I'm on NixOS using GNOME under Wayland, what's my best option for recording macros of my xbox controller?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 21:05

Title.

I'm at this point of Elden Ring where I would like to farm runes to level up more easily. I found a famous location on Elden Ring for this (it is around the Mohgwyn Palace, where a bunch of Albinaurics are sitting) and got a bunch of arrows to shoot at the bird across the canyon. This, however, is not fun at all, so I would like to automate the process.

Any macro recording options or recommendations?

How does steam choose between Steam Linux Runtime 1/2/3 ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 20:54

And is there a way to force a specific version ? I know there's force steam to use X on a per game basis, but that's only to force proton I believe, not Steam Linux Runtime...

steam creating external game entries from terminal

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 20:36

I want to automate adding some non steam vn games to my library to run with proton and also launching them from command line.

I found this spec that matches my manually created entries but I'm missing some info on appid and enabling proton.

The file is at $HOME/.steam/steam/userdata/<USER ID>/config/shortcuts.vdf and I'm looking at it with hexdump -C.

00000010 70 70 69 64 00 46 d3 6f 9c 01 41 70 70 4e 61 6d |ppid.F.o..AppNam|

Here the first appid is in hex, matching appid\0x00(.*)\0x01AppName capture but converting to decimal and running steam steam://rungameid/$(echo $((16#46d36f9c))) doesn't seam to work.

  • How can these manually added games launched from command line?
  • How to set appid if adding manual entry? I'm guessing it has to be in range that doesn't clash with the steam catalogue?
  • How can I set the entry to use steam experimental from the command line?

Does Halo use kernel level anti-cheat?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 19:04

I find it funny that Halo's never brought up in these discussions or surrounding anti-cheat. Also, the fact that Microsoft games work on Linux is why I'm not convinced Microsoft is trying to sabotage Linux with anti-cheat. They're not even using one of the anti-cheats Valve worked with.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 19:00

My non-steam files are way to big, I have heroic launher but I only have a fallout new vegas installed,

About C++ missing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 17:45

So i shamefully never been able to play games that required c++. I did try a bunch of tuorials or instuctions i saw on reddit,etc. About 8months after my first c++ missing i have been able to resolve the problem(i tried the two lutris methods, bottles way, heroic way the steam tinker launch, proton tricks and winetrick, i know they work the same way). I dont if i lacked insight and missed the info or what but what made it work for me was simply chosing the win 64 shipping .exe of the game i would download.

tldr: maybe try the win 64 shipping .exe for c++ missing

Hi!

I want to stretch my game to a 4:3 1920:1440 on my primary display. But i get blackbars despite the -S flag.

My launch option is the following: gamescope -w 1920 -h 1440 -S stretch -e -f -r 144.0 --immediate-flips --force-grab-cursor --expose-wayland -- %command%

Anyone have any ideas why?

I use Arch Linux & Proton Experimental

Throne and Liberty randomly just stopped launching on Linux via Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 14:56

Has anyone else had this issue? The launcher just gives me unknown error #1 and I've verified all the game files.

In desperation I uninstalled it completely and am slowly re-downloading the entire 64GB.

It's been like this for almost a month now :'(

Should Valve Disable Shader Pre-Caching by Default?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 07. November 2024 - 13:39

Hey everyone,

I wanted to open a discussion about the Shader Pre-Caching feature in Steam and whether Valve should consider disabling it by default. For those who may not be familiar, shader pre-caching is designed to improve game performance by downloading and storing pre-compiled shaders, which can help reduce load times and stuttering during gameplay.

https://preview.redd.it/v2h5afaj5hzd1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10ea12cbc11e6b9ccd47bd1d4b6773d661ce709e

  1. Frequent Downloads: A lot of users have noticed that starting Steam often triggers massive shader pre-caching downloads—sometimes between 2-8GB daily—without any actual game updates. This can be quite frustrating and seems unnecessary.
  2. Concerns for New Users: This feature can be particularly confusing for new Linux users who may not understand why they are experiencing so many downloads every day.

Drivers and GPL Support Dates:

  • AMD: Mesa 23.1 was officially released on May 10, 2023.
  • Intel: Mesa 23.3 was officially released on December 2, 2023.
  • NVIDIA: Graphics driver version 520.56.06 was released on October 12, 2022.

Recommendations for Users:

  • Disable Shader Pre-Caching: For those with new drivers above the specified versions, it’s advisable to turn off this feature in the Steam settings under Downloads. This can help reduce the frequency of those large downloads.

https://preview.redd.it/eq0s253l5hzd1.jpg?width=849&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23518779f7cef826cf416c11bbb99b2843eb23ae

Conclusion: While shader pre-caching aims to enhance gaming performance, its current implementation has led to excessive downloads and user frustration. Given these issues, do you think Valve should disable this feature by default? Or do you believe it still has its merits for certain users?
