RDR2 trying to use RAM as VRAM???
Hello, I recently installed Linux Mint 22.02 on my PC (ASUS motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 1600, GTX1060 6GB, 16GB RAM) As for the GPU driver I picked the one labeled "recommended" in LM's driver manager. 550.163.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
I tried importing my installation of RDR2 that I still had from Win10 (via Epic) on a separate drive, the Game was recognised but it wouldn't launch. So I uninstalled it, reinstalled it to the same folder through Heroic, it said failed to install prerequisites but after rebooting and trying again it worked and the game started up. I closed again, imported my saves, all is well.
As I went to check the graphic setting I noticed that I could switch "graphic adapters" or something like that? the labels were just 0 and 1, but I noticed one of them gave me 16GB of VRAM...that doesn't sound right. Presumably it's my regular motherboard RAM?
So I set it to the option that gave me 6GB VRAM, adjusted the graphics pretty much all the way up, and ran the game. It worked, a bit less smooth than I was used to but in principle it worked. The resource calculator tool in the graphic menu showed me just over 4GB being used in total. Occasionally though the audio would glitch a bit and give a short buzz. So I went to check the nvidia website and looked up my GPU there. The driver I had installed wasn't shown in their list of available drivers at all, instead the first one on the list was 580.95.0-0ubuntu0.24.04.2. I picked that one in the Linux Mint driver manager, rebooted and started RDR2 again but this time the window wasn't fullscreen and I couldn't scale it, it took forever to load story mode and I got north of 90% RAM usage. Shut the PC down and rebooted once again, and checked the graphic settings in the main menu of the game.
