Thread 725526461

You can run all your games with Wine or Proton. It's time to install Linux and become free.

>>725526461 (OP)
This is false. When I tried modding bannerlord linux would shit the bed so I switched back to windows

The only issues I really have with Linux is that the native version of L4D2 fucking sucks

linux user here
no you cant

>>725526461 (OP)
i am on fedora right now i have been thinking about trying arch but i have been lazy and avoiding learning the commands for the package manager but yes generally things just work now at least anything i have cared about playing

>>725526461 (OP)
already on bazzite. works like a charm

>>725527034
i did that exact switch a few years back, rolling release is much more comfortable with not having to upgrade every 6 months

Let me guess: Warzone, Fartnite, Diddyblud simulator etc...

I use Chadbuntu

Which distro should I use for my mini pc I want it to run as a qbittorrent/komga/LANraragi/Sonarr/Calibre server running 24/7?

>>725527327
debian, ubuntu or rhel.
get a lightweight DE like xfce if it has <4gb ram

>>725527437
How about Linux Mint? I'm afraid I'm a brainlet and I can barely navigate anything more complex than SteamOS.

>>725527534
cinnamon is terrible for small screens, it's also not lightweight.
if you have the extra ram go for bazzite with GNOME as it's built for small screens.
if it has shit ram go for fedora with xfce.

>>725527814
I thought bazzite cuck out some system components from being tampered with which could hinder server-like programs?

>>725527864
you're kind of contradicting yourself mate, if you're a brainlet you're not going to be setting up a server of any kind.

I just want a personal local server to serve me up porn at night when I turn off my main computer. I already got one running on a mini PC that came preinstalled with wangblow 11, but I'm starting to get pissed at it for always restarting out of the blue every month so I'm looking at linux alternatives.

>>725527941
it does though.

>>725528127
bazzite is just fedora with a few things preinstalled, if the immutable part scares you, you can just get that.
but as i said if you want a stable system, something you won't touch for the next 10 years, debian, ubuntu and rhel are the best options.

>>725528245
Okay, I guess I'll dabble with bazzite since I have a steam deck for a year and I've gotten comfortable with the steamOS flow.

>>725527327
If you've never ran a home server try yunohost

>>725528152
So I see you're running GNOME... You know I'm actually on KDE myself. I know this desktop environment is supposed to be better but you know what they say, old habits die hard.

>>725528152
Okay then. I will install Mint tonight.

well you're the one that went out of your way to do something not supported by your default system.
it's like people running debloaters on windows then complaining to microsoft when their pc won't boot anymore.

except i play obscure games like rdr2, ff7r, and shadow of the tomb raider

>>725533656

>>725533859
the first rule about wine is you always use a wrapper like lutris if you're not going through steam and proton.

You should use lutris and proton, 2 minute timer made me late so I'm just going to post it anyways fuck this bullshit

>>725534049
>>725534123
Ahh, very cool, thanks bros.

>>725534387
the reason you do that is because wine is pretty bare bones by default and doesn't include very necessary software like dxvk to run games on linux.

>>725534049
>>725534123
Why are they are not part of wine again? Why wine isn't part of linux on kernel level? Foss fags just can't help to compartmentalize fucking everything for some ungodly reason.

>>725534494
>Why wine isn't part of linux on kernel level?
It doesn't need to be and nobody wants it to be, not everyone want to use Windows programs, if I didn't play games I would use no Windows programs on my computer.
>Why are they are not part of wine again?
I think wine people actually got pissed that the proton guy did things better than them, but that's just gossip, I know nothing about it

>>725534697
proton and wine are just two different projects, proton exists on top of wine, has proprietary codecs, has different developers and maintains their own fork of wine.
you can't just mash up two different projects >>725534494

Yeah but I read that the DXVK guy talked to the wine people about his ideas and they talked shit to him and told him it wasn't possible. It was an interesting story but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Separation of concerns. Unix ideology.

