Starfield does not launch on most NVIDIA GPUs on Linux, and not at all on Pascal GPUs

NVIDIA driver team is actively working on this bug. Here is a update from last week investigation. There appears to be 2 issues.

  1. Failure to launch on Pascal GPU with “Error: Graphics card does not meet the minimal specifications requirements” is due to a missing extension required by VKD3D. Due to hardware limitation, it is not possible to add support.
  2. Failure to launch on Turing and later GPUs. We are still working on a root cause for this.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. We are still working hard on this bug. We are aiming to provide a fix in the next driver branch.
