And what is the output of pacman -Q | grep -A 0 -E "(nvidia|vulk|mesa)" ?

Looks good up so far.

prime-run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" should reveal if the prime render offloading is working properly and uses the dGPU instead of the iGPU.

prime-run vulkaninfo should tell if vulkan is adressing the dGPU properly.

Additionally, you don’t have the lib32-mesa-utils installed. Which is only an inconsistency I would change.

As an alternative to the prime render offloading, there is also the option to use the vulkan-mesa-layers I think.

Last but not least, in case the prime-run commands are working, you should be able to enable it in lutris via these steps :

1. Edit the configuration (in lutris, for the game launcher, right click menu)
2. Switch to the system option tab
3. Enable  advanced options (toggle switch in the top right) 
4. "Enable NVIDIA prime refer offload" = on
5. Vulkan ICD loader = Nvidia proprietary

the output is very big so I will use pastebin

I mostly game on Steam, either that or HGL, Lutris is for games that have Lutris installers and/or officially dead, like also RisingHub, games that have Lutris installers are like TauriWOW

You could ignore the warnings vulkan is generating.

With lutris and the changes to the configuration as I’ve written, it should run.
Than it should be a question which runner you’re using. But lutris or vulkandb should provide the required info.

prime-run won’t affect vulkan applications, only opengl ones (out of the box at least, I reconfigured mine) when nvidia proprietary drivers are installed, all vulkan applications automatically run on the nvidia gpu.

Also warnings are generally safe to ignore, it’s errors you gotta keep an eye out for.

Tauri … what ?!

For steam games, in the launch options it should be either primusrun %command% or the same prime-run %command%.

bargo · December 9, 2024, 5:58pm

Tauri WoW, a Hungarian Blizzlike private server for WoW (World of Warcraft)

hi,
since Steam shows a lot of trouble without a clear log, I tried with HGL, I used Proton-GE 8.3 & the game is AC Mirage, here’s the log (Pastebin even though that it’s not so long): https://pastebin.com/8CbQwc0t

winnyace · December 15, 2024, 5:57pm

What does vulkaninfo --summary show?

1093i3511 · December 15, 2024, 5:59pm

Try to launch it within steam with Proton-GE 8.3 in compatibility mode and the launch options prime-run DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=info PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

edit: forgot the prime-run part…

What does pacman -Qs nvidia show?

bargo · December 15, 2024, 6:01pm

it is currently with Proton-GE 8.3 with the prefix VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation PROTON_LOG=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=info PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

Hmm… what about prime-run glxinfo -B?

And to that prime-run vulkaninfo --summary.
