It seems to mostly happen to 3D games, very rarely for 2D ones.
Normally, this wouldn’t be much of an issue for me since I install everything to secondary SSDs anyways, but the one piece of software that is driving me up a wall is Steam VR, since its installation folder can’t be moved.
I could find plenty of fixes when it came to the opposite problem (launching games from another drive) but nothing for my situation.
Any solutions or even just point me in the right direction where to start when it comes to troubleshooting something like this?
OS: Endeavour OS
GPU: RTX 2070 (latest Nvidia drivers)
CPU: Ryzen 2700X
Happens on both X11 and Wayland environments and everything is up-to-date
Edit: also this seems to happen with every version of Proton
Since that 545 drivers, I cannot play with Proton 8 at all. Open source drivers don’t have this problem (their problem is performance), so it seems Nvidia f*cked up as usual. However first time hearing this. Can you play native games at least?
Can you check which GPU APIs are being used by your games? (ex. OpenGL, Vulkan) Are those games 64-bit, or 32-bit?
Additionally, you’re not missing out on VR side. SteamVR is horrendously broken on Linux
