NVIDIA have again pushed out a brand new Vulkan beta driver, with version 418.31.03 now available with game fixes and new extensions.
As a reminder, these drivers are a special series all by themselves, done outside of their normal driver series to test new features, new API extensions and other interesting stuff.
Here's whats new and changed in this release:
- New Extensions:
- Fixes:
- Hitman 2 visual corruption on Linux when running with dxvk translation
- Total War Warhammer II crash or hang when using Alt-Tab on Linux
It's good to see NVIDIA act so quickly to help improve Linux gaming, also interesting to see drivers get special adjustments just for projects like DXVK. Not surprising though, since it's included in Valve's Steam Play. The more games playable on Linux, the wider the testing area they have.
See the full info on the NVIDIA website.
Hat tip to Jack!

Quoting: compholioWhich you're so clearly told not to use ;)Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: compholio...Again, like the other link someone gave, this is not the correct one. The one I linked to in my first comment is the correct one, but it's not being updated.
Staging (DO NOT USE)
(currently at 418.30)
Yeah, Michael Marley is clearly not updating the "correct" dev PPA anymore - but he has his own PPAs and he does make updates there. He has actually posted the 418.31.03 driver now, but it's to his "staging 2" PPA.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistQuoting: mrdeathjrIs this Yakuza 0 or Yakuza Kiwami?
According nvidia json file:
{ "fileformat_version" : "1.0.0", "ICD": { "library_path": "NV_VK_ICD_", "api_version" : "1.1.99" } }

I know Yakuza 0 works via SteamPlay / DXVK, but Kiwami got released yesterday and I'm curious if it works as well (there are no reports on ProtonDB yet).

And this is why I install my NVIDIA drivers in the command line.
