Hi All,

I get an infrequent error when playing balder gate 3 on Fedora Workstation 40. I run it in direct x11 as vulkan crashed all the time. Any ideas how to fix?

PS very new to Linux/GNU so let me know if you need any additional information.

Are you running it through Lutris? Steam with Proton? That error seems decidedly like a Wine specific problem, which Proton should have ironed out at this stage for this particular game.

*Unless you're trying to play on hardware with incomplete Vulkan support. Then it's a hardware support problem that is unlikely to be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.

I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0

After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently

Do other games run in general when using Vulkan API? (most modern games on Linux run with Vulkan, whether it’s Wine or native). What’s your NVIDIA driver version? Did you even install akmod-nvidia?
