Game (Nightingale) won't launch after switching to Intel Arc A750 (Rocky Linux + Heroic + Wine/Proto
Hi everyone,
I'm having a persistent issue launching Nightingale after switching my GPU to an Intel Arc A750.
I'm using Rocky Linux, launching the game via Heroic Games Launcher with Wine-GE/Proton + DXVK/VKD3D.
Here’s my latest log file for reference:
🔗 https://0x0.st/KeDD.log
🔍 What I’ve tried so far:
Fully wiped and reinstalled Heroic, including all prefixes and configs
Removed all NVAPI/NVIDIA-related environment variables:
DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI
DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS
Tested different Proton / Wine-GE versions
Verified only the Intel Vulkan ICD is being used (intel_icd.x86_64.json)
Updated system: using the latest available kernel, Mesa, and Vulkan packages
Started the game with minimal environment and no overlays
Tried setting custom variables like FORCE_VK_VENDOR=-1 (no change)
DXVK/VKD3D appears to initialize, but the game never fully launches
❗ Observations:
The game reaches a certain point during startup but then just hangs
No clear crash or error like VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST or vkCreateDevice failed
Vulkan is detected; GPU (Arc A750) is listed correctly
No meaningful output that shows where it actually fails
Might be Vulkan extension compatibility or Wine/VKD3D edge case with Intel?
🙏 What I need help with:
Does anyone have a working config for Intel Arc GPUs on Linux with Proton?
Are there recommended environment variables or DXVK/VKD3D versions for Intel GPUs?
Should I spoof GPU vendor using something like FORCE_VK_VENDOR?
Is this a known issue with Intel Arc and certain Proton/DXVK versions?
Any hints from my log that I might be missing?
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated! I’m happy to provide additional logs or test whatever you suggest. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Stop with AI stuff blud
Did it work on same Proton and same system before that only Arc going in causes the issue is a fact or not?
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
Yes it Worked on the Same System and the Only Thing Changed it the GPU from a AMD RX560 to a Intel Arc A750. Booarderland 2 & 3 also dont seem to have any issues runnig in Steam(Boaderlands 3) and in Heroic (Boarderlands 2)
And my Boarderlands 3 is Running with DX12 While Nightingale is giving me the following Error Messeage:
DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.

Good, then first you ought to try with a newer driver.
However i dont know what does Rocky Linux ships as newer than 25.0.7, can you post this output?

Sometimes on some distros inxi is a bit broken
Can you do
flatpak updatestormy-goldOP•4w ago
Had to get it via „get“
implicit-lime•4w ago
Should up to you to some newer mesa flatpak wise
Instead of 25.0.7 one
Oh wait no
Your host has actually an older driver
Lol
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
Nope it dose not
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
I dont even know why thats a bog standart Rocky Gnome install
implicit-lime•4w ago
Maybe because Rocky linux is not meant to be end usering much?
Anyways, i have like literally zero info/knowledge about Rocky
So not sure what can you do there
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
Might be but is the Only one that run without Strange issues.
implicit-lime•4w ago
As opposed to?
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mint
implicit-lime•4w ago
All bad choices except Fedora
May i introduce you to our saviour CachyOS or EndevaourOS?
🐸
At least then you would be in a position much easier to help
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
I am Slowly done with Linux because of That Whole have you Tried reinstalling over and over again with a Diffrent disrto as soon as something dose not work
Honestly Rocky is like the one distro where I don't know how to help you
Seems like it's RHEL without RHEL though, so should be doable. Let me find some documentation
Yeah the latest version they package is indeed 24.2.8: https://rockylinux.pkgs.org/10/rockylinux-appstream-x86_64/mesa-vulkan-drivers-24.2.8-3.el10_0.x86_64.rpm.html
This COPR repo packages newer Mesa, I believe that should work for RHEL and in turn Rocky: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/andersrh/mesa-epel/
You are really going outside of what your distro is intended for though. RHEL is for servers, you don't want to use it on the desktop
stormy-goldOP•4w ago
So there is no way arround a reinstall again.
Who was that guy that said Linux is fun?
So i gone the Route of EndevaourOS and i wanted to ask if that config has a better chance of working while i enjoy my third world country internet speeds here in Germany.

Now at mercy of DSL first
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
"VDSL2+ Supervectoring" but yeah pretty much making those 2 copper cables glow brighter then the sun. 🤣
implicit-lime•3w ago
Well, docsis would be better i assume
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Not Really because no IPv4 and no Static IP so no Selfhostig and thats a big no for me. And by the way the way they do it in Multi Unit Setups with docsis 3 is just worse then having a stable 100 mbit connection, if you get reconnects as soon as some old lady switches her channels and lets no tech in her arparment. 🫠
implicit-lime•3w ago
Btw just a little advice.
A bios from 2021 likely has broken rebar.
Update it.
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Good you Pointed that out that could have cost me some time to find.
implicit-lime•3w ago
@Secon Your internet cannot be that bad
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
No but a BIOS Update Can fuck up you GRUP beyond repar for some reason.🫠
I Tool the reinstall Option at that Point.
implicit-lime•3w ago
Grub? Endevaour uses systemd boot by default
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Yes and no, i Chose grub for some reason and that did Not Pay Off.
implicit-lime•3w ago
Damn 🐸
Systemd boot is life

After this incident nearly everyone stopped using grub 🐸 (That was a general grub issue)

Full transparency on the Grub issue (UPDATE 29-08-22) - EndeavourOS
Written by Dalto Full transparency on the GRUB issue Since the recent grub issue has impacted a lot of people,...
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Yeah i Guss my thougt was i Like BTRFS over ext4 and grub seem to be the better Option for that but that did Not work Well in the end.
😂
Yeah i should have thougt of that but i did Not as it seems. 🫠
implicit-lime•3w ago
👍 Anyways, at least you can repair
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
But that Grub has a Rescue Shell that is of no use is something that should be fixed by someone. 🤣
A command Like fixgrub or pleasework would be Nice
implicit-lime•3w ago
Lol
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
I mean Even Windows has fixmbr so we should be better then that 😂
The game Launches and i have some logs.
is there something in there that need fixing?
https://0x0.st/Keho.log
implicit-lime•3w ago
I mean if it works fine, then there is nothing to fix
@Secon So problem resolved then?
Are there any other problems? Like GTK apps rendering weird etc?
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Not that i have seen why?
implicit-lime•3w ago
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13759#note_3110551
Has workaround noted there
You could just globally pass it
implicit-lime•3w ago
implicit-lime•3w ago
You are one of us now
That is what matters
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
So if its Starting to get Unstable i know where to look for.
But that Should not affect me that much since i am using KDE Right now, or i hope it dosent
implicit-lime•3w ago
Apps like LACT or mission control center uses GTK
No matter what de you are using
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
So gparted should be affcted right?
implicit-lime•3w ago
if it uses gtk, i assume yes
stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Then i have seen no issue because thats the only thing that comes to mind that could use GTK that would be Preinstalled
implicit-lime•3w ago
👍
which uses the libadwaita/gtk4 as gui framework maybe this is absolutely needed
Anyways, i tag this as solved.stormy-goldOP•3w ago
Yes.
implicit-lime•3w ago
Gn, hf
Could've tried the COPR repo, but yeah installing a distro meant for what you're doing is usually the better option long-term
Feel free to ask in this #🆘-support channel in case you have any other questions (of any nature) about EndeavourOS. An Arch-based distro is just about the best place you can be for desktop usage since you can actually resolve issues you run into
