Enabling vkBasalt with Steam Proton 5.13: 1. From a Linux terminal: # Note: The paths to libvkbasalt.so on your machine # might be different from what is written here cd $HOME/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32 ln -s /usr/lib/libvkbasalt.so cd $HOME/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_64 ln -s /usr/lib64/libvkbasalt.so mv steam_vkBasalt_i386.json $HOME/.local/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d mv steam_vkBasalt_x86_64.json $HOME/.local/share/vulkan/implicit_layer.d 2. From within Steam client: Set game's launch options to: ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 %command% 3. Lauch the game and verify that vkBasalt is actually working by toggling it on/off with the Home key. If it isn't working then try to replace the relative paths to libvkbasalt.so in the two JSON files with absolute paths.
