Let’s check that the initial dxvk setup works as expected.

1. Clean up the WINE prefix: 2. Start the game from a console: 3. Quit it as soon as you reach the menu, then post the full console output you got here. Use a Web pasting service if it’s too much to fit in a forum post.

If I understand this correctly wine is using the integrated Intel Graphics card instead of my r9 270x?

Yes, I think you’re right here.

Sadly I’ve never used Intel+AMD hybrid systems, so I don’t know how you could force the use of the AMD GPU.
Maybe using DRI_PRIME, cf. ArchWiki article?

As much as I can see online this seems to be a common problem also with Nvidia + Intel Integrated Graphic Cards.

I have access to a Debian Sid using a Intel+nVIDIA hybrid system, but I’m not sure Mesa driver nouveau has Vulkan support yet. Anyway, I should be able to use it to see if I can force WINE to run on the dedicated GPU.

Posting this here for anyone having issues installing. Not necessarily a reply to this post.

If you install Frostpunk via the GoG option in Lutris you might find that you don't have access to the season pass.

Providing you've purchased the season pass you could try to do the following. Also if you're having problems installing this with the season pass (install failed message) try installing gog galaxy using Lutris, then install Frostpunk via gog galaxy you will still get the error.

Close gog galaxy and add the games .exe file in Luris by going to add game > install a Windows game from media. Then go to /home/"user"/Games/gog-galaxy/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy/Games/Frostpunk/Frostpunk.exe

It will probably throw a wobbly and launch the game, close it once you get to the menu and let Lutris finish installing. Once done you "should" be able to launch Frostpunk via Lutris. This worked for me and I could play the season pass.
