Hey FOSS lovers!!

Long time no see. I'm a solo dev and I've been working on several indie games, but my biggest project remains City Game it and I'm open to feedback, for real folks.

It works on Linux like a charm, made with a custom version of Godot 2.1 (it's reliable and runs everywhere). About the game, it's like Game Dev Tycoon but deeper. You can have several studios working together or on different projects. And if you don't want to bother managing them, then you can hire a studio director that will handle them (they take their share though).

There is a lot to say about the game. There are competitors that make games and consoles (you can choose to follow history or let your competitors make games before 2025). You can build, furnish, poach employees, crack games or simply watch all the bubbles moving around (it's hypnotic at some point).

Trailer

I'm here to answer your questions, either about the game or making games IRL.

Thank you Xavier aka Binogure

Edit Its 53% off not 45%... Sorry

Until recently when I had to reinstall CachyOS, I managed to make Lossless Scaling (with x2 Multiplier frames mostly for YouTube/movies - i liked the "smooth" motion effect and the input lag wasn't that bad) on CachyBrowser (I know it's deprecated but I used extensions for passwords) but now it doesn't work anymore because of the reinstall. To make it work, I had to force the browser to run on Vulkan instead of WebRender and I forced it to run with Nvidia instead of Intel gpu. LS is set up correctly (it works on games) but I can't manage to make it work on either Firefox or CachyBrowser. I'm on Wayland KDE Plasma. Already tried setting the browser on X11 but still not generating the frames, and neither Firefox or CachyBrowser showup in lsfg-vk-ui as processes, so here's the problem.

These are the env variables I ran in the past for CachyBrowser that used to work.

env WAYLAND_DISPLAY="disable_wayland_now" \

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 \

XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 \

GDK_BACKEND=x11 \

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 \

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia \

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/liblsfg-vk.so \

VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=VK_LAYER_LS_frame_generation \

ENABLE_LSFG=1 \

MOZ_DISABLE_GPU_SANDBOX=1 \

MOZ_DISABLE_CONTENT_SANDBOX=1 \

prime-run firefox --ozone-platform=x11 --use-vulkan --ignore-gpu-blocklist

What else to try?

I've been toying around getting the old native port of Psychonauts 1 to play again, I know it's easier to emulate, but I found it a fascinating detective challenge.

After a lot of fiddling around with Gamescope, I have found out that in order to make 4:3 games run pillarboxed on KDE, I have to supply the --force-composition parameter. The full gamescope command is thus:

/usr/bin/gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f --force-composition -- Psychonauts

Fluorine Manager serves as a port of Mod Organizer 2, yes I'm currently in the progress of updating the readme. There is a quickstart guide in the Wiki tab also a WIP. Below is the changelog.

This is a huge release and update compared to the last release that was out. Biggest change is that it is no longer based on a flatpak, it is now setup and designed to run like MO2 was.

The VFS based on FUSE has been improved a lot, mainly on bigger lists with 1k+ mods. Before the VFS would take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to launch the game if your modlist contained more than a thousand mods. This has been improved at least in my local testing from 25 minutes to 1 minute and 45 seconds. Other users report similar improvements in discord as well.

Loot has been built and now has an appimage the sort button will download and load your modlist, the loot build is still being worked on so you might encounter a few issues.

A browse VFS function has been added to the data tab, this will lock MO2 and mount the VFS and open your file browser. This gives you an easy way to view all the mods as if they were "mounted" when you are playing the game.

UMU has been removed for now as it was causing issue with GOG/Epic versions of games, it might be readded some point in the future but it is gone for now.

Steam integration has been added as a toggle in the instance manager. This is to also fix issues with GOG/Epic versions of games.

There is also a few more logging improvements if you run the application in your terminal that being the fluorine-manager.

FOMOD Plus has been added, I'm looking to port other plugins if possible.

Reduced build size by changing the python handler as well down about 75-80MBs.

And as a final note, thank you to everyone who helped test this on github and on discord. ❤️

Hey everyone, this is more of a rant than a request for help, because at this point I honestly don’t expect to fix anything.

I’ve been dealing with a really frustrating issue that seems to pop up in several games I play. The bug happens on both Wayland and Xorg, so it’s not specific to one display server.

One of the main culprits seems to be Sober Runtime (yea i like to play some games sorry), where I’ve never really been able to fix it. But the problem isn’t limited to that.. other games have been affected too, and sometimes I feel like I literally bought the games for nothing, because in the end I can’t even play them with Gamescope.

I’ve tried every parameter related to mouse grabbing, but none of them work properly. Sometimes they work partially, sometimes only temporarily, and sometimes they even make things worse. Oddly enough, some games don’t have this bug at all, like WorldBox, Among Us, and a few others, because they don’t lock the mouse.

