Rimworld GOG on 'GE-Proton-latest'

I'm using Heroic Launcher for the first time and I'm trying to launch Rimworld using app but crashes, I also tried other WINE versions but they still crash, but here's the log for the latest Proton build https://0x0.st/Kz1q.log

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Driver-support Update your Nvidia drivers, ideally to the latest 580 branch

If you are using flatpak heroic, update flatpaks after updating the gpu driver.

CommandMC•2w ago

You can see this in the log actually:

We are not running inside a Flatpak container

Ahh. (I am on my phone, and the only thing I have on it to open text files is totalcommander. Since one of the functions of the support area is searching, having this here to cover the bases is still useful, but yes. I did not read the log.) Lol! Also, my employer's firewall kills the pastebin-alike the log was upped to. (It kills 3/4s of the internet, actually. Anything 'not in the usa' gets blocked by default. While I am the IT guy here, I do not set this policy. So, i'm stuck with it.)

i'm using lmde and installed the launcher through .deb sorry for the late reply I was occupied also how do i reliably update my nvidia driver? this is my current version 535.247.01

eager-peach•2w ago

Is this an ubuntu based distro?

fair-roseOP•2w ago

that would be default linux mint, i'm using the debian edition

eager-peach•2w ago

Debian is 'foss only, unless you manually intervene', so updating the driver requires manual prodding on the console. though it looks like Mint has decided to make that saner and easier. I am seeing recommendations to use the 'Driver Manager'.

fair-roseOP•2w ago

yeah, driver manager doesn't exist in Debian, I installed the drivers using cli but it only installed up to the version I mentioned I'm worried that forcing to upgrade it to the suggested version will introduce incompatibilities I rolled back to 10-1 and now i'm getting this error directly: Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration in display settings. InitializeEngineGraphics failed and i tried rolling back to 9-27, and now the game launches

CommandMC•2w ago

Not upgrading will introduce incompatibilities as more and more software requires up-to-date drivers

fair-roseOP•2w ago

I'd love to if I can figure out how 🥲

You want to follow the "Network Repository Installation" there, skip "Local Repository Installation" So TLDR:

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo add-apt-repository contrib
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian12/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt -V install cuda-drivers

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo add-apt-repository contrib
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian12/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt -V install cuda-drivers

eager-peach•2w ago

The cuda driver? Why? Are we mining bitcoin? 😛 Maybe using a local LLM?

CommandMC•2w ago

cuda-driver pulls in nvidia-driver along with some other packages. It's the package Nvidia says to use, so I figured I'd use it

fair-roseOP•2w ago

everything was alright until the last command, Unable to locate package cuda-driver idk if i mentioned it already or if the log does but i'm using a 1050ti so i tried using cuda instead and it wants 7GB out of my system i might've done something different when i first tried to install my drivers because i wasn't in the nvidia docs i'll figure this out but thanks for providing the link and helping, i appreciate it rn it works on an earlier version of proton-ge so i'll stick with that for now so update, i purge my current driver installation and installed the drivers using sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree and rebooted and now i can actually run the game using the latest proton branch

fair-roseOP•2w ago

however, is this performance normal for the game?

CommandMC•2w ago

What does sudo apt update say right now?

fair-roseOP•2w ago

sorry, i didn't see the message but here

fair-roseOP•2w ago

@CommandMC

CommandMC•2w ago

Right, and what does apt-cache policy cuda-driver say?

fair-roseOP•2w ago

CommandMC•2w ago

Edit: Oh, found the issue. It's cuda-drivers, not cuda-driver

fair-roseOP•2w ago

wait what so i do apt-cache with that?

CommandMC•2w ago

The package name is cuda-drivers (with an s at the end), I misread the name in the docs So you can just install that (sudo apt install cuda-drivers)

fair-roseOP•2w ago

alright, i'll try that also i can't use nvidia-smi for some reason, is that alright? wait nvm it works after i installed the cuda-drivers i'll just reboot

CommandMC•2w ago

Yup sounds good You should now be on driver version 580.65.06, right? (you can confirm with nvidia-smi)

fair-roseOP•2w ago

thank you so much for putting up with my problem

fair-roseOP•2w ago

we are so back

CommandMC•2w ago

No problem at all I assume your game(s) now run as you'd expect?

fair-roseOP•2w ago

yeah, it does
