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.

    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.

      What resolution are you running at and what CPU do you have? I have a Ryzen 3900x and an Nvidia 3090 and in the Constellation headquarters, I am seeing around 34fps at 4K. I have to lower the render resolution to 55 to make it more responsive.

          Ah 1440p. That explains the performance difference. The fact that this game is putting 3090s to shame is saying something.

            Switched to Experimental to see if that made any difference. Not really. On load, gpu is sitting around 60%. After going into and back out of the cave again, GPU sitting at 90% usage. CPU constantly around 60%.

            Seems like there are some optimisations that need to happen, better unloading perhaps.

            VRAM usage was around 6gb the whole time.

              I am seeing 90% usage as well. For CPU, I’ve been noticing that there’s one or two cores that get slammed to 100, so I am thinking its a CPU bottleneck. Makes sense considering that in some areas, lowering render resolution doesn’t do anything.

    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.

        Interesting! Are you sure you need this? If I click on contribute, I get to choose any game I want.

            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.

    Are you able to get Wayland working? I tried it and I kept getting kwin_wayland_drm: Atomic modeset commit failed! Cannot allocate memory messages in journalctl.

    EDIT: You have to pass in fbdev=1 to the nvidia_drm module. This will disable simpledrm which was causing the issue. I now have this in my modprobe.d:

    options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1

    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!

                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.
