DLSS unavailable on Linux (flatpak launcher)

[Jovicic]

See: goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher#1559 (comment)

Option for DLSS upscaling is grayed out in in-game settings.

When launching from lutris, with GE-Proton9.9 I have the option for DLSS.
I followed this guide to get the updated DLSS version: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy14/mods/2196?tab=description
Unfortunately, it was not possible for me to figure out how to force the injection of dxgi.dll using the flatpak launcher.

Could this be a part of the issue? https://github.com/goatcorp/wine-xiv-git/blob/8bf9cd7adda9e6d00e23f8193a609b723c54e0a6/proton-tkg/proton_template/conf/user_settings.py#L33C1-L37C33

Thry this, following the instructions for dxvk 1.10 and prior. https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi?tab=readme-ov-file#wine--wine-staging

My current workaround is using the RB-fork of the launcher:

sudo dnf copr enable rankyn/xivlauncher
sudo dnf install XIVLauncher-RB

In the launcher, I selected [Wine-GE] xiv-Proton8-26 and DXVK 2.3.1 GPLAsync.

Now it's working.

Not working, DLSS still greyed out. CPU @ 30% at first menu.
Cleanly exits on exit

Deleted the wineprefix, and set ^ these.

Thanks, this worked! Was searching for this.

My workaround:

Installed Steam
Installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonup-qt
Installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xivlauncher-rb

Install Proton9-9 to steam using protonup-qt

Run xivlauncher-rb

Wine tab: Set installation type to "Steam Runtime with Proton" and Proton Version to: "[GE-Proton] GE-Proton9-9
DXVK tab: DXVK 2.3.1 GPLAsync

Login, Start game. DLSS should now be available in graphic options.

Sorry for the bump, but to clarify: the solution to "no DLSS in flatpak" is to not use flatpak at all?
And run a fork of XIVLauncher?

EDIT: Actually spending some time on it, I see now that -RB fork has a flatpak release file and I was able to use that without any other tricks. DLSS option became available, all default options from -RB. I was however shocked when DLSS didn't open any options (like Performance/Balance/Quality). I might end up going back to default with FSR anyway!
