We've queued up some fixes that might affect native vulkan titles for the next version of Mesa (26.2.5)

Maybe you want to try that?

I'll try to get access to the game.

Thanks for the reply. I will report once 26.2.5 reaches Arch repos.

Hi, I downloaded Transport Fever 3 last week. First I could play it without a problem. After a couple of days TF3 wanted to update the program and started downloading a long time. After that I was not able to start TF3 anymore. The program produced a popup window with the text ' Could not initialize user profile backend' I searched all the logfiles but there are no messages referring to this error. What can I do?
Kind regards, Johan
