I have been experiencing minor graphical issues on several Steam games. I have only encountered issues through Steam. GOG games launched through Heroic and Lutris seem to work flawlessly. I am using Arch Linux and my GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. I’d be grateful for any help
Tried without mangohud, gamemode and/or gamescope? Also try turning off steam overlay, that should be the primary difference between steam and gog games, bar drm.
ISTR having some hallucinogenic colour issues when Vulkan wasn’t properly installed.
I installed the packages vulkan-radeon and lib32-vulkan-radeon just in case. Now I’m just getting a black screen with this game. I’ll keep testing.
Update: I removed those packages as they made everything worse and even broke several other games.
Apparently it’s playable once you get into the game. That’s if you’re willing to blindly fumble through menus. I am not and I imagine most are not.
Maybe it’s playing a video in the background while on the menu? Then it could be a problem with codecs. Have you tried GE-Proton by any chance? It has media-foundation codecs builtin
It might not be the answer, but I have had some games do very weird shit in the past (AMD GPU as well but on Windows). I found out that some games really don’t like if you have applied AMD settings that override the game’s graphical settings. Do you just have the AMD kernel driver, or have you installed the one with the Adrenalin from the AMD site? If you installed the Adrenalin software, you might want to try setting all the options for the game to only use game settings and not allow the AMD software to take over. If it is the one that ships with the kernel, then I am not sure how to change stuff that might be trying to override the game. Maybe see if there is a Proton version that might be better?
I am using the open source amdgpu driver. It’s the one that’s built into the kernel. I have tried multiple different versions of Proton both official and unofficial. I think this game is cursed to never work without trippy menus.
Math probably.
Try forcing Proton Experimental, see if that makes a difference.
I tried that along with GE Proton to no avail sadly.
While I’m unfamiliar with Arch I am with steam.
Use custom commands to launch! If it’s working just fine on heroic launcher you can actually add the game into your launcher its known to work in like for instance heroic launcher games can be added to steam just do the reverse.
I’d look into the log file which requires a command in steam to see and look what error its throwing that’ll nail it down exactly then you know what to do to fix the issue.
To do this you have to manually add the custom command under your specific game in the steam, game, cog wheel, properties maybe, then you’ll find a tab called commands or something it’s just a single line text box. Add this exactly. PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
The file should go to your home folder somewhere you’ll have to look possibly under steam folder. There’s all kinds of these steam commands online for every issue so if this tells you nothing simply look for steam commands based on your issue and run a few till you nail it down. Best of luck! You can fix this!
FYI AMD is usually rock solid Nvidia is where a lot of issues come in, so its not your hardware so don’t trip on that. All AMD for the win. I have a 6700xt as well so I’m usually spot on with knocking out bugs.
Interesting, playing Return to Moria. I’ve had a similar graphic glitch but it only happens when alt tabing and clicking on my other monitor or back to game. And it’s only a flash, milliseconds. I play fullscreen window. Arch, AMD 580, open source driver
If there anything related to amdgpu in output of
sudo dmesg?I’ve got the same gpu and never seen this
