Crash on start up with Linux mint: POTENTIAL FIX

[Bankai]

I was having trouble launching the game with the latest linux mint distro, with up to date graphics drivers. I found this fix on ProtonDB (I couldn't find the original post, but huge props to them, and Im sure you will find it if you scour through the website). Here's what worked for me.

Click on the settings icon and go to Properties. There go to compatibility, and the Proton Version that worked for me was Proton 9 (if it doesn't work, tinker with different proton versions).

After that, go to your launch options and copy/paste this command
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_3 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_7 %command%

Launch the game, and it should work. It took a minute or two to launch for me.

I will admit that I am a linux newbie (fck windows) and I don't know if this will work with your certain flavor of linux, but I hope my experience helps anyone that has the same issue I did not too long ago. Thanks for reading!

Nice.
I too run Linux Mint 22.1 but have had zero issues as the game just runs. Nice that you posted this however in case anyone else experiences the same issue.
