Problem with OpenGL when trying to play Minecraft on TLauncher
Good day fellas, I formatted my computer this year to change the SSD. I've been using Arch Linux for 5 years, and even before formatting I used TLauncher to play Minecraft and I've never had any problems with any version. After this formatting, whenever I try to open any version of Minecraft the game simply doesn't open and a main error appears:
OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.
I've already tried updating the video card drivers and also tried other launchers such as Prism, Polly, etc., but none of them work.
I'd like some help, I've had that annual urge to play Minecraft and I'm genuinely desperate hahahaha

Are there any free, preferably open-source games similar to Star Fox?
There are puzzle games, platformers, racing games, many shooters, RPGs, and some others, but not many on rail shooters. Are there any free, native examples that don't require Steam?

Fixing BFME2 LAN/VPN-Multiplayer Desync
After lot of trying I finally found out what was causing my recurrent Desyncs. If anyone else is looking for a solution when having the same issue (desyncing with a windows client):
-used AllinOne 2.22 Battle for middle Earth Launcher from Moddb https://www.moddb.com/mods/battle-for-middle-earth-patch-222/downloads/patch-222
-If not on LAN and you're running a OpenVPN tap tunnel:
not sure if that caused the issue but setting your server-conf like this maybe helps to reduce desyncing
reduce tun-mtu and other package sizes for better socket flushing/packagesize/desyncing behaviour
tun-mtu 1000
mssfix 900
fragment 900
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
keepalive 10 120
I got it running ob Debian 12 (6.12.22 bpo kernel + mesa-vulkan-drivers bpo, Lutris/Wine from Stable)
change your WINECONFIG so you run ALL the following .dll in your /path-to-your-wine-prefix/drive_c/BFME2/ Folder natively/built in. not 100% sure which one is causing the problems but running all of them solved the problem
and you shouldnt run into desyncs anymore when playing LAN/VPN(layer-2/tap) games.
hf playing :)

steam hitman world of assassination and other games have trouble running
A few games on Steam that I try to run with different Proton versions don’t work. Using GE-Proton 10-3 works for some of them, but with Hitman: World of Assassination it doesn't work. I tried using ChatGPT to fix it because it’s usually sorta reliable, but this time it didn’t help.
I got it to summarize the fixes it tried with me, and I would be really grateful if anyone could help.
Basically, when I launch Hitman: World of Assassination, the launcher runs and I press Play. The game then boots and sometimes the IOI logo shows for a second with the intro sound playing. Sometimes the logo doesn’t show at all and it’s just a black screen. When it does show, it’s very brief and freezes immediately. No matter what, the IOI jingle always plays fully even on a black screen.
Sorry if the ChatGPT summary is long — here’s the full thing: https://pastebin.com/nDfjpWC1
If you need any more information, please feel free to ask because i'm desperate.
I beg you, genius Reddit Linux users take pity on me!
Also I’m running Xubuntu.

Dota 2 Consistent Performance Drop To Barely Playable. Help Wanted.
Picked up dota 2 recently and have been playing on a gaming laptop running Linux mint 22.1.
The game runs great for a while then consistently after around 30-40 minutes in game the performance drops significantly to around 5-10 fps. This only seems to be fixed by sometimes restarting the game or more often restarting my system.
I have had occasional game freezes and sometimes systen freezes in other games but for the most part everything works as it should.
Is this a known or common issue and can any steps to help fix it be provided?

Battlebit remastered / EAC issues
I can get it to open but then I'm greeted with a red text informing me that I don't have easy anti cheat. I checked proton db and I see that the game does work for some people, but I can't find what I'm doing wrong. I tried different versions of proton but nothing seems to work. I tried repairing EAC. How do y'all get EAC games to run?

Fedora 42 and PS5 dualsense
Recently just bought a PS5 controller to connect to my computer and for whatever reason it does not connect to my computer. After some digging online I came across a GitHub repo that claimed that blueZ was the culprit but that was around two years ago. Anyone know how to fix it?

UPDATE 4: Reviving my dead uncle's old game
Yeah so I didn't get a single hit on Virus Total. I'm not sure what in it makes Nrezinorn believe the game is malicious, but no hits on virus total for code that's 20 years old is good enough for me.
That said, I have extracted a file from the VM and added it to the repo in order to bypass dat2c/i386 dependence, and on testing, it works.
Now I just need to figure out how to install Alogg on my host machine since it isnt available via a package manager, and package managers install allegro in a manner that Alogg doesn't expect, since I cant find the makedoc that it's looking for.
Interestingly, fonts.dat was just a file comprised entirely of font bitmaps, then dat2s was invoked to convert it to assembly, which I googled pretty thouroughly since the file was interesting, and then it converts the fonts into an object file, which the game calls on any function where they need to specify a font. I think we're close.
As Always, here is the github repo: https://github.com/Kerenas/Monster-Monster-Asteroid-Madness
Also, have some pics of devchat, which they did entirely inside the source code.

Any updates on HoYoPlay/Genshin Impact compatibility on Proton?
As has been pointed out a number of times here, the HoYoVerse launcher for Genshin Impact, ZZZ, Honkai, etc. stopped working in Proton about a month ago. I was able to work around it by using Proton 7 and reinstalling the launcher every single time, but this is annoying and resets my settings every time, so I'd like to know if there's been any updates that actually fix this. I've read every other thread posted about this, so don't just give me a link - trust me, I've read it all.
I have tried Proton 10 beta and Proton Experimental, but neither of them are working. I also tried using Heroic and normal Wine, but launching the game forkbombs my system, freezing everything and forcing a hard reset. Lutris with Wine 10.6 does nothing. Launching the game directly doesn't work either, it will only run if I run the installer -> HYP -> GI. It also doesn't work if I click "Open Directly" in the installer. Turning off Wi-Fi doesn't change anything (I have the domains blocked in my hosts file already).
Since it seems to be working for other people, is there anything I'm missing? I'm using Arch Linux with the Zen kernel, R9 5950X and RX 7900 GRE.

Gaming on Manjaro for the stability. Blown away.
I have been having an issue with my 1080 on Win10 64 for a while. I load up into Warframe and the PC freezes randomly, with the sound continuing to play for a while, until the PC resets. Today, I finally had it, and I installed Manjaro, (my first time ever using Linux in any shape or form). I'm getting less fps, but there have been no freezes. Got rid of volumetric fog and SSAO, and the game works just as before. If anybody told me, as a lifelong Windows user that I would one day install Linux to have a more stable driver experience, I would have laughed at them.
I still have no idea how 99% of this OS works, but I am impressed with some features, and am willing to roll my sleeves up and learn new stuff. Depending on how much of my work software I can shift to the Linux install, I might permanently bust free from Windows as a baby penguin.
Kowalski, I am shooketh.
