Nvidia resizeable BAR blocked by another BAR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 2:07pm

In short, I have a 3090 for which lspci -vvs shows:

Capabilities: [bb0 v1] Physical Resizable BAR BAR 0: current size: 16MB, supported: 16MB BAR 1: current size: 256MB, supported: 64MB 128MB 256MB 512MB 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB BAR 3: current size: 32MB, supported: 32MB

But dmesg reveals:

[ 0.513474] pci 0000:08:00.0: BAR 1 [mem 0x6000000000-0x600fffffff 64bit pref]: assigned [ 0.513520] pci 0000:08:00.0: BAR 3 [mem 0x6010000000-0x6011ffffff 64bit pref]: assigned [ 0.513543] pci 0000:08:00.0: BAR 0 [mem 0xa4000000-0xa4ffffff]: assigned

In short, BAR 1 may be resizable, but BAR 3 is blocking it.

This on a laptop (Lenovo P53) with i7-9850H and CM246 chipset. GPU is attached via TB3.

kernel command-line contains:

pci=assign-busses,realloc

Is there currently any way to convince the kernel to set aside 32GB address space for BAR 1 on boot? Or remap BAR 1 or 3 to somewhere else?

Anyone tried frostpunk 2 beta?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 1:34pm

Hey guys, i tried frostpunk 2 beta yesterday. The game is running fine with proton at the moment but i am facing another problem. Whenever i exit the game, my monitor freaks out. The refresh rate drops and i can see screen fades to black very quickly, like flickering on old screens. I have to unplug all my cables including psu and restart my PC to solve it. What is causing this problem? The game, wayland, Mesa or proton? Have you experienced something similar with same or different games?

System Info: Archlinux, kernel 6.8 Mesa 24 AMD 6700xt gpu Proton (i think it was experimental version when i first launched the game) Swaywm 1.9

Linux gaming is as simple as enabling steam play, right?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 11:55am

I've migrated to Zorin from Windows and had all my games on a few NTFS drives. I installed steam (native) via CLI and tried running some games after re-engaging my old libraries. Literally not a single non-linux game runs. I hit play, shaders try to compile and the button turns blue indicating that the games are trying to launch, but nothing happens. The Play button returns to green. I press it and the same thing happens. I read some places that NTFS is a problem, so I tested a basic game "Tomb Raider Legend" on my primary drive formatted as ext4. Same issue.

Is there something I'm missing?

How do you know which dependencies to install with Bottles?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 10:31am

I've been trying to run games such as Kingdom Hearts 3 through bottles, but I got to the point where I need to install dependencies and I can't find anywhere a list of which are needed. At all.

It's like every single person talking about Bottles online assumes everyone else already knows every single dependencies every single program needs.

So... how do you find out which dependencies you need? Where do you have to look?

Discussion: Why not make anti-cheat optional?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 8:57am

IIRC there were a few games that had optional anti-cheat, which would separate gamers into two lobbies: Those with anti-cheat, and those without.

Personally I think this is a good solution: If gamers don't mind installing kernel-level drivers to have a pleasant gaming experience, then they're satisfied. If gamers would rather not use anti-cheat (at the obvious cost of cheaters), they're also satisfied.

What would be the downfalls of this approach? The biggest one that comes to mind is segregating the userbase, leading to less concurrent online users available to lobbies.