>>725536286
>did you make sure gamescope was actually not working?
yea its working on the launcher, gamescope wraps only the launcher
tried with
>gamescope -f -h 1440 -w 5120 -- %command%
and the launcher launches in fullscreen

>what the fuck is that at 5 seconds?
context menu was longer than the capture area so obs just zoomed out automatically

>>725536561
idk, you can try using wayland:
PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1

>>725536561
And did you click on play from the launcher?

>>725536739
i dont think that will matter though? i'll try anyways
>>725536794
yea it just launches the game normally

wayland changes the entire rendering stack, it might be able to hook into the child more easily, or run your game without even going through gamescope.

after looking more into it i think the game actually already is rendering at my res (5120x1440) but it just put black bars on the sides
tried with gamescope -b and it looks like it is hooking correctly into the child process (game launches in a borderless window)

https://github.com/invcble/NoMoreBorder
this worked on windows for some reason though

Installed Nixos last month. Still haven't found out a way to have my pirated copy of MGSV run, but apart from that,it's been able to run everything I've thrown at it.
A few games run a bit worse, but I'm suprised to see that others run even better than they used to on win10.
It's certainly isn't mass market friendly (and will it ever be?) but the progress in just a few years have been astounding.

>>725537431
your mom still sucks too

>>725537539
so i did call it.
run the application in windowed and fullscreen it through gamescope (super + f), that's what fullscreen hacks do, the good kind anyways. the bad kind stretch the visuals.

>>725537691
welp nothing i tried works
at least i can actually get 21:9 mode to work now with gamescope -w 3440 -h 1440 (game natively supports 21:9)
if i run the game normally that resolution doesn't even show up and i can only select 2560x1440

One of the classic linjeet copes.

Using Linux for a few years thoroughly disillusioned me from the idea of a community driven, open source operating system. If that's "freedom", then there isn't a better argument for authoritarianism. We need a proprietary OS written by paid professional white and east asian men. Windows used to be that but now it's jeeted. Jeets can't write software in house, they can only take open source code by pathologically altruistic whites. Something got worse in new version of Windows? Chances is it's open slop. Everyone bitching about Win 11 UI is bitching about React (FOSS) specifically.

>>725538529
that's not a Linux issue retatd, even on Windows 32:9 support is dogshit

most of the newer games actually support 32:9, and the ones that don't usually has hacks or mods
it's just a few multiplayer games with anticheat that doesnt play nice with 32:9
it's a really immersive aspect ratio for vidya games. this is actually my second 32:9 monitor (upgraded to g9 oled from a crg9)

the two huge real issues are that even in games that support it a lot of the time has HUD so far away from the center of the screen to the sides and you have to physically turn ur head to see them. especially problematic for stuff like health bars
and another issue is that it's almost as taxing on ur hardware as a 4k screen

>>725538779

>>725538920

>>725538903
>the two huge real issues are that even in games that support it a lot of the time has HUD
you're confusing "it works" with "it's supported", your issue is a clear example of the former.

>>725538652
I'm exaggerating of course. There is good open source software, as individual programs. But an entire operating system being developed open source will always be a mess after a certain point. Linux is far beyond that point and it's not even in the double digits in percent used. BSDs are nowhere near a clusterfuck in design; they are actual cohesive operating systems. But nobody uses them, not even most of their developers.

actually, come to think of it the only game i have installed right now that has issues with 32:9 seems to be mecha break

Ever notice how Windows user nor even Mac users have to start threads convincing people to stay on their respective OSs, yet Linux users desperately have to start multiple threads that devolve into arguing with each other about what to use every single time? Yeah thats why your free software is used by less people than even win 7 at this point

>>725539551
>less than windows 7
that's wrong, linux is bigger than both mac and windows 7 these days.

>>725526461 (OP)
the games i like didn't work properly on linux. graphical issues, audio issues, mouse movement feeling weird.

i tried it a few years ago and it might've changed since then but even getting it to run above 60 fps was annoying and didn't work properly. i think wayland is supposed to be better than x for that now.

a lot of the software i use on windows was developed on linux. it's just not as good for gaming.

i've been feeling extra annoyed lately with not having access to the source code for various things though. idk how much that would change if everyone was on linux.

