Run through Bottles (flatpak) on Fedora Silverblue, AMD GPU, lutris-GE-Proton8-26

edit edit:

  • 6.8.8-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
  • Radeon RX 6700 XT
  • amd-gpu-firmware-20240410-1.fc39.noarch
  • amd-ucode-firmware-20240410-1.fc39.noarch
  • xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu-23.0.0-2.fc39.x86_64

Neither bg3.exe nor bg3_dx11.exe launch the game for me, so I use the LariLauncher.exe.

  • with DirectX11 the game starts but there are bad textures, including on the very first rendered screen.
  • with Vulkan I get this error and the game crashes still at this loading screen.

The launcher complains about data mismatch but Heroic Launcher which I use to download my gog files apparently thinks it is fine. Although, the “Verify and Repair” button takes only couple of seconds.

Any ideas please?

    I will rather skip the Vulkan version then, thank you. I will update the post with version information but how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?

      Since you’re using Fedora Atomic, I’ll give you instructions for rpm-ostree:

      Run rpm-ostree status and find the deployment with the dot to the left of it. Example output:

      State: idle

      First one has a dot next to it, which means it’s the active version. Copy the value after “BaseCommit:” (in my case it is 2f8263a33190c4e1320233aebbdc8f337b0a6abcba371d4870ae43fba33aea62)

      Run rpm-ostree db list <paste commit hash here> | grep amd. Example output (my command was rpm-ostree db list 2f8263a33190c4e1320233aebbdc8f337b0a6abcba371d4870ae43fba33aea62 | grep amd):

      amd-gpu-firmware-20240410-1.fc40.noarch
amd-ucode-firmware-20240410-1.fc40.noarch

      In my case, running the most recent update on Fedora Atomic KDE, it looks like I’m running version 20240410-1 of amd-gpu-firmware. Yours may vary depending on what update you’re on.

        nice write up, thank you!

      how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?

      I don’t know Fedora, but I expect there’s a dnf command that would tell you what package owns the files in /lib/firmware/amdgpu . The version of that package would probably correspond to the upstream firmware version.

      • Para_lyzedEnglish

        Since they’re running Fedora Atomic, the commands are through rpm-ostree, as dnf is disabled. I’ve provided the relevant instructions.
