Hi,
I used to play Northgard in Linux for over a year now, but not the native version of the game, because OpenGL lacks in Performance.
Since some Updates neither on my System or on Northgard I have some Kind of wierd Grafics:
Its allways there, when i use Vulkan (DXVK or Zink) and it affects all elements (menus, game it self).
What I have allready tried:
-changing Proton Version incl. 15 Proton GE versions
-Setup different Parameter (but way not all)
-searched Googl, Reddit, ProtonDB and others
-installed Steam in wine (usung Lutris) and then Northgard (the exact same result)
I hope somebody had this issue and was able to solve it.

GPU Driver:
mesa 22.1.1-2
Proton Logs:
If something is missing, let me know.
In the meantime I´ve tried a non Zen Kernel aswell. The same Result.
I remember, that I´ve messed arround with my gpu driver month ago. I´ve installed the mesa-git drivers and then a normal update didn´t work so I´ve uninstalled them and installed the normal once again.
This might be a problem but: every single other game works completly normal. And I have a ton of games.
You could try going for the amdgpu drivers but if everything else works then I suggest to change the settings in the game.
You could also try vkBasalt, it does some sharpening and you could add some post processing but the idea is that after the post processing the image is rendered properly.
It’s cool that you’ve been enjoying Northgard on Linux, even though you’re using Proton for performance reasons. It’s a bummer when weird graphics issues pop up and affect the game experience.While I can’t offer a direct solution, sometimes it helps to check out various gaming communities and forums like the one you’re posting in. Additionally, for those interested in diving deeper into Northgard, there’s a Top 10 Best Clans list that can provide insights into clan choices. You can find it at qtoptens.com, and maybe it’ll make your next Viking adventure even more exciting once you’ve got those graphical quirks sorted out!
