Interesting I am running it natively so no proton needed.
Wait, what? No man’s sky? Natively?

Nah, check this
On the steam client, top left, click steam → Settings → steam play
The one you posted is to force a specific proton version for a title, or to force a title to use the windows version. I play borderland 2 windows version for instance because for some reason it runs better than the linux version, and has more DLC.
Those are global settings, he means per-game setting, click right mouse button on game
Oh that’s right I forgot i set that: So 6.3-7
Yes, I know, but if the game doesn’t have specific settings it uses the global settings, no man’s sky doesn’t have a native linux version.
It sure would’ve been awesome to have it run natively.

Proton experimental is really only for a handful of games.
Yeah, but I really use compatibility for each specific title. In NMS case I tried quite a few different versions of proton. On mint it runs perfectly with 4.11-13 on my pc, other versions won’t let me use multiplayer.
On my endeavour installation it just… Well, you know.
Maybe I can fetch some data from my mint installation to figure out what might be different? What would I have to find?
So, my wild guess is that maybe the gpu drivers are not working as well as they could, so I went and checked the arch wiki about it.
I found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Loading
Si U went and checked /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and, under modules, there’s nothing. The line just says MODULES=""
I didn’t edit anything just yet because I’m not sure if I should.
I also checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf but the file doesn’t exist. Again I didn’t edit anything, because I don’t know if the wiki is outdated or something, so before progressing further I’ll check here for opinions.
20-amdgpu doesn’t exist on default and isn’t needed.
You also shouldn’t need mkinitcpio edits as RDNA GPU use amdgpu driver on default.
I noticed you have a black magic card. You don’t happen to be using workarounds to run davinci with the radeon-pro driver? I notice ati is also loaded not just amdgpu
NMS likes RADV, Running from an SSD, and Proton 4.11-13.
BTW after you first run it with 4.11 you can swap to newer proton and MP works. Its just fails to install needed bit if run with 5.0+ first
Yeah its not native, but hello games does do proton specific fixes when needed which is great
So, got it running, I didn’t think to come here to update because the interest seemed to be fading and didn’t think there would be interest.
To answer your posts Echoa: Yeah I do have a black magic, but I don’t use davinci, not yet at least, I may have to if I decide to edit videos. Unless there’s better options.
So no workaround there.
The problem in the end of the day was the drivers. I solved it by adding the following line:
AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV %command%
To the launch options of the game.
I ended up uninstalling the other drivers, here’s hoping it wasn’t a mistake but so far so good.

Oh that’s cool, I didn’t realize. I’ll switch to a newer version then, thanks!
If you had any of the proprietary andgpu/amdgpu-pro bits installed that would be necessary. If not its supposed to use radv on on default
