Anyone know how to make the Finals use my graphics card?

So i have a problem plsying the Finals on linux. They are clearly garbage graphics. The walls dont even look how they are supposed to and the permanent fog makes it unplayable. The shadowing is too dark. Forget fps, when play on windows and linux it is night and day. Its as if the game isnt using its correct shaders or textures.

Has anyone dealt with this? Im thinking that the finals is not utilizing my nvidia graphics card so if anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate.

I tried letting vulkan load the shaders, ive tried skipping vulkan shaders and there is no difference. Im using proton glorious egg and i have no idea what to do or what the problem is.

Some other stuff you might try is making sure you’re using proton experimental, and try the launch options: PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -dx11

Holy shit that worked. I already had what you suggested except for the extra stuff like command and dx11.

That fixed the graphical issue. Now i have this new issus where actions cause stutters. If nade explodes or if i shoot it causes stutters for the first few times.

I don’t know what distro you are on. I had the same problem with 2 games. Stormworks and Cyberpunk 2077. I’m on Arch and installed nvidia-prime from the AUR. Then for just those two games in the steam launch options I put prime-run in there. That fixed the problem for me. I did use nvtop to verify that it was using the igpu instead of my GTX 1060.

When stormworks was running on the igpu it was at 3fps. Now it’s buttery smooth. No other games I play have had that issue.

Maybe let’s just go back to basics to double check:. Is your monitor plugged into your gpu, or your motherboard?

Well, if you have a suspicion, start with confirming it. Simplest test, does the card get hot? Is the fan spinning up? If you install a gpu monitor does it show a spike? Does your CPU even have integrated graphics?

Yeah, he can use something like nvtop. Should make it really easy to see if it’s being used.

That’s not how you do that.

Check a GPU monitor like ‘nvtop’ and ensure the card is engaged. Also check ‘nvidia-smi’ and ensure your driver is properly loaded and ready to work.

Hey - I’m not OP but thanks for the nvtop suggestion. Just installed it and yeah – neat!
