    Hello.
    It's been a while since i've run AOC on linux. I had previously had it setup with the lutris/steam setup and everything worked. Now I get the following

    I've reinstalled everything including vulkan and wine libraries. It doesn't matter what proton version I chose I always get this. Here is some more vulkan info if anyone finds that interesting.

    Thank you! This would never have occurred to me but is exactly what's happening.

    -DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME= deviceName, which I got from vulkaninfo --summary was what it wanted. The problem left is that I don't think I'm understanding something about the needed syntax.

    using just 
    DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" %command%
    in the launch options does work to force it to use the dedicated AMD GPU but runs into the error that prevents it from showing available servers.

    This: 
    eval $(%command% LauncherTetherPort=$(ss -tulpn | grep wine serv | ak '{split($4, a , ":"); print a[2]}' ) -USEEOS=0 -DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT")

    does not work, nor does adding the argument to the wrapper file @Sythriox suggested..

    When this is working
    DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" %command%

    then maybe you need to write it before the %command% like
    eval $(DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" %command% LauncherTetherPort=$(ss -ulpn | awk '/wineserv/ {split($4, a, ":"); print a[2]}') -USEEOS=0 -DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60)

    or you can try it outside the brackets
    eval $(%command% LauncherTetherPort=$(ss -ulpn | awk '/wineserv/ {split($4, a, ":"); print a[2]}') -USEEOS=0 -DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60) DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" %command%

    Yep. Tried starting 100% from scratch from the updated tutorial. No luck.

    In case anyone's interested, I have had absolutely no luck getting things working with my RTX 5090. Tried about everything I could think of. I run dual gpus 5090 and a770. Plugged the monitors into the a770 and was able to get things working by forcing things to run on the intel gpu.

    It wasn't enough to just tell it to run on the intel gpu, I had to make the main display device the intel GPU by plugging in all display out to the intel gpu and rebooting. Here are the arguments I am using.

    Can you please type nvidia-smi and show me?

    Also be sure you have nvidia-open and nvidia-utils for wayland installed, not the nvidia package as this brings known problems to the 50 series RTX.

    Using the nvidia-open drivers; those are the only ones supported for blackwell anyways. Everythings installed as it should be as far as I can tell. This is the only game that is giving me issues. I can play every other game including UE5 games like dune with no issue.

    Hey guys im running linux mint and was able to get the game running following a youtube guide from funkychicken tv. everything seems to be working ok but after a minute or so i get a video memory error.
    "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting..."

    For me, the game now runs only with Faugus, without steam or anything else

    For Mint users, getting closer https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/08/linux-mint-22-2-beta-available-for-the-next-long-term-supported-release/ On top of it will be able to use Nvidia drivers 550, 570, and 580.

    For the path on Faugus launcher, did you just put in AOCClient.exe? or did you set it to the launcher?

    Is this still working?

    I had the same luck as Othus but without needing to do the second entry from Steam. Launcher launches the game for me without issue. This was Arch with the arch ProtonGE package on latest Nvidia drivers. Sadly internet is offline (thanks, Xfinity) or I’d try it with Proton CachyOS tonight after work.

    I also had it working little over week ago by adding the installer to steam and running it in proton experimental and just launching it when installed, added the launcher as a non-steam game to it also for ease of use. Now that I tried to play I get stuck on the cloudflare authentication, it just keeps spinning.

    No, absolutely not. That would be putting an environment variable declaration after a command / binary name.

    Yes, it shouldn't work, because it's wrong. First of all, it's not -DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" ... it's not a command line switch or argument, it's setting an environment variable.

    DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" eval $(%command% LauncherTetherPort=$(ss -ulpn | awk '/wineserv/ {split($4, a, ":"); print a[2]}') -USEEOS=0 -DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60) %command%]

    ^^ is what you want.

    You could also set that variable for your entire session (.bashrc, .profile, what have you.)

    EDIT: Also I don't know what that -USEEOS=0 -DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 stuff is, best stick to the guide to get stuff working, then add your extra params, because people are having a hard time understanding what these lines do and where to put things.

    I'm stuck at cloudflare verifying humanity after clicking login on the launcher. Has anyone found a fix?

    Edit: That was on Arch using hyprland, also on my laptop running Omarchy (essentially the same thing). I tried installing on my computer running Nobara and managed to get past the cloudflare loop. The game is downloading.

    Anyone else having issues with Cloudflare? I've gone through the Faugus and the direct Steam install and both hang on the Cloudflare auth. It spins and spins and refreshes and spins. Thoughts?

    E: I was able to get through install and launch using FunkyChickensTV method, but it would crash with a Code 31 every time at launch.
