  • [✓] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Changing resolution is not successful

Reproduction

  1. Run game.
  2. Go to options, system.
  3. Video, resolution.
  4. Change it from 800x600 to required.
  5. Apply, yes.
  6. GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem.

tried crossover - no success, proton experimental and hotfix - doesnt work

Runs fine on AMD here.

Problem is it's an OpenGL game and therefore it defaults to trying to use your iGPU, proven here:

lsd@Crawler-E25:~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon Graphics (radeonsi, renoir, ACO, DRM 3.61, 6.14.0-15-generic)

unlike DirectX games being translated to vulkan, OpenGL games DO NOT default to the dGPU.

What processor do you have? The Ryzen 7000 (and higher) series CPUs have an iGPU but it is not powerful enough to run any games, which would most likely be why it's failing.

To make it use your Nvidia GPU with OpenGL you need to use the environment variables documented by Nvidia:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

It could also be a mesa opengl issue specific to that iGPU model. If you still want to make it use your iGPU without using Nvidia you could also try running it through zink -- which would force OpenGL to Vulkan translation:

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink %command%

@GloriousEggroll
GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem - forcing zink,
nvidia-smi saying game its started under nvidia, but after resolution change its same result

@kisak-valve
@GloriousEggroll ok i realized whats the problem
my screen is dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (508x286 millimeters) BOE NV156FHM‑N4G 15,6 screen

i was setting out of scale 1600 * 1200 resolution, so game wasnt returning to previous resolution, it prefers to crash itself, which i dont know, its a bug in game itself or in proton?

Theres no availabe resolution which i want (1920x1080) to choose, so thats why i was trying to overscale it.
