Issues fixed

Game won't run on open source driver for AMD GPU (Linux)

Override Mesa GLSL version[1]
  1. In Set Launch Options... on Steam add this code at the beginning:
MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 %command%

Issues running in Wayland (AMD GPU tested) (Linux)[2]

Error on launch: kexPlatformApp::InitVideo: Failed to create window (Couldn't find matching GLX visual)

This error occurs, only with OpenGL, when SDL2 wayland command is not used and/or attempting to run in fullscreen.

For OpenGL, start game with SDL2 wayland enabled:

  1. In Set Launch Options... on Steam add this code at the beginning:
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command%

Note: Tested on Mesa 21.3.3 with AMD Radeon RX 6800M (RDNA2). Additionally, only works in Windowed mode (borderless option has no effect) and Mesa GLSL override was unnecessary.

If fullscreen is enabled and you cannot start the game (encounter error message), open the kexengine.cfg and adjust as seen below:

seta v_windowed "1"
Recommended to use Vulkan:
  1. Edit kexengine.cfg file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/Nightdive Studios/Forsaken EX/ and adjust as seen below: :
seta r_rhirenderfamily "vulkan"

Benefit: No launch errors, no need for any command overrides and both fullscreen & windowed modes work properly.
