Linux Mint w/Nvidia - any luck?

[SwithDrawn]

Anyone having luck on Linux with nVidia cards?

Trying to play on Linux Mint but the game is requiring driver version 560.70 or later - the newest driver I can find through the normal methods (apt update, etc) is 560.35.

I can install the nvidia .run package for the beta driver, but this appears to be a very complicated procedure.

Got it running on my wife's Linux Mint PC but she has a 6800XT but it crashes 2 minutes into character creation.

Having the same issue...

There is a beta version (565) for Linux available on the NVIDIA website but you have to install a .run file and my poor linux skills are unable to handle this.

Guess we just have to keep an eye on the Ubuntu PPA for a beta refresh: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Firing up the Windows partition for now.

Same here :( that is so sad.

I too have a 6800xt and I can't get past character creation either. Constant crashes. The bad kind too, not soft crashes, these are hard system crashes requiring full system reboot.

1. Download the Driver
Go to the NVIIA Download Page and download the beta .run file

2. Prepare Your System
Remove Old Drivers:
sudo rpm-ostree uninstall nvidia-driver
Install Required Packages:
sudo rpm-ostree install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make

3. Open Terminal
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the driver:
cd ~/Downloads

4. Make the File executable
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-*.run

5. Log Out of the Graphical Session
Switch to a TTY (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + F2) and log in.

6. Install the Driver:
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-*.run
Follow the on-screen instructions.

7. Restart Your System....
sudo reboot

8. Verify Installation
After rebooting, check if the driver is installed:
nvidia-smi


Disclaimer: I’m not sure if this method will work, and I'm currently too lazy to try it myself. I might have to wait a few more days or play it on my Steam Deck, although I would prefer to play on my desktop. Proceed at your own risk!

I was able to install the latest NVIDIA driver on Fedora 40. It gets past the driver warning, but then black screens and crashes without an error. This is probably going to take a bit.

Update: I pulled in the alpha releases of kmod-nvidia and nvidia-modprobe with the following command on Fedora 40:


sudo dnf update --refresh --releasever 42 akmod-nvidia
sudo akmods --rebuild --force

sudo dnf install --releasever 42 kmod-nvidia nvidia-modprobe

And now it works.

WARNING: These are BETA DRIVERS built for an ALPHA VERSION of Fedora. They absolutely are not safe to install on your system. Proceed at your own risk. I'm a software engineer that ♥♥♥♥♥ around with the linux kernel on the regular, so I'm capable of recovering if this blows up in my face.
