Proton DB thinking my pc specs are not enough cause of distro I think?

[MKRBGR]

Hello, I am using Garuda like from Bird of Prey. I had pretty shitty Huawei AMD + AMD combo laptop. And I entered too many reports with that pc. Now I bought Lenovo LOQ 15 series laptop and downloaded current Garuda edition. I am at latest drivers at every point, all the updates, settings, apps, tools for gaming or Optimus Manager kinda all set but god damn Proton says me “Your drivers are not supported bro” like what?? Then today I contribute to Metro Exodus, and saw on my pc system only one thing is red. Garuda Broadwing. So… Proton doesnt accept my report cause I am using Broadwing or what? I am very confused and wanted to ask did that happened to you too?

This is my system

That has nothing to say, take a look here (maybe it helps to understand it better):

I can't launch games and protondb says that my drivers don't reach the requirements of proton

You can find your hardware info in Steam > Help > System Information. Copy the entire text and paste it in the appropriate field in your profile on ProtonDB. Do note that the recognition isn’t perfect. Proton suddenly told me my system doesn’t meet the minimum graphic card requirements after I updated to Broadwing, probably because it did not know the OS. I’m running a GTX4070 with latest drivers.

Or wait until someone jumps in here - I’m not a gamer btw.

Yeah, I’ve noticed ProtonDB can flag newer or less common distros weirdly, even if your actual hardware and drivers are solid. It seems like it’s more about how the system info is parsed than a real issue with your setup, hopefully, it’ll catch up soon.

hi and welcome,

just an idea.
i have a account and set up two profiles

PC 1. With Garuda OS
PC 2. Arch Linux

replace the Garuda OS with Arch Linux and safe the PC. Maybe you can contribute with selected PC2 Arch Version?

Didnt see Garuda OS at all if im looking for Games mostly then Arch Linux is more visible

Good Luck.

I have to download the Game for testing, i have it in my library because it was free for a short time but never downloaded. I played those Game few years ago on the Xbox

ps. Did Contribute with my details also with Garuda OS i had no Warning or red error =)
I can play this Game without any error actually. Only downloaded with steam and played few minutes. No extra Proton or something
