Set up Proton games on your Acer Travelmate 5760G running Manjaro.
Set up Proton games on your Acer Travelmate 5760G running Manjaro.
I swapped Pure Arch for Manjaro after facing some frustrating Internet and Pacman problems. I need to play GTA IV, V, Cuphead, VR Chat, and other titles. Games aren’t launching properly. Cuphead suggests installing DirectX 11 but I can’t get it working. The Rockstar Launcher keeps freezing during the install. My GT 540M seems too outdated for Linux gaming—does that mean I should use the proprietary driver instead? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It seems your GPU lacks Vulkan support, a key feature needed for DXVK and VKD3D—the DirectX translation layers that Proton depends on. https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver
The command outputs information about the OpenGL renderer used by the application. You can adjust the launch settings to switch to OpenGL for better performance.
Be aware that games like VRChat depend a lot on DirectX and have undergone significant engine improvements such as moving from Unity 2019.11. It’s best to use the translation layer, so you can operate with OpenGL instead of relying on Vulkan through DirectX translation

It appears you're noticing an entry labeled "390.147 driver" on the Vulkan 1.2 downloads page. This might be a specific version or configuration related to your project or system. Check if it matches what you expect for your use case.
The lower version functioned well, and both Cuphead and GTA IV (as checked) operate smoothly.
Your card relies on the 390.147 driver, but simply because Vulkan belongs to that driver doesn’t guarantee compatibility with its Vulkan version.
The application fails during setup due to unsupported OpenGL extension on the display.
