DXVK doesn't recognise Nvidia Driver

i'm following a guide to get a visual novel running properly on this os, as currently it only runs briefly before crashing at a random interval within a few minutes (https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/r724ep/guide_how_to_hopefully_run_full_metal_daemon/) so i used protontricks to try to install dxvk, and it sent an error message referring me to the driver support list implying that it doesn't recognise my nvidia driver (which i verified is 570.133.07)

i'm running a 3080, although i doubt that information is relevant was trying to get it to run through proton hotfix and experimental, neither work i couldn't follow the reddit instructions exactly because the first command returned warning: wineserver not found! which is why i went to protontricks as an alternative to winetricks

That guide is so old that I’d just defer to installing with Lutris and the latest GE-Proton and seeing where you end up If you still need the mf codecs, that can be done afterward as needed Installing with Proton or GE-Proton already has DXVK.

right, i haven't tried lutris before will update this thread when i try it because my isp is being useless and if i have to download literally anything i'm screwed rn well now i'm just confused on what to actually do lutris thinks i don't have wine, and running through steam will not work as this is not a steam game

the warning in the config screen is a false positive just set GE-Proton as the runner

it's running off lutris, but it's behaving the same as it did through steam it crashes in the middle of the transition to the title screen, and also at one point crashed after the dev logos lutris does recognise the game itself, as can be seen from it successfully providing a link to an entry for the game on the website

is this with running lutris -d in a terminal? if not, can you exit out and run lutris -d in the terminal and provide the full output?
pink

so do i need to run the command while the game is running, or
termdisc
termdisc3w ago
no, completely close out of lutris and the game

it's giving me
2025-04-01 21:14:14,093: Couldn't find a terminal emulator.
2025-04-01 21:14:14,423: The Battle.net source is unavailable because Google protobuf could not be loaded: Descriptors cannot be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

termdisc
termdisc3w ago
lutris -d this is for running lutris with debug logging
pink
pinkOP3w ago
it doesn't continue running after the point i sent oh wait
termdisc

You cannot run anything in Lutris?
pink
pinkOP3w ago

pink
pinkOP3w ago

termdisc3w ago

You didn't set a folder for the prefix set this for your prefix folder: /home/bazzite/Games/Full Metal Daemon Muramasa
pink
pinkOP3w ago
mk new directory then? ok yeah i see lutris has used the games directory already actually so i presume i'll need to edit the prefix that gets output into that folder next
termdisc
termdisc3w ago
maybe, maybe not run the game again, post new outputs
pink

i should point out it wildly varies how long the game takes to crash this is common behaviour with running it through steam so this time i got far enough to skip a bit into the vn and make a save
