Thinkpad T440p with i7-4910MQ CPU, can't get an old game to run

After providing some basic info with neofetch, I’ll describe my issue.
I bought this laptop with the intentions of upgrading it, the CPU is, from what I’m told, the best I can get for this particular laptop. I fear that the GPU might be a problem though.

I installed a very old game, diablo2, the original, not the remake released recently.
Even before upgrading the cpu any laptop should be able to handle it.

To be noted, I also installed a mod for the game.

When I boot the game I’m greeted with the launcher, then I start the actual game and I get to the login screen. Without even touching anything after a couple of seconds my screen turns black and I’m kicked out back to login, the OS login that is.

I use lutris and with lutris -d > output.txt I managed to get the output, or at least part of it, dunno.

I don’t understand if the issue is with alsa or mesa.
Any clue? Anything I can do at all?

2

Installing the package which contains the file may fix the problem.

sudo pacman -Fy
sudo pacman -F /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so

It didn’t sadly, though I do have sound now.
And I learned something new, didn’t know about pacman -F

The output is now as follows

Any chance using different drivers would help?

4

It looks like you have nouveau drivers installed:

And the game attempts launch with integrated GPU:

Install propriearty drivers for your GPU.

yay -S nvidia-470xx-dkms
5

I imagined the problem might have been my gpu… The thing is, that gpu is pretty bad, and I would much rather use the integrated gpu, is there any way to completely disable the nvdia gpu instead?

6

As far as I understood, the game is already attempting to launch with integrated GPU. The performance of an integrated GPU is almost aleays way lower than discrete GPU, so your GT 730 is not bad compared to Intel integrated.
Please install propriearty drivers, and fall back to nouveau or integrated if that fails.

7

My mistake, I meant I much rather use integrated gpu.
This laptop comes in two version, one with nvidia and another version without it.
Most people get the same CPU I have and play games with it pretty well, I don’t understand how they can if the nvidia gpu is better than the integrated one.
Regardless, I will install the drivers you suggest when I get back home from work, hopefully that will help.

8

Ok that helped, I don’t understand something though.
The version of this laptop that doesn’t have a gpu, how does it run games well with just the cpu?
I’ve seen people running fairly recent games too on this laptop with just a few upgrades.

I know this is likely a super ignorant question, borderline stupid question even, but can the gpu and integrated add up and work together?

9

I don’t think that is possible.
