  • Just to clarify, when mentioning problems with battle.net (in general), the issue you’re talking about is that when you click play for a game, afterwards the button shows “running” then switched back to “play” without anything popping up, correct?

    If so, your issues probably aren’t related to anything on your machine except wine (as mentioned by other comments, don’t worry about drivers or vulkan or anything).

    There is a known issue that when switching between wine versions, if that exact scenario occurs, you have to blow away the wine prefix.

    For some games this is harmless, some save config files or saves for players in the prefix.

    Instead of trying to lock drivers or mesa or vulkan to specific versions, instead lock whatever version of wine you have set for battle.net in lutrus to a static version. That includes not using proton-experiemental or proton-ge latest, but instead a set version like proton-ge10.26 (or whatever).


  • Disclaimer, without doing a bunch of digging, my advice will be limited.

    Some questions, are you using X11 or wayland?

    Are you launching battle.net through a different method than the games that do work, i.e. are all your steam games running fine but you launch battle.net through lutris or bottles or something?

    How long has your install been up and running?

    It looks like the vulkan that works is a slightly higher version than the amd and rad ones (the first lines from the files you posted). Vulkan should be getting pulled in by Mesa, i would check to see if you have multiple versions of Mesa installed as well.

    Depending on the cutoff year (when amdgpu as a default driver got replaced with RADV) , whether your cpu has a igpu (again, didn’t look up what gen those where), you could have 2 separate AMD drivers being installed, one for your igpu, and one for your dgpu.

    Also the ones that are labeled (that don’t work but do output when you run those commands) could be used and pulled in because of X11, where the “unidentifed” is being used by wayland) i could be misreading, but i belive that command around pathing is more for X11 than wayland.

    TLDR: the versions should be the first line in the texts you shared. Id figure out what is pulling and installing all 3 of those as deps for you to end up with them on your machine (unlabeled probably mesa, amd and rad probably drivers), and to research id look for some tools to debug and log what happens when you run a program so you can see the paths and LIBS hit.

    Looks like you probably already hit this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan

    Id check out this one too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU



  • The best way for me when i was learning the basics was to have a separate device to experiment and test things on, and not worry about having to wipe and lose anything, and any time I got something working right I would make the changes to my “main”. But that’s was a while ago and things improved since then, and also everyone learns different.

    So I would recommend trying to follow any linux communities on lemmy or reddit to absorb new info (a lot might be wrong or outdated), maybe follow some youtubers ( a few popular tech ones are making the shift to linux and learning from scratch too), and honestly even just memes will help. Just keep in mind that a lot of people state outdated opinions as facts, or repeat wrong info they heard from someone else.

    For more accurate but less hand-holding info, start trying to find good actual forums for Linux, like a disto’s (spin or flavor of linux) forum or “discourse”. As long as you read or search for things before posting, people will generally be nice and willing to help out. Just try to provide any info you can when you post, and don’t have any attitude.

    Advanced and more technical info can be found on an apps or distros website or github.

    If you have specific questions about the Bluetooth keyboard, let me know in the reply and I’ll try to help!

    P.S ignore all distro recommendations till you get more experience, in the beginning the biggest hurdles will be switching from windows to Linux, difference between distros do matter but are much smaller than people sometimes make them out to be. You should stick with one, preferably whatever a buddy or favorite YouTube is using, and save distro hopping till later.
