hogwarts legacy very poor performance

I recently switched to linux mint and i'm trying to run hogwarts legacy (bought in epic games store) via heroic. The game launches but when i open system monitor and radeontop the cpu and gpu usage is almost zero it also crashes when playing for a while. I have a 265k and a 7900xt.

launch.log

Solution:

just had to put DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT instead of DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=7900xt...

remove these Add DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="7900XT"

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

how do i do that

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Same way you added other env variables before?

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

oh wait never mind i get it had a brain fart "failed to initialize DirectX 12. Graphics drivers may require an update, or graphics adapter may not be supported."

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

You simply miss driver then.

How did you try to install driver before? inb4 amd official website

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

$ amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation -y --vulkan=pro --opencl=rocr

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

yep, you screwed your driver setup Default installed Mesa drivers are the ones that AMD and Intel users should use.

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

I was trying to get HIP working in blender wich does work now, but apparently that broke them for this

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

yup Fwiw such stuff is lots easier on arch based distros

i reverted back to the default drivers but i still get the dx12 error when using DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="7900XT" without it it does lauch but still has poor performance

Post inxi again

It seems nice on this front for now, can you check usr/share/vulkan/icd.d folder And post contents of it

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

names of the files or just all the files

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Names A screenshot would do fine also

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Nice, vulkaninfo --summary > vlk.txt This will create said txt in your home partition

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

vlk.txt

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

It is fine there too. Now close Heroic, do flatpak update After it is done, open heroic again and try again

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

flatpak update says nothing to do

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Then it should have been working. If not, post log again

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

launch.log

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

and this popup

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

home/kenneth/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

home/kenneth/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

Either this location or directly home partition itself should have the real log Steam0 etc in name

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

steam-0.log

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

there is also this log

steam-990080.log

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Hmm, pulling up big guns then Go to Games/Heroic/Prefixes/HogwartsLegacy and delete it

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

home/kenneth/games/heroic/prefixes/default/hogwarts legacy ? or somewhere else i moved it to trash and ran the game again and it just gives the same error

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

steam-0.log

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

steam-990080.log

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

logs seem different though

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Weird Device filter there doesnt work correct Just remove device filter env var It skips 7900xt as well While it shouldnt have

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

how do i remove it

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

💀 Way you added but in reverse

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

oh you mean the dxvk thing 🤦‍♂️

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Yep

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

it launches but has really bad performance

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

also barely uses the gpu

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

steam-0.log

steam-990080.log

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

sudo intel_gpu_top When game is running

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

seems like its at 99%

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

i disabled "use dedicated graphics card" in heroic and now both seem to be idle

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

And still awful perf?

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

yeah

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Weird af but likely correlated to previous other driver install still affects the games some way You are new to Mint and Linux?

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

mint is new to me, i have used ubuntu abd debian for school though. This is a brand new pc and i didnt want to use windows 11

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

You made the wrong distro choice thats all.

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

games launched via steam work fine

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Which game for example?

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

jedi survivor

exotic-emerald•3mo ago

Hmm, that is also UE4 and DX12 Then just try with Appimage heroic Because i assume your steam is not flatpak While your heroic is

xenial-blackOP•3mo ago

k, ill try changing it

Solution

xenial-black•2mo ago

just had to put DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT instead of DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=7900xt works fine now even with flatpak
