Thread 713384752

What have you been playing on your Linux machine this weekend?

Nothing.

I've been watching youtube videos on my android phone

>>713384752 (OP)
team fortess 2

Horizon forbidden west

tux bowling

>>713384752 (OP)
RDR1

Finally diving into UFO50. Hooked on house party but damn im stupid

Sadly only some emulation since I haven't been able to get Steam to properly launch on my Pi 5 in a while.

Risk of rain 2

A few games. I'm about 2/5 of the way through The Room Three. These games are really short, and not very challenging as far as puzzles go, but they look cool and they're cheap (or at least the ones I already bought were cheap when they were on sale; I think there's a 4th one now).

i wish i wasnt retarded and was willing to learn how to use linux for gaming, but im lazy and will continue to use winblows.

pz.

Also nearly done replaying Alan Wake.
No, I haven't played Alan Wake 2, and I probably won't play it soon. I haven't played Control yet either, and I'd probably have to play that first so as not to feel like I'm missing something. I suppose I should want to play Control next anyway, because it's a better game from what I've heard.
In the meantime, there's no rush to get to it, because I don't actually feel that Alan Wake needed a sequel. The "it's not a lake, it's an ocean" ending was perfectly fine. So was the pre-Episodes ending of Half-Life 2.

I went back to Arch after a few months on Debian stable
I love KDE 6.4 so much bros, HDR is truly here
Castlevania IV via retroarch bsnes core
I bought a bunch of indie games on sale
Pick which game I should play next
Blasphemous
Super Meat Boy
Postal Brain Damaged
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Mark of the Ninja

Also played some Cash Cow DX.
This and Donut Dodo (same developer) are pretty good if you like arcade-style games. I haven't played Looney Landers yet. I don't know why Cash Cow DX is the only one of this developer's games that has a Linux port.

Mainly these, and testing Bloodborne and the new MK64 port a little.
The new Diegolix29 build has reduced the Vertex explosions to a playable level. They're not there most of the time but when it appears you can reload or TP and it's gone.

>>713387641
If you have AMD graphics it's honestly super easy (with Bazzite especially).

>>713384752 (OP)
Atomic Heart, OW2 and rarely Muse Dash
>>713387641
Considering how modern windows require terminal command or Rufus fuckery for offline account, you would be fine on Linux.

i really really really really wish valve or amd ported radv to windows. why must amdvlk be the only option?

>>713389765
What is radv? Nvidiot here.

>>713384752 (OP)
Dead by Daylight
I need to get back to finishing Stellar Blade, E33, and Kherzan, but I just play DBD instead

>>713384752 (OP)
clair obscur, just got a new GPU so i can play it on high settings.

>>713390168
on linux there are different userspace drivers for amd.
amdvlk is the official vulkan driver by amd themselves intended for general use.
amdgpupro is also by amd and intended for professional apps.
radv is a driver by valve intended for steam deck but it also works desktop/laptop amd gpus.
the radv driver is a lot better than the amdvlk or amdgpupro, like 30-50% fps wise better in some titles. also fixes various bugs for games that game developers wont fix but valve/open source community will.

on windows there is no such thing as radv. the vulkan driver on windows for amd is a port of amdvlk.

>>713384752 (OP)
I uninstalled and went back to Windows. Trying to fix every little thing got boring fast.

>>713391748
No one asked but I'm glad you've figured out which OS satisfies your use case.

>>713384752 (OP)
Zone of the enders 2
Works without a hitch on proton-GE and only set me back 5 bucks

>>713391942
you sound defensive.

>>713392210
You do, actually, having gone out of your way to come into a Linux thread just to point out that you don't use Linux. No one asked for a justification of your decision to use Windows but you announced it anyway. And I'm not defending anything. Windows is easier for gaming, so use it and go away.

>>713391748
genuine question, do you normally go into threads of topics you don't like or have no stake in just to complain about them?

Diablo 4 and Overwatch

>Download game to use with proton
>Cloud don't import save data
>Need manually import my windows save data then save on cloud

Shit is never truly hassle free.

Hollow Knight. Doesn't even need wine.

I stopped playing Clair Obscur because I got stuck at a boss. I haven't felt like trying again.

>>713384752 (OP)
FF5.
Defeated the x-burger with two berserk retards and blue magic.

