Hello,
Since a week or so ago I keep encountering this error every time I try t… o launch a game from Heroic Launcher or Steam alike:
I'm on Fedora 39 (KDE Wayland) on a laptop with dedicated Nvidia GPU, and am not yet very proficient in the ways of Linux. I tried reinstalling Fedora several times (for this and other unrelated issues) and for a couple of days everything works flawlessly, but then breaks suddenly and without any evident reason. Searching online for answers I found that disabling the "Auto Install/Update DXVK on Prefix" and "Auto Install/Update VKD3D on Prefix" options on Heroic works as a rough patch; similarly, setting `PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %COMMAND%` as a launch option on Steam, I manage to launch the games (albeit with major graphical glitches and performance impairments). I figured to ask here about it since the issue seems to be related to dxvk. Here is one of the games' log file after a launch attempt:
[game-LastPlay.log](https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/files/14920996/game-LastPlay.log)
Any help is appreciated as I really don't know how to approach this. Thanks
Edit: since I forgot to mention it, here's my system information.
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (Mobile)
- Driver: 550.67
- DXVK version: 2.3.1 (through Heroic Launcher and Steam flatpaks)
- OS: Fedora 39 (KDE spin, Wayland compositor)
Doesn't seem to be a Wayland-specific issue because the error pops up in X11 sessions too. Furthermore, sometimes (though rarely) upon booting up everything works without throwing any errors, and I can perfectly play my games.
Edit 2: I found a temporary solution that works really well for some reason. Before opening your preferred game launcher, you just need to run `sudo vulkaninfo`. After doing so every game runs flawlessly and the system behaves like there wasn't any error in the first place. I can't really wrap my head around it as of **why** it works, but I'm not complaining tbh
Edit3: Found a permanent solution, check my last comment!
Hello kind people, I recently installed Fedora 39 KDE on my laptop, which has a dedicated Nvidia Gtx 1650ti GPU. As I planned to game a fair bit on it, I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers through rpmfusion and signed them to work with safe...

In version 550.78 everything is unchanged…
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.
I’m sorry, I’ve attached it herenvidia-bug-report.log.gz (396.8 KB)
Reading the github issue and the logfiles, I guess you should manually add the nvidia modules nvidia,nvidia-drm,nvidia-modeset to the initrd:https://www.suse.com/de-de/support/kb/doc/?id=000019945
The instructions did not work because they are not suitable for Fedora. I added modules to the grub and modprobe load, but this did not bring any results, the error remains.

I’m not a fedora user, but that’s what search engines are for:
For Fedora, just put the module name in /etc/modprobe.conf and run mkinitrd. See also Common kernel problems - Fedora Project Wiki .
Thank you for your “invaluable” help, only this is outdated documentation, and the current one is here: Working with Kernel Modules :: Fedora Docs . I did everything according to it, there was no effect.

Please disable the simpledrm driver and check if that helps.
I specified nvidia-drm.modeset=1 in grub, the problem remained.
Please check flatpak for installed nvidia support:
The problem is still present on driver 555.58.02.nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (417.1 KB)
