Just tested on Arch, installed nvidia-beta

Was using GE-Proton8-17

Got to the first open area. No missing textures, graphical glitches, nada. Seems to be running well, but didn’t have FPS counter visible to see.

    Oh well, I’ll be happy if I can get 60fps at 1080p. One advantage of an aging rig - it doesn’t have to push as many pixels as a modern monitor would need :)

    Thanks for the help!

      Let us know how your experience goes, would be good to compare PC stats and performance.

        Alas, no joy:

        removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=535.113.01' required by lib32-nvidia-utils

        Basically, the same problem I hit trying it from trizen. And Steam wants lib32-nvidia-utils

        I tried installing nvidia-utils-beta, but that breaks because the old one is needed by nvidia-dkms, and I can’t seem to get yay to consider two packages at once.

        I might jut wait for the full release.

          Just remove utile first, I did and it was fine. Yay -Rns lib32-nvidia-utils

          Then install drivers

            I had to remove Steam before lib32-nvida-utils would go - now Steam won’t reinstall

            [edit]

            Got it with --assume-installed lib32-vulkan-driver

            Let’s see if it works :)

            [edit]

            Nope. Builds shaders (a little too quickly perhaps) and then stops.

            Skyrim still works, which suggests that the problem is with version of proton and environment variables rather than the beta drivers. And at least I’m no worse off than before.

            I might give this another go tomorrow - look at it with fresh eyes and all that.

                I didn’t. Sunday was broken up with all sorts of RL issues, and when I did have time, I spent it on Windows playing the game.

                I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. Proton experimental looks like it should do the job with minimal fuss, assuming everything else is in place. It would be nice to move over fully to Linux. Even if it does mean accepting a lower FPS for a short while.
