Fuck, we lost thread, again! It's all because of summer.
Anyway, what do you think of Fedora removing 32-bit libraries? I believe we need some compatibility layer that will allow to run 32-bit applications in pure 64-bit environment just like wine wow64.

>>528908428
This is actually nice. I was a bit jealous that we were missing some features Windows users had.

I was too busy losing sanity running wireshark to find all the subnets one stupid game accesses and manually adding them to VPN routing, while avoiding the main server address. Knowing jackshit about how routing on Linux works in general didn't help.

i'm sick of my gpu idling at 45c and using 30-40w at idle because i have dual monitors. i've spent the last 2 days trying to modify edid files to make the gpu go to 4w at idle but nothing's worked. fuck it's hot out.

>>528931413
This happens when one of the monitors is high refresh rate. I also have 2 monitors but they are 60 Hz so power consumption is idling at 7-8 W

>Anyway, what do you think of Fedora removing 32-bit libraries?
It doesn't affect me directly because I use Linux Mint, but it's not an ideal direction for things to be headed.
>I believe we need some compatibility layer that will allow to run 32-bit applications in pure 64-bit environment just like wine wow64.
The solution would generally be something like Steam Linux Runtime, right? I don't think Steam Linux Runtime itself provides everything that would be needed to run 32-bit games on a distro that provides no 32-bit packages, though, because Steam itself is still 32-bit and therefore assumes it's running on a distro that does have some amount of 32-bit support.
I skimmed through some /r/linux_gaming threads about this, and a whole lot of the discussion there basically amounts to "but there's wow64 so nothing is lost" with no acknowledgement of native games. Damn normies.
And then of course there are people saying "this change is overdue!!" as if they as Linux gamers actually gain anything from distro maintainers taking packages away. I don't know if it's contrarianism or what. I mean, either you're affected (bad), or you're not affected (neutral). There's no reason to cheer for it unless you're in charge of a Linux distribution and want to lessen your workload.

dude it's that guy from Super Meat Boy lmao

Spring and jump being separate buttons really fucks me up.

>>528960776
>I don't think Steam Linux Runtime itself provides everything that would be needed to run 32-bit games on a distro that provides no 32-bit packages
Yes, it doesn't provide 32 bit video drivers for example

I don't know if it's good, and I don't really have time to play it tonight because I have to go to bed, but it looks like a turn-based shmup — and the Linux version Works On My Machine™ despite the majority of Linux gamers always swearing that native games are invariably broken two years after release (whereas this one hasn't been updated in nearly 5 years according to the depot timestamps found on SteamDB). Must be that Steam Linux Runtime magic.

Let us know if there are GPU timeouts that are still not fixed. I remember rdna3 release was kinda rough in that regard

Too tired to do much with it but I tried pushing the voltage down until something happened.

Hmm, fan control seems a bit buggy. And I can't get any changes to mclk to stick.
I shouldn't be too surprised though since its only been 3 months.

>>529045176
As far as I can tell, Nightdive hasn't done a Linux build of a KEX engine game since the Forsaken and Turok 1+2 remasters in 2018, presumably because Proton came out around that time and they decided porting was unnecessary. They also don't maintain the Linux ports they did release. (See for example the Linux build of their Turok remaster, which didn't get the KEX 4 upgrade that the Windows version did. There's a Steam forum post in which a developer mentions they've "been talking to our usual Linux contacts but they seem busy with other things", so it sounds like there was at least some thought of a new Linux build at some point, but it's probably never going to happen.)
You could kindly let Nightdive know that you would appreciate native Linux support, but you'd be going up against the hordes of normie Linux gamers who literally go around telling developers NOT to bother with porting to Linux because they fell for the "Linux ports just break two years after release" meme.

Does your desktop environment matter for games? If I went from KDE to Sway (not a DE i know), do they have different Wayland implementations that affect gaming in terms of fps/frametime/latency and the like? Or could I shove it all through Gamescope and be fine?

>>529104871
KDE had VRR ages before Gnome, but these days it's sort of whatever.

i get lower latency on Sway than I do on i3wm
haven't tested other DEs because some of them are quite invasive regarding configs

I wonder if I'm doing this right.
DRG has DLAA. Optiscaler shows its options when I turn DLAA on with upscaling disabled.
Going through the FSR versions gives different results. FSR4 darkens things a little but does the best job I think?

