I usually use keyboard and mouse but my favorite thing to do is local coop (Stardew valley in this specific case) with my sister, and that usually requires a controller.

For Christmas I was thinking about getting a new controller for her as the PS4 one she has is quite old. Now in the past I've had a few issues trying to get it connected (using bottles) and the game seems to be expecting Xbox controllers.

I do prefer the PS4 style of controller but will the Xbox controllers be less of a pain?

(I was thinking about getting 2 is that a good idea for local coop ?)

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Anything else just ask

I was happily playing Baluders Gate and my PC froze up. Had to hard kill it and went to bed. Opened it up the next day and the SSD it's on wasn't mounted, fixed that then Steam wouldnt work, restarted the PC again and then BG3 would go to load then just.... Not. Skyrim now does the same thing too

Not a lot of help from Google, tried a few things but didn't work, not really a software person.

Anyone have any idea how to fix it? Just want to play some sword & board

I'll spare you the details, but I thought the game was kind of dirty and I bought it on another account. Turns out it's great and not really dirty at all. So now I want to sink another 50-60 hours but am getting annoyed at constantly switching accounts. The game is Baldurs Gate 3

I installed Steam from rpm (OpenSuSE's Freeware 1.0.0.79). Ran it, it downloaded some updates into ~/.local/share/Steam then I get a dialog box steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding. The Steam UI will not be usable. Click here for more information. I have tried all the different "Restart" options presented: Restart Steam; Restart Steam with GPU Acceleration Disabled; Restart Steam with Browser Sandboxing Disabled; Restart Steamwebhelper to no avail.

The only error on the console is something with bwrap symlink ("bwrap: Can't make symlink at /run/user/1001/pulse: destination exists and is not a symlink") on pulse (assuming pulse audio) and this keeps repeating:

steamwebhelper.sh[14652]: Using supervisor /home/user1/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/steam-runtime-
supervisor
steamwebhelper.sh[14652]: Starting steamwebhelper under bootstrap sniper steam runtime via /home/user1/.local/share/Steam

/steam-runtime-sniper/_v2-entry-point
bwrap: Can't make symlink at /run/user/1001/pulse: destination exists and is not a symlink

Please note, that I have upgraded my native bubblewrap to AFTER 0.8.0 (bubblewrap-0.11.0-2.1.x86_64.rpm) where there was an error with symlinking the user's ~/Pictures, ~/Documents, etc directory. I think they fixed this in 0.9.0. however, it seems like Steam is not using my native bubblewrap package because I completely uninstalled it (apparently only flatpak was using it and that was uninstalled). So it must be using whatever version it downloaded for ubuntu environment it pulled down.

So I am on a fresh install of Fedora 41, using KDE Plasma, and I verified Wayland is enabled. When I run a game, say Farming Simulator 25 for instance but really anything, and go to set the resolution, my monitor's resolution of 3440x1440p isn't there at all. What's even more strange is something that is close like 3840x1600 works if I set it to that, things look mostly right?

I googled around but can't find a solution to this. KDE has 3440x1440 just fine and it is set to that. Can someone point me to a solution, or explanation please?

(oh and I ran xrandr and it looks like the resolutions showing are exactly what I can choose from in games, but if that's the fix I don't understand why adding something into xrandr would make it work since I'm using Wayland and not X11. Anyway, very confused!)

Not sure what the problem is, but when I try to use bluetooth headphones with this specific Roblox client, my audio output RAPIDLY keeps switching from my monitor to my headphones. I have updated my system via command line, and use Manjaro KDE via X11.

Do I need to be in Wayland to fix this? And if so, how in the hell do I set my EXTERNAL monitor to be the default one? I am on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. I'm not sure on how to expand this any further, as everything seems to be in check and my bluetooth works fine using other apps.

Hi!

I've been playing and enjoying Metal: Hellsinger on Linux for a while now, and haven't had any particular issues with the game up until I started playing the game's horde mode known as Leviathan mode. During the mode, I seem to have a ton of frame drops at seemingly random - despite having the proper specs to run the game at minimum, and according to pcgamebenchmark at recommended (at least on windows) - and despite what I've tried (setting the graphics to the minimum, adding gamemoderun %command% to the launch options), I can't seem to get them to stop. One thing I should note is that if I swap the game to any other version of Proton (with ProtonGE installed), I can't get it to launch at all.