>>713393285
What game?

>>713393625
Digimon cybersluts

>>713384752 (OP)
Ship of Harkinian & Helldivers 2

>>713393285
I've played some games that have a Linux port but no Steam Cloud configuration for Linux, and even some Linux ports that do have a cloud config but it points to the wrong folder because the developer is stupid (and these can usually be fixed with a symbolic link), but I don't think I've ever had a Steam Cloud issue with a Windows game.

>>713394265
Yeah most linux ports are just wrong path, but steam don't sync stuff like screenshots.

Only reason that I still have windows partition is because VNs are annoying as fuck to run under linux, specially older ones.

>>713387327
I heard the expansion sucked

>>713393348
Based. Runs like a dream out of the box too. One of the few games I’ve never had to tweak anything for at all. Honestly wish more devs would follow Team Cherry’s example with their engine choices.

>>713384752 (OP)
Nothing because my games keep getting a black screen whenever I try to play them and I don't feel like fixing my OS is fun, I just want to play games. Luckily I can dual boot, so I'll probably just get some space back and delete linux finally. what a meme.

World of Warcraft, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Crusader Kings 3, and Tropico 4

OSRS, SF6, CS2, FFX and Laika: Aged Through Blood.

Try using Bottles, found that best for VNs and RPGM.

AW2 is a fun game certain elements of it get stale on replays, but the first experience is special if you let yourself get invested and sucked in. Then the game has the giant pro of shifting on DEI in the ending segments, literally mocking people who talk about "muh black female protagonists are so strong and necessary!!!" I haven't played the DLCs, so I can't speak on them, but I pirated AW2 completed it twice. Can't be sunk cost for me. It's a solid game. Not a 9/10, but definitely a 7.5 at minimum. Very, very few games balance action, horror, worldbuilding, and story as well as AW2 does. I hope you give it an honest shot sometime in the future. No rush though.

>>713384752 (OP)
I've been playing modded Minecraft with the homies and I just started No Rest For the Wicked. Haven't played MC in many, many, many years, so it's been a treat. I really love building in games. In this group of friends I'm always the one building, but this time around I didn't make a base for us. I just built my own little treehouse and the rest of my immediate group are living like bums.

>>713402372
Idk if I'm retarded, but I have literally never gotten bottles to work with fucking anything. Every time I've decided to give it a shot again, it never works. Also takes up a massive amount of storage space.

I was grinding Monster Hunter Rise for talismans, but my performance suddenly went to shit mid hunt and I can't figure out why.
CPU usage looks a bit higher for some reason. I updated to Plasma 6.4 two days ago but it was fine until it happened this afternoon.

The trilogy of metal slug

>>713389765
There is almost no difference for old uarch and in fact RDNA4 performs better on amdvlk than radv.
The issues you're having on Windows are due to poor I/O on Windows and a bad scheduler. Assuming you're using vkd3d and dxvk on Windows and not native DX12.

>>713391748
Use the tool you need. I use loonix but loonix evangelists are insanely annoying.

Doom 2016, trying to finish nightmare playthrough. Also Battlefront 2 and Armored Core 6.
I really miss GTA online still, I'm thinking of setting up an SSD with windows on it just to play GTA.

>>713384752 (OP)
Playing Yakuza 5 on the 'eck. It's comfy and I am invested in the story but I heard that it's the longest Yakuza game in the series and it sure seems to be.

One might wonder how can these people have so many issues on Linux when your system works fine and games just work.
But then consider that these are the same people who have constant issues on Windows. When I used Windows I virtually never had the problems people were talking about and anything that rarely popped up was easy to troubleshoot. I switched to Linux because it suits me better not because I hate Windows. I don't and I still use it at work. It's the same people, often complete idiots and former consolefags, that think PC gaming involves hours of tweaking and setup.
As always, the problem is not Windows, it's not Linux but the person in front of the computer.
There are legitimate concerns with Linux like a lack of proper sandboxing and properly configured MAC by default on most distros (Fedora being a rare counterexample), some software not being available or not having feature parity with Windows and macOS version and the difficulty associated with unstable (as in constantly changing, not unreliable) APIs making one-and-done software releases like video games a pain since the OS model expects all software to be maintained indefinitely.

They still didn't fixed this shit, at least retroarch works without issues.
