So the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta cards were dropped from support a few months ago, and that happening has made be concerned it may happen for Turing as well in a few years. Anyone know if there are any official plans for this, or at least predictions?

Hey people, didn't get a chance to make a proper April Fools post this year, so I just wanted to say happy April Fools - the most underrated, yet best holiday!

Maybe this will put some posts you've seen today into context, in case you haven't realized the date yet haha

Hey everyone! After a LOT of trial and error, I managed to get AFK Journey: Homestead running on CachyOS with my GTX 1650 SUPER. I'm posting this so nobody else has to go through what I did. This guide is focused on CachyOS but should work on most Arch-based distros.

My specs:

• OS: CachyOS x86_64
• CPU: Intel i5-12400F
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 SUPER
• RAM: 32GB
• DE: KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland

What DOESN'T work:

• Lutris/Wine method — the Farlight launcher uses coremessaging.dll which Wine doesn't implement, causing an instant crash
• Waydroid — had persistent issues with NVIDIA + Wayland
• Native Linux client — doesn't exist

What WORKS: Running the Windows client through Steam + DW-Proton.

Step 1 — Install Steam and DW-Proton

Make sure Steam is installed:

sudo pacman -S steam

Then install ProtonPlus to manage Proton versions:

yay -S protonplus

Open ProtonPlus and install DW-Proton Latest.

Step 2 — Download the Farlight Launcher installer

Go to the official AFK Journey website and download the Windows PC client installer (afkjourneysetup_*.exe).

Step 3 — Create a launch script

Create a folder for the game files:

mkdir ~/Games

Create the launch script:

nano ~/Games/afkjourney-launch.sh

Paste this in:

#!/bin/bash DISPLAY=:0 WAYLAND_DISPLAY= STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2763624251 STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINEDEBUG=-all ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/DW-Proton\ Latest/proton run "/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2763624251/pfx/drive_c/Farlight Launcher/Launcher.exe"

Replace `YOUR_USERNAME` with your actual username. Save with `Ctrl+O` then `Ctrl+X`.

Make it executable using

chmod +x ~/Games/afkjourney-launch.sh

Step 4 — Add to Steam as a non-Steam game

• Open Steam
• Click Games → Add a Non-Steam Game
• Browse to ~/Games/afkjourney-launch.sh
• Right click the game in Steam → Properties
• Set Start In to ~/Games/
• Under Compatibility, force DW-Proton Latest
• Add this to Launch Options: LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 %command%

Step 5 — First launch and installation

Launch the game through Steam. The Farlight Launcher will open and you can download AFK Journey from there. Wait for it to fully download and install, then hit Play.

⚠️ The Black Screen Warning — READ THIS

This is the most important part of this guide. The game uses an embedded CEF browser (basically a mini Chromium) for certain UI elements like the login screen and User Center. This CEF browser cannot initialize GPU rendering under Wine/Proton, so it shows as a completely black screen.

This is normal. The buttons are still there and clickable even though you can't see them.

⚠️ First Boot — Another Black Screen (5/14 Installation)

When you launch the game for the very first time, it will go through an installation/loading process. Around the 5/14 step it will hit another black screen — this is the Terms of Service and account setup screen, also rendered by the CEF browser.

Don't panic, this is normal.

You have two options here:

Option A — Continue as Guest (easier): Just click somewhere in the lower center of the black screen to accept the terms and continue as a guest. The game will finish loading and you can switch to your real account later following Step 6.

Option B — Log in at this step: You can also try to log into your real account directly at this screen by blindly navigating the login form (same process as Step 6). This skips the guest account step entirely but requires more blind clicking confidence.

Step 6 — Logging into your account (blind clicking guide)

When you first launch the game it will log you in as a guest. To switch to your real account:

1. Click the Account button on the right side of the screen
2. A black popup will appear — this is the User Center. Click near the bottom center of it (this is the "Switch Accounts" button)
3. Another black popup appears — click the upper center area (this is the red confirm button)
4. A login screen appears (still black). Click roughly in the upper middle area to focus the email input field and type your email
5. Click slightly to the right of center below the email field — this is the "Get Code" button
6. Check your email — the verification code WILL be sent even though you can't see the form!
7. Click the center of the black area below where you typed your email — this is the verification code input field. Type your code.
8. Click the large button in the lower center — this is "Login Now"
9. The game will restart and you'll be logged into your account! 🎉

It takes a bit of patience but it works. The key insight is that even though the screen is black, all the buttons are fully functional.

