What stopped working:
- GzDoom (native, black screen after choosing .wad)
- Orcs Must Die 1 & 2 (proton, either doesn’t launch at all, or launches with severe graphical issues such as the menu and buttons missing or the whole thing being pink and green)
- serious sam tfe, tse; painkiller black (wine via either bottles or pol, extreme speedup every 5 seconds)
- luxor 3 (bottles, crashes on launch)
- hotline miami 2 (proton, crash on launch)
- lego indy 2 (bottles, sound effects at 150% loudness)
most of these worked previously, but seemingly broke out of nowhere, unless driver or kernel updates wrecked thwm, but if that is the case i haven’t the faintest clue on how to troubleshoot that besides trying every previous kernel i can still download.
Device: Legion 5-15, 16gb ram, radeon 5 4600, nvidia rtx 3060 mobile, newest version of mint and newest LTS kernel. LUKS partition. I’ll add more info when i get home.
So, tl;dr:
- how to troubleshoot proton games
- how to troubleshoot wine games in bottles and pol
- how to prevent games breaking out of nowhere in the future
What are you using to switch the GPU? Have you tried alternatives? EnvyControl for example.
Also, have you checked if you’re using ONLY Radeon-Vulkan for the AMDGPU, and not AMDVLK also?
No clue, since mint cinnamon (afaik) doesn’t have a GUI for managing gpu drivers i don’t know how to approach it.
Can you simplfy the issue by disabling the nvidia in bios?
