Can't get Forza Horizon 5 To Work - Fedora 40 KDE Spin (on X11), Nvidia RTX 2060

12 May 2024 - 8:41pm

The game launches but can't really get past the intro video which is flickering until it crashes eventually.

Tried various launch options and Proton versions with no luck (from protondb comments).

Anyone else with this issue?

Apex Legends is NOT working

12 May 2024 - 7:55pm

Before I start my little rant and request, I would like to say that I am not a programmer, my brother convinced me to download linux and he did most of it for me.

After Apex Legends had quite a large update as well as me updating my OS (Endevour), through the eos-update thing, Apex is no longer launching. I use steam and once I press the big juicy green PLAY button, Apex Legends says its launching, then says its running and then goes back to the green PLAY button and doesnt launch shit. I have tried a couple of things I saw online: one individual used the bleeding edge version of proton experimental and that seemed to help him, I've checked that I am on the correct drivers (545.29.02), I have even completely uninstalled and reinstalled Apex Legends (which took hours) just in case it was a problem with some faulty file, however nothing I have done has worked.

I am considering uninstalling linux and going back to Windows since it is much more convenient and I consistently run into problems which I do not know how to fix, where I end up nagging my brother to come and help me fix it.
If you have reached this, thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you consider pouring your knowledge into the comments if you have any idea on how to fix my problem. Thank you.

Slow download on steam?

12 May 2024 - 7:28pm

Hi y'all, my download speed on steam seems to be much slower than my real download speed. Running a speed test shows my download speed is around 940mbps, however steam seems to be stuck at around 120 or so. I found this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/16e1l4h/slow_steam_downloads_try_this/

and it seemed to alleviate the issue a bit. Disabling http2 seems to bring it up to around 680-750 which im ok with, the other config option brings it down to 400-500 so im not suing that one. I can't really seem to find a ton of info about this issue though, is this a known bug? is this something wrong with my config? some googling said to try disabling ipv6 or using dnsmasq but neither of those had an impact.

fedora 40, kernel 6.8.8. Result of lspci | grep -i Ethernet:

workaround for primary xwayland screen name switching

12 May 2024 - 6:20pm

So i have the problem that my screen names in xwayland are switching a lot like on sleep mode and so on.

since i have a multi monitor setup and of one wide and one horizontal screen i can use the resolution to determine the correct primary screen.

https://git.bau-ha.us/nachtpfoetchen/dromi_dotfiles/-/blob/main/scripts/x_prime.sh?ref_type=heads

fixes that for me on debian stable with KDE. idk if thats an issue on other distribution.

Setting that as a script running before the game in lutris just makes it super comfy to use.

If you want it to use for your own setup make sure that get_wide_screen function returns the correct XWayland name of the screen that you want to set as primary screen. e.g. XWAYLAND0

TF2 on Linux with Integrated graphics, please help

12 May 2024 - 5:56pm

I wanna play TF2 just like in old times. I currently have a Dell laptop with integrated graphics, around 2 gb Video memory, 32 RAM, and when I play TF2 (I have a biometrics of PC with CPU load and CPU temperature), it shows that the CPU is utilized only for 20 percent. Why is that? And TF2 is unplayable, I get 20 FPS while CPU temperature never gets over 60 Celcius.

Ubuntu 22.04 , laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7410

Dosbox-Staging 0.81.1 Has Been Released

12 May 2024 - 3:23pm

The release fixes the following 0.81.0 regressions:

Regression fixes

Fix Wing Commander 3 videos and cutscenes appearing height-doubled.

Introduce vga_render_per_scanline = off workaround to fix the crash-at-startup regression in Deus, Ishar 3, Robinson’s Requiem, and Time Warriors.

Fix the Tandy version of Impossible Mission II crashing at startup.

Fix regression in Tyrian where pressing the arrow keys get registered twice in menus.

Fix starting In Extremis resulting in a black screen.

Fix wrong colours in Spell It Plus! (needs machine = svga_paradise).

Fix wrong colours and garbled graphics in Spong and Exobius.

Fix squashed video output in the text mode game Indenture.

Fix the DOSBox Staging window gaining focus on every emulated video mode change.

