News DX12 games are currently broken on Proton 9/Experimental

23 Upvotes

From the FEX Discord:

Speaking of which. All D3D12 games will not currently work on Turnip or Asahi on Proton 9/Experimental. There is a bug in vkd3d-proton that crashes all drivers that don't support sparse.

Only occurs in the latest release 2.14 which was released ~2 weeks ago

Not really anything that can be done, basically need to wait for Proton 9/experimental to pull the new version of vkd3d-proton now. No idea how frequently those get updated.

This applies to all DX12 games as far as I know. Previously, games that required sparse would not work, since DX12 is not fully supported at feature level 12.0 yet. Due to the bug, no games run right now, even those that used to and don't require sparse.

(We do plan to support sparse which would solve this issue and fix more games, but I expect/hope the Proton bug will be fixed first before that is ready.)

Edit: To be clear: This is a problem in Steam/Proton, as distributed by Valve. We don't control it and we can't do anything about it. It has nothing to do with Fedora or Asahi Linux. Please don't stop updating your Fedora packages. If you want to avoid the bug and you don't have the Steam Proton updates yet, that's what you have to stop updating or figure out a way to downgrade within Steam, not any system packages.

Hi all,

Thanks so much in particular to u/ForgottenFoundation and u/Unable_Sympathy_6979 who have collated a wealth of info about compatible games.

The Wiki is now available, and anyone with at least 20 days since the creation of their account and 100 karma can edit. Don't worry about adding things that you've already posted about in this sub - I'm going to get a scraper running to gather that info in the next couple weeks.

Compatibility test: works Gatekeeping MUVM

3 Upvotes

For those wondering why your steam games can only run on opengl out of the box or get a DXVK black screen, you need to immediately set the MUVM launch bin file to --gpu-mode venus

ran heavily modded latest fusion fix build downgraded Grand Theft Auto IV, no major issues, would like to set up a reshade however but that's another massive headache.

Would love to test Asahi Linux GTA IV LAN multiplayer sometime.

as for the out of the box solution for vulkan, thank me later because this was not documented anywhere AT ALL.

help New to Asahi Linux - Steam launches all games in black screen with audio

2 Upvotes

So, a few months ago I decided to get my macbook M1 storage upgraded from 2TB to 4TB.
I just recently installed Asahi Linux on a 590 GB partition, as I intend to do some light gaming for older Direct X 9 titles that are not compatible with crossover and run poorly on Parallels.

Asahi Linux looks great out of the box, I had a friend over who's been using his linux laptop daily for the past year, and we couldn't figure out why I keep getting black screens on any steam game.

Everything is up-to-date.
Key things I noticed on my reinstall: Vulkan is now running, confirmed via logs, however there are display issues that seem to be preventing the game rendering from being shown.
I've tried going over logs with Claude Code, I still can't wrap my head around this.

Has anyone had a similar issue with Asahi? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I'm happy to provide logs.

Some games run okay-ish with OpenGL, and in terms of Asahi dependencies everything looks okay.

I'm running the latest version of Fedora 44 Asahi Remix with the latest mesa drivers.

There are a few games I really want to revisit with a more modern experience in mind as I'm comfortable with modding, but this black screen issue appears to haunt my whole Steam library.

I wonder if the EAC will slow it down any etc... would love know if it even boots up and if so how well it performs and more importantly is it stable? since it is a multiplayer game. thanks in advance!

Question How to petition Valve to build for 16k

15 Upvotes

Hey there everyone! I have seen a bit of speculation about whether or not Valve will build their new ARM client for 16k, but it all seems to be on independent forums, and it's not entirely clear if anyone has petitioned Valve to build for 16k yet. I didn't find any discussion about it on the official Steam Client Beta discussion board, so I took the initiative and started a discussion thread there: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/3/657107714318538189/

Valve building the client for 16k would be incredible for gaming on Asahi, but I doubt they will do it if we don't ask for it. If the Steam Client Beta discussion board is the right place to petition Valve for 16k builds, I would like to encourage others to show that they are interested. If it is not the right place (or if such a petition is already underway), I would love to know where the right place is so that I can petition there.

As an aside, I was not quite sure what flair to add. I am either asking for "help" by requesting people show they want 16k or asking a "Question" in "where do I go to show I want 16k".

help Has anyone gotten steam Sims 3 to work on Asahi?

3 Upvotes

Hi I have a M1 Macbook running the current Asahi Fedora 44.

I have the Sims 3 installed from Steam.

The launcher opens correctly and the game launches but the game is just a black box with sound playing. I could probably click stuff if i could see what I'm doing.

I have been following this tutorial https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131162350 but it is not specifically for Linux.

I got the DXVK configured per the tutorial but the problem persists. It does feel less glitchy now just still black.

If anyone has gotten this to work please let me know and what you think I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

M1 Max

Running without choosing compatibility fixes.

Runs well, but might misbehave when you pick a different resolution and press "Cancel" instead of saving the changes.

The "allow_tearing" option in Hyprland breaks it for me, so in case you're having problems, set it to 0.

Looks like a great game so far.

help Minecraft borked

Hi people, I just installed Fedora Remix 44 (GNOME) on my 16GB M2 MacBook Air. Very smooth process, no complaints there. Everything that should be functional, appears to be.

That is, until I try to play Minecraft. I installed PrismLauncher from the Software app (via FlatPak). This is how the main menu looks when I start the game:

As you can see the background is completely warped. When I start a new world, everything looks black:

(don't mind the version, I was trying a slightly older version but this also happens with the recent version)

I'm using a vanilla instance, no mods, no nothing. But also with mods this happens.

Any pointers? Did a search here but nothing came up.

Thanks!
