Hello, Today I tried to run talos principle 2, but it keeps freezing and eventually crashes during the starting loading screen.
This is one of the few times linux gaming has failed on me recently, so I am quite frustrated. ProtonDB gives it a fairly good rating, so I wonder if some part of my setup is wrong or something.
For distro, I am running Pop OS, and installed it in non-home partition. Could that cause issues?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Strange behavior is observed. Once I skip the starting loading sequence (the one with e.g. unreal logo), it works flawlessly. I wonder what is happening while they show me corp logos.
Hmm, then my issue might be caused by nvidia card. It’s GTX 2060 on ASUS laptop.
I am quite sure I exclusively turned on nvidia, tho I gotta double-check, I guess.
the discrete GPU in a hybrid system is very tightly integrated. it usually has control of the external display ports, but not the internal display. usually you can’t turn off the embedded GPU at all.
troubleshooting hybrid graphics can be a nightmare because nvidia won’t tell anyone how they work.
read through the arch wiki article for an explanation. there are also troubleshooting steps in there, some of which are specific the arch and some which should work on a ubuntu-based system like pop.
