Installing Vulcan Drivers

[main]

Trying to force a steam game to work on WINE. The only time I can get a human-readable error code is if I ctrl-alt-f3 into text-only mode, in which case WINE tells me it detects no Vulcan drivers. I have already manually updated my Nvidia drivers to 4.60 using the .run (since new drivers are not available via apt) as requested by the Steam error code, but I'm thinking that I'll get better luck trying to run directly with WINE so I'm installing these instead. Having issues with apt-get, where the package mesa-vulkan-drivers is just freezing the terminal:

main@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install mesa-vulkan-drivers

Already tried this, stopped it, killed it, and then ran it again. It has given no further output for half an hour now. Given my research on the matter, I seem to need "vulkan" or "mesa" drivers, preferably unstable ones. How can I reasonably install these? Or force this installation to go through?

Terminal is still frozen.

Did you follow debian wiki for steam?
https://wiki.debian.org/Steam

It says there what you need for NVIDIA to get workign vulcan. Also what GPU do you have, not all can run vulcan. At least those older ones can't.

I haven't been following that guide. But I'm doing the same thing. I downloaded the proprietary Nvidia drivers from the .run. When trying to run the game via WINE in text-only mode, it gave me the error that WINE did not have the proper Vulkan drivers, so I tried to install mesa-vulkan-drivers. Which is also what the guide suggests, so this isn't me doing the wrong thing. Problem is when I try to install mesa-vulkan-drivers, after choosing the options it simply freezes indefinitely (waited 4 hours) and does not take ctrl+c. I need to force-close it and then manually unlock dpkg. Does the same thing in terminal-only display.

I'm running a 980ti, which is supported.

Steam has its own fork of wine called proton, are you trying to force to use wine or what? As it seems to me you are trying to run it with wine instead of steam proton?

Is there are reason you are using wine instead of proton?

A trivial bit of searching at repology.org or packages.debian.org, or a question asked here, would have revealed that buster-backports currently has 460.73.01, https://packages.debian.org/stable-back ... cs-drivers.

Perhaps reading this guide in the Debian wiki would also help you in the future: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian ... ll_scripts
