How do I install the latest version of Mesa?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 17:22

I'm using Fedora 41.

It seems a bug which I've been experiencing for a while has finally been fixed in a recent commit.

Unfortunately, though, I'm unsure how to actually gain access to this new bug fix. I've tried updating my system using dnf update, as usual, but I don't think the fix has made it into the main repos yet for Fedora, so updating via dnf doesn't actually fix the problem.

Could anyone point me towards some instructions on how to install the latest "Bleeding Edge" release of Mesa, and let me know whether this is actually a good idea or not?

DS4 controller not working correctly over bluetooth without steam input

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 16:13

Not sure if this belongs in this sub, but I'm honestly at a loss for what I can do next.

I have a genuine DS4 controller that I use for playing games like GoW, GoW:Ragnarok, Dark souls 2/3. It works completely fine in the first 2 games specifically when:

- playing wired with a micro B USB cable

- playing over BT with steam input enabled

However, when I enable steam input, it loses the ability to vibrate altogether. This happens in both wired and wireless setups. Moreover, the colours of the LED also don't change with steam input enabled.

When I disable steam input, with a cable it works completely perfectly, drawback being that a cable needs to be connected. When I connect it through bluetooth, it doesn't work at all unless I enable steam input.

I've tried to do some research on this, but all that came up is a specific proton version that somehow would fix this magically, but I kind of don't want to deal with installing custom proton versions, as I'm running NixOS, and installing custom proton versions is a bit more hassle than just "press installl".

I've tried doing the following things:

- Disable everything in the steam -> settings -> controller menu

- Disable steam input in the game specific settings

I restarted the game every time I changed a controller setting

Not running anything controller specific, I'm using NixOS with kernel 6.6.57, with steam installed as well as having the following bluetooth specific stuff:

- bluetooth manager (blueman-applet)

- bluetoothd (systemd service)

- blueman and bluetooth are enabled in my OS config

bluetoothctl gives this as device info:

Device <MAC redacted> (public)

Name: Wireless Controller Alias: Wireless Controller Class: 0x00002508 (9480) Icon: input-gaming Paired: yes Bonded: yes Trusted: yes Blocked: no Connected: yes WakeAllowed: yes LegacyPairing: no UUID: Human Interface Device... (00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) UUID: PnP Information (00001200-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) Modalias: usb:v054Cp09CCd0100

Interestingly, when I run citra (native app) outside of steam, it recognises the controller just fine and it works, but when ran as a non steam game, it doesn't work with steam input enabled, only with it disabled.

How can I make it so that it works over bluetooth with steam input specifically disabled? My bluetooth receiver is a generic bluetooth 5.3 adapter based on the RTL8761bu BT chip, with a downgraded firmware binary in my kernel so it matches the FW version used in Windows 10/11 (the newer one is basically unusable).

I just installed a 3070 and I am so happy???

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 16:12

Hello guys. I used to game on an RTX 2060. I have just gotten my newly arrived RTX 3070 installed in my PC.

I am like HOLY SHIT??? I can run Cyberpunk at 35-40 FPS at ultra settings 1440p with RT??? What is this!

Like, I am so astounded. I am actually able to get 50 FPS in RDR2, fully maxed out (so including all the particle effects, volumetrics etc. at 1440p), and without DLSS, at 1440p! Holy fuck????? My RTX 2060 was getting like a choppy 30-35 and it was difficult to play like that...

Btw do you think this is even right? I game on Linux so sometimes games bug out or glitch out. Is it correct that the 3070 should be able to run the game at 35-40 fps 1440p with RT? Or is something glitched out and I should be getting less but something isn't rendering properly or something? I have tested it out and I can totally tell the difference between RT on and off?

Like I just wanted to share that I am so happy I can now play at 1440p respectably? It feels like this card is better than the 2060????

Thoughts???

Btw I am using a Ryzen 5 2600?

How does FSR 3.1 work? Why can I just install it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 15:25

I am having trouble understanding this... Sorry, I am a total newbie to linux and all the handheld stuff. This is probably a really dumb question but googling is just making me more confused. ChatGPT didn't help too much either...

I own a Legion Go and I installed CachyOS on it. It's been amazing but I read that there is FSR 3.1 for Vulkan and I thought that was all needed in order to get frame generation on the system. Won't it just work out of the box like the integrated FSR in SteamOS does? I've just installed the OS and I could upscale any game out of the box with the FSR integrated menu. No need to install any mods or anything for the game. It just worked with every frinking game. Doesn't FSR 3.1 work like this? Why isn't FSR 3.1 now replacing FSR on SteamOS and bringing frame generation to every game? Is there any way to enable this or test it myself?

For example: Let's say I want to play Ark Survival Evolved (not Ascended). FSR works just fine. It's upscaling perfectly... If I somehow "update" the FSR version to FSR 3.1 could I get frame generation on the same game without having to do anything else? Or is there something I can do to get it to work?

SteamOS like distro advice.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 14:30

I am looking for a distribution that I can install once and use for years (until SteamOS is available to public). Which distribution is closest to this?

I tried Bazzite, but some games do not open at all (I tried with ProtonGE and Lutris, but they still do not open), the system opens as slowly as Windows and uses 7GB of ram at idle. Arch-based distros works better for me i think.

And please don't say Install any distribution and open Steam in big screen mode. It's hard to control with just a gamepad. Sometimes you need to alt+tab. There are shortcuts for these in Steam, but wayland requests remote control and requires a mouse to click. Gamescope also scales games.

I don't like the GNOME desktop. For those using ChimeraOS, have you had any problems with it before (updates etc.) and how long have you been using it?

Steamfork is really nice. It uses the latest linux kernel. Same as real SteamOS. Post-installation helpers are also useful. However, very few people know/use it.

People who use HoloISO also report problems with it. And I don't really trust the developer.

I am currently using kde + arch + gamescope session but it is constantly necessary to deal with it. Bluetooth or wifi breaks with updates.

Maybe I'll try the same on Fedora, but AUR is easier to install drivers. Should I use Nobara? But I think arch-based ones are better.

Which one do you recommend?

Steam can't browse local games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 12:08

I am trying to add a non-steam game and it's not on the first list that steam provides for apps, so I have to browse and locate it manually. But clicking browse doesn't do anything. There's no pop up file chooser. I have a file manager: Thunar. And I have checked that the "File picker" option works for other apps such as Firefox, Spotify, etc... and I am pretty sure I have the required dependencies installed as I used the arch package manager. Can anyone please help?

Saitek heavy Equipment wheel Not working in FS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. November 2024 - 11:46

Hello dear community.

I have a saitek steering wheel which was intentionally made for the FS22. I used it to play it on windows which works flawless obviously. Now I bought the new farming simulator and wanted to give it a go. I never used this steering wheel with Linux so I never got it to work properly. I installed jstest-gtk to check if all axis work as intended which they do.

The behavior in FS22 and FS25 are like this: permeant right turn and acceleration and breaking are on the same button/pedal.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything related to the saitek wheel. Maybe someone has a source up his sleeve where I can take a look into to maybe fix this. Any input where the problem is is appreciated since I really am lost with this problem.
