Finally
It would be funny if the last spear would kill me lol

>>541564678
I haven't posted here in a while and I'm impressed at how in the last year or so this board was taken over by gacha slop. Almost half of the catalog is gacha trash.

yeah...
>>541564678
>>541567741
what's more funny is that these faggots don't even discuss their gacha shit, they just doing nonstop waifuposting

I was right. Platforming sections are much easier on keyboard than on controller. At this point I don't know what is the purpose of a controller if any game is better on a keyboard.

>>541569958
Get a gamepad with a proper dpad, the xbox/ps ones suck for 2d games.
I got a hori fighting commander octa just for that purpose.

>>541569958
I completed this area on a controller no issues... once I found the proper way to do it.

I was struggling like crazy with the platforming in the first half of the area\. Then I reached the middle point and it was literally impossible to progress, there was a jump that was too high for me to complete and progress. I kept wondering if I was missing a certain skill. After a while, I remembered my harpoon skill that I barely used. I forgot it could be used to pull you towards enemies and propel you upwards. If I had used the harpoon in the first half of the zone, it would have been a million times easier. After that, the second half was pretty easy.

But I see that you're using the harpoon skill from the get-go, so you at least passed the basic IQ check that I didn't at first.

That's a big bird
>>541573293
I think my new keyboard with magnetic switches is better than any dpad solution: I've got 3 fingers on directional controls compared to 1 finger on a dpad, and I even configured small travel for arrows for faster controls

I have the urge to play pvp fps where I aim a pistol at heads, don't wanna play the finals but I do want the 3-4 headshots to kill kinda feel. does anyone know of something I can find? tyvm

At least game is being somewhat consistent: the shittier platforming area - the higher reward in the end.

>>541573480
Dude, did you really try to complete this platforming section only by pogo-jumping enemies and even managed to move through the half of it? Lmao

Guys, it's good that gaming on Linux is working and stuff, but I really wish modern internet wasn't so shit. I wish I was back in 2010 using Linux instead on Windows doing regular 2010 stuff. Also

Too bad I didn't move to Linux earlier. Now that everything works ootb there's no satisfaction in trying to run anyting.

>>541575340
Yeah, it was fucking rough, I progressed until a bit after the bench halfway through the mountain. It's one of those moments you have to laugh at your own stupidity.
Then I stopped and thought about it, and remembered that in the sort of forced tutorial area after you get the harpoon, the devs literally teach you to use the harpoon to pull you towards enemies. What I didn't realize was that that action also made you jump slightly higher afterwards. And at the end of the tutorial, I also struggled because I couldn't reach a ledge, and I brute forced it by pogo jumping on enemies.
I kinda feel bad for Team Cherry, they went out of their way to retard-proof the game and I failed them.

This part sucked.

Technically the sloppa works, but not without issues.

somehow niche games play a lot nicer with linux.

>>541580454
>somehow niche games play a lot nicer with linux.
Of course they do, because niche games developers don't know about Linux so they don't harass us.

Setting DXVK_FRAME_RATE seems to have fixed it, apparently the in-game frame limiter leaves the main game loop running at full speed. Common Linux W.

Have fun as long as it lasts, I had to drop this due to technical issues.

i want to try an arch based distro. Should I try endeavour or cachy? or just go vanilla?

update on getting gallium nine runing
so i have to downgrade mesa and libvgl to 24 release, then on its github theres an issue where a guy fixed wow64 support but the catch is i cannot finish the compilation because i need 32bit wine which arch removed
there seems to be something on aur but as of writing this its down lol
if i can get wine 32 i wont need to do this shit compile n i would be able to test the performance diff on this shit i5 7200u witj one stick 4gb ram
also fuck lxqt ill just go back to kde
cant understand how to theme this shit
will try catchyos

>>541585291
Damn, since when?

>>541602792
Endeavour is close to vanilla if you want a nice GUI installer. Just uncheck all the eos packages during install and I think you'll only be left with a few Endeavour boot-related configs and the repo entries, and I'm not even sure if you have to deal with dracut manually any more since that was fixed upstream to add automatic hooks. Other than that, install lsb-release and os-release. 95% less work than the normal Arch install and even archinstall.

>>541611624
>repo entries
And after you remove them and pacman -Syu, run pacman -Qqm to find any leftover packages, if there even are any. Search / for 'eos' and you might find a file or two like their now unused mirrorlist you can remove but they aren't doing any harm.

I'm pretty sure that's everything if you made sure to uncheck all eos packages during installation. Super simple and nice to do from a GUI instead of working from a CLI until you have a usable desktop.

I don't really like rogue-like games, but I bought the streamer slop of the week, Megabonk, mainly because it was cheap.
It's Unity and I'm running the native version. The only issue I had was that the controller is completely broken, which is a normal occurrence for me on the Unity Engine when playing native Linux games. I didn't plan on playing with a controller anyway, but I have to physically disconnect it when playing otherwise it will keep pressing random buttons by itself.

Anyway, even for someone like me who is not fond of rogue stuff, the game is certainly designed in a way to be very addictive.
Also, mangohud is not showing on Steam screenshots for some reason, not that it matters.

>>541583127
huh

>>541614932
Native Unity seems like it breaks real easily.

