Loking for building-sim recommendations

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 00:38

Hey fellow Linux gamers,

I'm in the mood to play a Construction & Management Simulation, but don't know what to play. Can you recommend something that scratches my Anno itch, but runs natively on Linux (or is ehsy to set up in wine or proton) and is either FOSS or can be acquired for cheap on GOG.com? (I try to avoid Steam for DRM reasons)

It doesn't have to be great graphics or anything very modern, something on the level of Anno 1701 would be totally ok, but gameplay should at least be tolerable by modern stadards. If you think an older game still holds up well, even without nostalgia goggles on, you can still recommend it.

Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking of buying the Thrustmaster SimTask Kit (T248X wheel with pedals, TH8S shifter and the FarmStick joystick). Does anyone have in experience with those ? Are they working correctly on Linux ?

Thanks,

Jimmy

Sims 2 Graphics Rules Maker on Linux Wine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 22:48

I've installed the Sims 2 on Linux through Wine, using the Lutris install script for osab's starter pack. The Graphics Rules Maker fails to launch during the installation process, and it also fails to launch if I try to run it manually through Wine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Dual booting is amazing!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 21:54

Got an M.2 PCIe adapter and installed my M.2 SSD that i did not have space for. Having both a Linux system and a windows system is really nice. I can test and take my time on Linux while also having a stable windows platform for gaming games not compatible with Linux.

Bundling a single game with an emulator as an AppImage?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 20:47

For convenience reasons I want to bundle a switch nsp game with the final yuzu appimage that released, to make something that feels like a sort of naitive game. Basically an appimage that immediately runs the single game in the emulator without having to set up the emulator or even interact with it. And it saves any changes that normally would go in the yuzu home directory in a directory named after the single game it’s bundled with.

Anyway I know this is possible, but I just can’t get it to work.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Game is ACNH by the way, and yes I own my own switch and copy of the game too.

Anyone know of a Linux native mod manager for Skyrim/fallout? I've been using mod manager 2 through a script I found but I don't love the experience.

Weird Steam/Firefox Issue That Makes No Sense (to me)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 20:16

hello my fellow gamers on the wonderous gaming of linux variety subreddit

it appears that whenever i start firefox and steam at the same time, Steam hangs until it gives up on loading the webhelper, or firefox loads. Why is this happening? Also my firefox's load times are yet again abysmal with no clear reasoning. Some assistance would be appreciated

(This happens on both Arch and Artix)

(To be clear, this did NOT happen even ONE TIME on Fedora or Pop!_OS.)

DDO + DungeonHelper on Linux (via Proton?)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 20:05

Hello there!

I'm been very happy with Steam Proton on my Ubuntu 24.04 (and previous releases) for a very long time. I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons Online there also without a problem, usually by bypassing all bells and whistles and just calling

$STEAM_PATH/steamapps/common/Proton\ 8.0/proton run <path to exec>

instead. Works wonders. I have however heard about this add-on (it is legal and accepted by the developers) for DDO called DungeonHelper:

https://dungeonhelper.com/

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but it should be started <before> DDO and somehow draws data from the client. It is supposed to be in the systray doing this and... well, it doesn't work at all. It just automatically terminates itself without showing anything when started with Proton. Even if it showed "something", I wonder if it would be able to connect to the client if I'd start it with a different "proton run" call.

I wonder if there is a way to get these two to work together, or if anyone ever tried anything similar with Proton or wine in general. I'd be happy to try things out!

Just wanted to rant about my journey trying to game on linux so far

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. November 2024 - 19:58

I've been using linux for the past 2 months. I've been loving it, but had so many problems when it came to game involving lutris... I swear I've tried every single solution I could find on wikis or on the web, NOTHING MADE LUTRIS WORK. I've even moved through ubuntu to nobara, and finally, I've settled in mint but lutris gave me different errors in all of these distros (and even if I could fix them, the games simply wouldn't launch). I was ready to give up and go back to windows when I found out about bottles, and holy crap, it worked out of the box. I was speechless. Almost every game/repack I've tried so far in bottles worked out of the box, and if it didn't, I just needed to install some kind of dependency on the app. The errors involving Lutris probably were caused by some mistake I've made but I completely gave up on trying to make it work. Also, I've been pretty pretty happy with bottles so far :)
