[Bug] Unable to launch any game from the Portal series · Issue #282...
This is happening on NVIDIA kde version and steam is on bazzite-arch I am unable to launch any portal game on steam and when I launch it, it says running then it turns back into the play button. Ha...
@nickname if you have a minute I think you had the fix for this
Tcmalloc, needs a launch option
Package is already installed
I'd find it but I'm at my GF's birthday dinner LOL
oh sorry i was outside hold on
wait i had the fix for this? lol
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libtcmalloc.so %command%
i think this is itis this also an issue on the deck version as well? I am asking since it is part of the base image instead of the distrobox
it doesn't work
I hope their will be a fix soon
I think we are using the wrong image platform
@dnkmmr if you have a moment
can you change your launch options for TF2 or Portal to the following:
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 %command%
TF2 would probably be the more interesting one
@EyeCantCU ^I think we've tried these at one point unfortunately
Installing Portal on Arch rn
if those don't work
make sure libglvnd is installed as well
So far Steam hasn't complained about attempting to use nouveau
Install is taking ages though
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 glxinfo
should be preinstalled on bazzite-archEverything works on vanilla Arch. Willing to wager that it's vulkan-radeon being problematic with Nvidia
hmm
Steam requires something be installed, so that's unfortunate for us from a cleanliness standpoint
but it can be done
can we try those launch options on bazzite-arch before we go that path?
Yeah
I have tried those previously myself but would be interesting to see if they work for others
Looking into what this would take... I don't like it
Either we install nvidia-utils and it's lib32 counterpart with pacman -Sdd then install Steam (in which case, a user update would probably break this), or we do the same for Steam and install it and every dependency BUT those two things
steam requires a driver package
so we have to install nvidia, none isn't an option
With -Sdd it is if you list out every other dep by hand but that's not realistic