Finally switching to linux mint. Been long on W10, but finally saying goodbye to this bloated spyware shit. Anything I should know? I've got a SSD arriving soon, unfortunately I got an NVIDIA.
Do I have to download an OS separately to the other SSD and will my files save on it if I transfer and do a full reset? Not that technically literate yet. I don't want to do a full file transfer mainly because I only have music I've wanted to long put on another storage anyways so I can have more space for gaming.

>>541631753
>Do I have to download an OS separately to the other SSD and will my files save on it if I transfer and do a full reset?
I have no clue what you mean by all that.

If you want to use your new SSD, you have to install Mint to it. Easiest way it via USB stick.
Accessing your old files is possible then.

>I don't want to do a full file transfer
should not be a problem for something like a media storage. I wouldn't put my games on a ntfs drive though.

>>541632217
Worded it a bit confusingly.
Basically I'm not transferring files from w10 to mint. I only want some stuff saved on the sata SSD I bought like music which takes up a lot of space. Space I could use for gaming on my main NVMe hard drive that reads faster.

>>541632964
so you want to put mint on the nvme and have a second ssd for stuff like media? Yeah, that's fine (besides the prices for sata ssds, I got a second nvme in the end instead)

>>541633126
Yeah but if I install it like this
https://youtu.be/_D0bwTd0PHM?list=LL&t=288
Does it automatically install windows on the drive or is it just connected to the main one? Also if I put stuff in there and then do an OS transfer without file transfer, will it delete the shit I have on there?

>>541633716
I'm not gonna watch a video now but
>Does it automatically install windows on the drive
that would be damn scary. Not even windows can be that shit.
> Also if I put stuff in there and then do an OS transfer without file transfer, will it delete the shit I have on there?
What is an OS transfer? If you put files there while using windows, and then replace windows with mint the files are still there. The drive will be ntfs then though. (which should work for your use case, but I'd rather have my drives with linux native filesystems)
You can't switch filesystems without nuking the data, so you'd have to temporaily put them somewhere else

>>541631753
>>541632964
>>541633716
I'm not gonna lie, I don't know if you're extremely tech illiterate or if you're trying to troll us.
Bro, literally download rufus and the Mint ISO, then use rufus to properly format a pen drive and copy Mint onto it, then boot into that pen drive and install Mint. There are plenty of video tutorials on how to install Mint or pretty much any OS out there.
There's no such thing as "OS transfer". If you're afraid some of your data on any drive might be lost, backup it to an external drive.

>>541634915
You're asking too much from a windows retard, but whatever I'll figure it out and curse later if I lose something.

>>541631753
>>541633716
>>541632217
I'm going to assume you're not very computer savvy given how you worded your question and subsequent responses/questions, and that you have a prebuilt, so let me clarify some things for you:
1. Any drive you attach, whether it be a flash drive, SSD, HDD, etc. will *not* have an OS installed onto it, nor automatically install one for you. You have to do the OS install yourself.
2. So long as you're installing the Mint on the blank drive itself, there won't be any data loss, and you can still access the other drive while in Mint. Personally speaking, I wouldn't use NTFS for gaming or storage, like >>541632217 said, but you do you.
3. Since you mentioned you want to put stuff on that SSD, I'd install Mint first, then copy your files over to the new drive to avoid any data loss. (You can make a different Windows compatible partition first, like NTFS or exFAT, transfer your files over through Windows, then set that partition to a mount point of your choosing before you go to install Mint and have your data be fine, but I prefer to have my Linux drive free of as many unnecessary partitions, if possible.)
4. Windows is only compatible with NTFS, FAT, and WinEFI partitions. It does not support ext4, btrfs, zfs, etc., but Linux is.
5. If you do plan on keeping that Windows drive intact or otherwise keep it as an NTFS drive, read this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
TL;DR, NTFS is not supported officially by Steam on Linux but will work, with the possibility of issues (e.g. crashing, freezing, slower load times). You have to do some system configuration in order for Steam to read/write to those drives.
6. OS transfers don't exist.

I hope this helps out some. Just get a blank 8GB flash drive, get Rufus and an ISO of Mint, and go from there. You'll have to look up how to boot from a different device on your computer.
If there's something you need clarification for, just ask.

>>541635904 (Me)
Oh, and an addendum for point 3: install the drive to your computer first, then install Mint to that drive.

>>541635904
Thanks anon

>ScummVM doesn't work right with The Neverhood

Wack.
On another note, the stop motion in this game is gorgeous!

Holy shit GNOME is such a fucking cancer. I have a fallout-ce executable which should be ran from the game directory and it's absolutely impossible to make a desktop entry for it.
1. GN*ME has no built in desktop entry editor so you need third party applications make one, lmao
2. I've tried libre-menu-editor and menu-libre. First one is a gtk4 and libadwaita native and it doesn't allow to set working directory for the desktop entry (I guess there's no use case). Second one is written in gtk 3 but here's another problem
3. Path to the executable is "/home/user/GOG Games/Fallout 1" and it seems GNOME can't handle whitespaces in Path key even if they're handled with quotes or /s

And since there's no icons on desktop I can't make any shortcut to the game. The only solution is to specify Exec key of desktop entry without specifying Path to some start.sh script that will resolve its own full path, change working dir and only then run the game.

What a fucking embarrassment.

