DX12 is not supported (Bottles, Lutris, Heroic) / Visual C++ Runtime required (steam launcher Proton GE)

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
, ,
1

EDIT: Thanks to DiMat’s suggestion to use PORTPROTON I am now able to run dx12 games. But, as the original problem still stands (steam/bottles/heroic/lutris not able to run dx12 games) I will keep this open for a bit, so maybe somebody can explain to me what went wrong in the first place. I would very much like to understand the situation and what caused it/ what can fix it.

I can not seem to be able to figure this one out.
No matter what runner (Proton, Proton GE, Wine-GE) in whatever program (Bottles, Lutris, Heroic, Steam native) I use I cannot run any DX12 games. Have tried Manor Lords, The Thaumaturge, Pacific Drive, … Have tried to instal VKD3D via Octopi as a last resort to no avail. Reinstalled nVidia drivers, switched to open source and back to proprietary.
Have tried setting environment variables
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr
VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2
as found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxCrackSupport/comments/vcstu9/dx12_not_supported/

And am just coming to the end of my rope. I am almost tempted to just do a clean Garuda reinstall. But my internet capabilities are VERY limited (shitty czech mobile providers…).

I understand I am supposed to paste the inxi here, but am not sure how to format it properly for which I apologise. It is long after midnight here and I am basically sleeping and my brain is just farting at this moment.

Please, don’t change again the garuda-inxi format.

Same for unsupported software.

  • Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text

Try portproton from aur…

Octopi found no such thing. Also, could you please elaborate as to why do you think it would work, when none of the other launchers (steam included) did not, no matter what proton (proton, proto GE, wineGE) version was used? I would like to understand the solution.

Installing it with bauh gave this error…

The “installation guide” points me to this ebpage: AUR (en) - portproton

But I have no idea what am I supposed to do there, there is no info, unlike f.e. if I had fedora (there are commands that you type in the terminal for it to be installed with all the dependencies on those distros, but not for garuda/arch) on how to actually install it.

paru -S portproton

This system allows you to use DX12 via VKD3D

9

I appreciate you trying to help me run DX12 games. Even though it is just a suggestion of trying yet another launcher, instead of fixing the problem system-wise, now giving me another problem to solve (portproton installation errors…).

But the information you give me (please, notice the “newbie” tag of my post) is just a brainteaser, not something I could/know how to utilise. If you could be a little bit more detailed in your instructions, that would be great.

What am I supposed to do withe the “paru -S portproton” line?
The russian website you posted also points towards this website: AUR (en) - portproton
with no actual instructions on how to install.

It is kind of frustrating that most of the “community” just expects a newbie to have the same level of know-how as the experienced users.

10

Run in the terminal: paru -S portproton. Next, the system will do everything by itself. English is available in the program itself and everything is clear there.

11

Thanks, buddy.

I was impatient and just looked around at the github page and resorted to manual installation using the

wget -c "https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortProton_ALT/raw/main/portproton" && sh portproton

command after reinstalling all of the listed dependencies. it is still in progress, so I can not yet testify if that worked or not, but will come back with the results.

Again, thank you for the clarification and the sort of out of the box solution I could not find without your input, as there was literally ZERO mention about the portproton app anywhere in my search for a solution.

12

So, it is installed.

But I can not seem to be able to add any shortcuts into it.
The “Choose path to .exe file:” is empty and I can not add anything.

13

On the .exe file right-click and select “Run using portproton”. Next, the application will launch and you can create a shortcut in it. The settings for using wine or proton will also open there.

14

Well. Interestingly enough, The Thaumaturge started, played the intro, started new game, went through the first dialog, but after that it crashed saying “fatal error”. I will tinker with it for some time, as it is currently the only option not giving the -dx12 errors.

Thank you for bringing this software to my attention. I do not understand why is it not “supported”, honestly.

But, is there a guide on how to properly set it up after installation, or do I just have to try different versions of proton/wine?

Again, thanks for the tip. Now I can uninstall all the other launchers incapable of running dx12.

Unless somebody able to decypher the inxi I posted tells me why does it not work as it should in all the launchers (like, why does steam ask fo visual c++ when running dx12 games?), I see no reason to have more than bottles (set up to play the dx11 games with n hassle).

15

There are a lot of instructions on the site that I indicated. You can use an online translator to translate from Russian…

16

Yes, try other versions of wine or proton. There you can download them through “Get another wine”

17

Yup. Figured.
Using the WINE.GE (had to wait half an hour for it do download…) both Manor Lords and The Thaumaturge (dx12 only) seem to work.

Yes, I did translate the website from russian before. That is how I knew they point to the same page as the github ARCH installation “guide”, but nowhere did it say to use the “-S portproton” command to install, so I went with the manual installation and it works.

Thank you for this workaround to my original problem. I hate that the different alphabet/azbuka separates us from being able to easily understand the written word, but looks like yet another great stuff coming from russia mostly unnoticed by the english speaking part of the community as, as I repeat, there was zero mention about it anywhere I looked for a solution.

Thanks a lot.

From here: Issues running a game with Wine / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums

It seems making a new clean prefix fixed the author’s issues.
Try a new clean prefix.

Hi.
Just a little side note.
Running the “paru -S portproton” command on a fresh install of Garuda (after updates) I have on a laptop did not install portproton, but just showed some kind of a script:

Hi. Thank you for your time to reply.
But.
What do you mean? Clean prefix of what? Neither of the launcher programs were able to run dx12 games, using their own resources.
I used ProtonUp to install different updated runners in all of the launchers and none (Bottles, Heroic, Lutris) worked with dx12, not even Steam.

I am currently on a bus and a different computer, but will check the given link when I can to see if I understand what you meant a little better and to see what my problem really is.
It is true that the install before this last one ran dx12 games no problem and “straight out of the box”.

EDIT: So I went to the linked post and it seems like a completely different situation. The person was using lutris and had to basically reinstall the whole lutris environment for it to work. Thing is, my Lutris was a fresh one I installed only as means to see if it would work (it did not) when the launchers I used (Bottles, Steam) did not run any dx12 game for some reason (steam asked for visual c++ and other launchers using wine-ge or proton-ge asked for a dx12 compatibiity).
