System Information

warn: OpenXR: Unable to get required Vulkan instance extensions size 10698.743:0134:017c:err:vulkan:init_vulkan Failed to load Wine graphics driver supporting Vulkan. 10698.743:0134:017c:err:vulkan:init_vulkan Failed to load Wine graphics driver supporting Vulkan. info: Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported

Reproduction

Download Marathon.

Use Experimental [bleeding-edge] branch Proton.
Run with PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME="/home/theo/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton BattlEye Runtime/" %command%

Issue has been reproduced by the kind folks on the Marathon Discord on other platforms (Fedora Linux, Nvidia) and receives same error.

What I tried to fix this:

  • Using GE Proton, TKG Proton, Proton Hotfix, Proton 8, Proton 9.
  • Manually installing dxvk (latest and 1.10) in prefix
  • Running without any command line arguments
  • running with DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="llvmpipe" / "LLVMPIPE"
  • Confirmed Vulkan 32 bit and 64 bit drivers were installed and configured
