SE2 do not let me enable Ray tracing when I use Proton. How can I force it to enable it anyway
Not Enough Votes
I have a PC with a RTX3070 dual-booted windows and linux. When I play SE2 on windows I can max it with RTX. But when I play SE2 on linux with the proton compatibility layer the game do not detect my card and do not let me enable Ray tracing. How can I bypass this lock and force the game to enable the raytracing anyway?
Thank you for your work. I love the game and I realy want to help to bring it on all platform. Like, no joke, SE2 Alpha run better on linux than ANY other games I own. This is realy impressive.
Intel i9-9900k

What proton version/distro/nvidia driver version are you running on? I'm on Manjaro with Proton Experimental and Mesa 24.2.8-1 (AMD card) and ray tracing works completely fine out of the box. I know that with older versions of Proton/Mesa while RT existed it wasn't enabled by default - I'm not 100% sure with Nvidia, but maybe you need to pass some launch arguments to explicitly enable RT? I'm seeing a few posts around the net that suggest setting "PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1" in the launch arguments, but not sure if that's still necessary or if it is if that's all that's necessary to get it working and without an nvidia card I can obviously not test that myself.

My linux setup is Kubuntu 24.10 with nvidia 565.77 driver and proton experimental on steam.
I already tried that launch argument and a lot more. No mater what I tryed, I couldn't make SE2 détectmy graphic card properly. The thing is, My card is use to render the game. nvidia_smi show an increase in gpu utilisation when I play the game. And even with everything maxout I have a stable 60fps wihtout FSR at 1440p. I also try to run RTX on other games (Control, Portal RTX and cyberpunk 2077) and I have ray tracing and good performance at 1440p.
I am reay not sure what I do wrong on SE2 but I realy want to know what is appenning.

Hm, then I also don't know what could be going on - maybe some peculiarity in the RT implementation that makes it not like the nvidia drivers on Linux. Sorry I couldn't help, hope you'll figure it out at some point (or it gets fixed)

I'm interested in that, as I have the same issue.
Debian stable with nvidia stable driver 550 (installed from the .run).
Proton eggroll 9.23
Liquorix kernel 6.12.9
I have the same issue with the riftbreaker, probably some drivers version, or mesa ? Atm it's not very important for me, as I have a older cpu, but I'm interested to know why we have that issue.
