Hello everyone, is this just me ?? I can't get any EA games to work but specifically I'm trying to run Jedi survivor on steam. Easy right? Click play ? Uhhhh... how do you like this 'gameplay'?

"preparing game..."

"the servers took too long to do their server thing"

So I tried Lutris, Bottles, and Heroic. I read on protondb, maybe you need to link your EA account to steam (it already is), or have the EA app logged in on your PC before the bundled EA launcher will work (because logged out due to inactivity). Okay let's try that...

Queue 16 hours of...
wine-staging 10.6 and 10.8

proton-ge 9-27, 10-3, 10-4, 10-15

wine-ge 8-26

proton 9.0-4, 8.0-5

soda 9.0-1

it doesn't seem to matter. In steam, it always fails to connect to servers. In the other apps, it says "background services crashed" and asks me to update. It then does one of three things:

• EA app is already up to date - exiting (then it just repeats in a loop, asking me to update)
• It DOES update, and then it tries to start EA app, and it hangs forever
• New one (happened one time) it DOES update, then it says "update failed to stage" and it loops asking me to update again.

I tried recreating the prefixes... I tried repairing the EA app by using "run EXE in prefix" with the EA app installer, I tried "hide the wine version from the application" from winetricks/protontricks...

I tried installing the EA app with proton-GE and then running it with wine-staging. I tried the reverse. I tried many more such combinations from the wine list I gave.

I read about moving the files from the EA desktop staging folder to the EA desktop folder. There is no staging folder.

I tried deleting the cache folders from EA desktop in AppData\Local\

I got the EA app to open ONE time in Lutris after doing a bunch of weird shit like installing 2019 & 2022 vcrun using winetricks, but the UI was just a dark background with the sidebar on the left. Clicking any options in the sidebar did nothing, and at the same time it started to do the "servers took too long to do their server thing" error that I have with steam already... I ended up deleting that prefix and tried to recreate the same scenario and it didn't work (???).

Announced a few hours ago on the Steam discussions page here, though I notice the store page still only shows Wintendo.

AMD have announced the end of AMDVLK, their official open-source Vulkan driver and will instead now be focusing on the much more popular RADV.

I had a couple of concerns about switching over to Linux. My main concern is anti cheat on games. I am planning on playing Battlefield 6 when it comes out but I saw that it has a new anti cheat system. So for my question, Is it worth switching over if plan to play games with anti cheat ?

I have a small laptop that was in my closet for like 10 years and wanted to try if can make run at least a youtube video without struggling. I tried instaling windows 7 on it and runs great but for some reason only with windows 7 the wifi drivers doesn't work. Also try some linux OS like Zorin and Linux lite but the performance is so bad that can't even open the configuration app without taking 5 minutes. When writting this I am installing Lubuntu to see if it works.

The pc have this specs:

Intel Atom n455
2gb ram ddr3
120 hard drive storage

I know is a really bad pc but if I can optimize it to use at least a browser I can make a use of it.

Hi folks,

I'm considering changing my setup (which a huge tower) to a Mini-PC for portability. After being tempted by switching to the Mac Mini, I decided I would stay in the linux environment. First because Mac haven't caught up in terms of compatibility compared to linux, but also because I loved my linux experience. Though I feel like Pop_OS has been stagnant lately.

Current setup
CPU: Intel i5
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060
RAM: 16 Gb
Distro: Pop_OS

Games: mostly city builders and strategy games. No triple AAA. I occasionally stream on Twitch.

I like my current setup but I now need it to be more compact and portable. Ideally a mini-ITX but I can settle on a micro-ATX if I really have to.

As a replacement, I'm considering either the Slimbook One or the Tuxedo Nano Pro with 32 Gb and Bazzite OS. My guess is that more RAM and better Linux integration with AMD may compensate for the loss in graphic performance. But I'm not sure it's that simple so I'd like to know what you think.

Am I making a huge mistake?
If so, is there a better option?

Thank you so much for helping me navigating though that mess!

Hey, is anyone else experiencing this weird issue in tf2? A bunch of UI elements are replaced by letters, as if some font has failed to load. I've tried clearing my font cache, installing ms-fonts, switching from native to proton (which fixed the UI issue, but vac doesn't like tf2 on proton, so I had to switch back to native)...

I'm on Arch Linux, running Wayland Gnome.

Hello,

For some time now I have been trying to make the move for my dedicated tv gaming PC.

I tried a few distros (Ubuntu, Bazzite, Fedora) with KDE/Plasma or Gnome and two different GPUs (RTX 4090 and AI PRO R9700) with the exact same result, up-to 50% less FPS, still at least 30% slower in most games.

I am pretty sure I am facing a weird issue somewhere seing how many see a very small loss or even a gain sometimes.

The most important game for me is Cyberpunk 2077, I tried with a few tricks (latest Proton-GE) but it is unplayable even thought it is working fine for many others.

I run a 13600KF on a MSI Z690 PRO-A Wifi DDR5, connected to a LG G4.

If someone have an idea, it would be great !

I’m very new to Linux and wanted to play modded AC. I installed Content Manager and then Custom Shaders Patch v0.2.11. I’ve tried other versions, and the same error pops up. I installed dwrite, and everything else is working fine other than this.

Hi all. Since the latest expedition my game doesn't load into the world. It's stuck at the star traveling screen I assume is like a loading screen. Typically it wouldn't take long to get going but now it seems stuck.

If I exit the game and try again I get past the NMS logo then a window error suggesting I scan the game files. When scanned they report positive and no other files are replaced. If I reboot and try I'm back to square one.

I'm using steam proton to play, AMD graphics, SSD storage, 32GB RAM, I5 16 core Intel CPU. Also on Endeavor OS.

I've tried other proton versions, seems like a bug needing patching or the servers are chocka-block? Worked beatiful a couple of weeks or so ago but now dead.

Any thoughts?

I'm on linux mint and I have a generic DS4 Gamepad which works perfectly with Steam. But outside Steam, it doesn't function, unless I use xboxdrv. Problem is, for some reason, the rumble feature doesn't work with xboxdrv, even if I add the line: --force-feedback

So I tried using SC-controller, but the app doesn't even detect my gamepad. After some research, I came to the conclusion that the problem is the product ID of the gamepad, which is "05c4". SC-controller is expecting "09cc", which is the product ID of slightly more recent DS4 gamepads.

So my question is, does anyone know any other driver that works with an old DS4 controller and has Rumble? Or is there a way to spoof the ID of the gamepad (possibly with a udev rule) so SC-controller detects it? Thanks.

LEGO Voyagers is the cutest looking co-op game and it's available today, along with it getting Steam Deck Verified for the release.

So I’ve got this old Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-2MV that I put Linux Mint on. I installed the Rockstar Games Launcher through Lutris because I wanted to try running GTA V on it.

The install went fine, but when I try to open the launcher afterwards, I just get an authentication error and it won’t let me in. I double-checked my login, even reinstalled the launcher, but it still gives the same error.

Anyone know if there’s a fix for this or if the Rockstar Launcher just doesn’t play nice with Linux?
