I've had kenshi for a long time and been playing it on and off. Few months ago I got couple other games that I play regularly but didn't have much space on my SSD, so i move some games to my 1TB HDD since those games are more demanding and actually do require SSD to run. Kenshi being one of the games i don't play often was one of the ones that i moved.

I been feeling some nostalgia lately and wanted to hop on Kenshi. My issue is that the game won't even launch. I can understand for a game like BG3 to not run because it is stated that SSD required, but Kenshi? This game can run on a potato PC. Furthermore, I have Genshin Impact installed on the same HDD and it runs fine, loading screen time is treacherous but it actually plays.

I've used the commands from ProtonDB site and tweaks for Kenshi but game simply won't. Is HDD really not supported or there's some tweak I'm missing?

Edit: Will format the HDD to a linux friendly filesystem format. Was not aware of the impact of filesystem format. Thanks for the assistance.

I saw a post here that recommended input-remapper, but I am not able to understand how to properly use it, and it doesn't look like it was ment for this type of usage. Is there any other software that I can use for Roblox afk Macro on Linux?

Hi,

Found a good deal for the following laptop, it's a Thunderobot Radiant 15 (i7 13650HX, RTX 4060). I believe it is based of some variant of Clevo which is a well known OEM. It uses an app that is called Control Center for Windows, that is used for things like changing power modes (Quiet, Entertainment, Performance).

From my experience with other gaming laptops (Like Acer and their Nitrosense), these settings can really affect performance, some of them even cap the power limits of the GPU, and i am afraid that with no Linux version i will be stuck on a mode where the hardware is limited. There is a chance that the software is just a rebrand of the Clevo Control Center, but i can't know for sure.

Any suggestions? I know some would say to get a known brand laptop instead, but the deal i found locally is hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything remotely similar.

Just wanted to share this since I thought it was really neat. At least in Proton GE, you can add shorthands for your ENV vars for proton to clean up your launch commands.

So instead of:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1

You could instead just use:

PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=wayland,hdr,dlsshud,dlss

The full list of shorthands that I know of are found here

can any one help me to conect my joystek in linux ??

In case someone else runs into the same problem as me, I'll post what fixed it for me.

I live in Australia, but for some reason I was forced into the North America region in this game. From what I can tell, this game determines your matchmaking region based on what region you've set yourself in the control panel in windows. This doesn't seem to do that based on the region you've set on Linux. I've done some frantic searching through various Wine and Proton forums, and this is what I've found worked for me on Ubuntu 24.04

In launch options, i typed

HOST_LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8 %command%

Substitute in your own locale/language code. I have to guess that proton defaults to en_US which was why it was putting me in north america. I don't know if this will work for people who want to play in a language that isn't an official one of their country, but I hope that this will at least help english speakers outside of North America.

edit: formatting fix soz

I've tried bazzite but I don't like that the filesystem is locked down. Or at least root is.

I have quite of a bit of Linux experience, with most of it being with Debian or ubuntu based distros that use apt but others are fine as well. Never too late to learn to use pacman better.

What's important for me is that the controller, buttons, and track pad are all supported out of the box or easy to set up. I would rather spend my time tweaking things I enjoy messing with. If it just take a piece of software or something though that's fine as well.

I'm curious about cachyos, nobara, or even PopOS. It sounds like cachyos is the best option, but I'd like to know what the other distros are like before committing.

Just got nobara installed and it’s working great. Only issue is that when red dead 2 is loaded. The entire game acts right until I actually load in. I get an average of 5-7 fps and my gpu (rx 6600xt) ran the game fine on Windows. I switched between proton experimental and 8.0 (I think?) and there was no change whatsoever

What are some of the best podcasts for Linux gaming? Ideally with news and commentary on developments in new hardware/software. Nerdy is good too!

Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.65-2-cachyos-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 28 × Intel® Core™ i7-14700HX Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Graphics Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU Manufacturer: ADATA Product Name: XENIAG15I7G14HX4070LX

I've tried X11, manually forcing the GPU to run, overriding defaults, making configuration files, backups, and even desperately using ChatGPT. Nothing I tried has worked and my GPU has been sitting at 0% utilization. I tried using prime, bios, and other methods which would take too long to list on here.

I am new to CachyOS and Linux in general so any help will be appreciated and frankly, needed. Thanks.

If you get this error, since i've been trying to look at it for ages and no one seems to have mentioned this issue, which is a shame considering both me and my boyfriend had the exact same issue.

TKG is the issue, if you use TKG, use experiential or proton GE and be sure to restart your steam it'll download another 2gbs on the second go, but thats pretty standard for rivals I hope this helps.

Alright so I got some issues with:
https://github.com/Taboulet/SoberLauncher/releases/tag/V1.5

and

https://github.com/evanovar/RobloxAccountManagerLinux

So for whatever reason I followed all the steps but when I get to the program it doesn't open Sober and I'm completely lost as to why even after I create a profile

[INFO] Launching Sober with profile: "My Roblox Username"
[SUCCESS] Sober launched with profile: "My Roblox Username"

Then when I kill the processes I get: error: org.vinegarhq.Sober is not running

and I don't understand how the profile system is supposed to work like when I make a profile am I supposed to log into something or what?

Without any of these options the game compiles the shaders from ground zero every time i launch the game. I am assuming the "__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1" option is the one that is supposed to fix this issue. But the problem is that every now and then whenever i launch the game it starts to compile the shaders from ground zero again. I've heard that it might be because of the gpu driver updates, so i black listed the drivers from updating. But this issue still occurs. This thing have been concurrent for a long time. I have formatted my system several times since then. But still the same issue. Any help ?

I'm sorry I'm very tired today, so I can't exactly explain the problem trough words (Sc1 performance leak or smth)

This problem is not too much important because any normal person would just save and close the game

Please help me understand where does this problem come?

Thank you in advance for help
