BG3 Vulkan problem? Please help in c/linux_gaming

That would require the Steam runtime. I will try some other runners in version 7 first, I expect they should have the same patches applied:

there should be runner settings

Oh yes, there are! They are all nicely organized, with short description using the Gnome UI language. I prefer Bottles so much to the other launchers but I could get some games to run in the past only using Lutris with its install script database...

Long time for me too :) but the game ran here almost perfectly sometime after its release, at high or even maximum settings at that.

(I don't remember the version I used, though)

I will rather skip the Vulkan version then, thank you. I will update the post with version information but how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?

The game used to work some half year ago. After the massive update I deleted the files and redownloaded the whole game anew

Run through Bottles (flatpak) on Fedora Silverblue, AMD GPU, lutris-GE-Proton8-26

edit edit:

6.8.8-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Radeon RX 6700 XT
amd-gpu-firmware-20240410-1.fc39.noarch

Neither bg3.exe nor bg3_dx11.exe launch the game for me, so I use the LariLauncher.exe.

with DirectX11 the game starts but there are bad textures, including on the very first rendered screen.
with Vulkan I get this error and the game crashes still at this loading screen.

The launcher complains about data mismatch but Heroic Launcher which I use to download my gog files apparently thinks it is fine. Although, the "Verify and Repair" button takes only couple of seconds.

Any ideas please?

In Czech one could say Amíci! Latin anyone?
