minecraft arm64 VPS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 15:18

Hi,

I'm trying to run Minecraft on a VPS with an ARM64 architecture running Canonical-Ubuntu-22.04-aarch64-2024.02.18-0.

Here's what I've tried so far:

* I've tried installing the normal MultiMC launcher and the GDLauncher, as I was told that the gd one work on ARM64, but it doesn't.

* I've tried the Minecraft tar.gz version of the official Minecraft and the Minecraft Pi version of the official Minecraft, but neither of them worked.

* I installed Pi-Apps because I saw someone say that I can use it to install an ARM64 version of the MultiMC launcher, but I don't really know how to use it with the terminal. I'm wondering if I can use X11 forwarding or a VNC to get a graphical interface, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

Can anyone help me figure out how to run Minecraft on this VPS? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

BG3 on Flatpak Steam stopped launching after working flawlessly for months

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 15:00

I've been happily playing BG3 using Flatpak Steam on Linux Mint 21.3 for months. Got 120 hours into the game with nearly no problems at all. I never had to use a GE version of proton, nor did I have to change the run command. Everything was working fine.

About a month ago, the game just stopped launching. I updated all my flatpaks, my nVidia drivers, downloaded the latest Proton GE-9.2, changed the launcher command to: %command% --skip-launcher But nothing seems to work.

Steam shows the game is running, but it just stalls. If I click "Stop", it does not stop and I have to forcefully kill the PID.

All my other games seem to work correctly. I've been playing HellDivers 2 without any issues.

I started up flatpak steam with the terminal and copied the log, Flatpak Steam Terminal Log hopefully someone can track down what the issue is. I noticed there are a few shared object files that cannot be found, not sure if this has always been the case or if thats new.

Any help would be appreciated.

C&C: "Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge" and "Tiberian Sun"s multiplayer ports added to Luxtorpeda for Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 13:48

Context 1:

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a real-time strategy video game which was released for Microsoft Windows on October 24, 2000 as the follow-up to Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Red Alert 2 picks up at the conclusion of the Allied campaign of the first game. Its expansion pack is Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge, released a year later in 2001.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains two playable factions, the Soviets and the Allies, which both previously appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The single player campaign is structured in an alternate-ending mode as opposed to a progressive story mode. Like its predecessor, Red Alert 2 features a large amount of full motion video cutscenes between missions and during gameplay, with an ensemble cast including Ray Wise, Udo Kier, Kari Wuhrer, and Barry Corbin.

.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is a 1999 real-time strategy video game developed by Westwood Studios, published by Electronic Arts, and released exclusively for Microsoft Windows in August 1999. The game is the sequel to the 1995 game Command & Conquer. It featured new semi-3D graphics, a more futuristic sci-fi setting, and new gameplay features such as vehicles capable of hovering or burrowing. The main story of the game focuses on a second war between the UN-backed Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the cult-like Brotherhood of Nod, both seeking to rule over an Earth which is undergoing rapid ecological collapse.

Context 2:

[Luxtorpeda is a] Steam Play compatibility tool to run games using native Linux engines.

Metro: Last Light - Frame drops after death

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 11:49

I'm running last light through proton (note, not redux, complete edition) so I could pick up my game saves from windows and also for better graphics options and higher frame rate, the game's been running flawlessly at 120FPS the entire time, until I die, I'm in the level "seperation" and trying to sneak through without killing anyone, every time I've died the game reloads and runs at 10FPS, quitting and continuing changes nothing, restarting the game changes nothing, the only way to get the FPS back is to restart the level from chapter select.

I can see this getting frustrating. The game is running the same as if I were to turn on PhysX, which is off for obvious reasons.

PC specs below:

i7 6700K
32Gb RAM
GTX1070OC
Game installed on M.2 with ext4 partition.

Cheers, I've only started playing games on linux, I'm loving how well it's working, I expected teething issues, so no worries.

Tale of Two Wastelands installs super slow on Linux with Wine but installs quickly/normally on the same PC in a Windows 11 VM. Why is that?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 11:14

Hey guys,

So recently I decided to install TTW on my Linux install. I've noticed that the installer took ages to make progress using just Wine or Proton on Arch Linux with a 5800x. 2 hours in and the progress barely moved.

I decided to try it on a VM since I had a Windows 11 VM ready and the progress was a lot faster. In about 15min the progress bar was further than my bare-metal install which ran for 2hrs.

So my question is does anyone know why that is? I would assume that the installer in the VM would be slower since I only passed through 6 cores. Total CPU utilization from Linux is also lower when using the VM install method.

I'm just curious to understand why there's such a difference, or is it just my machine/install? I mean wine handles multi-threaded games amazingly well so I thought running an installer would be child's play.

Edit: Total runtime for completion on the VM was 1.5 hours. Didn't finish the bare-metal as I suspected that would take the whole day

Steam/Holo/ChimeraOS on Tuxedo?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 10:48

Has anyone successfully installed a gaming OS on a Tuxedo Laptop like the Sirius? Are there driver issues or performance differences? Is TuxedoOS the best choice for a Tuxedo Laptop for hardware compatibility? I wonder if its better to buy one without an OS and install a different distro. Thx!

sudo wine (rookie mistake) possible dangers?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 09:57

Hi,

I needed to install some windows dependencies to one of my game prefixes, but I kept getting problems to install them. I was getting errors regarding about not having permissions.

