With these language models getting better all the time, having an ai to short through issues that arise seems like it’s getting easier for non tech people to game on Linux. I’ve had Gemini sort out numerous problems that have come up for me. It seems faster than sorting through forums on my own.

Hey!

I have been working on a cross-platform D2R loader/multiboxer the last couple of weeks and feeling quite comfortable with its state now. It basically allows one to run multiple D2R.exe instances. It does nothing shady - on Linux it works by creating multiple wineprefixes for each configured profile and on Windows by killing a handle using 'handle.exe'. It uses the authentication methods available to authenticate against bnet and nothing else.

It's written in Python/Qt and requires Lutris/Proton for now (I am using Arch so not sure if other distros work - happy to make it work for other distros as well!) .

Link: https://github.com/sh4nks/d2rloader

This loader is heavily inspired by this wonderful powershell script shupershuff/Diablo2Loader. However this script doesn't work on Linux... reason enough to create this :-)

Maybe some of you might also find it useful!

im getting an error "1004" called no data directory when running spore with proton experimental and it makes me unable to start the game.

i found an old solution right here but it's telling me to open a file and search for the part [Software\\Wow6432Node\\electronic arts\\spore] which seemingly doesnt exist in that form anymore in the file they're mentioning

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1c7s9uq/spore_creepy_cute_parts_pack_error_1004/

[Software\\Wow6432Node\\electronic arts\\spore]. i can find where it says "Wow6432Node" but the rest is indecipherable ids after. does anyone know how to progress from here? i really wanna play spore >n<

Every now and then I experience a hang on my 7900xtx. It freezes my screen for 10 or so seconds

Mar 19 10:19:22 desky kwin_wayland[1171]: kwin_wayland_drm: The main thread was hanging temporarily!

I am running Arch Linux with latest packages.

It seems more of a issue when running my oled @ 240hz. But I cannot confirm that, I have downed the hertz to 100hz to see if it comes back

There seems to be some traction with R6 in the last few days and that due to the new update coming to the game. I think its time to remind Ubisoft once again that there are people here that want to play the game on their linux system. I recommend you to either create your own or just upvote the one I created just to bring some more light to it.

There is another post like this from an older date but its been closed and archived.

I am seriously concerned and confused right now. So I just went back into Linux using Kubuntu 24.04 and somehow Steam games have treated me well. Now about my Epic Games, I am using Heroic Launcher as it is the only way to get that working. So far only few games actually worked on this unlike the last time i have tried it about 2 years ago and now both GTA V and Cyberpunk wont work. But now this is what concerns me. So i did workarounds to install VC Redist on the prefix of GTAV since that's where the Rockstar Launcher gets stuck whenever i am trying to run this game (Enhanced Edition) through winetricks. That somehow managed to get the rockstar launcher installation to go through. Just to get greeted with this:

GTA San Andreas?

I dont even own this!? And I tried installing and running this out of curiosity and boy it runs! I dont really understand how and why this happens.

Now my questions are.

1. How do I really get this properly working? I really wanted to run GTA V which i was able to do before

2. Now that I am running this GTA San Andreas I don't even own. Would I get banned at this?

TL;DR, I tried Installing GTA V through Heroic Launcher, I get GTA San Andreas Instead which I don't own.

I just bought Dying Light and I was excited to play it, only to realise that my average FPS is 11-20. The frametimes are also horrible with slowdowns common. I was surprised since I'm reaching about above 30 FPS with stable frame rate and almost non existent slowdowns on Lutris. I'm asking this because I want to use Lutris's Wine GE for steam Compability. Is it possible? I am using Proton-GE 9-26.
