The sudden shutdown seems to be due to PSU not having a margin for GPU's power spikes. KSA seems to be the only thing on my system straining it this hard. Well, while I wait a new PSU, and since the same memory error also happens on eGPU, I tried fixing it back on iGPU with installing Vulkan SDK...

Answering my own question, and in case anyone finds it useful: TH3P4G3 Thunderbolt 4 dock and a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16Gb GPU work out of the box, hot-plugged (Debian sid, Hyprland). Any app started with `DRI_PRIME=1` renders on external GPU willy-nilly, confirmed by `gputop`.

More attempts to launch KSA on Intel iGPU convinced me that the "protected memory" crash is not due to memory. I never even attempted to start with full solar system before, but recently I did. KSA easily took up to 6G VRAM, all while other apps amounted to another 1.5G. So shared memory works...

Yeah, env vars affecting windows apps in wine is a huge gotcha. Got bitten by SDL_VIDEODRIVER in another game (was among other wayland-related vars in my usual environment).

No change.

Success! (sort of). With potato config by @The Real Snake and in Labwc with no other GPU-using apps running KSA starts successfully! 10 FPS, no planets or stars visible, just the HUD and vessels with all the plume effects. 4GB seems to be the magic number on this iGPU.

Any info on i915 I can find suggests that there is no practical limit on VRAM, GPU should take what it needs up to 87% of RAM. But judging form gputop output, KSA crashes when taking around 4GB, with another ~1GB taken by other apps.

Got the same result on Intel iGPU, so it seems to be a showstopper for now.

Has anyone managed to run it on an Intel Meteor Lake iGPU?

Hi everyone! For a long, long time I didn't bother with GPUs at all. Whatever integrated graphics my laptops had were enough, as I never chased graphics-heavy games and classics run fine. But now I seem to have a reason to start thinking about a GPU, and my laptop happens to have a thunderbolt 4...

Turns out this happens when window is larger than installer expects. Just reduce window size until installer starts drawing properly on its own.
