Well i found another parameter in the configuration file that I had to change to Vulkan, so the game now loads in Vulka,; but it still dose not work correctly for me anyway. That is reported for other Nvidia users also. I can not say if it is because I switched to using the Nvidia driver from the Debian repositories from the Nvidia .run installer or not.
I would revert back to using the nvidia installer if I could, but I am unable to completely remove all the Debian packages right now. I autoremoved the experimental Nvidia-driver, the normal one, and the nvidai-cuda-toolkit. If I restart Debian loads in 396.51 anyway.... In recovery mode I am unable to do anything for some-reason... I can not remove any of the debian packages or install them. When I log in I am able to reinstall the experimental nvidia-driver, though. So I get rid of the experimental repository and maybe install / remove the nvidia-driver after update....

Why would it be trying to install that, if the experimental repository is #'d out in the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
The reason for this is not just to see if the application will load in Vulkan, but I can not load an xorg.conf, to enable cool-bits=28 for overclocking and fan control... The x screen fails to start if I have a xorg.conf.
With the debian packages right now, no xorg.conf
In the past this would generate a xorg.conf also and give me overclocking and fan control:
Code: Select all
sudo nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=28
but now it says command not found.

So I had to put a fresh install of Debian on to find this out....
I reinstall the nvidia driver
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.45.run [easy to uninstall, just add; --unistall]
and did it again with 396.54.02
I found that I can load the game in Vulkan, but it crashes and freezes a lot more than it did yesterday when I was using the debian packed nvidia-driver.
It didn't freeze at all yesterday.
Later on in the day I have 396.54.02 installed.
So it looks like debianSid-vulkan is able to link up with this manual nvidia driver installation... Don't ask me about the 390 drivers... I can't get them to work.
I ctr+alt+f1 and login to normal user
then I
The application loads normally. It is nearly perfect I am able to play and join battles. This is still in alpha testing phase btw...
The only problem is there is an approx. 3 sec stutter every 5-10 sec i that gets more intense as the app demands more resources.
