Nice tip for bad contact with rechargeable batteries on the Xbox 360 wireless controller

26. März 2024 - 06:50

Hello!
So... I want to share an easy trick I just did to stop my x360 controllers from turning off with my rechargeable batteries since they are a little lower and that gap inside the cover doesn't allow the controller to turn on or just keeps turning off alone if you touch the battery cover.

Here is what I did:
I used a washer with copper tape (you can use aluminium tape too) stucked to it. On the part that is down, I placed a piece of the copper tape folded so that I had both adhesive sides and the washer could be glued to the contact terminal of the cover.
After this you can shake it like a polaroid picture.

That's it.
Now the picture:

Games won't launch with Proton

26. März 2024 - 06:12

Proton stopped working a few hours ago for seemingly no reason on Manjaro. I've tried everything from restarting my computer, reinstalling proton versions, and switching proton versions. Every single time I try to launch, it would randomly stop for some reason.

The error line I got from examining the action using my computer konsole is: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Sims 4 Modding with Bottles on Linuxmint

26. März 2024 - 05:01

I've been trying all afternoon and evening, first waiting for the game to download (on the EA app/launcher/ Origin) and then the DLC I have. And now I'm trying to figure out where the Mods folder is.

I navigate to home/username/.var/app/com.use bottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/bottlename/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 4

And there wasn't a Mods folder before or after I started the game. I did make a folder myself with my chosen mod inside. I look in Game/Bin/res and there's a resource.cfg file. Should I copy that and paste it into the Mods folder? Should I leave the Mods folder in The Sims 4 folder or move it to Bin?

I'm not at all computer savvy, though my sibling has helped me and shown me some things. So I apologize in advance for my airheadedness. I'm probably just not looking in the right place. I had this same issue with the Sims 2 several months ago but eventually figured it out with the help of some other redditors.

Thank you.

XIV Launcher fullscreen not working

26. März 2024 - 04:58

So I just installed the XIV Launcher for FFXIV and I tried enabling fullscreen in the launcher but the screen just blacks out. It seems like it just cuts the display signal and I have to do a hard reset every time. I'm working with a 5120 x 1440 monitor and I'm on Linux Mint. Anyone else have this issue? If so, did you figure out a fix?

Silica (Steam Game)

26. März 2024 - 04:14

Not sure what is going on. It says it works on Protondb and game appears to be supported on Steam Deck, with some minor issues. Each time I run it on my PC it just hangs and freezes. Haven't been able to load into a game other than main menu.

  • Dist: Mint Linux
  • CPU: R9 7950X3D
  • GPU: RTX 4080 (non-Super)
  • RAM: 64GB DDR5

I have Wine and Steam installed. Drivers are latest release. By default, Steam is using Proton Experimental for compat.

Anyone got Star Trek Bridge Commander working on Linux?

26. März 2024 - 01:59

Bit of an old game but there's a mod for it that makes it look more modern. So I figured I'd give it a try. But of course it's not on Steam so I got it on GoG. Now I believe I'll have to use Lutris.

Thought I'd stop by and ask if anyone has managed to get the game installed and playable. Thank you

Can't get MangoHud (flatpak) to work with Steam (flatpak)

26. März 2024 - 01:31

I've installed MangoHud and Steam via flatpaks: bash $ flatpak list | grep -E '(MangoHud|Valve)' Valve Corporation com.valvesoftware.Steam 1.0.0.79 stable flathub system MangoHud org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud 0.7.1 23.08 flathub system

And I can run games with MANGOHUD=1 %command%, mangohud %command% and not get any errors / run the game, but I can't get MangoHud to work/show.

I've tried to allow the steam sandbox access to: xdg-config/MangoHud:ro but it still won't work. I've also copied the config into .var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf (just in case) but it still won't work.

The funny thing is that Heroic games work and when I press RightSift+F12, I can disable/enable the overlay on goverlay but no in Steam games. I've tried with a DXVK app (ESO) and Vulkan (Doom Eternal).

I also run Fedora Kinoite and would like to keep everything in flatpaks if possible.

Upgrading the firmware on gaming peripherals

26. März 2024 - 01:14

What methods are there for upgrading the firmware on things such as monitors, keyboards, mice , etc on linux?