Performance

Once logged in the game runs great! I'm getting around 300fps on a GTX 1650 SUPER at 1080p. No crashes, no visual glitches in the actual game.

Troubleshooting

• Farlight Launcher opens but game doesn't install — Make sure your launch script path is correct and DW-Proton is properly installed
• Game crashes immediately — Try removing LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 from launch options
• Verification code never arrives — Wait a minute and try clicking "Get Code" again. It does work, just sometimes slow.
• Game won't launch after logging in — Try restarting Steam and launching again

Im also putting some screenshots of the screens that will appear on step 6 (And the warning before it), so you could guide yourself in the vast darkness! (They are in portuguese because im Brazilian, dont mind it, follow step 6 keeping in mind the images)

Hope this helps someone, and if it does, consider giving this post an upvote!

I use a controller in my left hand (can't do keyboard) and a mouse in my right hand...worked fine on windows and if i ran into problems I used REWASD and all was well. I am now on Fedora 43 and am having trouble getting this to work. I have used input remapper but it wasn't mapping properly, but had success with AniMicroX and now can see that my controller is mapped properly...the problem is when i go in game (.e.g Combat Master via Steam) it still recognizes the controller as a controller instead of the mapped keys on keyboard. This makes it glitch out and I can't do anything since it is constantly switching from keyboard to controller. Any known workarounds or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Linux (Proton) Guide. 1: download and extract the .exe 2: in the bottom left corner of Steam select "Add a Game" 3: select "Add a Non-Steam Game" 4: navigate to your extracted .exe and add it 5: select the mod manager in steam, right-click, and select properties 6: in the compatibility tab, select a proton version that works; any new 10.0 should be fine. I am using the latest cachyos-slr 7: run the json mod manager through Steam. 8: navigate to your game folder in the mod manager. To do this, use the "Z" folder in the file structure, then navigate as normal through there. 9: select the first game folder, not any of the subfolders or the game .exe 10: now you can just drag and drop files as normal into the JSON mod manager and activate them.

Launch the game through Steam, NOT through the mod manager so you are running it in its own proton instance.

Since my last post here I've added a lot of new features and game support.

If you didn't see the last post or haven't heard of this, Amethyst is a native linux mod manager that aims to be a hybrid of Mo2 and Vortex.

Some of the new features since the last post include:

• You can now install Nexus collections, The entire process is automated if you are a premium member but can also be done as a free user.
• Added handling for Ue5's folder structure including Oblivion Remastered
• Added support for RE engine games including archive invalidation
• A lot more games added, there's 49 total
• Ability to add custom games
• Greatly optimised the deploy speed. It's around 5x faster than the first version I posted.
• A lot of UI improvements
• Ability to create and edit a userlist.yaml file within the manager itself (Used by Loot)
• Now on AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amethyst-mod-manager, Not maintained by me but is updated often

There's a lot more stuff added but these are the main ones.

You can download it here on github. There's a wiki with more infomation there too which I'll try to improve at some point.

And on Nexus too

Thanks to everyone who has tried it already and found any issues.

pretty much what's in the title. I'm playing RE4 Remake, and my game usually gets 70-80fps in my current settings. Since i only have a 60hz monitor, i locked the framerate to 60fps to get better frametimes and less stress on my weak cpu.

But the problem is, even though is a stable 60fps, stable frametime and good 1%Low(45fps), my game feels somehow laggy and kinda stuttery. Not a big deal, but it's kinda annoying ngl.

Everything has been great, almost everything runs without problems until about a week ago.

Elden Ring/Nightreign won't even work, both freeze once you get into a game.

Games that worked great with these launch args to get HDR no longer will run unless I remove them.

PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-4 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamemoderun %command%

I run Proton EM, and I haven't updated it in almost a month, so I know it isn't because of a new version. I believe my nvidia drivers have updated since then.

Games that worked fine for a year or more, no longer work.

I play pretty much everything through Steam using proton EM, I also tried switching to Proton GE latest and Proton Experimental, doesn't seem to make a difference. I can't think of anything I changed on my end.

This is Little Richard The preacher, This is something so different from the rest of his work that it could only be at the very center and heart of his work or it would have died in him long ago.

Enjoy, I could not give better advice than Little Richard offers us if I tried.

Linux is an important way to maintain your privacy. I have many concerns about anti-cheat going forward. I made a little video about it