I'm switching over to linux on my main PC. So far i've had things set up on four main drives in windows like:

-Main OS drive and app folders(500gb SATA3)
-Dump drive for captures and downloads (2Tb SATA3)
-Editing drive for Da Vinci projects, necessary video/audio materials and editor itself (500gb M.2)
-Vidya drive (4Tb M.2)
(-Multiple external drives for backing up/exporting finished projects)

Can someone spoonfeed me to a good read or video on how filesystem in general works in linux? I heard everything installs into a /home folder, but can i have multiple drives for specific use cases like i've had for now? Can i have multiple /home folders or spread subfolders from it to separate drives?

>>541653270
>1. GN*ME has no built in desktop entry editor so you need third party applications make one, lmao
Or just a text editor. The desktop entry is a fairly simple plaintext format.
>3. Path to the executable is "/home/user/GOG Games/Fallout 1" and it seems GNOME can't handle whitespaces in Path key even if they're handled with quotes or /s
Sad if true. But, if I remember correctly, spaces in the Path field should not be quoted or escaped. Given that the value is expected to be the location of a single folder, spaces are just interpreted as part of the path in this context, and no quoting or escaping is necessary. So if your first attempt at entering the Path value had quotes or backslashes, don't do that. Just enter the path as returned by `pwd`, and NOT as you would pass it to `cd`. Only the Exec field needs literal spaces quoted or escaped in order to disambiguate literal spaces in file paths from those between arguments.

>>541631753
>>541662729
Is the great migration finally upon us?

>>541662729
Btrfs can probably do that?

>>541631753
>I've got a SSD arriving soon,
Then you should probably install Linux on that. And before doing so, you should just unplug all the drives you don't want to erase, so that you have no chance of accidentally telling the Mint installer to erase them. Plug them back in after Mint is installed.
Wherever you install Linux, it will format the selected drive (or the selected partition of that drive) which means erasing everything on it.
Just want to make that clear in case it wasn't obvious already.

>>541663141
Plain path with spaces doesn't work as well, it's the first thing I've tried after moving to quotes and escapes sequences

>>541665374
It's hard to believe GNOME is so ass, but I don't use GNOME. I use Cinnamon, where I'm pretty sure spaces in Path are not a problem.
The GNOME help page for desktop entries doesn't even mention the Path key
>https://help.gnome.org/admin//system-admin-guide/2.32/menustructure-desktopentry.html.en
which is pretty weird; the Path key is optional but so are several of the other keys shown there.

>>541662729
The correct way would be to back everything up and format every drive to ext4, btrfs or the file system you choose, the easy way is backing up what you want to keep from the main OS drive, format it and install the distro there, then you mount the other drives to whatever folder you want, e.g.
>dump drive > ~/data/downloads
>editing drive > ~/data/videos
>vidya drive > ~/data/games
The problem with not formatting the other drives is they'll probably use ntfs and that could lead to issues down the line, I've done it for a couple of years and it's not a big deal but it's not recommended

>>541669165
Good stuff, thank you so much. It seems i can go wild with just partitioning drives and mounting folders for different needs. And yes, i'm planning on fully wiping current drives and and building from the ground up.

Are these mounting points universal across different distros? Could i just partition my main drive and try out different distros wihout the risk of wiping personal directories or the main distro?

>>541653270
>>541663141
>>541665374
>>541666737
Well, actually I might been wrong. It seems that GNOME caches desktop entries somewhere instead of running them from disk and when I change it the changes doesn't immediately apply. It took some time but path with whitespaces is actually works.

>>541674000
>caches desktop entries somewhere instead of running them from disk
How annoying.
Maybe Cinnamon does the same thing though. I've noticed icon changes aren't always immediately visible in the menu. Then again, that could be an icon-caching thing specifically.

>>541673239
Usually the bulk of these folders go into system partition, /home is the one that should be separate. Reason is different distros use different mutually incompatible software repositories, your distro provides the foundation, and maintainers build FOSS programs targeting this foundation.
Then the /home/username folder holds config files for installed non-system software, so normally you want to avoid re-using the same user name/folder across many distros. Different usernames on the same partition housing /home is fine.

If we're recommending that he install Linux Mint, what's the point of contradicting the official Linux Mint installation guide rather than just pointing him to it?
>https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
>https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html#in-windows-mac-os-or-other-linux-distributions
The official guide recommends using Etcher, and while I'm sure there are many alternatives that work, that's the one that the installation guide explains how to use.

>>541673239
No problem anon, be careful with the other drives, disconnect them before the installation just to be safe
>Could i just partition my main drive and try out different distros wihout the risk of wiping personal directories or the main distro
It's possible to use multiple distros on different partitions but it's preferable to just try them out on a VM or using something like Ventoy. When I have to reinstall or switch I always nuke the whole drive, some people use a separate /home partition to avoid this but I've read it can lead to problems with conflicting config files.

Shit like this is grounds for a negative review in my opinion. "Don't waste the player's time" should be the first commandment of modern game development (and I say "modern" because it's too late to change the fact that "start over and tediously play through all the easy shit again for each attempt at the hard part" is considered good game design by retro standards but honestly it can fuck off for any new game not trying to be retro).

so I have CachyOS and a friedn of mine has Windows 10
we want to play Elden Ring with Seamless Coop - also we're both using the lastest DODI repack (I couldn't get FitGirl to properly install on my machine)

My main issue is what program to use to connect both our computers?
1 year ago, I was still on Windows 10 and we both used RadminVPN and it worked fine - but apparentely Radmin doesnt natively support Linux
So is there any similiar program that can connect my Arch Linux mahcine to his Win10?

