Hello,

I'm using Proton to run Elder Scrolls Online. Note that I'm not using the steam version, I installed the stand alone version and run it with proton.
With always worked pretty well, until the last update of proton, right after the update the game couldn't use DX anymore.

I'm using Proton experimental. The game still work if I switch the compatibility tool to Proton 7.0.

Some useful information:

  • I'm running on ArchLinux (Linux 5.18)
  • I'm running the dkms Nvidia drivers (515.65.01-2)
  • I'm running mesa 22.1.4-1
  • vulkaninfo shows I am using vulkan 1.3.221

I tried with 2 computers with the same versions, each time I could start the game without the proton update, and I couldn't right after the update was done.

I am really sorry for the misuse of the issues, but it was a stupid mistake on my side.
If that helps anyone: I'm using the flatpak version, and a Steam update was pending in the background, so I was probably missing a lib update. So if you have the same issue, make sure the steam package is up to date.