Do you all just use a vm and pass the usb through or is there a more elegant method ?

Mangohud not working on Linux Mint 21

25. März 2024 - 23:25

Hello. I switched to Linux recently and discovered the existence of Mangohud which you probably already know about. I tried to install it and use it in game but every time I launch a game with it, the game closes instantly. Whether on Steam or Heroic. Has anyone ever had a similar problem?

Hello I'm New to Linux! Need Some Advice!

25. März 2024 - 23:00

Hello! I am so excited to be trying out Linux in the future. I will be running a 7800x3D and a 7900GRE. I want a distro that is stable for games and I want to know if there is a distro that supports visual studio code because I do code for work and it is what I am most used to. I apologize if this gets asked 100s of times!

CS2 suddenly not working anymore for no reason?

25. März 2024 - 22:59

So, I'm a Linux newbie. Been using Fedora 39 on my dad's laptop and I've installed Steam to play CS2 last week. Game worked fine and ran with no need to configure anything, straight out of the Steam launcher. But for some reason 3 days ago, the game stopped working in any way whatsoever. When I click play, the game says it's running, but doesn't launch, then nothing happens and it's back to not running again after a few seconds. I've tried looking up countless solutions online to no avail, so here I am.

Hardware specs:

CPU Intel 8565U

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Mesa)

16gb RAM

Dragon's Dogma 2 sometimes has okay FPS and sometimes it's absolute garbage (same graphics settings, same location. Depends on boot)

25. März 2024 - 22:54

Okay, not sure how to exactly explain this in detail, but I'll try. I bought Dragon's Dogma 2 and I've been driving myself crazy trying to get it to work properly. I am trying to get the game to run at 1080p with a stable 30FPS.

Sometimes, it does just fine. Other times, the frame rate is half of that, or even worse. And the weird thing? It seems to be decided how the game is going to run each time it starts up. I used MangoHUD to monitor things, and if the game decides that it wants to run well, then my GPU will be nearly 100% utilisation, which makes sense.

However, when the game decides that it wants to run like absolute garbage, the game does not use anywhere NEAR my PC's maximum capabilities. (I'm talking like, 70% GPU usage and 30% CPU usage at MAXIMUM)

Again, the weirdest thing is that which of these two "modes" it decides on is completely randomly decided each time I start the game.

I have tried different Proton versions, I have tried both X11 and Wayland. I have tried every single launch command listed on ProtonDB that would apply to AMD GPU + Intel CPU hardware. I have tried using corectrl to try to force the game to use as much of my PC as possible. Nothing seems to work. Like I said, it appears to randomly decide if it is going to use my PC to its full potential or not on each game boot.

My PC Specs are as follows:

OS: openSUSW Tumbleweed

Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6

GPU: RX 6600

CPU: i7-11700 @ 4.90 GHz

RAM: 16GB

Storage type game is installed on: Internal SSD

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much.

New Amd GPU keeps crashing (RX 7900XT)

25. März 2024 - 22:37

New GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 7900XT

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

RAM: Cosair Vengance 32gb 3600MHz DDR4 Ram ( they are being run at 3200MHz as per recommended by motherboard manufacturer)

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-plus Wi-Fi I

PSU: NZXT C1000 PSU (2022) - PA-0G1BB-US - 1000 Watt PSU - 80+ Gold Certified - Fully Modular

OS: Arch Linux

Display Resolution: 2160 x 1440

Well, I tried to upgrade my old GPU (AMD RX 6600XT) this past Friday (03/22/2024). I plug it in, and it works until I start any game and the game crashes in like 2 minutes (The screen freezes and nothing works and the only way to recover is to restart the entire system).

What I did to troubleshoot: I reinstalled mesa, vulkan-radeon and xf86-video-amdgpu using pacman. I thought the issue was my old PSU (750 watts) so I order a new one (the one listed above), I also consider RAM could be an issue and order a new one too (current one listed above) I plug both in and the GPU still crashes. I think the GPU is the issue, so I call up Amazon, and they send me a replacement GPU. The replacement arrived today, I plug it in and the same issue occurs. 2 minute crashes in any game. I don't know what the issue is, as my old card still works perfectly with all the same parts, but these are 2 new graphics cards that just keep freezing.

Any insight would be appreciated.
