Game not rendering on GPU

[ConsularParadi]

Hi, I am trying to run Wolf on a 950M using the nvidia-container-toolkit. I realized I have a multi GPU laptop and hence have added the env vars:

   9   │       - WOLF_RENDER_NODE=/dev/dri/renderD129
  10   │       - WOLF_ENCODER_NODE=/dev/dri/renderD129

as per this output
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 19 17:55 /sys/class/drm/renderD129/device/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/nvidia/

wolf and sway are running on gpu as per nvidia-smi but Far Cry 5 which I am trying to run through Lutris still runs on CPU. I have gone through the issues but could not find anything related to this. Can you help me out ?

Hey,

Could you set debug on the wolf config, reproduce and attach the log along with the wolf compose / docker run command your using to launch.

Based on the info you have provided it looks like you have set the render and encoder variable to renderD129. Is the second output confirmation that renderD129 is the nvidia device?

Also your using container toolkit? Have you tried the other method mentioned in the QuickStart guide for wolf?

Hey @salty2011,

Here are the logs when wolf container starts up : https://pastebin.com/DNzUeAvU
And here is the docker compose file: https://pastebin.com/KPNkzKQK

Yes, I set the render and encoder variable as per the multi-GPU setup. Earlier I was running it on a server which worked out of the box but now I am trying to run it on my personal machine which has an integrated intel gpu so went with D129 according to the output.

A quick attempt at the manual method results in the container restarting multiple times. Logs: https://pastebin.com/FKRyCd4L
The WolfPulseAudio container is not created when I look at my portainer dashboard or docker ps but wolf container keeps restarting.

Ok, a few things:

• Can you also post the exact docker run or docker-compose.yml file that you are using to run Wolf? I suspect something is misconfigured there.
• The 950M GPU is a 10 years old card that can barely run anything, I think it's unrealistic that you'll be able to play FarCry 5 on that one. 4GB of VRAM is extremely low nowadays, you'll easily hit all kind of issues.

Here is the docker compose file I am using -> https://pastebin.com/KPNkzKQK

The GPU was able to run the game with decent FPS on Windows 3-4 years ago. But I get what you are saying, drivers may not be completely compatible with a GPU this old. I am planning on buying new hardware in the near future. Just testing out what services I would want to run in my Homelab.

Hey, it seems that Lutris preferences have to be set to the particular GPU you want to use in a multi-gpu setup to be able to use it while gaming. The game is able to run GPU now. Might help others who have an integrated GPU or multi-GPU setup
