You've updated your Nvidia drivers (likely with your regular package manager). After that happens, always make sure to run
flatpak update
as well to install the Flatpak counterpart for your new drivernational-goldOP•2mo ago
in driver manager i had the recommended driver nvidia-driver-575-open. tried xserver(open sorce), less lag, but still worse than yesterday. and nvidia 570, very laggy.
whitch should i use?
Last time I had this problem whlie i was lagging with games on heroic, I tried cyberpunk on steam and it worked fine.
Always use the latest driver (right now that's 575)
Did you run
flatpak update
?national-goldOP•2mo ago
yes. nothing to update
Please send the following into this channel:
- A recent game log (with verbose logging enabled), if not sent already
- The output of the following commands:
-
flatpak run --command=vulkaninfo com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl --summary
- flatpak run --command=vkcube com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
- nvidia-smi
- flatpak list --runtime -v

The embed contains instructions on what you should do next
...do you perhaps have embeds turned off (Discord Setttings -> "Chat" -> "Embeds And Link Previews" -> "Show embeds and preview website links pasted into chat")?
The embed should look like this:

ran all at same time. am i supposed to do that?
national-goldOP•2mo ago
and yes show embeded was off
That doesn't seem like its the full output
national-goldOP•5w ago
okey does it have to run awhile? the heroic spinning cube?
Oh, no, just close that with Esc
We're only interested in the terminal output really

how about this
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Well that ain't great
What does your driver manager look like right now?national-goldOP•5w ago

Right, that looks normal
Did you reboot after changing back to 575?
national-goldOP•5w ago
yes
Send in the output of
dmesg
then
(probably gonna be rather long, you can pipe that into a file with dmesg > dmesg_out.txt
)national-goldOP•5w ago
Hm, no mentions of Nvidia at all in there
Seeing a
vga_switcheroo
there; do you have two GPUs in this system?national-goldOP•5w ago
no only the one
So this is a desktop system & you've connected your monitor(s) to your GPU's output ports, right?
national-goldOP•5w ago
yes

Yeah it's like the driver isn't installed at all
What does
apt list --installed | grep nvidia
say?national-goldOP•5w ago
national-goldOP•5w ago
What do you think

These two look odd:
Try uninstalling them I guess?
national-goldOP•4w ago
reinstalled drivers, still not working.
