I installed the latest AMDVLK, but RADV is still the default Vulkan driver. Also, I tried AMD_VULKAN_ICD=AMDVLK and it did nothing. The only way to load AMDVLK is by using the old method:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd32.json:/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json

Quoting: axredneckWhat is a right way to use Proton outside Steam?

Just point to its executable like this:
export WINEPREFIX=~/.proton
<location_to_Proton>/dist/bin/wine <location_to_the_game>/game.exe

But you need to install dxvk first like this:
export WINEPREFIX=~/.proton
winetricks 173

AMDVLK is now used by default? I do not like that at all.

Can I run native OpenGL games as Vulkan games through Zink, and use vkBasalt with them?

DM me. I can get you a Steam key for free.

Thanks for your offer man. I don't need this game, I just didn't expect it to be blocked. I went to Youtube to know what its story, and I didn't get the reason for it to be blocked. Anyway, thanks again.

Quoting: ShmerlThat's Steam backend compiling shaders for specific architecture on the server, and then downloading and using it for local games. Not what they called online in the above quote.

Ok, I hope that you are right about that.

Quoting: ShmerlI think by online compilation they mean what I said above. Online → runtime. That should make it more clear. Simply compilation of shaders on your computer during game execution. Nothing to do with online as "on the network".

And what this option in Steam does exactly?!

Do you have an exact quote? I'm not sure what "online compilation" means. Possibly just on demand, during game execution.

They removed the direct link to the announcement, but it is still number 2 in their news page, you just need to scroll down in this link

I don't know if we excluded online game shaders, it will give the same result or not, because no one made any reviews.

Quoting: torbidoIs there any review or an article to backup your words?

That's what it is. A shader compiler for the Vulkan driver (radv). I.e. why do you assume it's something to do with Steam (service)? If you think so, you should have a source for such assumption, not the other way around.

Because in its announcement they mentioned "online compilation of game shaders", and I asked where can we download these game shaders, and no one knew the answer, and when I used Steam, I found that it automatically downloading these shaders before running the game, so I assumed that it will be only available for Steam games only, because they are not available anywhere else.