Also a general guide to install and get Seamless Coop to run well on this pirate version would be appreciated

Oh, never mind. That's some kind of wind indicator. It appears for me when I enable wind.

Would mint xfce have less input lag in fighting games compared to cinnamon because of the compositor?

What should I throw in the launch options for launching a different executable with a linux native game?
Too used to proton, which I guess I could use, but eh, this game seems to work native and it's something I'd rather launch quickly.

>>541739395
I'm not on mint but I had one less frame of input lag on Wayland in SF6 based off retarded frame-countering phone footage testing from when I switched.

>>541739395
Even with compositor it shouldn't matter since when in fullscreen game is being unredirected unless you're gaming in windowed mode or having multiple monitors.

I had a dream where i wiped everything and hard installed linux. I didn't end up liking it all that much, so i decided it was not the time to move on just yet.
I mounted my recovery drive with my own customized and de-bloated Win10 LTSC image. It didn't boot automatically so i opened it in nautilus. The drive had only one folder in it that was labeled "In case of copi failure" and was filed with anthropomorphous lewds.

>>541742007
I usually play windowed because fullscreen is rougher on my eyes, with compositor off would that stop any problem with windowed mode?
>>541741976
I have a nvidia 1070 and I heard wayland has problems with nvidia. I don’t know much about it though, I just switched to linux a few days ago, on cinnamon right now but considering switching to xfce.

I'm on AMD so I can't speak for that, but I'm also apparently a retard because I was told there was no difference between fullscreen and windowed on Wayland, which after some googling after reading >>541742007 appears to be possibly untrue.

Is using the very high preset necessary with HEVC 10 bit in gpu screen recorder? Recording at 1080p 60 gave me a 6GB file. Would there be an appreciable quality difference if I dropped the preset down to high? I'm using an AMD card btw.

>>541746692
It depends on what you are recording. Some games like elden ring with a lot of details need very high quality to maintain pixel-level quality, but the filesize also depends on how much details there is in the scene. You can switch to high just fine in some cases. By default gpu screen recorder records in "constant quality" mode which means it maintains the same quality between frames, so it prioritizes quality over filesize.

You can switch to "constant bitrate" mode which means it maintains bitrate (size) instead, which means that if there is more motion in a frame then the quality will decrease instead. This is the default mode when you are using replay feature or streaming (in the gui).

585 in 20 days, dx12 fixed, vrr fixed, rt perf improvements. ITS OVER AMDDRONES

>>541757304
Doesn't dx12 fix require a change in vulkan? a tranny (literal) found the issue and is working on vulkan change. That change will need to pass the vulkan standards and then nvidia needs to implement it and then dxvk as well.

>>541757837
vulkan extension getting released end of october as well

>>541744091
I dont think there is a difference in latency on wayland when you have a window/fullscreen application, but there might be a tiny difference in performance or percieved smoothness. For absolute best latency you want to run x11 with no compositor and no vsync. You can enable tearing on wayland as well, but that seems to be broken in the linux kernel and has been for months.

>>541694087
What are some demanding OGL games? I can only think of Deus Ex Mankind Divided, but that runs much worse than the Windows version. Need a game with a good Linux version or Windows OGL.

>>541758291
>>541694087
Now that I think about it, that voxel destruction game with a custom engine that went to dx12 after an update was OpenGL, the cards that are 340 only might be a bit old to run the game well.

>>541757960
There's difference in Wayland between full-screen and windowed applications because for full-screen applications most window compositors implement direct scanout path. But this difference is mostly negligible because most Wayland compositors implement compositing very efficiently thanks to the sane design choices.

>>541764797
Yes but I dont think direct scanout affects latency in practice?

>>541764870
For me the only thing I have noticed with direct scanout is the framerate it can display the game at (not fps of the game). With direct scanout it displays the game at 60 fps but without it displays it at 30 fps. This happens in some very heavy games on amd.

How do I create a 150gb disk partition on my CachyOS machine, so I can install Windows 10 in that sdd partition?
I'll play ER from there...

>>541765423
Do you mean to use the same ssd that you use for linux or a linux filesystem? if so then dont do it. Windows updates can silently remove your linux partition. I have seen it happen. You should only do it if you do it on a separate ssd.

>>541765716
>Do you mean to use the same ssd that you use for linux
yes, afterall my sdd is the only hard drive I have on my computer...
I was thinking of doing a dual boot (it would be my first)
>Windows updates can silently remove your linux partition
you're joking... right?
if not that's evil
I've downloaded Windows 10 LTSC from massgrave, suposedly their activation key is pirated
and I plan to shutdown updates

are you sure even then windows will delete my linux partition?

>>541766260
Yes, windows can shit up if you install it on the same physical harddrive as linux.

>>541741060
>launching a different executable with a linux native game
Do you mean launching another executable alongside the game within the same Stream Linux Runtime? Or do you just mean changing the executable that Steam launches i.e. replacing it with another?

>>541741060
Sorry for assuming Steam in >>541779986 if that's not what you meant, but you mentioned Proton, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there any way to stop Steam from minimizing to systray when I close the window? I don't use a systray with my window manager and would like Steam to close completely if I close the window.