Oh no...! The character I haven't had a chance to give a shit about yet is dying!!
I played through this game on Windows years ago -- in the time before Proton, in fact -- but I never finished all of the DLC for some reason. I did play The Knife of Dunwall but not The Brigmore Witches. Maybe I was burnt out on the "you can play however you want but you'll be punished for not sneaking around at a snail's pace" genre.
I was going to jump straight into The Brigmore Witches but I completely forget the story up to that point and (more importantly) I've also forgotten how to play. So I'm starting from the beginning, and maybe I'll get through the base game and The Knife of Dunwall quickly this time because won't have achievement FOMO since I already 100%'d those parts. Oh yeah, I guess that's why I got sick of it.

Yikes. Highly inappropriate. Plus your graphics are ugly.

Your average gamer would never think of climbing those ledges, because they have what appears to be red tape instead of the standard yellow paint, but you see, I am an expert gamer so I figured it out.

>>529110282
What the heck man? Red=bad. What terrible level design.

I can't resist playing non-lethally when it's easy to do so. These guys are all taking a nap in my cell.
I doubt I'll keep this up for the whole game though. Been there, done that.

I also need to practice fighting though.

>>529104871
Yes it does, but performance differences are negligible since they're all doing shit mostly right. They only differ in features like some support tearing, some support HDR.
There's much more difference between X compositors though, some are doing compositing inefficiently, some aren't doing unredirecting for fullscreen applications.

>Half-Life 2 had a seesaw physics puzzle

>>529104871
Yes. In KDE plasma wayland I have 35 fps in metaphor while in x11 with dwm and no compositor i have 85 fps. In cyberpunk 2077 I have the same fps on kde plasma wayland and hyprland but the display fps is halved on hyprland.

And then they cry about Linux/KDE not working. Well, maybe if manufacturers would make standardized things actually work we wouldn't have any problems. And AFAIK Odyssey G5 is not some cheap chinkshit, it's a premium segment monitor.

I just don't believe they can't properly fix the problem. Sleep worked fine on it with HDMI until they broke something.

>>529114009
Anon I don't think every HDMI monitor is broken, it's probably your monitor has broken DDC implementation so the least they could do it to disable broken DDC features for it specifically

They also tell developers to delete their old Linux ports instead of just leaving them be.
It's unfortunate that there are people who think "I don't like this so it should be taken away from everyone" is an acceptable mindset. I assume these are the same people who say old games should be deleted from Steam because system requirements don't say Windows 10/11.

>>529147849
Just in case anyone thinks I made up that part about people (zoomers) begging for old games to be removed.
Works On My Machine you fucking bitch.

>>529147849
I remember years a go I played turok 2 rerelease at launch with dual monitors xfce and it always launched on my secondary monitor

>>529160020
Use case for having a second monitor enabled while gaming...?
The most annoying "game uses wrong device" issue I ever had was the Linux version of Transistor picking the wrong speakers. I launched the game and the sound was too quiet. Turned up the volume knob on my speakers and it was still quiet. Turned off my speakers and I could still hear it. The sound was coming out of the built-in speakers that I didn't even know my monitor had. It was wild.
Fortunately it was just a matter of putting a magic number in a cryptic text file.

>>529160020
You know, even though I was kinda frustrated when Wayland developers refuse to implement primary screen https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/179 they're kinda made a point: it would be good to strip any window management from game developers since they're retards, and they can't do shit right. It would be great if all windows were managed by a compositor, and they only would give some hints like mark themselves as games using content-type protocol.

lol. Do I have some DLC that I forgot about? Must be one of these:

The first two don't have store pages but the ad-infested Fandom wiki says they come with the third, so I don't know why the DLC is managed this way, but apparently I did buy at least one extra-items DLC (or maybe I got all the DLC from some bundle and forgot).

this is new, right?

>>529250837
I dont know if it's able to do that for all ring timeouts but yeah I've also noticed that it just freezes and then resets. Since I use X11 without a compositor or anything like that it's just a freeze and then it continues working. I dont know if wayland compositors are able to recover (unless they have added explicit support for opengl context destroy recovery)

Ring timeout could happen in different GPU crashes, from some it's able to recover, from other it don't

Hey, wtf? I remember we put expedition 33 flag on that ledge. Where the fuck is it?