Fix crash when exiting DOSBox Staging while in fullscreen mode on macOS and Linux.

Fix not being able to disable OPL emulation with oplmode = none.

Enhancements and fixes

We’ve also backported a number of enhancements and fixes for long-standing issues:

Introduce vmem_delay = on to help with flickering graphics and speed issues in Hercules, CGA, EGA, and early VGA games. This has proven to improve compatibility with Future Wars, Operation Stealth, Quest for Glory II, Hostages, The Gold of the Aztecs, Crazy Brix, Corncob Deluxe, and Corncob 3-D so far.

Improve support for multiple joysticks/game controllers (the mapper could behave erratically if you had more than one controller connected).

Emulate a memory-expanded PCjr machine more faithfully. This improves game compatibility; for example, Space Quest (v1.0x and v2.2) and King’s Quest (1986 PCjr DOS version) now work instead of hanging the emulator.

CD Audio is no longer muted in certain parts of Time Warriors and Alpha Storm.

The batch file installer of Alpha Storm no longer fails.

Forcing single scanning via crt-auto-arcade should now work with more programs.

Fix various VGA double scanning related edge cases in demoscene productions.

Detecting “repurposed” EGA video modes with 18-bit VGA DAC colours has been made more robust when using the crt-auto shader (should result in a double-scanned VGA shader being picked).

Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations have been added, and most of the other translations have been updated.

Graphics-related changes:
  • VGA double scanning fixes & improvements

  • Option to emulate video memory access delays

  • Option for legacy VGA rendering

  • Option for legacy palette behaviour

  • Tandy graphics fixes

  • Other fixes

Sound-related changes
  • Implement seeking in MSCDEX

  • Fix not being able to disable OPL emulation

  • Other fixes:

Fixed crash when output filter cutoff frequencies are not below half the sample rate (e.g., by setting rate = 11025 and sbtype = sbpro1 which selects a 8 kHz low-pass filter by default).

Fixed FluidSynth and MT-32 crashing the emulator when the host sample rate is set to 8000 Hz.

Input-related changes

Fixed a keyboard handling regression in Tyrian where pressing the arrow keys get registered twice, making the menus very hard to use.

Fixed a keyboard handling regression in In Extremis where starting the game only resulted in a black screen.

Fixed various problems in the mapper when using more than a single game controller (e.g., with two joysticks connected, mapping the controls of the first joystick could randomly target the mappings of the second one and vice versa).

Fixed obscure regression where the timed = on joystick setting messed up the available free memory reported by the FreeDOS MEM.EXE command.

DOS integration related changes
  • Improved expanded PCjr emulation

  • DOS shell improvements:

Fixed a bug that caused the batch file installer of Alpha Storm to fail.

The help text of the IMGMOUNT command now mentions the very handy wildcard mounting option. E.g., you can use the IMGMOUNT A floppy*.img -t floppy command to mount multiple floppy images, then cycle between them with Ctrl+F4 at runtime (Cmd+F4 on macOS).

The LOADFIX command’s help text is more complete now (some options were not documented previously).

When a batch file was being instantiated, the echo state from the parent was not being transferred correctly if the parent was another batch file.

Localisation-related changes
  • Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations have been added.

  • Updates to the Dutch, German, and Polish translations.

Miscellaneous changes
  • Attempting to change unchangeable settings via the CONFIG command at runtime is no longer silently accepted (without doing anything) but an error is raised instead.

  • Unknown command-line switches starting with dashes are now ignored and a warning is logged—DOSBox Staging will not try to execute them anymore. As a side effect, the current working directory was mounted as the C drive, which led to very non-intuitive behaviour.

  • The Windows installer now creates a Start Menu shortcut to launch DOSBox Staging without showing the console window (DOSBox Staging (no console window) menu item).

  • The Windows installer no longer starts DOSBox Staging automatically when the installation is completed.

  • Most config settings are now correctly reverted to their defaults when an invalid value is set, and their values are kept in sync with the active setting.

