I'm trying to get Victoria 3 to work but it keeps crashing. I opened a ticket with Paradox support, and this is what they found.
It is odd that the system.log sees the video as llvmpipe/MESA, whereas you have an nVidia 2070 card in fact (which doesn't use or need MESA), and that's what I normally see in system.log. My Linux knowledge is pretty rusty, do you know what that llvmpipe reading signifies?
So my question is two pronged. First, what is llvmpipe and it's relation to NVIDIA cards. The second is how do I set it so it is not reading MESA.
If it helps, my current distro is Devuan Daedalus, and the NVIDIA driver is 525.147.05.
Thanks!

To follow up, based on my conversation with Paradox Support, my computer is using OpenGL instead of Vulkan. According to them, Victoria 3 will not work with OpenGL. Can you let me know how to switch from OpenGL to Vulkan?
Thanks!

Your situation is quite peculiar.
First of all, llvmpipe should only work when you have NO proper driver on your system. That means neither the open source, nor the closed source (company) Nvidia driver.
Second, inxi shows a proper, working closed source Nvidia driver on your computer, which is good. But this contradicts the previous statement.
Also, the Nvidia driver should have installed Vulkan support as well. Just to be sure, please check your installed packages, try to look for something like "nvidia-vulkan" or similar.
I am not an expert in Devuan based distros, so your problems might or might not be related to that, like possible missing packages.

I know for a fact that the launcher for Stellaris got wrecked with one of the updates some time ago and I am not sure whether they fixed it yet.

I'm not seeing an option to post attachments. Can you let me know how to so I can add the other logs as needed?
As for multiarch, I thought it was enabled since in order to run steam it had to be enabled, but if there is another step regarding enabling it, please let me know.
Thanks everyone.