>>541788139
I don't know of a way, so if there's nothing in the Steam settings then you might just need to get used to doing Steam -> Exit from the Steam title bar or whatever.
Or write a cron job that runs every second, checks for a Steam window and kills all Steam processes if it doesn't find one :^)

A beautiful sight

>>541797054

Valve really should give an option to disable the minimizing.

One thing that is nice about stellar blade is that every single character is voiced for all dialogs, including random npcs. The mouths are also synced to the voice language you have chosen and not just lip movement, but also mouth shape and cheeks and everything that moves as you would expect when speaking

Damn, im stuck on a boss on stellar blade. I have upgraded my shit to the max but I still cant beat it. To beat it I have to be able to consistently do a perfect block or a dodge (blocking/dodging at a very precise moment) and do it multiple times in a row. I cant really even heal myself since the boss attacks me immediately when I do and I die in like 2 hits.

GN + Linux ?

I have a problem with an old VN, it's https://vndb.org/v418 , the deal with it is that it starts but a few lines into the story the game shut-downs completely. The ISO came with a NoDVD Patch, but I can't install it for some reason.
Does anyone have any experience with old visual novels that could help me?

>>541811343
I haven't had that issue before with old VNs. I usually just run the game with japanese locale and it works. But try running the game from the terminal and check what error it outputs in the terminal when it shuts down

Gamescope please...

>>541925034
Gamescope is buggy piece of shit, if you need hdr better use wine-wayland driver

>>541925640
I was using it because my mouse wasn't locking to the game window. But now it's locking without gamescope so I dunno what that was about.
But then if I use winewayland without gamescope the cursor bugs out going back to the game window.

>>541927429
Oh, right, and the game pausing in a weird way when losing focus. But I found a mod that disables that.

>>541927429
There's now option in Wine to lock cursors in fullscreen games.

>>542012374
The video in the class preview fails to load and I believe that is what is causing the game to crash when you switch between classes, so you end up having to customize your character many times to get back there. Maybe it works if you quickly select a class and press next.

>>542014830
It worked, but the game itself isn't any good imo. I also get around 45-55 fps despite the game not looking that good. There is also no regular anti alias solution, there is only FSR and TAA. With TAA is looks like a blurry mess.

Umm those things are deprecated and we need to trust and believe the people who decided there is no longer any use case for them. Surely they wouldn't just enshittify Linux Gaming by dropping support for things you still need.
Frankly I can't wait until they drop support for [another thing I personally don't need] so that the developers don't have to waste time on it anymore!

Since it's October I've been trying to get my spook on.
I've been trying to get the original Bioshock to run, but for some reason it refuses to launch unless I specify it to use Directx 9 in the Steam launch options.
According to the graphics menu It also supports Directx 10 and has a few graphical features locked behind it, but as i said, it only wants to launch in dx9 mode.

I guess I could play it as-is, but I find the idea that niggas in 2006 could run this game with better graphics than I can in 2025 ridiculous.
Anyone know what might be going on?

>>542105506
I remember having issues with original BioShock on Windows so in Steam Deck I've decided to play demaster

back from my vacation so i can make and post webms again
>>542089092
you reverted the gallium nine removal commit right?
>>542105506
i was going to say change your wine prefix windows version to vista or newer, but proton defaults to win 10 as the default version now. no idea, i would check proton's issue tracker for bioshock to give you some clues.

>>542105506
apparently I own this on gog so I gave it a try through heroic
it seems to work on my end? the dx10 graphics option appears to be enabled at least
try running it with either proton-ge or proton-cachyos, that's pretty much all I did

>>542109332
also this game looks a lot more shit than I remember lmao

How would one go about making a soundboard for TF2 on linux? I can't use the soundpad anymore since it's not compatible even with proton. I downloaded soundux but it doesn't detect tf2. I tried to make a virtual cable but maybe I'm too stupid since I couldn't get it to pick up the output. Anyone able to help?

>>542111312
Could go the old fashioned way with qpwgraph and your media player of choice.

>>542111312
>I downloaded soundux but it doesn't detect tf2.
Strange, that shouldn't happen

>>542111206
eheheh

>>542116753
I only found a github issue about it from 2 years ago with a reply this summer, so it might not be fixed. My whole system audio is also looping and creating loud reverb in voice chat but I couldn't find what was causing it in PulseAudio control.
I checked tf2 sound settings but there's only speaker configuration and that doesn't help.

>>542113618
I haven't used windows in a very long time but does windows have anything like qpwgraph that allows you to setup links between applications and audio devices like that and have it built-in into windows audio system? or is linux actually better than windows when it comes to that?

i should see how/if opticaler makes fsr4 look better for modern games

>>542128139
How. The closest alternative Windows has is virtual audio cable. It's a paid software with free plan that allows to create virtual audio devices.

>>541566065 (OP)
>https://store.steampowered.com/search?category1=998&os=linux
Better use this
https://store.steampowered.com/linux

>>542135924
I dont just mean virtual audio devices, but also change the links in all audio connections, no matter which audio device is records from. So you dont have to stop recording audio in an application and then set it up to the virtual device, you can just change that while its running. Its also no limited to audio, it technically works with all media, including webcam and screen recording. So if you are showing your webcam on teams you could add your screen to that. It basically makes every application work like obs studio automatically.