Help would be very appreciated, thank you!

I finally figured out how to play my favorite game (Rise of the Tomb Raider) on my Linux (Ubuntu 24) box. You just have to go to compatibility and force to use Proton 9.0

Why do they even bother with a crappy Linux port that crashes on startup?

I hope it's ok to post this here.
I cleaned my GPU it was really dusty and added new thermal paste, putting everything back as it was, The GPU works but the fan won't start! Nvidia-smi shows fan at 0 even when temperature reaches 90! I totally didn't want to burn it so can someone help me? Is it the settings that it says fan at 0? I think I rewrote some xconif file trying to fix it reading other threads which didn't work for for me. I can't figure out what other posts are saying I might have screwed things up more. I'm on POP os with an Nvidia 1650 560.35.03.
'Nvidia-settings' doesn't open anything for me. Anyone... ??? or is my 1650 gpu not good enough? :(

A few months ago, i can play Elden Ring flawlessly and never crash or any issues, but recently, i just came back to Elden Ring and it crashes in a first few minutes of gameplay( usually at loading screen).

No other games has this crash( DS1, DS2, DS3, AC6, Remnant FTA, Remnant 2, Nioh 2 don't have any issue).

I have tried various versions of proton and it doesnt help. Im using a laptop with integrated graphics( 7840HS with 780M) and using Arch Linux with the lastest version of vulkan radeon, mesa.

This is the log from journalctl when the crash happens

Wir begrüßen Euch recht herzlich zum 21. Türchen im Holarse Linuxspiele-Adventskalender 2024! Im nunmehr schon elften (!) Jahr verlosen wir unter allen Linuxspielern und denen, die es noch werden möchten täglich ein natives Linuxspiel. Je nach Tag (z.B. Advent oder Nikolaus) können sich auch mehrere Spiele im Türchen verstecken. Dann haben mehrere Kommentare die Möglichkeit ein Spiel zu gewinnen.

Wie mache ich mit?

Teilnehmen kann jeder, der Lust auf Spielen unter Linux hat! Ihr benötigt zum Teilnehmen nur ein Holarse-Konto, damit wir euch den möglichen Gewinn per PM zuschicken können. Schreibt dazu einfach die Antwort zu der Frage des Tages hier unten in die Kommentare und schon seid ihr dabei!

Unter allen, die bis 20 Uhr unten in den Kommentaren antworten, wird dann der Gewinn oder die Gewinne verlost. Bei mehreren Spielen gibt es natürlich auch mehrere Gewinner!

Seid ihr durch random() ausgelost worden, dann erhaltet ihr den Geschenk-Link (Humble Store, dort benötigt ihr dann ein Konto) oder direkt den Steam-Key zum Einlösen per PM hier auf Holarse zugeschickt. Wenn ihr den Gewinn nicht bis zum 31.12.2024 eingefordert habt, rutscht er automatisch wieder in den Lostopf fürs nächste Jahr.

Wenn ihr bereits das Spiel habt, oder es euch nicht interessiert, ihr aber dennoch kommentieren wollt, schreibt einfach in den Kommentar dazu, dass ihr nicht teilnehmen wollt.

Frage des Tages

Welches Spiel oder Feature könnte deiner Meinung nach mehr Gamer dazu bewegen, auf Linux zu wechseln?

Was gibt es zu gewinnen?

Im heutigen Adventskalender-Türchen versteckt sich diesmal:

• Türchen: Deponia Doomsday, gesponsert von comrad im Originalwert von 19,99 €.

Auflösung

Heute um 20 Uhr wird die Kommentarsektion geschlossen und danach der Gewinner ermittelt und hier nachfolgend bekannt gegeben.

As the title says, I'm having trouble figuring this out. I can launch the game via launchmod_eldenring.bat and my dll mods as well as my ME2 mods load like they are supposed to, but I cannot figure out how to get er-patcher working so that I can also have the widescreen fixes and everything else.