>>725539404
it's better this way
it would be bad if they moved the UI elements to the edges of the screen as i said

>i think wayland is supposed to be better than x for that now.
wayland isn't particularly better for framerates. what it's better for is better window management, multi monitor support, security, and new features like HDR.

>>725539801
it's not just the ui. the levels are designed around 16:9. the camera angles during cutcenes are designed around 16:9. you're going to be seeing plenty of things you're just not supposed to be seeing.

>>725539836
>what it's better for is better window management
Nope.
>security
You're a chomo hiding your cp with glycin and pipewire portals.

>>725539836
>wayland isn't particularly better for framerates.
i don't mean getting games to run with better performance, but that x seemed to cap everything at 60hz even if it was manually changed to be 144hz. so even if your game was running at 144 fps too it was still essentially on a 60hz monitor. i'm sure that's an old issue by this point and wayland works more properly but i haven't used it much since then to really tell. a lot of the games i liked were kind of old and less popular and even when they had linux ports they still felt a bit janky.

if i had to use linux for gaming i'd be able to but right now i see no benefit in switching for it and only some downsides.

>>725526461 (OP)

I'll stay in Linux, might change to Pop at some point to give it a try but overall is great.

>>725540102
>but that x seemed to cap everything at 60hz
that's a multi monitor issue, x11 caps your refresh rate to your lowest monitor. of course wayland fixes this.

>>725539907
>you're going to be seeing plenty of things you're just not supposed to be seeing
true sometimes, but doesn't matter at all
in elden ring you can see the game is loading on the sides of your screen because the loading screen only covers 16:9 area
does it bother me? no
does it break anything at all? also no
see included webm

>>725540258
i only had one monitor

>>725540332
>but then again i dont play modern AAA slop
i don't either. my favorite older games all had audio/graphical issues that were severe enough to be a constant annoyance and the amount of time spent tweaking to try and fix it with minimal to no resutls was just becoming too much.

emulation seemed to work really well on linux though. i think i had better performance with pcsx2 on it at the time compared to windows.

yeah, i tried pretty much everything and the games still had issues. linux ports of games i liked had issues. i did end up using linux to host some game servers but even then i still had to use the windows version with wine for some because the linux version didn't work properly either.

>>725540943

Distant Words 1 didn't work for me a few years ago, maybe it works now idk. It neither works on modern windows, because that game is ridiculously poorly coded, mind you.

>>725541182
>linux ports
it's generally recommended to avoid linux ports, run games through proton, proton-ge or wine-staging.
if you switch to linux it's always nice to have a second hard drive with windows to fall back on.

There isn't a single person in the current year who likes Windows, yet only a select few will actually switch to another OS. This kind of laziness and complacency is why the world is shit.

>>725541268
one game was american mcgee's alice which you can get from archive.org if you want to try. i was playing the original version at the time, the wine site says the later remaster worked better but i didn't like that version for a few reasons. it just had graphical issues in the dialogue boxes and the audio was constantly crackling even if the game worked fine otherwise. i tried altering audio settings and doing everything i could find about how to fix it but it never worked.

severance blade of darkness wasn't playing audio properly due to a missing codec i think, i tried a couple times to get it working but just gave up eventually because it didn't seem worth it. i'm sure that one could've been fixed more easily.

i've been wanting to see how linux has changed since then and will probably give it another try soon to see how things are now. but there were just too many issues at the time.

>>725541287
yeah i had tried some games with proton too and that worked better but it didn't work for the more niche ones

It's best that anyone interested in playing non-Steam games made before 2010ish stay on Windows. Linux gaming is only really good for modern Steam releases.

>>725542591
it's literally the opposite, dx12 to vulkan translation is not the best right now. and people use dxvk even on windows to fix issues for older games

>>725542685
I fell for the Linux gaming meme, tried playing a lot of my older non-Steam games, and found that issues were frequent. I figured hey, it's Linux, there must be some way to configure this to make it work, that's what everyone always says. Eventually you find out that no, it's just some problem that people have been waiting to be fixed for ages, like >>725542431 and there's nothing that can be done.

