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:
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.
Just remove utile first, I did and it was fine. Yay -Rns lib32-nvidia-utils
Then install drivers
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.
how did you get on?
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.
