Bug report: Path of exile 2. Game refuse to start with Vulkan renderer + Wayland Drv.
Brief Description
Trying to launch Path of Exile 2 with renderer_type=Vulkan+ PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 lead to just black screen.
Xwayland: Vulkan = launch correctly.
Xwayland: Directx12 = launch correctly.
Wayland drv: Vulkan = black screen.
Wayland drv: Directx12 = launch correctly.
Steps to Reproduce and Frequency:
Frequency: Always.
Steps for reproduce:
1: I’m using proton-ge 10-15.
2: launch options:env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USEWOW64=1 mangohud %command% --nologo. I tried without mangohud and PROTON_USEWOW64=1 also.
3: In"Documents/My Games/Path of Exile 2/poe2_production_Config.ini", edit renderer_type to Vulkan, or from the game itself in game options.
4: Black screen if launched on Vulkan. If we trying to change renderer type from DirectX11/DirectX12 to Vulkan, game will freeze. You can still hear sound and moving mouse around tho.
