For the past 3 days I have been trying to open Proton DB website to check Black Desert and now Expedition 33, luckily Black Desert works again after a patch 2 weeks ago screwed it up, that or kernel since I went from 6.16 to 6.18. Just got Expedition 33 today and it's one of the most played games on Steam Deck so I know it should work but I'd like to 100% know by checking a fking site... so my question is- is the site down?

Edit: As someone else said, Proton DB has blocked several countries in the past weeks. I assume Canada was part of those countries. Solved with the help of BetaVersionBY. 😊

Hi all, newb here so go gentle please! I'm trying to set up my 8bitdo Arcade Stick to work in Arch and having some issues. It works fine via bluetooth and wired, but not with the 2.4ghz dongle. I've used Windows to update firmware on the stick (no update was available for the dongle) but no change. Dmesg recognizes the device is connected but I think it doesn't know what to do with it:

[ 1205.611310] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 74 using xhci_hcd [ 1205.765795] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=028e, bcdDevice= 1.14 [ 1205.765799] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1205.765801] usb 3-1: Product: Controller [ 1205.765803] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: 8BitDo [ 1205.765805] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: [REDACTED]

Udev rules appear to be in place correctly, but I know little to nothing about this area so correct me if I'm wrong:

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/71-8bitdo-controllers.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8BitDo Arcade Stick", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1", TAG+="uaccess"

This is all while using the stick in xinput mode. I've tried installing xpadneo-dkms but no change. All ideas welcome, thanks!

Witcher 2 can't progress past installing Visual C++ Redistributable in either Steam, Heroic (GOG) or Lutris (GOG)?

Here is the copy/paste from Lutris: https://www.codedump.xyz/csharp/aNAl8YNa0w-fVFMs

And here is the copy/paste from console for Steam: https://www.codedump.xyz/csharp/aNAmGINa0w-fVFMt

Also, native isn't reliable as sometimes it isn't starting as it gives the error: could not find any usable display modes

And when it runs native I can't choose or force an ultra wide resolution, only standard resolutions can be played but on Windows I can run the game at 2560×1080.

EDIT: ProtonDB offers no help on this matter.

I installed the game via heroic game launcher and it won't load the graphics all the way. I have the settings default and installed wine before launching it. Any help would be great!

Hi all,

I have made multiple attempts to make Fallout 4 run on my Linux Mint machine but it always freezes up at this loading screen after attempting to load an old game and start a new one:

I am using SteamTinkerLaunch under Proton 9.04f, I have also tried using Glorious Eggroll plus MangoHUD but that only results in the game launching then failing to initialize. I have attempted this both unmodded and using the following stability mods:

What is especially confusing is I've found lots of advice saying Fallout 4 with Steam works just fine out of the box and I've been able to get New Vegas to work unmodded and just using Steam Tinker Launch without any problems. What can I do to make F4 work?

I note that the AMD website offers official .deb and .rpm installers. Whereas Nvidia justs offers a .run file with which I have no idea what I would do with anyways.

Yes yes, I'm aware that the correct way to install any of them is via whatever package manager you're using. But I assume the above does indicate some level of how much each respective manufacturer seems to care?

Hello,

I have a gaming laptop that can't run windows 11 so I am forced to move to Linux. I have always used windows and want to know a few things:

1. Is Linux good for gaming? Are all games supported, I use mostly Steam games, and VR games.
2. Which distro should I install, I have intel CPU and Nvidea GPU if it helps. I dont understand this part of Linux well!
3. I like to play stream the game in my quest 3 through Virtual desktop, but I heard it is unsupported on Linux, any other way to do it?

Thank you for your assistance, have a great day!

PS: Might be useful, so I put it here I use quest3 and the specs are Intel Core i7-7700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

im playing genshin via bottles with soda 9.0.1

i noticed it often disconnects me from the game almost immediately once wifi is a bit bad, but it doesnt load or waits for connection to come back it just kicks me, on my w10 laptop and ipad with the same wifi it doesnt do that and if wifi is a bit bad it loads first

idk if thats a linux issue or not cuz EVERY other game that needs wifi, like wuwa works without ever disconnecting me

