What have you tried, and in what way did it not work?
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
@J. King Simply, when using Proton Experimental, the game goes wrong and crashes.
@J. King I've tried other versions as well, but the result is always the same

Isn't that an EA App game?
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Yes, it is
I install it with steam
absent-sapphire•2y ago
I thought you were trying to run it in Heroic
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
@"Leopard" I put the non-heroic tag on purpose
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Then put
PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to game launch options in Steam, run the game, this will create a log in your home dir with game appid

Uhm
Ok
I need to power on my pc
But
I installed the flatpak version of steam, is it the same?
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Yes
It should be like that still
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ok
Where is dir?
P.S. I'm reinstalling Spore, as I deleted it five days ago thinking it was a lost cause
It will take eight minutes
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Home partition
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ok
And?
absent-sapphire•2y ago
And post the log that would generate there after you've done above
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ok
Five minutes
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ops
Four minutes
Now
One minutes

continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago

absent-sapphire•2y ago

continuing-cyanOP•2y ago

You can three backticks at the beginning and the end to get it into codeblock

Your system is not Vulkan capable, so only way it works is
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% ( remove previous proton log bit from launch options ) if it workscontinuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ah
absent-sapphire•2y ago
But without Vulkan support Linux gaming will be terrible
For Windows only games
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
O crab
Why my PC isn't supported?
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Your gpu is too old so it doesn't support modern apis.
Such as DX12 and Vulkan
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Ehi
Now
With the new command
absent-sapphire•2y ago
And since we all handle/play DX9/10/11 games via Vulkan translation layers it is needed
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
SPORE don't run

Because that cpu should have one
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago

absent-sapphire•2y ago
Same thing
Did you disable it?
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Hmmm
I don't know
absent-sapphire•2y ago
I'm asking because "surprisingly" that igpu should support Vulkan to some extent
While your dgpu can't
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I go to UEFI
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
Now?
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Probably in advanced
But ofc i won't know every uefi interface by heart
continuing-cyanOP•2y ago
absent-sapphire•2y ago
Either in cpu config or onboard devices, might be in platform misc as well
Basically look around

You could also get a Rx 570 for that much actually
You don't need to buy an entirely new computer
Just the GPU needs to be replaced