Hey, I know last year either mesa or the kernel started defaulting GPUs (AMD?) to a high-performance mode instead of dynamic or something. Does anyone have any docs or articles on that?

>>529263741
https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-More-Aggressive-Power
Found it. It was more difficult to find than I thought.
I really wonder if this change is related to the increase of page fault reports on mesa's issue tracker that started around that time.

>>529263741
>>529264537

No, this change was related to bootup default mode sucked and was giving people stutters. They reverted it though, no it's on bootup default again.

You know, they block Linux, force Secure Boot and TPM on Windows which is funny. Secure Boot and TPM wouldn't help you from cheaters since if cheaters are modifying their system they can just add their own key in sb db and sign compromised component with it, literally what we on Linux do if we want to use secure boot. And modern cheater don't have to do that either since they'll just use DMA cards that a mimicking real hardware (most popular is intel wifi cards) without any modification to OS and connect this card to another PC so can manipulate memory of the target PC without any trace. And this shit could be easily fixed by forcing IOMMU to be enabled but they don't do this lol (they might actually even prevent you from playing just for having some virtualization options enabled lmao).

Fuck, modding Oblivion Remastered was a complete pain in the ass, and surprisingly it wasn't Linux fault.
First you need to download dev version on MO2 which wasn't posted on github but on their discord server (and complete their introduction/humiliation ritual fucking shit). Secondly, you need to download OBSE64, UE4SS (don't know what this crap is) and OBSE plugin for loading UE4SS jesus fucking christ. And then you find out that they've updated the game in June and I have pirated release version, so I had to roll back OBSE and UE4SS I've downloaded... And since I'm using Lutris I can't associate nxm handling, so I have to manually download mods and add them through horrifying wine file picker...
Aside from that everything else works extremely well.

I never played Oblivion before. Well, I tried to start some years ago but was put off by horrible graphics.

When you're using Linux, following its news, reporting bugs and getting feedback from core project developers don't you feel being part of something big and important? Like history is being made in front of your eyes?

>>529428563
It feels nice when a bug/feature request you report gets fixed/added.

Jesus fucking Christ how was I supposed to notice?

>>529432631
Yep. Not necessarily Linux, but after a big Terraria update, there was an issue with controllers that was really annoying me. I reported it on the forums, a dev replied saying they would investigate it. A couple of days later, they updated the game and fixed the issue I complained about.

It's not the end of the world, but does anyone know if there's some hack to force the Steam overlay with certain programs?
I'm trying to make it work with the Suyu emulator with no success so far. On Windows, when adding the emulator as a non-Steam game, the overlay works just fine, but for whatever reason that doesn't work on Linux.

>>529434425
I think Steam overlay just doesn't work with third-party apps outside big picture mode

>>529434425
When you add a third party game or a program, you have to specify the target exe of said program and its working folder, and don't forget to add " at the beginning and end of path and overlay should work.

>>529445217
I forgot to add, you also have to set to proton in compatibility tab for said game/program to enable overlay

>>529445217
>>529445736
But the overlay works just fine with GoG games running through Lutris, and I didn't need to do any of that, I just add Lutris as a non-steam game and the overlay just works when I launch game. This issue only happens with this emulator.

I'm using the Linux native version of Suyu, trying to run it with proton/wine doesn't even launch the emulator even after making sure the path is correct and encased in quotes.

I know I'm stupid for not pushing the button to add the DLC earlier, but punishing me for it is pretty stupid. I've seen other games which were de-listed but still had DLC available for those who bought the base game already. Why should this one be any different?
Revolution Software is generally pretty cool for porting all versions of the game to Linux, but what the fuck.
By the way, the 2024 remaster also supposedly lacks content that was in the removed 2009 director's cut — including the pictured scene, if I'm not mistaken — which isn't really my problem, of course, but is still pretty lame.

I hope Pascal bros are fine with current state of Wayland support and broken DX12, because they'll stick with it forever...

Unfortunately even in DX12 you can still suffer from RADV chocking on excessive VRAM usage.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/179
Haha, more people started to use Wine/SDL Wayland backend and shit finally hit the fan. How long will they keep their "Wayland way" on not having primary monitor concept?