>>725542591
>no multiplayer games with anticheat
>no really old games
So what I'm piecing together is that Linux gaming is just singleplayer only busy dad games.

>>725542795

>Dark and Darker

>>725543162
>gold rating on protondb
Protondb is a meme. Found that out with Rome: Total War where everyone said it worked perfectly out of the box and it has a Platinum rating indicating that there are zero issues, despite fmvs still being broken according to Valve's own project page for Proton.

Been using Nobara for years no issues, except the wired ethernet drivers on my new motherboard weren't in the kernel so I had to use wifi for a week.

Even the bluetooth on my mobo works, but not on my wife's PC using windows 10, same mobo. I have far fewer issues than with windows and anything I do have is usually nvidia being shit. Can't remember the last time a game I wanted to play didn't work perfectly.

>>725543271
>nvidia being shit
Nvidia GPUs still mog AMD's. Linux gaming is just so janky that it makes it seem like AMD has value, until you actually do benchmark comparisons anyway.

>>725542907
If you think about it, troonix devs put more work into their shitty windows emulator than their native troonix ecosystem. So if you take that into consideration and the state of the troonix static binary linking package management where everything rots, you get the bigger picture and understand why they cope with the troonix gaming meme in the first place. It's sad, but the troonix cope is emulating windows because windows binaries are more stable than the troonix native ones where everything rots after a couple of months of no updates due to library maintaining trannies breaking ABIs. It's all shit.

>>725527034

No, I uninstalled Linux and went back to Windows. Valve is already aware of the issue since it's an open issue on their github page for going on a decade now, protondb makes no difference in actually getting it fixed.

>>725543968
People like Terry because he was funny. The word does accurately describe Shitdows too, and the retarded "me click twice or it too hard" mentality the users have.

>>725544310
Well his problem was that the retarded poopos troonix package maintainers forgot to put a steam dependency on their own repos which for some reason weren't compatible with the shitbuntu repos. It's incompetence at the operating system maintainer level, it's pathetic.

>>725543968
let's see you play games on templeos. terry used ubuntu for a reason and never touched windblows.

>>725544558
Reminds me of when another tech YouTuber was convinced to try Linux and got recommended Bazzite because it's supposed to be easy and impossible to fuck up, only to run into issues that Linux users blamed on his own incompetence.

>t. troon who has never used btrfs
ublue people are all tranny freaks who hate linux and want to turn it into a container.

>>725544976
btrfs was an experimental filesystem that is no longer a part of kernel, so choosing a memedistro that ships it was a user errorb

>>725545149
It's troonix's fault because the BTRFS TROONIX FILE SYSTEM sucks dick. Not apts fault that the poopos repos weren't compatible with the base shitbuntu repos. Okay fucking retard?
>>725545308
So you're saying that btrfs was/is an officailly supported TROONIX FILE SYSTEM? Surely not troonix's fault.

>>725544391
You don't know what the word means in the sense that Terry used it because you are a secondary who only know him through meme images. "Niggerlicious" literally meant "needlessly complicated". Windows is arguably needlessly complicated in implementation, but not in how you use it.
>>725544680
Terry used Ubuntu as a glorified bootloader for his TempleOS VM, which Linux is sufficient and probably better for. Ubuntu is the distro for ex Windows users that every dedicated linuxfag hates.

"No!"
Whether your games will run acceptably or at all is entirely based on the hardware you use. Anything that does not support Vulkan (pre-2015) will filter a large amount of your library, and even "native" titles will run with Direct3D and thus run like dogshit.
You may also run into driver issues with nvidia cards, even if they support Vulkan, it may be that the drivers are no longer supported by your distro, and you may be forced to use nouveau instead, which is one step below integrated graphics

Someone intelligent like me will not even try to play games on the personalized computing platform and simply own a PS4 -- greatness awaits