My original goal was simple: just to lower the resolution in heavier games to reduce bottlenecks. I wasn’t using it constantly in games like WorldBox or Among Us, sometimes just for upscaling.

At this point, I think this may be one of the reasons I’m seriously considering going back to Windows… because at least there I could play my games without dealing with this kind of nonsense.

But, even I have said that I don't expect for fixes, I wouls like if anyone could give me a tip or anything else.

Edit: I'm using Fedora LXQt, but I were using Fedora Workstation and Fedora KDE before.

I installed PopOS 24.04 LTS to play games and run Nvidia Issac Sim and ROS for personal projects.

All games would launch flawlessly before but suddenly they stopped working: When I click the 'play' button it says it is launching and then goes back to 'play', I am pretty sure the games never launch. I recently also installed HOMM3 using lutris and wine and managed to get that to run.

Prior troubleshooting steps
- I installed steam with the .deb file, but I tried the flatpak version and had the same issue.
- I reinstalled my games on an etx4 drive (they were on ntfs) and it still doesn't work
- I tried to apt update/upgrade and it still doesn't work.

Please don't tell me to install Fedora or CachyOS.

I’m looking at getting back into PCVR again and am curious as to what people’s experiences have been like.

Can AMD FSR be used on Linux apps (Flatpak, specifically) that aren’t running through Proton? If yes, how to make use of it? I have no idea how to use features like... the one that's similar to DLSS. I guess it is called FSR upscaling. 😅

Specs:

T14 gen 2

R7 5850u

32 GB RAM 3200 (dual channel)

512 GB NVME (Only 260 for the Linux partition)

So, a few days ago I created a dual boot on Linux Mint to separate my work from my personal life.

I've already tested some games and managed to get them running normally.

For example, Beyond: Two Souls, satisfactory, and another one that I don't remember.

Then I decided to download Atomic Heart to play on my notebook and it "started" normally running on Proton 10, but after a few seconds it simply shut down my notebook.

This had already happened before with Two Souls, so I tested the ideal Protons to run it and managed to do it without problems.

The problem is that after that my Mint started showing some errors, simply shutting down by itself, sometimes the screen going black and freezing the system simply by restarting the device.

I ended up fixing it. The GRUB boot menu uses the AMD drivers and that problem has stopped; it's not shutting down on its own or anything like that.

But now, regardless of which Proton I try to launch through Steam, Atomic Heart simply doesn't appear. Steam indicates that it tried to launch, then the Start button reappears.

At the same time, I can still play other games, like Satisfactory, which still opens normally.

So, I've had two 4K displays on my desktop for some time and the one thing that drives me crazy if I enabled Gnome's fractional scaling, to say 125% to make it bearable on the desktop it then runs games in a crazy native resolution e.g. 6144 x 3456 - which is 4K divided by the scale (1.25) and then times by 2 - not sure why!

125% scaling and weird resolutions

It seems to be down to XWayland, as when I run using Proton-GE and force Wayland using PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 the issue isn't present.

Which got me looking at the scaling options for XWayland. Turns out if I set xwayland-scaling-factor to the same scale (1.25) now my games only go up to my native resolution.

125% scaling but no weird resolutions

Valve released a fresh update to Proton Experimental for March 13th that bring numerous fixes to various games - here's all the details you need to know.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a German Linux gaming Discord with me. I’d love to build a community where we can share games, tips, and just have fun. If you’re down, let me know, and we can get it rolling!

My specs:
GPU - 9060 xt 16gb
CPU - ryzen 9 5900xt
RAM - 48gb - 2 16gb + 2 8gb - running at 2666mhz because that's the max my processor takes at 4 sticks of ram, with just 32gb it gets up to 3200mhz
Got plenty of storage too and plenty to spare (4.2tb)
Fedora KDE 43 on dual boot with W11, tried with mint too, my previous distro of choice. I didn't adapt well to CachyOS so didn't even try it with these games.

I noticed that in two games specifically, my fps just absolutely FAINTS compared to W11:
Cities Skylines 1
Path of Titans

In Path of Titans i managed to narrow down the main culprits to be shadows and animation quality in the game settings, which makes the game considerably look worse. Fps and stability still considerably lower than windows 11, but lowering these two settings helped.
In Cities Skylines 1 i didn't really mess with the settings, but i've begun to notice severe frame drops on my 8k people city, which should not happen. In the past i got a fully maxed out vanilla city, including squares, every single inch of it built upon, on a significantly worse configuration (i5 9600kf - 32gb of ram at 2666mhz- 1050 ti) but on windows 10 at the time.

My guess would be the proton version i'm using or just some other thing, any guesses or help?
