I didn’t. Sunday was broken up with all sorts of RL issues, and when I did have time, I spent it on Windows playing the game.

I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. Proton experimental looks like it should do the job with minimal fuss, assuming everything else is in place. It would be nice to move over fully to Linux. Even if it does mean accepting a lower FPS for a short while.

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.

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.

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!

Sounds good - I’ll give that a shot.

Did you do it to run Starfield? How was performance, if so?

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.

Also a full capitalist system would not have invented the internet as we know it

We’d have had CompuServe, only bigger. Subscription only, walled garden environments.

Might have got something close to modern ubiquity with cable companies bundling search and forum functions in with the video, but it would still be heavily monetised and tightly controlled.
