Don't download drivers directly from Nvidia and try to install them, it's not like Windows, that'd be a lot of pain. I think there is a tool inside your OS that automatically installed the drivers for you.

I tried installing all the Nvidia stuff will those that many versions of it :roll:

..and its crashed...


@Steve yep that would have been to simple wouldn't it :roll:

I found on a Ubuntu forum there was a auto driver install command which installed a LOT of stuff. I can see a lot more graphical animations inside steam now. But now the game just goes to a black screen and nothing happens. If I alt-tab the screen actually refreshes and I see the game but I can also see the animations are still running incredibly slow :roll:

Overall it seems installing the drivers has actually made things worse :roll: I'm struggling to even get steam to load now :( Unless anyone has any ideas, then I just think games in Linux I just not going to work. :(

:cheers:

Think this is what I ran "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" for future me :lol:

This is how it ran before





And now





So :WTF:
There was something going on in the taskbar near the clock, I forget what it said, something about system synchronising or something :shrug: When it finished everything started to work a lot better :shock: :shock:

Had to hold the camera to video it so its looking a bit crap. Also could not fire any rockets as ran out of hands, but the effects are a lot better presumably because of a later version of DX ? :shrug:

Finally found a brightness controller!

Ooh well that's good news 😁

Possibly could be using a newer kind of directx depending on what the game engine supports. In Linux proton converts directx to Vulkan on the fly, it's called dx2vk as far as I know.
