NVidia drivers are not found with each new update of steam

[soumyaDghosh]

I have Nvidia RTX3050 with intel i7 11th gen. In the steam snap with all options maxed out, I get stutters and some frame drops in NFS, but tested with steam deb version. It's not the same there, it works smoothly. The game probably doesn't support mangohud, so, I can't actually calculate/show the fps. I do have a 144hz display, and it's the game play that doesn't feel as it's in the deb version. Any way to give more info/debug this, I'd surely give the details as asked.

Could you provide the information given from running snap run steam.report?

Also, do you have nvidia-smi available on your system? If so, does NFS appear in nvidia-smi after running it? (You can use nvidia-smi -l to continuously update)

Apparently I cannot even run the game anymore from steam snap. Getting this.

Can run the game from the deb and things are the same both xorg & wayland.

[ashuntu]

Does running sudo /usr/lib/snapd/snap-discard-ns steam (with Steam closed), and then running Steam and the game change things at all?

If not, what about restarting your computer?

Failing all that, what about uninstalling and reinstalling the Steam snap?

We've had scattered reports before of GPU driver updates breaking the Snap until doing the above, so these are just workarounds.

[soumyaDghosh]

I had to reinstall steam. But, this time, I installed it from the edge version and the game seemed to be better than before. Closing this issue for now.

[soumyaDghosh]

@ashuntu with each new update of steam, the nvidia gpu is breaking. I think this is an issue

I am still facing this issue. Requesting @ashuntu to reopen this

[gazhay]

Every driver update causes steam to fail to detect vulkan.

Reinstalling the snap is not a solution as if you don't purge it essentially gzips every game and takes years. If you do purge then you have to reinstall every game again.

At the moment even a reinstall has not fixed my vulkan, i've spent more time trying to get this running that I played games in the last 3 weeks.

[ashuntu]

This is especially important at the moment due to changes coming in the snap and snapd, what channels/versions of the snap are you running?

snap info steam snap info snapd

[ashuntu]

Since there hasn't been an update in a while, and this may be resolved by snapd 2.64 anyway, I'll close this issue for now. Feel free to reopen if it's still a problem.

To test snapd, you can switch to edge by running snap refresh snapd --edge (then a restart is advised). Make sure to revert to stable after testing with snap refresh snapd --stable.
