Can I and how do I mod Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 16 Minuten

So, I've managed to get Xenoverse 2 to run fine on it's own, but now I'm curious if anyone knows how I can mod the game. I have heard someone say that you can use Lutris to run the things you need to mod the game, like the Patcher and Installer, but I have no idea how to do that. Thank you for any help you are able to give me

Having problems saving the nvidia-settings config file

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 24 Minuten

OK, about 6 months ago I noticed I was having some screen tearing problems in most applications. Setting v-sync in games would not fix the issue. I did some research and found that the setting "Force Full Composition Pipeline" would solve the issue.

https://preview.redd.it/fuhd03luegee1.png?width=787&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccdcb4379c31e6ce596406556e066c38bd83c2ff

The problem is that I could not save the settings to a config file. If I click the "apply" button, it prompts for a save file destination. Even if I just save the default config with no changes made, it completely messes up my system.

After saving the config, I restart the system and the graphics are messed up: the resolution is terribly large, maybe 1024x800 for system applications, but firefox retains the normal resolution 1440p. The taskbar disappears and many system apps don't work (I can't use the screenshot, for example.) I am not able to right-click the screen to change the display type and the mouse cursor doesn't move below the level of the screen, so I don't think the taskbar is hiding under the display because of a resolution issue. My suspicion without proof is that the resolution is fine, but the system applications are loading at extremely large fonts.

The only solution I have found is to delete the config file xorg.conf. So for the last half a year I have been ignoring this problem and using temporary settings in nvidia-settings.

If anyone has a solution, I would be very appreciative. Please comment if you have had this problem yourself and were able to solve it.

Thanks

Dragon's Dogma 2 - Menu overlay highlight is skewed on Proton

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 56 Minuten

Just purchased Dragon's Dogma 2, intending to play it on my Linux Gaming PC.

Game boots up fine, but in most of the menus, the selection box/highlight overlay seems to be off on my system. See attached screenshots below:

https://imgur.com/a/1eUgwCb

The incorrect offset seems to be about half off in the middle of the screen (See it hovering between "Game Settings" and "Interface" in screenshot 1), but towards the bottom will actually be a full option below where it should be--note in Screenshot 2 that the right side shows Network features even though "Language" appears to be the one highlighted. The final screenshot shows the a Yes/No dialogue, where "Yes" has the selection box around it even though No is the option selected (note the brighter text).

I'm only 30 minutes in, but I can already tell this is going to be incredibly frustrating to deal with, borderline unplayable.

Is there anything I can do to try to fix this? I'm using an all-AMD CPU/GPU setup.

VM or dual boot?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 20 Minuten

just a quick question.

Which method runs better for playing non-supported games (like League of Legends or GTA V Online) in a Windows system.

QEMU/KVM based VM like Virtual Machine Manager or just dual booting with windows just for these games.

i wanna hear about your experience and ideas

Trying to play a .exe game on Proton - how do I get Steam to find it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 34 Minuten

Hey there,

I am trying to play The Bazaar on Proton (I tried it on Wine, but I get the Bazaar cursor, no sound, no video, just a black screen). I've heard that Proton is the way to go. I have the game downloaded and when I go to Steam and add a non-Steam game, I can browse some folders like var, usr, mnt, etc. Any idea how to get my executable game files over to those folders so Steam can find them? This is my first time trying something like this, so I'm sure I'm overlooking some very simple steps.

Thank you!

Switch Online N64 Controller Fully Working... Except for C-Right

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 23:51

Hello. I am trying to get the Switch Online N64 controller working on my Linux installation (EndeavourOS). However, I can't seem to use the right C button. It's not mapping to any button. According to https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad, it is button 17, so it's definitely registering it being pressed, but that button is not being picked up by any games.

Again, the controller works perfectly except for this one button, and I'm wondering if there's an easy fix I can do.

Any recommendations for AM5 motherboards with an Intel Wi-Fi chipset (or a chipset that is not Realtek)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 23:45

I am looking for anything that has Wi-Fi and bluetooth. The build would be running arch in the end. Currently I am mostly looking at B650 boards, but all of the ones I can find have either only Realtek or don't even list what they have. I think the ASrock B650E has intel but that is also 2x the price of any other B650 in my country. Any help would be appreciated.

Icon to Logout of Desktop Environment and Into Another

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 23:30

Hello,

The title basically says it. I'm running EndeavourOS, with the ChimerOS based gamescope-session installed and working. I've got Sunshine running to access the machine remotely, but I get kicked out and can't easily switch to the Gamescope session when I'm not in front of the machine.

I would like to create an icon on the desktop that will log a user out and straight into the Gamescope session, just like the Steamdeck does. I'm guessing the icon would need to point to a script or something, but I'm not sure even where to look for how to achieve this.

Also, I have not had the chance to actually look into how the Steamdeck does it, but I will be doing so. Regardless, some help/advice would be appreciated.

It seems that Battle.net is having issues on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 23:27

I'm using auto-updated Lutris to play a couple of Blizzard's games and haven't had any issues for years until today. I opened up Bnet to play Hearthstone and the game tried running a patch but failed. I repaired the files and tried again. Fail.

I tried to reinstall the game, but it failed at the last second. Then I uninstalled Bnet and tried to reinstall. Same thing happened. Here is my log from Lutris: https://pastebin.com/dh5nGLFQ

I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a mini pc from Amazon. It ain't much, but it's been working for my needs. I'm not sure who's at fault currently, but I'm hoping someone from the community can hop in and help out.

Switched to Bazzite - day 1

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 21:46

My PC is a newish gen AMD CPU/GPU combo.

