Symptoms

The game worked fine before 20th August. I used proton version 6.3, My launch options were prime-run %command% and it all worked fine. On 21st I updated my system and it updated some packages, some of which I suspect are causing this behaviour, namely

[2021-08-21T15:52:12+0530] [ALPM] upgraded glib2 (2.68.3-1 -> 2.68.4-1)
[2021-08-21T15:52:12+0530] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-glib2 (2.68.3-1 -> 2.68.4-1)
[2021-08-21T15:52:12+0530] [ALPM] upgraded mesa (21.1.6-1 -> 21.2.1-1)
[2021-08-21T15:52:13+0530] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-mesa (21.1.6-1 -> 21.2.1-1)
[2021-08-21T15:52:13+0530] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-pam (1.5.1-1 -> 1.5.1-2)
[2021-08-21T15:52:13+0530] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-vulkan-radeon (21.1.6-1 -> 21.2.1-1)

This lead to the game giving Error: Failed to initialize graphics device. Please reboot or reinstall latest graphics drivers. error everytime I try to start it with my dGPU. It start normally with my iGPU. This issue is persistent ONLY with this game. Other games seem to work fine as before.

Reproduction

  1. Start the game with prime-run %command% as launch option.