>>529516457
xlibre doesn't have this issue

>>529523475
No other platform doesn't have that problem either, it just Wayland trannies decided that everyone before them was wrong.

>>529525396
Yeah, they go overboard with "security" meme to the detriment of functionality. From corporation point of view, it's probably worth it to enforce the DRM content restrictions.

>>529525645
>Yeah, they go overboard with "security" meme to the detriment of functionality.
At this point it's not even about security. They think that primary monitor concept doesn't follow "Wayland principles" because Wayland is a surface based protocol and not output based (whatever that means lol). They're still seething that they allowed selecting output in set_fullscreen operation. When you ask them how is should be solved they tell that compositor must make a smart decision where to put my windows, and when you ask how the hell should compositor make any decision when it has only so much information you get answers like "well, it's up to compositor". Really, what a fucking circus, I think we should put Linus Torvads on steroids and make him maintain Wayland protocols as well so he could put all those trannies in place.

>>529526280
it seems to ba entirely a weston, gnome and gnome ballwasher problem. honestly frog protocols going even further would be the answer. just get buy in from toolkits and major des other than gnome and implement shit, tell gnome either they get on board with more protocols or they become an even more incomplete wayland implementation from the point of view of users.

>>529541585
It has almost always been a mess. Screen capture is absolutely retarded on wayland. On X11 you just ask the X server to give you a reference to a windows buffer and you can map that to opengl. That's around 5 lines of code (not hidden behind any complexity). On wayland you cant just use wayland, you have to write your own dbus code (manually sending buffers over the network) to ask the wayland compositor indirectly through the desktop portal for a pipewire node and then write 1000 lines of pipewire code to handle getting a reference to the window from that. This also requires the wayland compositor/desktop portal to support pipewire.
The desktop portal ends up using an internal private wayland protocol specific to the wayland compositor. Why couldn't applications just use that wayland protocol directly? because wayland is designed by fucking retards working at red hat and red hat is also in charge of pipewire and flatpak, and it's designed to be used for that (because they are incapable of doing sandboxing directly with wayland).

Only now after a decade or whatever they have decided that they want to add a wayland protocol for this so you dont have to do these retarded steps. My guess is that gnome will refuse to implement it as usual, so you have to use the desktop portal garbage anyways.

>>529562102
>Only now after a decade or whatever they have decided that they want to add a wayland protocol for this so you dont have to do these retarded steps.
It's mostly for wlroots based applications. Regular compositors won't implement it since they've already made their utilities

>>529546473
Looks like they fixed the stealth/attacking/sniping in remaster, in the original even if you kill someone from stealth, every mob in the dungeon is altered to it and you lose stealth.

The latest Steam survey results are out.
When the underpaid Microsoft shills point out that Linux went −0.12%, you can ignore them because the previous month's +0.42% was so significant that the −0.12% only brought Linux usage down to the second-highest month on record.

The graph on GamingOnLinux hasn't been updated yet, but it shows that the highest prior to the record-breaking 2.69% in May was only 2.33% in March.

People reporting crashes and poor performance on Steam store page in reviews. Althoug I yet to experience a single crash performance problems caused by memory leaks are real. How could you make an UE5 game and still have memory leaks? That's insane!

Also, controller deadzones in this game are atrocious. I have a controller with practically no deadzones yet game forces somewhat 15% deadzone on each stick with no way to configure them. Did they test it on Xbox 360 controller or on a Nintendo Switch Joycons?

Uh...? I thought he would either thank me for keeping them alive, or maybe be more pissed about their fate being worse than death.
I don't actually know what he says if they're dead, so maybe it does make a difference, but if so then it wasn't obvious.

But now that I think about it, he probably had no way of knowing they were disappeared by thugs, so if they were gone and no bodies were found, it would make sense for him to assume Corvo chopped them up and threw the pieces in the ocean.

I got this game from a bundle ages ago, and never played it because I bought that bundle for a different game and just didn't care about this one. But I remembered it recently and I've got this urge to play it despite being in the middle of too many other games. (Fuck, I'll never finish anything.) It's probably shit but something about it intrigues me. It looks comfy or something. Has anyone played it?
I can't install it now because I'm not at my computer. I'm phone posting but that's okay because Android is Linux :^)

I've been playing TotK for the past few days. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the Steam overlay to work with any Switch emulator. I also changed from Suyu to Citron, the latter seemed marginally better.
There's quite a bit of traversal stutter, but from what I've seen from other people emulating TotK, this seems really common regardless of the emulator, OS or hardware.