I couldn't find any documentation about it before installing windows and finding through a windows forum that specifically Intel XE GPUs didn't play nice with nightreign.
Everything else was a bunch of gay redditors going "OH YEAH INTEL XE USES THE MESA DRIVER SO YOU KNOW ITS GOOD, YOU WONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYTHING AT ALL" I'll admit my method was retarded, but I was doing what I could and thought maybe one of the "Gamer" distros would have a special configuration that ammends it. Also I wasn't sure if it was a specific issue with the Onexplayer (I have the original which is named "the Onexplayer" which is frustrating when they now have a Onexplayer x1 Onexplayer g1 Onexplayer 1s Onexplayer 2, and none of them have the same hardware as the original onexplayer, and they're more popular so they come up instead when you try to search Onexplayer Linux Nightreign and you're flooded with unrelated search results

Also linux often manages to beat the native performance of windows games, which is the real fucking embarrassment. Imagine being a trillion dollar company and getting beaten by a bunch of fat neckbeards programming shit in their off time because your os is such a shitshow of pajeet engineering

Yes gaming works pretty good but the stuff I wanna do thats not gaming fucking sucks ass
I don't wanna use reaper or ardour. I'm about to go back to windows just so I can use ableton live again

>>725550319
Yeah, the devs should babysit the games and constantly fix them net being able to boot because some tranny broke an ABI. You're a dumb fucking nigger.

>>725550325
FLstudio works fine with wine

>>725550031
most VNs should work fine

Yes. Not everyone is a cucked bitch like you that enjoys people shitting into his throat.

>>725550540
>most VNs should work fine
don't lie, Japanese VNs are one of the weakest areas of Linux gaming, so much so that a /g/ user went over to 2ch to ask why Japanese devs don't support Linux

>>725550563
It's not the game dev's job to slave away because troonix jeets can't into statically linked binaries. Off yourself, you fucking retard.

>>725550649

And os should be invisible and standartized across the board for end user experience and stability, but that is not how linux operates either.

You can't run League of Legends and Valorant on Linux btw

Why does this thread exist? Windows sucks yes, but Linux straight up doesn't run every game.

>b-b-but the games is can't run le suck!!!

That's not the point. If someone wants to play Fortnite on their pc they're going to do it on Windows. End of discussion.

>>725551130
Yeah but there's a thousand other games that don't work on Linux either. 99% of people are going to choose the OS that is easiest for them to use. And for most that's Windows.

>>725551280
You shouldn't want to play games that don't run on Linux

>>725551212
You need to generate japanese locale once, and then you set it with environment variable. In lutris there's a dropdown menu option for that, in steam you'd have to add some text to game launch options.

>>725528070
that looks like absolute cancer, fucking hang yourself or jump off a bridge for being such a faggot

Sorry bro, troonix has no native games because the troonix devs can't into static binaries. Guess you're gonna have to emulate windows binaries with the shitty not an nt emulator.

Different anon, but I managed to install the game using system wine instead of proton-ge due to failing to install with that one.
Just had to set the locale to Japanese but because I'm a filthy slav, I can't read moonrunes.

>>725552835
i also use heroic but only for gog and ebin store

How come? What do you prefer about lutris?

>>725554421
im prettu sure heroic only support running games from stores not from a .exe

>>725554595
I have loads of pirated games installed via heroic. When you're adding a game it even has a button to run an installer in the prefix it's going to create for the game (can be any exe obviously, but it's a convenient way to install the game).

>>725554748
yea i just realized u can actually add exe to heroic lol
can u run an installed on it like on lutris btw?

>>725554859
If you mean an installer, yes.

>>725554748
Heroic is nice IF you use other stores, I only use steam and everything else is DRM free so lutris suits my needs, I will however grant that the barrier for entry on Lutris is like learning fucking Chinese and one inappropriately ticked box means your "STREAMLINED" process doesn't fucking work. I'm simply in too deep to abandon it

>>725526461 (OP)
Yes I can.. because I don't play games bundled with spyware. Btw I just managed to get Divine Divinity running with a legible font "mod", the game is Baldurs Gate meets Diablo, very cool.

