Cant use the Nvidia GPU

I have a laptop, with a integrated GPU (intel UHD) and the nvidia gtx 1650 I play genshin, but it keeps using the intel GPU instead of the nividia one, i tried to change some options in the launcher like adding some arguments to force nvidia gpu but ig it didnt go well or i did it wrong coz the game didnt open after that, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

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

https://0x0.st/KiIo.log everything works fine but its just the gpu

HeroicBot•2w ago

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

(no need to run the vkcube one really)

That log indicates flatpak nv driver is missing so wouldnt flatpak update just resolve it?

CommandMC•2w ago

Assuming their host driver is working correctly, yes

fair-rose•2w ago

But ofc it depends on nvidia-smi Ye

That's why I like to confirm that is the issue before trying to resolve it like that Yup, that's the issue Run flatpak update That should make you install org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-575-64-03 and org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-575-64-03 and remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-247-01 and org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-247-01

is a reboot needed?

CommandMC•2w ago

No You will have to restart any Flatpak apps though Also, you can now manually remove the old drivers with

flatpak remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-247-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-247-01

flatpak remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-247-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-247-01

to save a bit of disk space

fair-rose•2w ago

flatpak uninstall --unused

flatpak uninstall --unused

Imo a better way to handle it

CommandMC•2w ago

In my experience that just ends up doing nothing sometimes, even if an older driver is installed

fair-rose•2w ago

It has this kind of catch ( from my experience ) once every flatpak app is launched with new runtime that command works 🐸 Odd but it worked that way for me

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

hmmm

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

ill send logs https://0x0.st/KiIA.log

fair-rose•2w ago

info: Presenter: Got VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR, recreating swapchain

Now your NV driver works but it seems it has some problems on wsi side

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

hm:thonk:

fair-rose•2w ago

Basically not something any human being here can resolve, only can offer workarounds. It is a windowing problem i think, you got in game, it resized window and boom @CommandMC What was the flatpak command to install gamescope?

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

oh ye it gone boom black flashed a bit then crashed

fair-rose•2w ago

Do you play game in fullscreen? Or windowed mode?

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

full screen

fair-rose•2w ago

Try windowed mode first

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

okay I tried borderless the same happened, I'll restart the game and try windowed

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

same

fair-rose•2w ago

Then wait for commandmc to return so you can try with gamescope

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

okie

fair-rose•2w ago

Until then DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="630" Should make the game run on intel one

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

argument to put in the game settings? the laucher settings

fair-rose•2w ago

Game setting page in heroic, advanced Environment variables DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME is key , "630" is value

CommandMC•2w ago

flatpak install flathub runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope/x86_64/23.08

flatpak install flathub runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope/x86_64/23.08

fair-rose•2w ago

@termnh ^ Do this Restart heroic After that you should have toggle to turn on/off gamescope visible/interactable

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

okay

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

It works so finee Thanks

fair-rose•2w ago

You removed dxvk filter env right?

extended-salmonOP•2w ago

yes

fair-rose•2w ago