My itch for Space Station 13 remains unscratched...
And before any of you suggest SS14 or UnityStation, one is headed by developers that dehub and auth ban servers that violate an extremely arbitrary set of guidelines, and the other is far too unpopular and underdeveloped.

Speaking of Lutris, I'm currently playing I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream on it. Despite being a game from 1995 running through ScummVM, the Steam overlay works fine.
I'm really liking the game's atmosphere and narrative.

And lastly, a few weeks ago I "beat" Valheim solo (I just killed all currently available bosses). Now I'm gonna wait for the 'Deep North' update, which I assume will be the last big update for the game.
This is the Linux native version of the game. Initially, it had some stutters, but after I transferred the game to my NVMe, the stutters went away and it ran perfectly fine, zero issues. Grindy and brutal game, but really enjoyable experience overall. Also: FUCK THE MISTLANDS!

>>530199790
>Also: FUCK THE MISTLANDS!

>>530200618
If it was just the spike in difficulty, the mist and the cancer terrain, I would be perfectly fine with the Mistlands. But what almost drove me crazy was the insanely grindy progression when compared to the other biomes.
Combat-wise, I consider the Ashlands to be a lot harder, but the progression was a billion times less aids in my opinion.
But people usually hate both the Mistlands and Ashlands for different reasons. The main complaint I hear about Ashlands is how enemies are relentless and almost never stop spawning (which is true).
I'm really looking forward to seeing what the main annoying gimmick of the Deep North will be.

>4:3 looks fine
>16:9 looks fine
>16:10 is vertically stretched 16:9
I feel attacked.
But at least they had the decency to use a circle on the HUD so that I immediately know it's wrong.
It's weird that the game would explicitly support at least two different aspect ratios but then still have this stretching behavior. I think 16:9 is really the intended aspect ratio though, because the pre-rendered cutscenes look vertically stretched in 4:3.
None of those are Linux problems, by the way. I checked WSGF and it shows the same things (including nearly the same comparison shots I took here). I don't know if SilentPatch fixes 16:10; I wanted to run the game out-of-the-box with no modification first, and it seems to work. Performance seems a bit fucky, but I don't know what frame rate I'm getting because adding MangoHud seemed to cause it to get stuck on the first loading screen. I'll have to look into that.

How often do new games work well with proton?
I'm really looking forward to the mgs3 remake

That's weird. MangoHud works when I'm running the game in 1920x1200 (but of course I don't want to do that because the stretching seen in >>530371525 annoys me even more than a decreased horizontal FOV would). If I start the game with MangoHud enabled when the game is set to 1920x1080 (or presumably any non-native resolution or aspect ratio), the loading screen before the main menu takes forever (or, at least, longer than my patience; something is clearly wrong in any case). Maybe the Vulkan stuff that draws the MangoHud overlay doesn't like how the game does whatever resolution handling results in the letterboxing I get in 16:9 mode.
As for performance, the game is locked at 30 fps (and apparently unlocking it would cause issues in some parts). I think I'm also seeing some stuttering, and MangoHud actually shows 31 fps half the time, but there's a note on PC Gaming Wiki about SilentPatch fixing frame pacing issues.

>figure I might as well try SilentPatch
>it doesn't say anything about resolution
>double-check PCGW
>ThirteenAG has a widescreen fix
>the instructions for ThirteenAG's widescreen fix are to extract the widescreen fix and then extract SilentPatch (which would result in SilentPatch's dinput8.dll overwriting ThirteenAG's dinput8.dll)
... Uh, what?
Is step 2 here supposed to be optional (and is it only there to tell me the proper installation order if I want to use both)? I don't know why else ThirteenAG's widescreen fix would contain a file that's just going to be overwritten if I follow these steps.
By the way,
>http://thirteenag.github.io/wfp
redirects to
>https://fusionfix.io/wfp
now. Rebranding...?