It's gaming time

>>542139521
and its also the difference between pulseaudio and pipewire. Pulseaudio also allowed you to create virtual audio devices, but not node links like with pipewire

>>542109332
Proton-ge doesn't seem to make any difference for me.
I am noticing after reinstalling that on a first launch the game opens an installer for an unspecified Directx version that auto-fails. I think i just said no thanks the previous time because I assumed Vulcan or whatever would be taking the wheel instead.

Furry inflation

I wonder if there are people cruel enough to break this statuette for a measly 60 shards

I tried native build of Cronos: The New Dawn and it sucks from the start: game is statically linked to SDL2 (at least dynamic api environment variable works), game don't see HDR even with Wayland driver (BG3 didn't have that problem), Vsync locks framerate to 60 fps instead of monitor refresh rate. I wonder who to blame: EGS or retarded devs?

How do you stop audio output from being picked up as input (CachyOS w/ KDE)? Going through settings in Deadlock and apparently the song I'm listening to is being picked up as mic input even though I don't have a mic connected. Muting the fake mic in settings and switching audio profiles didn't do anything. Everything seems to work normally when my headset is plugged in.

>>542170825
Is the audio output listed in your audio inputs? for example in pavucontrol. If not, then its likely a bug in deadlock.

>>542170825
Try making wireplubmer rule that disables monitors

>>542177683
It's not bug, wine list monitors of outputs in input devices, so if he don't have any real input device monitor of his output devices gets assigned as a default input device

>>542134631
It's more of a crapshoot on Linux than Windows.
I've tried it on three games.
DRG works perfectly.
MHR doesn't expose the menu or DLSS/DLAA at all despite successfully spoofing as a 4090.
NMS exposes DLSS/DLAA but crashes amdgpu if you try to load a save with either of them.

>>542177916
Oh, I thought deadlock a valve game was a native linux game

Well, time for Halloween wallpapers.

After hours of searching I finally found a two star asksvin and managed to capture it in my enclosure. I already have a one star one tamed, and from what I read online, breeding a two star with a one star has a 50% chance of yielding a two star egg. From there it's not that hard to get an army of two star asksvin. I hope they will help me in the Deep North when it drops, and there's still some optional grinding I want to do in the Ashlands, which they might make it a bit easier.

dophin-emu in Cachy repos wasn't recompiled against latest fmt

>>542264457
What's disgusting is that, despite having an unlimited frame rate option, the game fails to work correctly at high frame rates.
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Spyro_Reignited_Trilogy#High_frame_rate_issues
And it's not just a few bugs here and there. Frame rate affects jump height which is a bit of a problem in a game so heavily focused on jumping. I might not be right in assuming that 30 FPS yields the "correct" jump physics, and it's only at frame rates higher than 60 FPS that I can easily see with the naked eye that the jump height is wrong, but the cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS so I figured that was what the inept developers intended.

>stupid animals posing for the photo as if they picked up the trash when in fact it was all done by my disembodied hand cursor
>the trash was scattered over the level at the start and they were just sitting there doing nothing
Bastards.
But also the game would be cooler if the animals would actually walk around and do stuff when I'm not picking them up and dropping them in whatever situation amuses me.

Cute.
I should replay Costume Quest until I remember that it's too long for what it is.

This isn't going to be worth the wait, is it?

I guess I'll keep the download going even though I'll probably go to bed before it finishes. Maybe the game will be shit, but the fact that it actually has a manual linked from the Steam library (unlike 99% of games) is nice enough that I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Should I actually play with a controller? Half the time I see developers saying "controller recommended", it turns out the game is objectively better with a mouse because it requires aiming. I suspect this one will be the same, unless the aiming is so fundamentally awful (as in Deadly Premonition) that any precision I'd gain is lost to aggressive mouse acceleration and other nonsense.

>>542310579
I played both of EW games with mouse and keyboard, it's way better because you'll be spending most of the time shooting shit and headshots are necessary because of ammo scarcity.

What is this creature?

Gamer cat.

AFK leveling my summon skill in Valheim on my second display while actively solo farming raids in Fallout 76.
It's nice that Valheim has a setting that automatically lowers the game performance while it's in the background, not many games have that. I miss that the Nvidia driver on Windows had a setting that could force a lower frame rate per game while it's in the background. I don't doubt that on Linux you could write a script for that but I can't be arsed, not to mention that the only game I need that feature right now already has it.

I did it. I found all the cats.
My wife and kids helped.
We also used the hint button sometimes because finding the last cat isn't fun if it takes more than a couple of minutes and I can't imagine caring that I "didn't beat the game" when the game in question is hidden-object slop.

>>542345740
Almost certainly not, because it didn't actually finish. My system slowed to a crawl overnight and I woke up to find it barely responsive. Steam seems to absolutely shit itself during fuckhuge downloads on this machine; the only other large game installed right now is Spyro and I think I had some issues in the middle of its download as well. I don't know if it's a memory issue or a CPU issue or a disk I/O issue (yes it's HDD but it's only fuckhuge Steam downloads that ever give me a problem). I hit the pause button on the download and went to take a shit, and when I got back, Steam wasn't running, so maybe it got OOM killed or something. I restarted the system for good measure and opened Steam again, and the download resumed (but not from 0%, thank fuck, so I guess I'll let it keep going while I do other stuff).

