Just tested on Arch, installed nvidia-beta
Was using GE-Proton8-17
Got to the first open area. No missing textures, graphical glitches, nada. Seems to be running well, but didn’t have FPS counter visible to see.
Alas, no joy:
removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=535.113.01' required by lib32-nvidia-utils
Basically, the same problem I hit trying it from trizen. And Steam wants lib32-nvidia-utils
I tried installing nvidia-utils-beta, but that breaks because the old one is needed by nvidia-dkms, and I can’t seem to get yay to consider two packages at once.
I might jut wait for the full release.
Just remove utile first, I did and it was fine. Yay -Rns lib32-nvidia-utils
Then install drivers
I had to remove Steam before lib32-nvida-utils would go - now Steam won’t reinstall
[edit]
Got it with --assume-installed lib32-vulkan-driver
Let’s see if it works :)
[edit]
Nope. Builds shaders (a little too quickly perhaps) and then stops.
Skyrim still works, which suggests that the problem is with version of proton and environment variables rather than the beta drivers. And at least I’m no worse off than before.
I might give this another go tomorrow - look at it with fresh eyes and all that.