I'm not entirely a n00b. I daily drove a couple of gaming laptops with Ubuntu on them for about 1 year before the pandemic. I know how Proton works, what games I would expect to work, etc. I have owned a Steam Deck for ~2 years.

Installation - worked great but the first time I forgot to add a user so I had to do it again. It's on me but maybe have a way to not let you move past that step if it's required REQUIRED.

Everything pretty much worked out of the box afterwards. Opened Steam after it installed all by itself (cool) and enabled Compatibility Mode just like old times.

Games:

- GoWR - installed but when I ran it the first time it started to complain about some PS app and how I needed to install that. I read about it and you could just add some startup arguments?!commands?!something.. Game runs great. I'm getting 130-165 fps with Ultra settings.

- Forza 5 - when I ran it all went well until the prompt for logging into my M$ account didn't display anything. I tried to research online but there were some vague answers that made me think about switching the Proton version. Went from Hotfix to Experimental and yay, I could see the form where I could log in. Game runs great. I'm getting 110-165 fps with all bells and whistles on including RT.

- Forza 4 - same.

- Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - worked well. It's a kiddie game so it runs well.

- Diablo 4 - I don't have it on Steam so I started Lutris and installed Battle.net by searching inside Lutris. I installed it and logged in but when it when downloading D4 it would go really fast for the first 60% saturating my internet connection, but the download speed would slow down until eventually it throws some error about some files being corrupted. I've researched online and it seems to happen on Windows too. I tried to switch to Proton Hotfix when starting Battle.net from Lutris but I had the same issue. Will look into this more tomorrow. I feel like I'm missing something.

All in all, it's a lot better than before the pandemic. Bazzite feels great, but it's still a bit off from a straight forward experience. I tried this on my gaming PC a while back with Pop OS! but I was running a green card back then and it didn't go very well even if I did it with the nvidia image. I remember it took a couple of hours to get Wayland to work.

Day 1 Nvidia RTX 50 Series / RTX 5000 support on linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 21:35

I personally am not planning on upgrading anything but for those of you who probably know more, would you expect the Nvidia drivers on Linux to be up to date by release similar to how 4000 series is right now?

Or would you assume Linux drivers will be behind at all?

My understanding is that they should just get updates in the same cycle at this point and probably be fine assuming proton or other compatibility stuff doesn't have issues with the newer hardware.

I personally have not had issues with my RTX 40 series card but I also migrated full time to Linux on my gaming computer in just the last 6 months and I wonder if I'm getting a more mature experience and if people would expect growing pains early on with the RTX5000 series?

I suspect that because of changes in how Nvidia is dealing with Linux drivers now that as long as you are running pacman -Syu (or whatever you use) you should probably be good to go and not be behind the windows driver releases by more than a few weeks at most.

Also there isn't a new version of DirectX which I assume would setback stuff like proton when it comes out someday (if ever?) so since there is no DirectX change and drivers are released more closely now my gut is that it would probably just work?

Latest release (right now) is 565.77 and I don't see any mention of RTX 50 series support in the release notes or in prior versions. Not sure if that matters

I think the latest Nvidia game drivers are 566.36 on windows, I don't know if that release number directly correlates and means the Linux version is behind? Either way my assumtion is that if somebody asks me if RTX 50 series will work on launch in windows the answer is "probably".

Opinions?

How have I not heard of RomM before?!? This is a gamechanger for emulation enthusiasts

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. Januar 2025 - 20:56

I like to think I stay fairly up to date in the worlds of Linux, Self-hosted software, and Gaming. But somehow, until I found it buried in a comment thread on [r/selfhosted](), I had never heard of RomM.

If the README overwhelmed you, let me explain. RomM allows you to "self-host" your *completely legitimate* collection of ROMs from your own machine, making them available to you whenever and wherever you are.

https://i.redd.it/hw4slua2heee1.gif

Why is this cool? Well, we already have a ton of great software for *running* your emulated games, like RetroArch and EmuDeck, but what about cataloguing, categorizing, and organizing? RomM lets you build a single, centralized, inventory of your game ROMs, so you can always have them on hand for whatever emulator and platform you end up using down the line.

Think of it like your own personal Steam for game emulation. You can

  • Organize your library by genre, system, franchise, etc
  • Store multiple game save states
  • Download games onto your client to play locally
  • Play (some) systems directly in the browser

That's right, you can play games from supported platforms directly in the browser, thanks to a direct integration of EmulatorJS.

When I found this out, I asked the next logical question; Will this work on the SteamDeck? In short, YES.

Here's what I did to get it working;

  • Installed the Google Chrome Flatpak through the software center
  • Ran a game in the browser to take note of default controller layout for that system

https://preview.redd.it/ozwuksalieee1.png?width=1101&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0c36a76a93a1511f353ffdaabfb93802bfd24c8

  • Went on my steamdeck and modified the "Web Browser" controller layout to reassign these keys
    • ie (A button -> Z on keyboard)
    • I didn't mess with "gamepad" mode, since EmulatorJS already expects these keys coming from a keyboard
    • Save as a new layout ie. EmulatorJS GBA

Now you're pretty much done. Navigate to your RomM instance in Google Chrome with your new layout active, and the games should play perfectly!

I just really want to give this project a huge shoutout because I don't really see it discussed here, and I think a lot of people would find it useful!

Caveats:

This is not a "plug and play" piece of software. Like anything self-hosted, it's going to take a bit of manual tinkering to get up and running. Setting it up locally shouldn't be *too* difficult, but you're mostly on your own when it comes to exposing it to the internet. Here's some documentation about it. You need to provide your own API keys for IGDB and SteamGridDB if you want game information and cover art to be loaded.

Also, I found that (for me) the entire application UI was buggy as hell on firefox, which is unfortunate as that's my primary browser.
