what GPU do you have?

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:06 PM

RX 290 or 390?

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:10 PM

I think that the core to your issue is that your GPU is 11 years old, you're using the radeonradeon driver, and you're on Mint

I can read your log, but it broadly says 290 or 390

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:11 PM

the reason I ask is that the Steam min requirements say RX 380

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:12 PM

besides that, none of those cards support vulkan 1.3, which is used by current versions of DXVK/VKD3D

colossal-harlequin•1/7/25, 8:12 PM

the way we are getting amd information isn't always precise, so that is showing two different gpu's

sacred-emeraldOP•1/7/25, 8:13 PM

yeah this ones pretty old. i was wondering if linux system + gaming would work with this setup

colossal-harlequin•1/7/25, 8:16 PM

your best bet, and there is absolutely no promise that this will work, is to stay on wine-ge and turn off dxvk and vkd3d

again, it will probably not work no matter what you do on linux. gaming on linux requires hardware that's a bit more up to date

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:17 PM

you don't really meet the minimum for this game anyway

nursing-lime•1/7/25, 8:18 PM

or you're just skirting by. don't really know as you didn't answer my question

sacred-emeraldOP•1/7/25, 8:22 PM

hardware on this pc is indeed old. i was just wondering if gaming in general could work with this setup. sorry for not answering the question (im using a RX 290). then ill probably try linux and gaming with my other setup, but thank you guys for the quick response and help

colossal-harlequin•1/7/25, 8:23 PM

it super depends on how old the game is, but most modern games you won't be able to play on this setup

sacred-emeraldOP•1/7/25, 8:25 PM

i tried multiples including Fall Guys, Rocket League etc. only one that worked so far is Civilization vi

colossal-harlequin•1/7/25, 8:26 PM

Rocket League might work without dxvk and vkd3d

sacred-emeraldOP•1/7/25, 8:28 PM

thank you

i will definitely try this!

dry-scarlet•1/8/25, 11:38 PM

in general gaming on linux requires fairly recent GPUs due to the vulkan dependency.. once you hit about 10 years out, even if the hardware is capable of playing a game on windows it often isnt capable on linux due to the vulkan dependency