Installing only SilentPatch to test changing the frame cap (which does work), I got a mod updater window with... a ThirteenAG link? That's somewhat surprising but it makes sense. I've heard of this Ultimate ASI Loader thing before, and I guess I just didn't know it was a ThirteenAG thing despite having used ThirteenAG's widescreen fixes for other games. I'm guessing ThirteenAG's widescreen fix and SilentPatch both use Ultimate ASI Loader under the hood and that's why it's okay for the latter to overwrite the former's dinput8.dll file per those instructions.

Well, anyway, installing ThirteenAG's widescreen patch and then reinstalling SilentPatch on top of that, I do have unstretched 16:10 (at least judging by the circular map on the HUD).
It still runs a bit like shit for a game with these graphics though, even on my shit-ass computer. I can see big stutters when running around (even though the MangoHud frame rate display mostly just shows 30 like it doesn't know what the fuck is happening but maybe it just doesn't update fast enough to catch it). I'm too lazy to put the frame timing graph back in to see how it looks; I really just care about how it feels, which is somewhat shitty.
I did, by the way, ignore all the suggested tweaks on ProtonDB, so maybe they're worth something even though I didn't need any of them just to make the game launch.

>>530371571

>>530382887
>It still runs a bit like shit for a game with these graphics though, even on my shit-ass computer.
I played this maybe a couple years ago and IIRC I also had some framerate issues with regular proton, and switching to proton-ge fixed it for some reason

>>530385506
A lot of ProtonDB reports have PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, and they don't explain why, but I tried it and it seems to help performance unless it's just my imagination. This makes MangoHud not show up anymore (even with --dlsym), not that it really matters.
When I come back to this game to start a real playthrough (probably not until the weekend), I might just drop the patches and run the game with
>PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% --skipMoviesASAP
and nothing else, because the widescreen fix doesn't actually fix the cutscenes according to its GitHub release page. I think playing in 16:10 would therefore make the pre-rendered FMVs stretch vertically by 10%, even with the patch. Even if I can't see the difference, having this knowledge in the back of my mind will just make me want to play in an aspect ratio which requires no fixing (and I think that would be 16:9). The only issue I noticed with running the game in letterboxed 16:9 out-of-the-box was that MangoHud didn't like it (>>530379746), and apparently MangoHud won't work anyway if I fall back to WineD3D in order to avoid whatever is wrong with DXVK performance here.

Minor clarification just so no one calls me a lying fuckface:
>>530381809
>Installing only SilentPatch to test changing the frame cap (which does work*)
*with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b".
I thought I had heard they were adding dinput8 to Proton's default DLL overrides because it's so commonly used by mods, but if that was ever done then maybe it just isn't in Proton 9, because I'm pretty sure SilentPatch didn't do anything until I added the override to the launch options.

>>530386381
>I think playing in 16:10 would therefore make the pre-rendered FMVs stretch vertically by 10%
I don't think there's all that many fmv's in the game, it's usually all in-game cutscenes so you can see how retarded you've dressed up your character

>>530386724
>I thought I had heard they were adding dinput8 to Proton's default DLL overrides
yeah that looks like it's a proton 10 thing, I haven't actually tried it yet though

I also just remembered, raising the frame cap does cause an issue during one of the missions
it's one of the snow levels where you use some kind of ranged attack I think, just switch the framerate back to 30 for that one

>>530381139
dinput8 is just ASI loader that runs shit from scripts folder, it's irrelevant which version you use

>>530258731
>actually calling it Lossless Scaling Frame Generation
lol. That seems a bit questionable, if the Lossless Scaling developer didn't give permission, but I have no idea if the name is trademarked or whatever. Is it even the same frame-generation algorithm that Lossless Scaling uses? Calling it Lossless Scaling Frame Generation doesn't really make any sense otherwise.
In fact, it's a dumb name anyway, because frame generation isn't scaling -- and yes, I also think it's dumb that a program named after its scaling features is best known for a non-scaling feature in the first place.

its not exactly gaming, but i managed to get my ableton studio working by loading it from lutris and my midi keyboard just werks.
The last things I need to test are my valve index, certain games that run EAC like dragon ball fighterz, and games that use mod loaders like elder scrolls and such
So far most things work

>>530619740
For games that use mod loaders you should use steam tinker launch

>>530581423

it runs great here but that's after installing the modloader and all. maybe that's why people platinum it (even though you're not supposed to that for modded games)

Anyone know how to get Steam to install to secondary drives?

