BUG: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle only runs at ~40% of max TDP on RTX 4090

Hi Everyone, thank you for reporting the problems you are experiencing with the release of Indiana Jones. I can confirm it is the same issue that was encountered with the release of Doom Eternal in 2020 and it will be fixed in the next major driver release. Until then, you can workaround the problem by adding the __GL_13ebad=0x1 environment variable to the game launch options. You can do this by right clicking the game in Steam and selecting the “Properties” option. Once the properties menu has appeared you can enter the following in the “Launch Options” text box:

__GL_13ebad=0x1 %command%

This option tells the NVIDIA Vulkan driver to enable the same codepath that has already been enabled for other idTech titles automatically. Once this option is enabled the Linux Vulkan driver will override application requested memory locations, to ensure performance-critical resources are placed in video memory. Please note that the issue this option is intended to fix is specific to games based on idTech. It will not fix anything other than the performance issue with Indiana Jones on the proprietary NVIDIA Linux driver.
