Display problems with Rimworld

Hello!
I have a problem when try to run Rimworld after installation. The game is running but nothing is displayed.
Checking the logs of the game i found the next “issue”:

Preloaded 'lib_burst_generated.so'
Preloaded 'libsteam_api.so'
Unable to load player prefs
Desktop is 0 x 0 @ 0 Hz

I think the game are not detecting my monitor correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Are you running Steam native or something else?

Which display is showing nothing, the internal laptop display or the external monitor?
Have you tried it without an external monitor? It is possible that the AMD iGPU is not connected to the HDMI port but only via eDP. This means that the Nvidia card is connected to the HDMI port.

Why don’t you have Nvidia drivers installed?

Hello! Thank you for the reply! :slight_smile:
I am using Garuda Sway, and I understand that it only works with generic drivers. (Can I install the proprietary ones? )I am using an external monitor, but with other games I have no problem, for example ProjectZomboid…
Right now I’m using the external screen, and I have the internal one disabled.

Hi Thhnak you for the reply!!
I try steam native, runtime, and for lutris… With same result.

Ah, you’re right. I had forgotten that sway and nvidia can be really tricky.

You’ll have to wait until someone from the gamer fraction jumps in here, I’m not an expert on gaming on Linux.

There are a couple of options but you can install:

nvidia-zen

or nvidia-dkms.

To debug anything running on Steam, check protonDB for how other people got it running and click “PC” from the top menu.

You can, but it’s a little tricky.
