Modern GOG Games crash before Main Title screen when launching
Hi, all, I'm new to using Linux in general and wanted to test gaming a bit, especially with GOG games since I have a good amount there, along with Steam. For some reason I haven't been able to launch modern games at all. I tried Mint and now I'm with Ubuntu with the same issue. I even tested a spare laptop I have and same issues there; the problem seems to be with modern games since I tried Roller Coaster Tycoon and that one ran without any issues at all. I then tried Two Point Hospital and Disco Elysium and both crash just after opening but before getting to the Main Menu (both get to the "Loading..." screen). For both, the log file says that it is an issue with the Haswell Vulkan being incomplete but I tried reinstalling the mesa drivers and i386 architecture but still nothing.
I attached both log file for those games; any help I can get would be appreciated it since I am just going over what I've been able to find online, so far.

your hardware is too old to support all the features needed to run games in linux
the main issue is that your integrated GPU does not support the full vulkan API which is required to run direct x games in linux

I was fearing that was the case lol Alright, then, thanks!
Good thing I'll just use the system for backups

yeah even if htis computer worked in windows, its the fact its vulkan implementation is basically non existent .. but it does implement direct x, which is why games work in windows
you could try disabling dxvk and vkd3d
which will use opengl instead, but perf might not be great

Your system has some Vulkan support actually but do you have Vulkan drivers installed, that is the more important part.

🤔 internet said no

MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incompleteInternet says that for Windows Which is correct On Linux they can do up to Vulkan 1.2

afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
Yes
equal-aqua•6mo ago
would be nice if they maybe noted that haha
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
They dont care lol
quickest-silverOP•6mo ago
Yes, I did it through kisak-mesa terminal install, unless there's another way to install those
equal-aqua•6mo ago
eventhen you'd have to run that other version of proton that uses older dxvk right
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
vulkaninfo --summary > log.txt
This would create log in your home dir, drop it here
He uses wine ge 8.26
Which Heroic can look up Vulkan version and install dxvk 1.10.3 instead of latest for those systemsequal-aqua•6mo ago
right

There is also such an option for those users.
https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek
But ofc they have to manually get that.
quickest-silverOP•6mo ago
This should be it, I think
equal-aqua•6mo ago
thats what i was referring to
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
quickest-silverOP•6mo ago
Already at newest version for those
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
Yup, that was an in case you miss anything command as i dont know if that game is 32 bit or 64 bit
Nothing in your log indicates that crash is related to gpu
Looks like missing dependencies more like
equal-aqua•6mo ago
even in a flatpak?
i guess if wine hasnt been installed there could be
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
Might be, i dont use Flatpaks in general so i just go over what i know 🐸
Some deps needs host/guest match, some doesnt afaik
But what are those exactly, i have no idea
quickest-silverOP•6mo ago
Still no dice, but I'm fond of the issue being old hardware requirements
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
Try Proton Sarek as last resort i guess
If that also fails, i dunno what the problem might be
Unless games are on NTFS
equal-aqua•6mo ago
usually the drivers ime
yeah ime wine-ge has reached the point where its starting not to work 🙃
afraid-scarlet•6mo ago
Yep, started using Proton GE with everything non Steam some months back
