[Linux/Proton][NVIDIA] No Frame Generation

[FunkEweUp]

Running a 4070 Super on Manjaro Linux with Proton Experimental, everything's working with the exception of DLSS-FG, which is something of a necessity at 4K with this game. The option simply remains greyed out, no matter what Proton version I choose (tried GE-Proton9-27 too).

DLSS-FG was added to Proton Experimental late last year and I can confirm that it's working on other titles such as Hogwarts Legacy on the same system.

Does anyone else have this issue? Has anyone found a way around it?

The only thing I've found is OptiFG from OptiScaler, but it adds a lot of latency and instability. So it's not something I wish to use for an entire play-through.

In case it matters, my Nvidia driver is at version 570.133. I have also tried the newer 570.144 driver, but experienced no difference.

I could be wrong, but I believe it's an issue with this game specifically. I think you need FSR for Frame Gen in this game. But if I'm wrong, hopefully someone else sees this thread and can correct me.

maybe dont use Linux and Nvidia ? well known issue that Nvidia gives a FK about Linux but as a Linux User you did not know that ? wow shocker.

have you tried going into beta and using the 10.0 proton build?

Kinda beside the point...

No, I'll try that thanks
Update: No difference unfortunately. Good shout though.

You cannot use FrameGen natively without turning on any Upscaling Method.

I do not know if there are .ini tweaks out there for that or maybe even a mod on nexus.
You may want to check over there.

[FunkEweUp]

Yes, I know. I have DLSS enables & working. Just FG remains unavailable.

[Miku]

Ah, oh, must have missed that.
I will be out of here

That's outdated information. Nvidia has hired the guy (Ben Skeggs) who develops Nvidia Nouevau drivers for Linux and they have publicly stated that they are moving to make a shift towards open source drivers for Linux.

Don't feed the trolls ;)

I've opened a support ticket with Bethesda as I think this is where the issue lays. Not holding out much hope as their system has already automatically batted it back twice...

No longer true, they are actively developing nvidia drivers for linux, g-sync, dlss and framegen (not in all games apparently) works. And they have started open sourcing some stuf.. You didn't know that? wow shocker

This was always false information, Nvidia has always made drivers for Linux but they just didn't make them open source or release them non-propriety, however they never made any attempt to block open-source drivers for their hardware either and some distributions have official repos for non-propriety drivers like Ubuntu.

AMD on the other hand sucked at making drivers (in general) and so people came to rely on community drivers, AMD coasted on the fact that their drivers were so bad that people had to make drivers for em and that apparently means they like Linux, So AMD stuck with that, AMD just lets the community fix their terrible drivers.

Nvidia on the other hand actually makes products that use/utilize or improve linux, from supporting RISC-V, creating the nVidia Shield (android, thus linux based) and let's not forget nVidia's big money maker these days, the a100, if you're getting an a100, you're almost certainly shoving it into a Linux Server, such as RHEL or Debian.

This isn't to say nVidia is perfect, both nVidia and AMD both create open and closed source things. AMD has it's place in the market but nVidia and AMD is a duopoly with neither company essentially being any better than the other, they both do good things and both do bad things and they get away with a lot due to a lack of viable competition in the market.

use proton experimental and fsr framegen. fsr has a way better picture quality

No. I use DLSS and FG works perfectly fine.
I rather die than use FSR, EVER