I'm using Linux Mint and I'm assuming its a permissions problem as it results in a Disk Write Error in Steam if I can even get it to let me select and add the other drive. I'm not new to linux but things I've tried haven't worked. Maybe I tried fstab wrong, maybe I used chown wrong, I don't know. Every guide seems to be about external drives, an old version, or trying to force an ntfs drive to play along. This is internal and was formatted by the OS for the OS not anything else so I've had no luck with any directions and search engines are just ass these days.

At least it restarted itself immediately. I hardly knew it shat itself.

>>530723924
I remember I had those OSM crashes z lot, I stopped seeing them but I forget if I have webgl enabled since that caused the crashes, disabled was fine.

Just Cause has screen tearing even with `strangle -v 2 %command%`, even though this is what I used to fix the screen tearing before according to my notes. (MangoHud's vsync doesn't fix it either, by the way.)
So I guess I'm done taking notes on how to get things working. It doesn't help if the shit that worked is just going to be pulled out from under me anyway. I'll just figure shit out again from scratch every single time I run the same game on the same distro with the same Proton version.

>echo -e 'Section "Device"\n\tIdentifier "AMD"\n\tDriver "amdgpu"\n\tOption "TearFree" "true"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-amdgpu.conf
Well, that fixes it — and also fixes the tearing in Canabalt which also couldn't be fixed with libstrangle or MangoHud. I can't think of a case in which I'd actually want tearing, so this is fine. It still bothers me that I don't know what the fuck changed since libstrangle was successfully able to force vsync in every game I tried, including Just Cause, but for the sake of my sanity, I guess I should just choose not to care. I did get a "new" GPU (RX 6600) since then, but a newer GPU's drivers being less capable of vsync is too stupid to be real. The old GPU was also AMD.

>>530759080
>writing to /usr/share
just create a new one in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

>>530766821
I didn't overwrite anything, but if that's the proper place to put it then I'll do that instead.
... ... And, done. And it still works. Thanks, angry Muslim man.
And while I was at it, I did some sanity testing with TearFree disabled, because I can't let things go. Started up SuperTuxKart (OpenGL), turned off its in-game Vsync option, observed tearing, restarted it with strangle -v 1, observed no tearing (and confirmed in-game Vsync was still off). Started up GZDoom (in Vulkan mode), turned off its in-game Vsync option (and set frame rate cap to 65 to make tearing super obvious), observed tearing, restarted it with strangle -v 2, observed no tearing (and confirmed in-game Vsync was still off). So it does work for at least one OpenGL case and at least one Vulkan case, not that these are real use cases since they have built-in Vsync.
I wonder if Steam Linux Runtime interferes with libstrangle somehow.

>>530770019
From my testing on RDNA2, for VRR to work properly you also need to add Option "VariableRefresh" "true". By testing I mean using VRRtest to change FPS on the fly and looking at display's hardware GUI.
Also read man file-hierarchy

>>530771273

But that's where strangle and gamescope installed themselves when I built them. Clearly my system is already fucked beyond all repair.

>>530770019
Just mod your edid to see if your monitor can do vrr with cru via wine. Install read-edid, then sudo get-edid > edid.bin, wine CRU.exe, import incomplete edid, over clock the monitor's refresh rate by 3-5hz and add the CTA block for the freesync range. Set the minimum to 48 (safe number) and Max to the iverclocked refresh rate. On xorg you can load edid files whenever, gayland can only do it after you've added it to the initramfs then power cycling the monitors and making sure the boot options specific you're loading the edid or something. VRR is a godsend and will fix your screen tearing problems.

>>530781148
I might check this out just for the sake of learning how VRR works, because my monitor is supposed to have some kind of adaptive refresh support that I never figured out, but the tearing in those games (which I can run at a stable frame rate) already appears to have been fixed just by setting TearFree to true.
As for libstrangle and MangoHud, the reason I care is that I'm annoyed that I don't know why they worked before and don't work now. (Something about Steam Linux Runtime is still my best guess, but I haven't tried any testing since my last post. Or maybe there was a change to some driver shit that I don't understand.)

although it doesn't run games without runtime, you still need to use Steam-Play-None on native games to disable runtime. For Proton games I use proton-cachyos which doesn't use runtime itself (umu developer thrown tantrum whe he heard about this)

asdagasda

>>530873631
It has not yet been merged into wine iirc, so you'd have to use a fork of wine/proton that has it patched in. From what I've read, it can improve frame times/minimum FPS and make games that crash with esync/fsync (used in proton at the moment) not crash.