Hi all I hope it's ok to ask this question here!
Basically I am saving up for a new laptop, for both productivity and some low-mid tier gaming... I don't need a monster machine! I'm sick of Windows and want Linux to be my daily driver, although I am gonna need a dual boot setup for some (music) software. I've done a bit of preliminary research looking for AMD based laptops but it seems they are barely a thing? At least where GPU is concerned anyway. Does anyone here have any recommendations? I've not bought new hardware in a while and haven't kept up with what's good, and finding trustworthy review/recommendation websites these days is a nightmare. Should I just give up on having an AMD machine and get an Nvidia one? Does it actually matter that much? (I heard AMD drivers are way better on Linux).
Any input appreciated, even if it's just to point me at a specific brand/retailer. Also for reference I am looking to spend about £1000 but could maybe a go a bit higher if it's worth it...

Hi all,

I had a lot of issues getting RDR2 to work, but after many hours I actually got it to start, so I'm just sharing what turned out to be my issue here for posterity.

I initially used Lutris, but then moved to running umu-run directly to try and get some debug logs and figure out why it wasn't starting. So after figuring out I could add PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" to get some logs, I came up with a command like this that still failed:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/umu/rdr2" PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" PROTONPATH="/home/foo/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/GE-Proton10-15/" UMU_LOG=debug PROTON_VERB=waitforexitandrun umu-run /disk/lutris/RDR2/Launcher.exe

I then looked in my home directory and found steam-0.log which contained lines like:

6243.811:014c:0150:err:module:import_dll Library vulkan-1.dll (which is needed by L"S:\\lutris\\RDR2\\amd_ags_x64.dll") not found 6243.883:014c:0150:err:module:import_dll Library vulkan-1.dll (which is needed by L"S:\\lutris\\RDR2\\ffx_fsr2_api_vk_x64.dll") not found

So, it finally turned out that if I added WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=b" ("b" for built-in) as an env variable, it forces Wine to use the built-in vulkan-1.dll which is some kind of forwarder to the host libvulkan.so.1, which exist because I installed them via apt.

So as I understand it:

• The game asks for vulkan-1.dll
• For some reason, Wine tries native, which is missing
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES forces it to use winevulkan.
• winevulkan forwards to libvulkan.so.1

So the final working command was:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=b" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/umu/rdr2" PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" PROTONPATH="/home/foo/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/GE-Proton10-15/" UMU_LOG=debug PROTON_VERB=waitforexitandrun umu-run /disk/lutris/RDR2/Launcher.exe

Hopefully this helps someone.

edit: the Lutris equivalent for this override is to use Lutris "Runner Options", "DLL overrides" and then add key vulkan-1 with value b

I previously posted about my pokemon save backup. I've tweaked and improved it (with some AI assistance). and wanted to share in case anyone want to use it themselves.

Link: https://github.com/Bl1ndBeholder/dotfiles/blob/main/scripts/pokemon-backup

• Save in ~/.local/bin
• chmod +x pokemon-backup

How it works:

• The pokemon save is copied from it's default path to my save-backup directory, in the format of ddmmyyyyhhmm.sav
• EG: ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/emerald/210920251530.sav
• if no change has been made to the save file since the script was last ran, nothing is copied (This prevents duplicate save backups)
• my save-backup directory is the pushed to github
• Backs up saves for these emulators. mGBA, melonDS, Dolphin-emu and Azahar
• Gives me backups for generation 1-7 (I may add the switch games at a later date, but no plans of replaying them yet).

Anyone is free to use my script (If there are any avid pokemon/emulator fans here). just bear in mind, this script is taylored to my file system, you may have to tweak the script to match yours, or move your files around to match the script.

Anyone is free to use my pokemon-saves repository - it could be ideal for content creators who need a snapshot of a specific game section.

please note for mGBA and melonDS, the save file must match the rom name. EG: if you have Pokemon-Emerald.gba your save needs to be named Pokemon-Emerald.sav

For 3DS, the save must be placed in the game's save path. and must be re-named "main

I'm really happy with this result.

I love Linux but a missing feature I have is the simplicity of mass modding a game by adding a collection of mods from Nexus mods. Is this even possible? I was told my by distros (bazzite) documentation to use steam tinker launch but I haven't found a good tutorial for it and tried following the GitHub but haven't figured it out.

It beats being on windows but it is missed how easy it was to mod certain games. I know theyre making a unofficial beta vortex manager on Linux looking forward to it.