>>542393532
Modern Steam is consuming a lot of RAM and also decompressing files during download. If your machine doesn't have a lot of RAM and also has weak CPU I suggest you to use big swap file instead of zram

>>542395520
8 GB of RAM but yes, the CPU is quite old now and therefore automatically shit by modern standards.
I think my swap size is 2 GB, which is probably Mint's default because I don't remember playing with any swap-related settings.

>>542396302
>8 GB of RAM
>I think my swap size is 2 GB
lmao

>>542396390
That swap size is whatever I got by clicking through the installer, and not stopping to search for the optimal amount and then ultimately asking ChatGPT to hallucinate an answer to compensate for search engines being garbage in MMXXV.
Should it be more or less? Saying "lmao" doesn't tell me anything.

(Yes I know, I'm exaggerating the enshittification of search engines today and downplaying my own laziness. The top search results say I should have more swap. I have the space for it so that's fine.)

But I can see that Steam isn't actually using all my RAM anyway, so anything related to swap probably won't fix any specific problem I'm having. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

>>542397449
8 gigs is the least I'd use, you can make it 16 so that your machine is able to hibernate.
>>542400651
At least of a couple steam processes use hundreds of megabytes each to display the electron GUI at idle.

How does Nosferatu run now? Not sure if it was a wine bug or something but a few years ago it ran like shit

lol, they actually covered this

I am now the proud owner of a larger swap file.

>>542410407

>>542406798
Nosferatu did run like shit with several previous versions of Proton, but it should be fine with the latest.
In my experience, it actually ran well with Proton 5.0, but performance was inexplicably horrible with several Proton versions after that (5.13, 6.3, and 7.0 at least). This was super shitty because the performance problem appeared in exactly the same Proton versions that seemed capable of playing the opening cutscene out-of-the-box (using transcoded video files from Valve if I'm not mistaken). The cutscenes can be fixed by running
>protontricks 283290 quartz
and prepending
>WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winegstreamer="
to the launch options, so when I played the game a few years ago, I just did that and used Proton 5.0.
However, with Proton 9.0, the performance issues seem to be gone. Moreover, Proton 9.0 has D8VK, so performance can be improved further by putting
>PROTON_DXVK_D3D8=1
at the front of the launch options. Proton 9.0 also uses transcoded videos from the shader cache, but you still might want to do the tweaks to fix the cutscenes. Although the opening cutscene for the Steam version just works, not all videos have been transcoded yet, and so (last time I checked) I was still getting that color-bar test pattern for some later cutscenes. I've heard that Valve will transcode a video if enough users get the color bars, but the game is pretty obscure and most players probably quit before the end. At least there's another fix for it.

>>542410407
Use-case for swap file?

>>542406798
>>542412774
You'll also want to set the screen resolution (etc.) via launch options, unless you're okay with running the game at 800x600 or whatever the default resolution is.
The only obvious way to change the video settings is to run a separate executable for the setup launcher, and running it with Proton is possible but it's a pain in the ass and not worth it. (Even on Windows, where in theory you can just double-click this setup launcher, it sucks because it doesn't remember settings until a registry key is created manually, and even then, the settings are saved only for the setup launcher and aren't applied when running the game directly, so you'd have to launch the game through the setup window every time in order to use non-default settings.)
This horrible setup launcher works by running the game with command-line arguments, so it can be bypassed just by adding the arguments to the Steam launch options.
The launch options used when my screenshot was taken are
>PROTON_DXVK_D3D8=1 MANGOHUD=1 %command% -adapter=0 -tq=32 -tf=2 -aa=4 -lg=2 -lt=2 -pd=2 -s=1 -w=1600 -h=1200 -d=32
where -w and -h are the resolution width and height.
Since Windows users have an existing (albiet horribly shitty) solution already, and also don't understand the concept of command-line arguments and probably don't know how to see what arguments were passed to a running program, this is documented almost nowhere except for this game's thread on the Proton issue tracker:
>https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2255
The only other place I've seen it documented is a comment on this Steam guide (which I can't read, but I can see the command-line arguments are the same as mine except for resolution):
>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=689308999
Someone who isn't lazy should put this information on PC Gaming Wiki (where the various issues with the settings launcher are mentioned but the command-line options are not).

>>542432880
It's a very interesting but very janky game. If you've never played it before, maybe try looking up a guide with some general tips — not that I can really name one that I know to be particularly helpful, having learned a lot of things the hard way myself. This one here
>https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/917976-nosferatu-the-wrath-of-malachi/faqs/37705
says the unarmed punching attack is good as fuck against single enemies because it stun-locks them, but I've never tried it. Maybe I should.
Tips I can give are mostly related to gameplay mechanics that aren't obvious, and totally non-secret things that are easy to miss if you're as dumb as I am.
• Right in front of you at the start of the game, there's a suitcase with a sword in it. Don't forget to pick that up.
• Right behind you at the start of the game, there's a door to the area with some wooden stakes, which are used for insta-killing vampires in their coffins. The suitcases in this area are locked because this is where you'll need to bring any people you rescue (and they'll unlock the suitcases for you).
• If you hit the reload button while holding a gun that isn't empty, any ammo in the gun is discarded. So once you pick up guns that hold multiple rounds (like the revolver), you'll have to break any reload-after-every-shot habits you may have.
• If you have a flintlock pistol and you pick up another, you don't just get ammo. You actually get another pistol, so you have two... and then three, and then four, and so on. You can't dual-wield, but cycling between your pistols by hitting the weapon's number key again is faster than reloading. Of course you'll have to reload your whole pile of flintlocks eventually.
• Same goes for muskets.
• Sometimes the doorway to the place you need to go will be illuminated by a green light. I think a character mentions this, but I didn't read carefully the first time I played, so it took me a while to realize what the fuck he was talking about.

