Hi All,

I get an infrequent error when playing balder gate 3 on Fedora Workstation 40. I run it in direct x11 as vulkan crashed all the time. Any ideas how to fix?

PS very new to Linux/GNU so let me know if you need any additional information.

    I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0

    After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently

      Try using Protonup-QT to install the latest GE-Proton version on your machine, restart Steam and then set the game to run with GE-Proton.

      Personally it usually works for me with Experimental, but GE is generally the best.

        This. A fresher Proton-GE is also going to come with a newer DXVK, the DirectX to Vulkan translator.

        The other part of your equation is “what is the Nvidia driver version?”. Dunno if Fedora has the E-sync capable version 555 yet.

        I have tried that still same issue. Not sure what is going on its the only game that does this. After more testing it only happens when switching from the game to discord or another app.

      Are you on Gnome, KDE, or some other desktop environment? I know KDE Wayland and Nvidia do NOT play nice (presently).

      Do other games run in general when using Vulkan API? (most modern games on Linux run with Vulkan, whether it’s Wine or native). What’s your NVIDIA driver version? Did you even install akmod-nvidia?
