@askiiart probably isn't a vulkan issue then. tf2 is also using dxvk now. i just tried and it seemed to work fine for me. i doubt this will help but my launch options are: -novid -nojoy -nosteamcontroller -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -noquicktime -fullscreen and you don't need LD_PRELOAD anymore since tf2 no longer depends on 32-bit libtcmalloc_minimal
@askiiart hmm that's odd. I was going to suggest the LD_PRELOAD variable but I don't think that's needed anymore. I know you tried OpenGL but do you have issues with other Vulkan games? I can see if it still works on my arch install when I get home this afternoon