Jesus Christ how horrible

On Mint if I open a Unity game, and then click somewhere on my desktop (even in borderless mode) the game will stop responding to my inputs. It still runs, but I'm not longer able to control anything even if I try to click back on the game or alt-tab back in, and need to force quit/kill the process. Once I restart the game, it works fine, but I cannot click anything on the desktop or it will run into the same issue and I have to restart again.

This makes it annoying if I'm trying to screenshot something or click the next youtube video to watch while I play. Anyone else run into this issue? Any fixes? I guess I could just not click outside the game, but still.

Speaking of Unity, I guess there's been a security vulnerability for linux and devs are trying to patch their games. Wonder what's going on and if they fixed it.

>>542490328
There is a vulnerability that affects all platforms.
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-59489
I'm sure a shitload of games will never be patched. I hate Unity more than ever. I think someone said only multiplayer games are affected but I have no idea about that.

>>542490182
Can't relate, on cinnamon x11 both native and windows Unity games work like a charm for me.

>>542491256
>Malware can execute code on your machine through a unity game if it has access to your computer
Why not just execute code directly? sounds like a non-issue.

>>542492532
I won't pretend to understand it, but if this is one of those "this program is vulnerable if the hacker already has direct access to your machine" bugs then lol I guess.

>>542491270
You can click outside the game (in windowed mode) on your desktop and can click back on the game and it will work? It still tracks my mouse movement, but it stops tracking my clicks. Wonder what's causing this. This happened on older versions of Mint with Cinnamon too. Could it be my GPU maybe (nvidia)? Weird. If you have an AMD GPU and have no problems then maybe that's what's causing this.

>>542492813
Thats what it looks like yes. It seems like its more of an issue on android since it allows a malicious application with low permissions to hijack another application with more permissions

>>542491256
>>542490328
I've never heard of anyone actually caring about security in games before.

is this usable?
https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui

>>542494770
In some older multiplayer games like Titanfall or the old Call of Duties, your pc can get hacked through a match. I think Titanfall got fixed, but if you want to play the old Modern Warfares, it's recommended to install the community mod/patch since those get security updates.

Nine Sols is pretty good, no webms because the gameplay is very heated during bosses.
I should make a shortcut to the fucking xbox home button to record, instead of it being useless.

>>542510893
I just saw that gpu screen recorder supports gamepad shortcuts but enabling it didn't do anything.
Tested both in xinput mode on my gamesaar pad and PS4 mode on my hori pad.

>>542511912
I have only tested it with a real ps4 controller

>>542514214
Did you just enable it and it just worked?
Because in my case I'm getting annoyed by the kde share popup when I press the home button.

>>542518025
>Did you just enable it and it just worked?
Yes
>kde share popup
I have never heard of this before, but I've noticed that steam also started showing the overlay when you press the home button. I'll have to make the controller hotkeys override the buttons like I do with keyboard hotkeys

>try homura hime demo
>starts up in 4k resolution, the resolution I want
>open graphics settings
>resolution changes to 1080p and there is no option to change to 4k
Do I really have to reinstall the game to set resolution to 4k again? I tried finding a plain-text config file but I didn't see any with resolution

>>542527941
I found the regedit entry but the game overwrites it when I start the game

>>542529475
It was faster to reinstall the game to fix it than to find a solution

maximum damage

>>542518025
Ahem... Fuck wayland devs' obsession with "muh security."

>>542504086
How do we bring these people here to bump oir threads?

>>542527941
Change it in config file next time.

>>542540236
As I said I didn't find any config file with that information

>>542538992
The share shit came from steam, disabled it in big picture mode, though I still have no clue why it doesn't work with screen recorder.

>>542546173
I was assuming the "share keyboard and mouse control" or whatever popup. I was getting it when I mapped an extra controller button to a custom input that includes keyboard keys.

>>542491256
>>542492813
>>542492883
Regardless, it has the potential to be an unprecedented disaster for game preservation if platforms decide to remove affected games from users' accounts for being unsafe. I own several Unity games that are probably affected but have nothing new in the update history and therefore probably weren't patched. What if Gaben decides they're a liability and not only delists them from the Steam store but removes them completely? You can say "just pirate them" but what percentage of games are really piratable? These are obscure indie games I'm worried about, not normie slop. I'd already be a pirate if I only wanted to play $70 """AAA""" games.
If we're lucky enough that unpatched affected games are left alone... well, setting aside the possibility that the vulnerability is no big deal (because I just don't know), would running the game in Firejail or some other kind of sandbox be sufficient to mitigate it?

This brat is too erotic

>>542546627
It was that, it was steam asking for it, when I enabled it then I could activate the steam shit like gamepad keyboard.
