ETS2 problems

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2024 - 11:35

So I'm trying to play ETS2 on my Mac pro. The MacOS port is a bit shoddy (broken textures on the newer DAF Lorries is the main one) and I also happen to have fedora 39 on the machine also. What happens is on a clean install of the game, I can only see the top left side of the game window. I tried using proton to run the windows version but that also doesn't work. I've seen this before on other machines with different GPUs so I'm starting to wonder if it's a bug with the game.

Machine specs:

MacPro5,1

Xeon x5675 6x3.06Ghz

32gb DDR3 1066Mhz

Asus RX470 4GB

Booted off a Sata SSD, game installed on HDD

Fedora 39, kernel 6.8, Mesa 23.3.6

ETS2 and ATS are the only games with this problem. Any help is appreciated. The other machines had Nvidia GPUs.

I gave up.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2024 - 08:53

I'm using Linux as daily drive for 1 year and since I started I've been trying to play Multi Theft Auto. It just feels impossible at this point. I have GTA SA on Rockstar Games Launcher.

When I installed the launcher via Lutris (from pacman) the game just doesn't start.

When I installed it via Flatpak Lutris, the game runs but my mouse working only on menu, not in game. I didn't care and tried to install MTA and it asks me for a "setup.exe" file I don't know what it is (not the MTA installer exe).

When I tried with Flatpak Bottles, the exe file of the launcher is not starting.

When I tried with AUR Bottles, exe is starting but it gives error.

Not only MTA, but also GTA SA is not playable. I don't know if it's because of Rockstar Games Launcher, Wine, whatever. I gave up (not from Linux, from the trying to make a game work).

Full Modding Guide for Bethesda RPG's?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2024 - 07:47

I've been gaming on Linux now for nearly two years. I've got a main Linux desktop and now a Steam Deck handheld. I've found I can do ALMOST everything I can on windows with gaming, and some of my favourite games even have better performance.

However modding, specifically with a script extender exe, has presented a big of a problem. All the guides I've found work great UNTIL I need SKSE or FOSE. If anyone knows a full guide that includes how to run a script extender I'd be very greatful for completing my Linux gaming experience.

TLDR: Need a Linux modding guide that includes running a Script Extender

Helldivers 2 AC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. April 2024 - 07:09

I have noticed quite a few people cheating and hacking in helldivers lobbies, and I know that the games devs will look into stopping that cheating with anti cheats. But what are the odds that the ac blocks linux compatibility?

I know it may not happen, but I'm worried because I do like this game.
