Attempting to install Vulkan drivers

[chaoy]

I am trying to play Overwatch on my newly set up system. However, when I try to open the game through Lutris, it says that it can’t find the Vulkan drivers. I tried downloading the drivers from Nvidia here without much luck. When I try to install it gives me an error that I’m running an X server?

I’m running an AMD Ryzen 7 with an Nvidia 1650 if that helps at all. I also tried following the other thread here also without much luck. Any advice?

Did you install vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader nvidia-utils

Edit: Do you already have nvidia drivers installed?
Edit2: Post the link to this command

inxi -Faz --no-host | eos-sendlog

Can you also post inxi -Gx ?

Not quite sure what worked. (Ended up having to do a fresh install for unrelated reasons.) However, if anyone stumbles on this thread, follow the troubleshooting issues under the standard install here It may have helped, but also I’ve read elsewhere that installing steam will install vulkan drivers?

Either way, I appreciate the responses. Sorry for the late reply!
