

According to software center it should be:

Yes, but you need to do it manually or else it will sit on your computer the driver.

sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*

I ran that command and it removed some packages, though after a restart nothing changed in the output of inxi -G or in the error messages for games.

I'm not expert on AMD or switching cards as I only use Nvida cards. But the sites I have been googling regarding the issue suggest uninstalling the driver before removing nvidia card.
