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 haven’t tried Baldur’s gate but to get the lord of the rings bfme2 to run I set the runner to wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 and it started working in Lutris.

    I also tested bottles before I moved to Lutris and there should be runner settings for graphics to be translated to Vulkan from directx.
    I am using Linux Mint though which is debian based so idk if you have to do things different for wine in fedora.

      there should be runner settings

      Oh yes, there are! They are all nicely organized, with short description using the Gnome UI language. I prefer Bottles so much to the other launchers but I could get some games to run in the past only using Lutris with its install script database…