I decided write in terminal "sudo wine (prefix location) winetricks." Everything went fine but I did notice that there was a message about using sudo wine is not recommend.

All and all I didn't realize but I wrote a wrong path to my prefix folder, what I mean is that I didn't point it to my game prefix folder but instead I created one in my root folder. I actually didn't need to write sudo wine at all, I just simply messed up my path.

To the main point, now since I made a new prefix in my root folder with "sudo wine", I read that there are security dangers to my system. I quickly removed the prefix folder with "sudo rm -rf path/to/prefix". The prefix folder is now removed, but now I wonder if I have exposed my system to potential dangers now.

I removed the folder pretty much in the next couple of minutes after making it.

(follow up post) Getting there! Resident evil 4 remake still no longer working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 07:46

This is a followup post to a post i made yesterday going into detail about resident evil 4 remake being unplayable on linux, turns out (thanks to reddit comments) that the game was simply not launching to denuvo. Since then i've waited for denuvo to unblock me after 24 hours and attempted to play the game again. Unfortunately this time it's not denuvo, the capcom crash reporter is showing itself to be quite a pain and wont let me play the game, everytime i try to open the game it throws me a "Error code 0x2000000" and crashes, it does provide logs, one of which i will attach to this post but they are essentially worthless and provide no meaningful information. because of denuvo troubleshooting this is very difficult as opening the game more than 4 - 6 times a day to try a new troubleshooting step causes it to lock me out for another 24 hours (how is this even legal?) any help is appreciated

Managing Regional Connectivity in P2P Games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 07:17

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

I've been playing Elden Ring lately and encountered the usual fromsoft lagging however in the wiki it's mentioned that even if you prevents cross regional connetion you will still be connected to the whole world except japan(PC only). I'm looking for a way to have more control over this aspect — specifically, is there a method or software that could allow me to include or selectively exclude regions in my connectivity options?

Has anyone managed to tweak or configure their network settings to address this, or are there any tools that could help with specifying network regions for P2P games like Elden Ring on Linux?

Appreciate any advice or insights you might have!

General win2lin guide?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 06:40

Any general guides and warnings for moving from win11 to Ubuntu for a desktop gaming rig? Bonus points if gamedev is also mentioned.

Like use Proton instead of Steam? I heard Nvidia drivers are a pain to update? Etc.

LINUX/Minecraft Missing World/Android Port

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 05:07

So, maybe someone here can help.

I have ubuntu Linux. I hate using keyboard and mouse for Java, so I found a way to get Bedrock on ubuntu, but its the android version that I got from fithub or something like that.

Anyways, it works pretty well, and few technical difficulties here and there that keep popping up with probably the port from android to linux, but other wise decent.

I was playing on my world, had to go do something, so I closed the lid of my laptop, and walked away for a minute. When I came back I opened the lid, and the entire system was frozen. Which is a problem I'm running into with Ubuntu and when I close the lid of my laptop. Instead of it hibernating, it's just causes the system to freeze and I have to force shut down and reboot.

Well, upon rebooting, and getting minecraft up and working again, I'm presented to the Main menu with a message saying something about my world is missing. My world is no longer there, and asked me to search for it. But another issue with the software is it doesn't allow me to search for it. Stupid. I assume it's a bug with the android port. Because I click the button to search but it doesn't do anything.

Anyways, I've found my worlds folder. I've got 3 worlds, including the one that Minecraft can't seem to find.

I've looked at all 3 worlds and all of them seem to have the same files, except Two files.

Files are: level.dat and level.dat_old

The other two worlds shows both files with a picture image, and is structured as something called a PCX image. Where as the one that's missing shows both files as text documents. When I try to open them nothing shows in the text. So I assume that the other two worlds are working because their two files are pcx and the missing world two files is text.

So I assume that's why it's missing. But the main question I have is, if that is causing the world to be "Missing" What caused the two files to change from a PCX to Text file. Obviously the system freezing up more than likely caused this, but I would assume it might try to corrupt the two files, not change their structure entirely.

So does anyone know anything about this? I'm new to linux, and obviously this android port has issues, and so does my ubuntu OS. But just curious if there might be a way to save this world or not.

I did try to covert the txt files to PCX, but when the process was complete it gave me a error and said nothing was in it. So I assume I've lost it. But just curious if anyone might know something here.

Get Elden Ring working on Arch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 05:00

I've tried installing the EAC Runtime, but Elden Ring's compatibility won't let me force it. I'm using the Steam Flatpak on Arch. I also don't see an option under Steam compatibility settings to force titles to run with EAC runtime.

Trying to get a game to work from gog via lutris

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. April 2024 - 02:53

Okay so I’m feeling defeated, I hate asking for help but here I am. So Im trying to get a game “mortal shell” to run from my gog account through lutris. I sign into gog through lutris without issue. I can see my games on gog. I click on mortal shell to download. I make sure the runner “wine” is installed. The game installs then i click play and it throws an error”runtimerror: no path can be generated for DXVK because no version information is available”. I’ve been trying to work through this all week. Ive looked on lutris website, forums and searched online for this error and i don’t see anyone posting a solution to this. I’ve watch quite a few YouTube videos on how to set up lutris but i dont see what im missing. Could someone point me in the right direction? If it matters, Arch with plasma installed the arch way, AMD 7950, gpu is a 7900xtx.
