RS3 doesnt start anymore

[t0msk]

When I try to start RS3 (default settings),it opens and immediately close after this:

Bolt just says:

2:19:03 PM - Game launch status: 'OK'
2:19:03 PM - Latest client is already installed
2:11:28 PM - Game launch status: 'OK'
2:11:28 PM - Latest client is already installed
2:11:12 PM - Game launch status: 'OK'
2:11:12 PM - Latest client is already installed

is there any more "in depth" log to see whats wrong?

Bolt is installed using flathub, and Im running Arch Linux + Wayland,

looks like this is workaround for now: NixOS/nixpkgs#420049

/usr/bin/env SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%

Probably same as #137, so yeah, the fix is to set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 in a custom launch command.

yeah but then I have 10 FPS because its running on CPU, so its pretty much unplayable

[Adamcake]

Do you have xwayland running?

Do you have xwayland running?

yes

I have the same issue. The client starts just fine, I can log in but I get only 3-4 FPS. I have a NVIDIA GPU with xwayland running.

Running the game via Steam works great. Surely, we can achieve the same using some launch arguments so that Bolt can launch with GPU support?

Thanks

First thing to check is always whether it's using your GPU. Open the developer console (hold alt and press the key under Esc) and see what graphics device it's using. If it doesn't look right, especially if it mentions "llvmpipe", it's using a software-based renderer and not using your GPU.

If it's not using your GPU, your system is probably misconfigured.

• Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date and then run flatpak update.
• Try running the game or launcher outside of flatpak. Without the flatpak sandbox, does it work correctly?
• Nvidia sucks. Sorry but it just does. This isn't a very helpful point unless you're willing to upgrade to AMD, but it's at least probably relevant.

Hi @Adamcake,

Thank you for your response.

• Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date and then run flatpak update.

I have tried both the flatpak variant and the one in the AUR, no difference.
NVIDIA-SMI 575.64.03
Driver Version: 575.64.03
CUDA Version: 12.9

• Try running the game or launcher outside of flatpak. Without the flatpak sandbox, does it work correctly?

Yeah, it's not a Flatpak issue as I first tried Bolt via the AUR, I switched to Flatpak hoping it would help.

• Nvidia sucks. Sorry but it just does. This isn't a very helpful point unless you're willing to upgrade to AMD, but it's at least probably relevant.

Irrelevant. There has not been a single game so far I have not been able to run, DLSS and Frame Generation support has been fantastic. Yes, AMD drivers are better; yes X11 support is broader but I don't think these are related.

The fact that I can run Bolt client and the RS3 Steam client side by side shows that this is likely an environment/configuration issue. Ironically, the Steam client is running the Windows client.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Same issue. Did you find any fix? @Robula

No, I'm sorry. I spent several hours trying different things but in the end I followed the instructions here to install the official launcher with RuneLite which worked flawlessly.

@Robula if you are on Nix, override the "enableRS3" config flag to true
