Solved Linuxulator-steam-utils (rl9) 3D acceleration fails (AMD and NVIDIA)

Greetings all,

As far as my experience goes, LSU might be the logical option when it comes to installing and running Steam games on FreeBSD.

I've compiled and took care of all dependencies, Steam is up and running, stable with sound, no issues.

Unfortunately, I can't figure it out on how to make 3D acceleration work on Steam games. As suggested, I used the provided script (linux-chroot) to test 3D. I can confirm that 3D is available and working with Linux compatibility.

I am a little confused on what compatibility tools should be used/installed to run games: On Compatibility tab one can currently select FreeBSD Wine (proton-wine) and LSU chroot with Proton 8.

Legacy is the recommended way for AMD/Intel cards, but it's not available? How would one install it?

LSU chroot Proton 8 complains about lacking Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime, the game won't start. With FreeBSD Wine most titles will start but will fail to run with no 3D acceleration.

GPU is a NAVI31.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
Assetto Corsa Competitizone/EVO and iRacing. The first two give me a blank screen, iRacing complains about not having enough graphics.

I also tried a "free" game, War Thunder which gives the option to run it on the LSU chroot Legacy Steam Runtime. It works fine with FreeBSD wine. Not the most demanding game I suspect, but FPS were on the roof (200+).
 
I had the opportunity to grab a used NVIDIA, so I decided to get it to test it further.

Re-installed everything, drivers are in place and I have a working Wayland (Sway) desktop environement, with 3D acceleration:

Well, if you want GLX (that is, GL for X11) with Wayland, it's up to you to make it work.

Isn't that what XWayland is for?

Nevertheless, I got rid of Wayland, but still the same result.

I removed linux compat entirely, and reinstalled linux-rl9 libs only. That seems to have solved most of the issues.
