**Problem description**
I can't launch most 3d games in my library, They may or may not pop up any error message.

The witcher 2 shows "Direct3D 9 device initialization error", Oblivion just shows a black box and then exit.

I am using a laptop with an NVIDIA dedicate GPU.

I can "fix" the issue by running a native 3D app on NVIDIA GPU, such as vkcube or use prime-run to run glxgears

**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**
No
