My GPU doesn't appear

Hello everyone, I'm using Fedora Workstation and was playing Fallout 3 without any problems. I hadn't played for about two weeks, and today, when I tried to play, I noticed the game was running quite poorly. Using MangoHud, I realized the GPU usage was at 0%, and in the game's initial launcher under the graphics options, my graphics card doesn't appear. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Well, first, logs.

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

But if you have Heroic installed via Flatpak, that sounds like your OS has had a GPU driver update and Flatpak is still using old driver "paks" (I can't remember the correct term).

How are flatpak graphics drivers handled?

Flatpak needs its own graphics drivers because it’s containerized, but do the flatpak drivers need to be the same version as the ones installed on the system or can they differ? Can you use a distribution with older drivers, i.e. Debian and be able to use the latest ones via flatpak? Does the answer apply to both AMD and NVIDIA? I have heard co...

If that's the case, running

flatpak update

flatpak update

should take care of it.

The flatpak update says that everything is updated, I think maybe it is something in the last version, since I have an install in another drive that I haven't updated in a long time and my GPU works just fine, but I updated to the last version of heroic and get the same error

Have you rebooted since your last update?

Mmoderate-tomato Have you rebooted since your last update?

awake-maroonOP•1/26/25, 11:45 PM

Yes, when I encountered the error, I updated the entire system, restarted, and kept experiencing the same issue. So, I decided to try a Bluefin installation I hadn’t used in a long time, which was quite outdated. When I started it, it worked fine, but then I updated the version of Heroic, and I immediately had the same error again.

@Lazk3r You should change your Bethesda password immediately, because that log appears to contain credentials.

awake-maroonOP•1/27/25, 12:11 AM

I didn't create a Bethesda account, y just use the epic for that

moderate-tomato•1/27/25, 12:13 AM

The Fallout 3 launcher is writing what appear to be secrets to the log file. I would change your Epic password just to be safe.

awake-maroonOP•1/27/25, 12:15 AM

Ok, I changed my password, thanks

Maybe try umu?

HeroicBotAPP•1/27/25, 3:50 AM

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:

Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
```
current-name
```
```
current-name
```
to
```
current-name_bak
```
```
current-name_bak
```
. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.

That worked, thanks
