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.

THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP, LADS! ITS FINALLY HA-

A bit more testing, there’s something wierd here.
At ultra graphics I am running around 50 FPS. At low graphics I’m sitting at 60-70 FPS.
I guess there is some frame limiting happening. I have a 3090.
Possible CPU bottleneck. Starfield is very CPU bound, this happens even at CPUs like R7 7800X3D
Hmm maybe that’s it.
yup it’s using all cores on a 5950x, but I do get 60ish fps with a 7900xtx at 4k with fsr
Congrats! :) have you made a post to protondb yet? If not, feel free to share. People will appreciate it I guess. Have a good one.
I cannot because I’m using library sharing. It’s not in my Steam profile :(
Interesting! Are you sure you need this? If I click on contribute, I get to choose any game I want.
I can only select games in my library on the contribute page
Thats strange. Maybe I should try actually selecting a game I don’t have and see for myself. It literally said that should be careful to make sure that I have the correct game selected and not something with a similar name. I‘ll try to remember and check tomorrow.
FINALLY. Took them long enough to get a beta release.
Anyone familiar with arch/artix who can give me a quick rundown on how to move from nvidia-dkms (artix) to nvidia-beta (aur)?
I tried trizen, but everything depends on something else right back up to steam itself and I’m wary of uninstall too many packages at once without knowing what I’m doing.
Um… I use Yay, and just ran yay nvidia-beta. It asked me if it should remove conflicting packages. I typed y. Installed and done.
Sounds good - I’ll give that a shot.
Did you do it to run Starfield? How was performance, if so?
Yes, and performance was wierd.
It defaulted to Ultra graphics, and was pretty consistently at 50 FPS.
I set it to lowest graphics expecting to see 300+ FPS but it only went up to 70.
There’s definitely some optimisations that need to be done, or graphics is not my bottleneck.
CPU usage though was pretty consistent across all cores at 60%.
So… no idea.
Oh well, I’ll be happy if I can get 60fps at 1080p. One advantage of an aging rig - it doesn’t have to push as many pixels as a modern monitor would need :)
Thanks for the help!
Let us know how your experience goes, would be good to compare PC stats and performance.
Alas, no joy:
removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=535.113.01' required by lib32-nvidia-utilsBasically, 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
