I would like to try out Bazzite (normally I run Nobara), but in order to use my GoXLR, i need to install a package from https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-utility . On Nobara I can install with Discovery, but as Bazzite is Immutable, this isnt allowed as it fails. Is this not possible or can someone walk me through the steps?

Horizon: Zero Dawn doesn't run with recent Proton and Nvidia drivers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 2:27pm

Hi fellow Linux gamers,

I recently wanted to try H:ZD - I have a 4090 using proprietary drivers 550.78 and I'm only able to run it with Proton 7 series - I can't seem to get it working with official Proton nor GE 8 nor 9 - all I get is an issue w.r.t. not being able to initialize the game and send an error report to Geurilla games.

If I use Proton 7 it works ok - (but given the age of VKd3d there are some artifacts).

Is anyone able to run it with recent Nvidia drivers and recent Proton?

Thanks!

The Debian Discord Community just came back online!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 2:12pm

For those that used to be in Debian Den before it got deleted, there is a new server under different management at https://discord.gg/debian

They've been very helpful and even though Discord isn't a FOSS platform, I think its nevertheless a great place to introduce younger individuals in particular to the world of Linux.

Start game using internal gpu instead of dedicated gpu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 1:41pm

Usually I read about this the other way round. But I would like to start a game using the internal gpu instead of the dedicated gpu.

Lutris always starts games using the dedicated gpu in my case.

How can I change this? I only need it for a single specific game, so if there is a non-global setting that would be enough :)

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.

My internal GPU is intel i3 10100 (intel uhd graphics). my external is nvidia gtx 1060 (3gb)

Xim and steam input?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 11:27am

I was looking for a controller that could approximate the steam deck controls and the closest i found was the xim nexus. Does anyone here use one and are the extra back buttons, face buttons, and gyroscope mappable via steam input?

I made a little script to update Proton-GE to use with Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 10:53am

Hello there!

I just thought I would share this little script I made. It checks the compatibilitytools.d Steam directory for existing Proton-GE files and compares it with the latest version on Glorious Eggroll's repo, if the latest version is missing, it will download it, check the checksum and extract the files to the pre-defined compatibilitytools.d directory. After a Steam restart, you will be able to select the new Proton-GE version from the global or per-game compatibility settings.

I'm not a programmer so this script is very primitive. I know there are more complete tools out there that can achieve more things, but maybe someone else out there like me only care about this very simple use case. Anyway, that was just a little fun project for me to do and I figured I might as well share it.

The script assumes that you have installed Steam through flatpak and that the ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/ directory exists. You might have to create the compatibilitytools.d directory if you never added a third party Proton/Wine to your Steam install.

You can edit the steamdir variable if your Steam install is located elsewhere.

#!/bin/sh # latest=$(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/latest) version=${latest##*/} steamdir=~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/ url="https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/download/$version/$version" update_proton () { echo "New version found!" echo "Release notes for $version https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/latest" echo "Downloading latest version..." tmpdir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/ge-update.XXXXXXXXXXXX) cd $tmpdir $(wget -q $url.sha512sum) $(wget -q --show-progress $url.tar.gz) echo "Verifying checksum" checksum=$(sha512sum -c $version.sha512sum | awk 'NF{print $NF; exit}') if [ "$checksum" = "OK" ]; then echo "Extracting..." $(tar -xf $version.tar.gz -C $steamdir) $(rm -rf $tmpdir) echo "Update completed" else echo "Update failed" $(rm -rf $tmpdir) fi } if [ "$version" == $(ls $steamdir | tail -n1) ]; then echo "$version is the latest version and is already installed." else update_proton fi

You only have to execute the script. There are not options/flags. If you already have the latest version, it will let you know. If there's an update, it will print the github link so you can read the changelog while it downloads.

Linux gaming input latency is really bad.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 10:06am

I've noticed that in some games I'm getting a small amount of input latency when playing a game. Feels like I'm slightly off when aiming. Dead by daylight is probably the game where it's most noticeable. I'm getting basically exactly the same performance I am in windows though, so I don't know why it would be any different. The screen feels jittery too I don't know if it's vsync but screen tearing hasn't ever felt this bad.

Anyone know a fix for this? I could just be experiencing it because my hardware being nvidia. I just really like linux and this really isn't a dealbreaker I'll probably just continue to dual boot. Could it be possible that games are using my desktop sensitivity which feels slightly slower than my windows sensitivity?

Are shaders also caching on the fly? Do I just need to play the game more?

How does linux achieve GPU switching despite not having a MUX switch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 9:27am

I posted some weeks ago abt how I was seeing a massive FPS increase on Minecraft on my XPS 15 7590, using the GTX 1650 despite my laptop lacking a MUX switch on Kubuntu 22.04. Im wondering how does GPU switching on Linux works when the display of my laptop is physically connected to the integrated graphics?

Any experience running XNA under Wine / Proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 9:10am

So, I've finally taken the plunge to daily driving Linux after the recent news with NVIDIA and Wayland making some progress in May and June.

One issue I'm facing is an application I use under Windows seems not to work under Wine.

The application is Terrawell DesignDoll, which is used for creating reference poses for art, it's written using C# and specifically XNA (not natively using FNA).

When launching it I receive the following:

https://preview.redd.it/elvz2dzl46xc1.png?width=372&format=png&auto=webp&s=e90f21fa595c511b516c743975d8e694ed77b96b

I've been trying to use Bottles to get this to run and have attempted under:

  • Soda
  • Caffe
  • Proton GE
  • Wine GE

I've also installed dependencies such as .NET, XNA, etc. in previous attempts and none seem to make a difference or if they do it makes things generally worse.

I've done some digging and it seems most of these runners embed Wine Mono which replaces XNA with FNA and if the game is "compatible" it should just run.

I've attempted various fixes suggested online when receiving a similar message, such as using WINE_MONO_OVERRIDES to disable loading FNA, using Wine3D instead of DXVK, etc. and none seem to really give me a result.

I'm fairly certain at this point its just simply incompatible, but I know various XNA games and applications run under Proton through Steam without any native FNA support.

Only thing I could find anywhere on this similar error was the following: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6332

Anyone have any experience getting something similar to run under Bottles or other Wine runners?

Star Trek Online not working with gt730

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 5:16am

I've been trying to run Star Trek Online on my desktop (EndeavourOS, gt730, i5-7600) but I keep getting the message "Support for the Video Card you are using has ended...upgrade your Video Card to one that supports DirectX Hardware Feature Level 11.0 or higher;"

According to the steam page the minimum GPU requirements are 4xx while mine is 7xx. I've tried running with proton experimental but if anyone knows any flags that could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Playing games through the virtual console (ctrl + alt + 1 - 6 )?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28 Apr 2024 - 5:13am

Like normal games, that is? I can boot up Sauerbraten, but get no processed input at all and need to alt + prtinScrn + REIB to reboot. I'm trying to make my own games so that you can get a more DOS-like feel to gaming, like Cat3D, the original Wolf3D and/or Doom. I would really like the idea of being able to launch games from a virtual terminal. Note: I am not talking about from within a GUI Desktop Environment. I do use Gnome, but I am only referring to the virtual terminals accessed by ctrl + alt + 1-6/7-12, though I've heard the latter ones are used differently. I use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