>>725537235
Here, I'll spoonfeed you this once. Runs Adobe, MSOffice etc. GPU passthrough support to be added in the future so should run Windows exclusive MP games at that point as well.

>>725555419
>GPU passthrough yet to be added
So what exactly is the function of this shit right now, preGPU passthrough? Old flash games???

>>725555481
Based on their conversation the point is that it'll run Adobe suite and m$ office

>>725555419
>GPU passthrough support to be added in the future
If someone manages to streamline gpu passthrough my soul is theirs. But there will always be games that don't run, because some devs aggressively fight against VMs

>>725538735

>tfw been gaming on Linux full time since late 2019
Barely had any problems back then, and it has only improved since then. I love the penguin so much bros.

>>725555135
alright ty, i'll try it next time

>>725555586
Having set up GPU passthrough many many many times, I don't see how they can accomplish this for Nvidia users. Every easy to use tool fucks it up and risks breaking your GPU in how it works across the system, and one singular update to any single package in QEMUs MASSIVE FUCKING PACKAGE LIBRARY requires you redo everything. Its such fucking torture that I've given up on it. Thankfully this exists and it's the single program I used VMs for
https://github.com/dqx-translation-project/steamdeck

>>725555481
Windows exclusive software like Adobe and MSOffice. Also doesn't emulate hardware like a normal VM does so should be less resource intensive. I use it for some visual novels as well.

>>725555894
Don't get me wrong I'm glad this exists as an easy thing for specific uses, but YouTube going all "THIS RUNS EVERY WINDOWS PROGRAM, LINUX GAMING IS COMPLETE" makes it initially sound like it supports GPU acceleration and therefore Tarkov and Fortnite now work, but that obviously isn't the case(yet), best of luck developing it

>>725527207
What do you use then?
(I use Arch btw.)

>>725556020
>YouTube going all "THIS RUNS EVERY WINDOWS PROGRAM, LINUX GAMING IS COMPLETE"
They're doing this because they know it's bullshit, and it gives them an excuse to make a follow-up video about how Linux gaming isn't as good as they thought it was.

I hate internet "content creators" so fucking much. Everything these days is a scam and a grift

>>725558303
Nah, this is a temporary thing due to the W11 drama. What's more likely to happen is by 6 months, people will just begrudgingly accept that they're sticking with Windows like after the initial W10 drama and threats to migrate to Linux back then, and Linux will fade out of general discourse.

>>725558515
>90% of windows games now run on the platform
Reminder that their source for this is the top-100 Steam games list from ProtonDB at the time of this article, and they included everything above "Borked" status. The reality is that a much larger portion of Windows games, particularly older, non-Steam games, still have longstanding issues and are generally unpleasant to play on Linux until things like tricky codec dependencies are finally addressed.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1464

>>725526461 (OP)
I don't boot into Windows often, but I tried running Iji and it didn't work. I didn't find any solutions online either. That's the only reason I dualboot because I'm not a computer expert I'm not gonna fix this stuff on my own

Not that it affects me but this anon is ultimatepy right, and ProtonDB users being outright fucking liars isn't helping
>Yeah the games opening cutscene doesn't play and the game crashing everytime you go beat the first level boss blocking you from progressing.....But other than that it's perfectly playable!

They recently accepted AI-assisted coding, Fedora is now on an inevitable course for becoming jeetware-tier.

>>725528070

>>725559158
ProtonDB is useless (USELESS) because it's all self-reporting. They really should have a filter that splits all the reports from 5mins-1hour from the 2+ hour ones. It would cut off a lot of the "WERKS ON MY MACHINE™"ing that happens there.