>>530875527
Yeah the new proton-ge release has support for it but I'll wait when it's properly merged so I don't switch around wine/proton versions constantly.

>>530875907
From what I understand, upstream wine has been doing commits related to ntsync outside of the PR, so attempting to backport ntsync support for Proton is likely to be quite messy. Unfortunately, it may be best to wait for Proton 11 next year for proper ntsync support.

You did make the appimage executable, right anon? Run in from a terminal and see what is going wrong.

In case the appimage is lacking a dependency, you can make sure you have all of them by grabbing the PKGBUILD from the AUR and running makepkg -so.

I really like Linux Mint, but I am unsure which version is best for gaming. XFCE because meant for low spec PCs so meaning less resource consumption or Cinnamon because it is most likely what the Linux Mint Team know the best.

Sometimes when I try to play Darktide or Space Marine 2, the FPS is stupidly slow.
I reboot the PC (Linux Mint XFCE and now Cinnamon) and then the FPS behaves properly.
What am I doing wrong here? Is there some kind of setting I forgot to switch on?

>>530916894
No version of mint is "best" for gaming, due to mint using quite old packages.

>>530917523
>No version of mint is "best" for gaming, due to mint using quite old packages.
Shit. Well which distro would "most' of /lgg/ agree on is most hassle-free for gaming?

>>530917997
I switched directly from Win 7 to Endeavour OS and it's been smooth sailing so far except for a few exceptions, like the dogshit BTRFS filesystem and the grub issue that happened a while back.
I repeat, do not use BTRFS, stay on ext4 like every sane person would do.

>>530918637
Wow but Facebook uses btrfs in production! Surely it's totally stable and reliable!

>>530916894
All three desktops likely have similar gaming performance. DE choice hasn't mattered for a decade. They should all implement similar optimizations for fullscreen apps now and any memory usage difference is negligible with today's 16+ GiB systems.

>>530917997
Choices are bad right now. From what I remember, Mint is conservative with updates for packages like mesa and Pop!_OS was the gaming alternative distro if you still wanted that LTS stability, however Pop!_OS is in the middle of a major desktop transition and hasn't released their 24.04 release yet.

Your choices are basically Mint or Endeavour OS (Arch), and while Arch is quite stable, you will stub your toe from time to time on bleeding edge packages and have to keep up with announcements and pacdiff. Stay away from meme distros like Garuda and cachyos, stay away from vanilla Ubuntu spins, stay away from anything not Arch or Ubuntu-based due to patents and other non-free hoops you have to jump through.

>>530918637
>do not use BTRFS, stay on ext4
I second this. BTRFS can shit the bed and its recovery methods are not well developed so it can be a nightmare if something bad happens. EXT4 just works and is pretty hands off, XFS is another fine alternative but slightly less hands off than EXT4.

How's Fedora XFCE edition for gaming? Quite frankly I feel as though if the OS is good for gaming it should be good for other things I have in mind like Blender sculpting.

Is the KDE "krashes" meme real or just a /g/ meme in their console wars like distro wars?

>>530919693
They make a lot of experimental changes and things will break a lot more often than plain Arch. I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they're a package maintainer and intimately familiar with Linux already.

>>530920037
KDE krashes are real on rolling distros but should be vastly improved these days. Even one crash is too many crashes though, but at least they can recover now.

>Fedora
It's probably fine and the least annoying of non-Arch or Ubuntu-based distros for gaming. You'll need to add the third-party rpm fusion repo, and you may need to enable flathub instead of Fedora's own flatpak repo.

I would try KDE if that's what you want and if it's unstable, just install XFCE.

I'm nuts

MouseInjector is a Windows program, but does it work through Wine? mp4 related

>>530927104
It might work if you run windows version of emulator through wine. Can't tell about this program in particular, but generally Wine supports .dll injection as long as you add proper dll overrides.

>>530927538
I haven't made the Switch to Linux yet, I'm just doing research at the moment. MouseInjector uses a global hotkey (4) to lock your mouse inputs in some weird way, so I imagine it wouldn't work on Wayland.

If anyone would like to try, you'll need:
