[Linux] White screen with DRI_PRIME=1 launch option

[omega496]

Without DRI_PRIME=1 game complains I have too weak graphic card to play the game. After adding DRI_PRIME=1 game options window launches, but... it's white. I have similar issue with Grand Ages: Medieval. My system is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I updated Steam today and configuration tool isn't white with options DRI_PRIME=1 __GL_GlslUseCollapsedArrays=0, but still white screen in game. If I remove any of this options, white screen appears in config window. If I remove both env variables, gake starts, but video is very slow (game runs on integrated Intel GPU).

What's "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" says about your gpu with DRI_PRIME? Anyway, try enabling/disabling any composite manager.

Okay, try using MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5COMPAT and MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 in your launch option beside DRI_PRIME.

[omega496]

When using all of these values, black screen(instead white screen) on options is used, but game still display only white screen.

[kucingkampung]

Seems not extension problem, then. Have you try amdgpu-pro proprietary driver, not recommended but just in case? I don't use AMD gpu at the moment, so I can't tell what's wrong with your game, but I suspect it's just driver compatibility problem. Perhaps someone with amd card can help you. Anyway, if you don't want to install proprietary driver, you can try using wine+dxvk to play this game.

[omega496]

I thought about install amd-gpu pro driver, but I'm using OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, with is „contitionally” distribution and amd-gpu pro is closed source. Closed source drivers and contitonal distribution means problems. :-(

That not Tomb Raider problem, but rather my system problem, because I cannot install closed source driver ;-)

I think I can install Ubuntu on KVM+Qemu and do passtrought. That will solve a lot o problems. Who can tell me closed source drivers works on Ubuntu out of the box or are simple to install?

[omega496]

Idea for installing Ubuntu with closed source drivers on KVM/QEMU doesn't work. There's a white rectangle displayed, when running system with my dedicated graphics pass-througth. I think this is a kernel bug - amdgpu pro probably won't help, because it uses the same kernel module like mesa.

[kucingkampung]

You can post this at AMD linux forum, perhaps someone in there with similar hardwares can run a test for you. This game works perfect with my nvidia card, btw.

Anyway, you might want to try windowed mode first (disable fullscreen and exclusive fullscreen).

[omega496]

Thanks.
How to run game in windowed mode?
I will try to get help on AMD forum.

[kucingkampung]

You're welcome. If you can't set it from TR launcher apps then try add "-fullscreen 0 -nolauncher" in Steam launcher options. I've never tried it myself but if it not working, try another generic launch commands such as /fullscreen 0, -windowed, /windowed, etc.

[omega496]

After adding amdgpu.pm=0 the game with DRI_PRIME=1 works, but it works very slow (the same speed as on Intel GPU).

[omega496]

The game worked after changing screen resolution. And It's smooth

[kucingkampung]

Case closed, then. Happy gaming! :D
