Hi All,
I get an infrequent error when playing balder gate 3 on Fedora Workstation 40. I run it in direct x11 as vulkan crashed all the time. Any ideas how to fix?
PS very new to Linux/GNU so let me know if you need any additional information.
Are you running it through Lutris? Steam with Proton? That error seems decidedly like a Wine specific problem, which Proton should have ironed out at this stage for this particular game.
*Unless you’re trying to play on hardware with incomplete Vulkan support. Then it’s a hardware support problem that is unlikely to be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.
I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0
After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently

Try using Protonup-QT to install the latest GE-Proton version on your machine, restart Steam and then set the game to run with GE-Proton.
Personally it usually works for me with Experimental, but GE is generally the best.
Are you on Gnome, KDE, or some other desktop environment? I know KDE Wayland and Nvidia do NOT play nice (presently).
Have you tried switching Proton versions? Also check protondb.com as people will often post solutions in their reports.