>>725560748
GE doesn't fix that? All video/cutscene problems I've ever had with proton were fixed with GE doing whatever "illegal" thing it's doing with Windows codecs

>>725560910
>GE doesn't fix that?
Nope. Nothing fixes it. The fmvs are wmv format with some weird old codecs

>>725560862
I'd say maybe verifying your experience with video would help, but deceitful trannies are everywhere so I doubt that's a real solution. I waited 6 months to finally play Guardians of the Galaxy after purchasing it after protondb told me "It works great on nvidia" and by "great" they mean it crashes before every major checkpoint and runs at framerates in the teens even on modern hardware. Its "fixed" now, but the game had a GOLD ranking when all this shit was happening

>>725530334

Nah I have seen the benchmarks. I don’t play a small number of games. I play a huge variety of games, and some of them can lose 50+ FPS on some distros vs Windows. I like Linux a lot as an OS but Windows still wins in gaming, in some games hilariously so.

the only thing you need is dxvk for it to run smoothly, which is like mandatory for 99% of older games, and comes preincluded in every wrapper.

Linux is only free if your time has no value

Are you on X11? I dragged my feet moving to Wayland because it was buggy but holy shit the stutter and screen tearing are so much worse than I remembered.

proton and wine still default to x11 so you're still running an x11 client under the hood.

Anybody here tried to run the fitgirl build of Dragons Dogma 2? I'm getting terrible fps and have the settings turned pretty low. Like i can't tell if the game is being a retard and deciding not to use my whole GPU or if it's a proton issue.

>>725568669
Yeah I think so, I pirated it off of 1337x, it's the total war collection iso by PROPHET. I'm running it with ge-proton.
I will add that it ran like absolute dogshit out of the box, like 1fps. The cutscenes worked fine but it was unplayable. Apparently this is a common issue on windows too, just a modern hardware thing. I used dxwrapper for dx8 and that fixed it, it runs great afterwards. But you have to add d3d8.dll to the list of exceptions in winecfg so it uses the file provided, not the built in one wine has.

>>725569335
I played it on steam on release and I think it ran about the same on windows and on linux.

>>725569394
>Apparently this is a common issue on windows too, just a modern hardware thing
>dx8
Yeah, that'll do it. The old touhou games are the same way on win10/11.

>>725569459
Thing is the version i'm running is a pre-release journalist build, so if they patched anything on the release build i'm unaware of it

>>725569335
Either run it with GE-Proton via Lutris or just use umu-launcher. Some games need game specific fixes that are applied on Steam but not on pirated copies. Umu applies these fixes and GE-Proton on Lutris automatically uses umu as well.

does it have DLDSR yet or an equivalent? how's the HDR support? Haven't booted up my endeavouros dual boot in about a year and a half

>>725569756
>how's the HDR support?
KDE has it, not sure about the rest

>>725569394
why not use dxvk, it has d8vk included?

>>725569756
>how's the HDR support
KDE and Gnome both have it. But it doesn't work with every game.

>>725569909
Proton uses it by default and it still ran like shit so I dunno what's going on with that

>>725569394
>>725569617
Using dxvk is much better than dxwrapper, the dxwrapper fucks with the textures and dxvk has better performance anyway.
>it's the total war collection iso by PROPHET
Sounds like the Steam release. I don't bother with that version since they fucked with the files when porting to Steam and the performance is worse and according some modders the AI got affected too somehow.

>>725537548
>It's certainly isn't mass market friendly

Maybe it really shouldn't be. With huge influx of users incentives to do shit like that will grow too.

>>725569743

>some dude
That some dude is jiatan and Windows 11 uses jiatan's code for unarchiving so that point is moot. Do Windows 11 users even know what version of xz they are running? Could be the compromised version and they would never know because their OS is closed source.

>>725571137
I don't really care about whats happening in windows world, i just don't want sudden gigazillion new users that will increase incentive to attack linux supply chains.

>>725571137
Now that I think about it, is jiatan's (aka ciaman's) xz code THE back door to Windows 11? Can anyone actually confirm what version of xz is installed on Windows 11 computers?

>>725570084
Iirc dxvk doesn't work with dx8, it needs to translate dx8 to dx9 first before it can do anything. That's why even the pcgamingwiki page says to install both d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll files from dxvk. For some reason this process isn't working for me, maybe I'm missing some 32 bit library. Either way, I can just use the same fix as windows users for dxvk and it works.

>>725571503
I care, every Windows 11 computer could be compromised. In fact that's probably the reason jiatan inserted the malicious code.
