Hi guys, i’m trying to run some game on fedora 40 I3 edition, all game start with no problem, BUT with iGPU so i added this flag to the launch option of steam

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

But, for some game (like SOMA, that is native) work just fine, it launch with dedicated card, but for other game (proton game principally) they just dont start (no window show) and crash instantly.

Now, also some native game (like left for dead 2) dont work with this method, i will able with
PROTON_LOG=1
To generate some log and a common error is:

20378.612:00cc:00d0:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

20379.231:00cc:00d0:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

And another error:

20379.618:0020:0024:err:steam:run_process Failed to execute L"\"Z:\\home\\gattolfo\\.local\\share\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Life\"", ret 2.

(in this game from Life is feudal: your won)

I am not familiar with this command line and honestly it seems excessive :thinking: : Not sure where you got it?

Typically when you want to use the discrete gpu to start an application/game you can use 2 methods

  • To launch the the Steam Game with discrete graphics
    • DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
  • On Gnome Desktop we have switcherooctl
    • switcherooctl launch steam <steam id>

I have tryed to use DRI_PRIME=1 instead of my paramethers, but it just start with iGPU

Can you paste the result of inxi -Fzxx for us here, I’d like to see some of the hardware info more in depth.

The Nvidia card is listed as Device-1 can you try DRI_PRIME=0 %command%

7

it launch but with iGPU

8

How did you install the Nvidia driver? Though the RPMFusion repo or from the Nvidia site.
