Hello everyone, I have an issue with my vulkan install. Here is my general problem : I use my linux computer to play video games and I encounter instabilities with Blizzard’s Battle net. It seems to me that a good idea would be to identify the versions of the working installation (Proton, DXVK, Vulkan) and save them for backup or to prevent upgrades that could break it.
Concerning vulkan, my problem states as follow : I don’t know which is my current used implementation nor to which package and dynamic library it corresponds. It seems that there is 3 different implementations on my system : the default, one of AMDVLK and RADV. To make it clear, here are the commands used to switch between them :
- doing nothing results in the default one
export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.jsonresults in the AMDVLK oneexport VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.jsonresults in the RADV one
If it can help, I uploaded the corresponding vulkaninfo --show-all outputs here (txt and html formats).
Of course, Battle net works only with the unidentified one. I would like to obtain the following informations about it : type (amdvlk or radv), version(s), associated dynamic libraries paths, package name in my package manager. Can somebody help me to gather (even a part of) these infos ?
As a related question : since the default implementation is not associated to the previous mentioned icd files, can I generate one in order to make the install cleaner ?
Here is my neofetch output :