Recommendation for ITX (am5) mainboard that works with linux

12 May 2024 - 3:08pm

Hi! I'm trying to configure an ITX PC with an AMD chip (Ryzen 5 7600X), and I need a recommendation for an ITX motherboard (AM5, with WiFi, and Bluetooth would be great too) that works fluently with Linux. I was thinking of the ASROCK A620I Lightning WiFi DDR5 AM5, but I heard it has a MediaTek WiFi card (poor support) and 2.5Gbit Realtek Ethernet.

Thank you!

Bazzite constantly crashing

12 May 2024 - 2:49pm

Hello !

I am a complete Linux newbie that made the switch to Linux from Windows yesterday. I was really tempted by the Bazzite positive buzz on the internet. I flashed a USB drive and installed the system on my 250 GB M2 SSD. I wanted to use the other 2 TB M2 SSD for games and programs but have no idea how to use it in Linux despite formatting in btrfs and creating a partition :-(.

My main problem is that the system crashes all the time when I launch Steam (the pre-installed one or the one from Discover that's a flatpak I think). Sometimes it takes a second after trying to open Steam, sometimes it takes a few minutes. Sometimes right after I click download on any game. A while ago I managed to even launch Half-Life and played for 5 minutes until the screen just went black with cursor visible and then I can't do anything.

This crashing is sometimes hard crash and reboot, sometimes it's a black screen with nothing on it or sometimes a black screen with just the cursor visible. Sorry for vague descriptions but I'm a complete Linux newbie and I'm still learning.

I've tried reinstalling the system 2 times but that didn't help. I switched to X11 (during log-in). I switched to NVK and back to Nvidia-stable but that also didn't help. Tried updating all the packages. The drivers that are pre-installed with the system are 550.78

I've spent hours just trying to use the system and learn the ropes but the constant crashing makes it unusable for now. I've had I think 20-30 crashes so far. Have had 0 crashes or BSODs under Windows so it's not a hardware issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thank you :)

Anyone able to help me with Hydro Thunder Hurricane?

12 May 2024 - 1:43pm

I'm wanting to play this game, but I am struggling to find any way to do so. I have tried Xenia through Proton, and that worked to an extent, but the result of that was less than desirable. Is there any way I can obtain and play the PC Windows Store version of the game, or no? Or is there a way I can perhaps make Xenia Canary run better? I kind of just popped it into Heroic Game Launcher and that was about it, if there are any kind of tweaks or maybe a different version I can download to help it out maybe a little bit, that would be fine too. The game runs in a playable enough state as is, just at an extremely low resolution at like 20-30fps. Like I said, playable, but not ideal. Any help at all is very appreciated!

Ready or Not crashing after selecting any mode

12 May 2024 - 12:49pm

Hi there, I'm currently running EndeavourOS and I'm having issues running the game Ready or Not. The game launches fine, I can modify the options etc, but once I want to get into the game proper(either multiplayer or singleplayer) the loading screen hangs up at 100% before the game crashes. I'm running the flatpak version of steam, but the same issue occurred on the native one. Changing the DX version doesn't help, and no matter what proton version I choose(including protonGE) the issue persists. The crash-reporter which the game has returns no info, but every time this crash happens, this line appears in the terminal output:

(process:1519): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:43:45.391: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed submitted by /u/gapex224

Yes, I am newbie in hacked linux-gaming. I try wine+steam+game but it's bad. Proton I guess is better attempt to do this stuff. Has anyone of you done something similar?

Red Dead Redemption 2, Unplayable Graphical Glitches

12 May 2024 - 11:06am

https://reddit.com/link/1cq3p16/video/5k1xhhk5nyzc1/player

Hi, I've attached an image of the sorts of glitches i get, the wired thing is that it worked perfectly fine yesterday, and i played the game for a few hours with only small glitches that didnt impact the gameplay at all, i have tried running the game under both Wayland and X11 , I have also tried launching the game in DX12 mode, but the game just crashes on startup under DX12, I have also searched a few times on google, but all the solutions i saw there seemed to be nvidia gpu specific and their solutions don't seem like they'd do anything on my full amd platform :). In my second attachment i am attaching my full system specs, if someone got this issue before and has a solution i'd appreciate any help you could give me. I am running the game through the Rockstar Games Launcher version Through Lutris, and i have tried multiple different proton version with no change
