AMD 9070XT on Linux, Proton games working for anyone else?

[sinephase]

I just upgraded from nvidia and rebased my Linux install but now proton games won't launch, something about vulkan being a problem, maybe. Just want to see if anyone else is still able to run games fine on the new GPU?

[tyl0413]

You uninstalled the nvidia driver before changing the GPU?

yes that's what I mean by rebased. Linux native games like L4D2 run fine, just not proton games. I deleted caches, reinstalled proton, reset steam, etc.

It's probably the drivers, has AMD updated MESA already?

This happens all the time on linux with bleeding edge hardware, should be fixed in a couple weeks.

Yeah I found a reddit post saying the most up to date Mesa is needed and Bazzite doesn't have it yet

Best practice, and may depend on your distribution, but when going nvidia to FOSS drivers, is to reinstall mesa packages, the vulkan-filesystem and mesa-drivers packages I think are the ones that need to be reinstalled, but I am not so sure. Also, make sure to do so for both x86_64 and (depending on your distro) i686 or i386.

Edit:

For the latest and greatest hardware, usually git releases are needed, so check your distro if there is a COPR, PPA or AUR for that.

Edit 2:

Check this[forum.level1techs.com] Level 1 Tech discussion for set up, compatibility, etc.

Rebasing uses the AMD image for Bazzite so it's all there as far as it's up to date with the latest bazzite updates. I guess I just have to wait.

Funny how the new Nvidia cards work day one but AMD doesn't.

the driver is kernel level though so you need to wait for it to update either way, probably depends more on the distro than AMD

Is it out for other distros?

rolling release distributions like arch linux or the devirats. well and you could check github for the source code and compile yourself

That's literally FOSS, baby... it takes time for changes in dev branches to cascade.

It used to be the case for nvidia as well as the kernel module would not build, now with the division between an open kernel-side and closed userland it is MUCH easier for them (coming from someone using nvidia on Linux for the past 22+ years), it used to be the case where nvidia took too long for adding support for new kernels, so new distro releases were a pain.

Which linux distribution is installed on your system?

in the end nvidia hates the open source community (people like you! they hate you and just love your money... damn they even dont care if you burn with youre whole house.. ) abysmally and the only damn reason why they change so much towards the public is the damn hype be it about bitcoin or ai... the stuff is definitely not run on huge data centers powered by microsoft...
nvidia would prefer to close itself off 100% but then, despite cuda cores and their proprietary stuff, they would miss out on a huge market and thus sales... you only have to follow the stock market to see when nvidia's upswing really began and when they slowly opened up.
if this changes again at some point, you don't have to expect nvidia to stay open but to close itself off to the linux community again. i can't understand supporting such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ brand and still being proud of it. yes wow are the most powerful in the area but only because of previous criminal methods and subsequently because of the blind fan boy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that you should follow closed source well. meanwhile they say ♥♥♥♥ amd but ofc take all open source stuff from amd...

thanks to nvidia, the damn market is unfortunately limited to amd and nvidia, with intel now following suit... but it's also a store with criminal methods... you won't read any more names because nvidia and intel are ruthlessly destroying or buying up everything else anyway... luckily they didn't manage it with amd.

AMD is also becoming violent, and also driven by greed, but that's good.
Perhaps the steam deck has opened new doors, and greed and the desire to beat nvidia will lead them and us to greater popularity of linux in home computers for gaming.

If the chair on which nvidia sits catches fire, and linux be the largest not only in usable computers (your fridge, this forum, your phone, sony game consoles), but also those on the desk for games. They will want to open up to linux as much as possible.

Long live the burning chairs and the power of persuasion of our wallets :)

for the end user the problem is almost the same as with cpu's that everything revolves around nvidia amd and intel. it would be so much better for the end user if there were more competitors and thus more competition but i don't think we will see that anymore. since it is so advanced by now until a new one would catch up the others would already be far ahead again.
ah well, i'd rather note that because it could be seen as nvidia bashing, so amd has anything but a white vest and are definitely not saints or anything else but in the end just a profit-oriented company. however, the methods of ms+intel+nvidia as a trio against ati/amd were on a completely different level.
