Hello, you should be able to get the game to launch on Linux, it seems some Nvidia cards require the launch option: “VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6 %command%” but the latest driver (535) will crash during loading.
You can try a project on github called nvidia-all if there is no easier way to rollback to get drivers 525 or 530, which will boot the game and allow getting into gameplay. The launch option is also required with older drivers.
However, these crash every few minutes or so. At least they do crash a lot for me (on Pascal, GTX 1080), I cannot really tell for more modern GPUs.
This post describes the nvidia-all approach if you feel like using it:
Nvidia has so far acknowledge they added this to their bug tracking, and people on github working on vkd3d also have contacted em. This is wip apparently.
Their last post details their week’s worth of work and weirdly they say they won’t be able to fix all issues impact Pascal (which is odd because the crashing is a separate issue unrelated to Pascal itself, more so to the drivers not hardened to avoid unproper engine calls).
