Hey everyone!
So, today I was playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 in Ultra (in Manjaro and W10 I used Ultra and it ran smoothly) but the game was laggy. I’m using the Nvidia Graphics Card and I think the drivers are updated (Yesterday I followed a tutorial here on how to set up the Nvidia and Intel GPUs to work fine with Optimus Manager).
Can someone help me finding what’s wrong?
Thanks a lot! 
My system:
For starters - check requirements, you must have missed some vulkan stuff i assume 
Do I need to install any vulkan packages? I’m sorry, I’m still new around here 
Also, every time the game starts Steam says it’s processing Vulkan shaders so…
Please read the link i’ve provided for requirements section 
There’s a list of stuff you need
Oh sorry I didn’t notice that was a hyperlink
Ok so all Vulkan libraries were installed, I just reinstalled them. Should I try with Proton now?
Depends on what you want 
You haven’t mentioned if you play Native / Steam with Proton or Wine…
But assuming it’s Steam - yes, try Proton it will most likely be better than native, if this game is native
Sorry, forgot it!
Using Steam (Native) and the game is also the Native version. I’ll try that!
Yep, many people report better performance with Proton for that game
PS : Neofetch isn’t too helpful for information…

For terminal output, text output with special characters, always use code wrapping (Pre-formated text).
Select all of the text and do one of these:

Much more helpful!
Got it! Thanks!

Ok, just going to use this topic:
What’s the difference between Steam (Native) and Steam (Runtime)?
Yes! I wasn’t using Proton on the first place because I had an issue with Plasma and Proton games where the game would be almost unplayable, but looks like that was fixed!
