I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.

Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.

Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.

I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.

Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/

If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.

But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.

• Problem occurs in both x11 and wayland
• Window vs fullscreen makes no difference
• ProtonDB has some additional flags, I tried them all
• I tried several proton versions from 8 to 9, GE and no GE. Made no difference

See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.

What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.

Thanks a bunch!

Very disappointing. They delayed the game for a few weeks and then for 5 months. How did anyone think the November date could be achieved?

Guess I’ll look for a community updated database for this year.

Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I’m not gonna play a 6/10 game. I’m not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.

This is really nice for games optimized for the touch screen such as Football Manager or Magic the Gathering. Holding the deck with one hand and playing with the other is uncomfortable after a while.

Thanks for remembering me! I ended up getting a pillow for iPad.

This looks like a much, much nicer solution. Unfortunately shipping to Portugal alone is 71 euros making this a truly unreasonable price for me. Hopefully they get really popular and come to Europe!

Yep, it’s off :(

It really is crazy. I’m happy that keyboards are becoming more mainstream. Too many people use shitty keyboards! Invest in your tools, people!

It’s not lightning that adds up to the price, it’s stuff like aluminum case, quality mechanical switches and yes, keycaps.

Unfortunately these gamer keyboards have the worst keycaps you’ve ever seen, the cheapest Chinese switches money can buy and the highest amount of telemetry on that oh so important software. It’s pretty disgusting.

The mechanical keyboard trend has been around for a while and it’s really worth checking out if you use a keyboard for 8 hours a day.
