Running dota2 on arch linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 11:08am

I have the following characteristics:

  • Geforce 1050ti 4g- nvidia 560 drivers
  • intel i7 8th
  • RAM 16g
  • Arch linux hyprland
  • steam for linux

I started it through lutris - it didn't help. It seems that everything that is needed has been established. I have Vulkan and Proton.

  1. Dota2 cannot check anti-cheat.
  2. In the settings, there is no option to choose the screen refresh 144 rate. (has 144 in the system configuration and the monitor supports it)
  3. With medium settings, it already lags in the menu.

I used to run it on Kubuntu. Everything worked and everything seemed to be configured the same way. Even managed to set up Throne and Liberty to run via VPN.

Ark Survival Evolved : Missing Game Executable.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 11:06am

So, i've not played Ark SE for a while now. And felt like delving into it once more.

I installed it, and it downloaded instantly... Or at least, i got the "Download complete" message from steam, in less than a second, after hitting the steam "install" button. And THEN it started downloading... But it only downloaded 22.7 Gb.

So, what's the deal ? Am i wrong, in assuming, that it only downloaded the Mods i have for the game, and NOT the game itself?

Which WOULD explain, why i get the message "Missing Game Executable" when trying to launch the damn game?

I'm running Ark SE through steam, on a Nobara 40 OS.

Strange problem... But i see people have experienced similar issues, back in '22... Though, i couldn't find a post that gave an answer to WHY, or how to fix it ?

Hope there's a genius out there who can assist me, with some answers...

I keep having this thought... The Devs got so greedy, and money hungry, that they utterly removed Ark SE files, for their greedy Ark Survival Ascended.

Personal opinion : No way, i'd ever pay for a Mod, unless it's a massive one, that completely overhauls the game.
Quality of Life mods - Should and HAVE to be free... But that's just me !

VAC was unable to verify games session

I am Arch Linux user and play CS2 but I am getting "VAC was unable to verify games session" and I can't find solution for linux. I have verified game files reinstalled CS2 and steam itself. Do you know a solution or redirect me to a solution. That would be great help.

Note: I have played CS2 in my system previously and it suddenly occurred.

How can I change language of games in Lutris?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 8:35am

Long story short, I'm new to Linux. I downloaded Lutris and Cyberpunk. Sadly, it downloaded in English, while I wanted Polish version. Lutris has its hud in Polish and I used it since I bought CP on GoG, not Steam. Within game I cannot change voiceover language. What should I do?

Enumerating and Writing to hidraw devices in Wine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 7:50am

https://preview.redd.it/r94iaf88i1xd1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a9ef92bf7a75a021731a9d593b06bb3ff18868b

I'm successfully playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 from Steam with my Honeycomb Aero Alpha and Bravo with some community addon problems.
Two main problems:
vPilot addon does not recognize button presses on the Alpha to bind the push-to-talk button
The Bravo comes with an addon called AFC_Bridge that reads the simulation state through the SimConnect API and writes feature requests to the USB HID to set lights on the Bravo and is not setting the Bravo lights at all.

Environment:
Kernel: Linux 6.10.13-3-MANJARO
Proton: 1727104926 proton-9.0-3c
Options: {'noopwr', 'forcelgadd'}

Troubleshooting steps taken:
Confirm the devices actually work.
Confirm permissions issues aren't to blame.
Confirm AFC_Bridge is running
Confirm Wine allows direct communication with the HIDs

To confirm that the devices work, I plugged them into a windows device and they worked flawlessly. I also coded up a simple program in rust to manipulate the lights on linux which proves that I can write to the lights directly with native linux applications.

Permissions look good to the hidraws

So permissions look good. Maybe AFC_Bridge isn't running?
no, "ps aux | grep AFC_Bridge.exe "shows that it's running under my username, and the SimConnect inspector within Microsoft Flight Sim's Dev Mode shows that it is sending L:Var data to the bridge. The data just isn't making it from the bridge to the Bravo.
So if permissions looks good, and AFC_Bridge is pulling data from Microsoft Flight Sim, then the issue must be with Wine?
Checking the registry, and changing Enable SDL to 0 and EnableHidraw to my selected devices did not change the outcome.

These registry entries should be allowing hidraws to be directly passed through to wine, right?
Are these programs simply not able to identify these hidraw devices as available HIDs?

I am looking for any advice for where to go from here. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Controllers that have working rumble via dongle connection on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 6:31am

Are there controllers that have 2.4 dongles that work on linux with full features (xbox mode, rumble, dongle + rumble; i'm here for the rumble + dongle feature really) outside the xbox + PS controllers?

I've recently bought a Gamesir Nova Lite for its dongle connectivity (so I just plug and play) but was disappointed by it. Dongle works fine but It had no rumble and it defaults to Android mode when connecting via the dongle on Nobara OS.

I was able to workaround it and have rumble working but via Bluetooth (through NS mode + Xone / XpadNeo), but that's bluetooth again :(

Going back to the title of this post, are there controllers with dongles that have working rumble via its dongle mode on linux (adding xone / xpadneo and related drivers are not a problem)?

If you use GNOME and you try to alt-tab or otherwise switch focus away from a fullscreen game, have you found that you need to do it twice?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 3:55am

This is NOT a tech support thread. Right now I'm just wondering whether I'm the only one who has experienced this in GNOME. I find that in many games I need to switch focus away from them twice if I want to switch to another window. The first one seems to switch focus as far as the DE is concerned, but the game remains on top regardless. It's only after the second time that I select the window I want (whether it's through alt-tabbing or through the overview) that the window I want shows up on top.

If other people have experienced this, then maybe we can share notes on when this happens and see if there are any common elements.

How Good Is Linux for Gaming Nowadays?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 26 Oct 2024 - 1:00am

I've heard we might be entering a "golden era" of gaming on Linux, especially with Microsoft's potential shifts toward integrating anticheats to their own kernel (into Windows). How viable is it to start moving toward Linux as a primary gaming OS? I’ve always used Windows but I do work with Linux, so I have some familiarity with it (not an expert though). I'd love to hear how compatible it is these days with mainstream games (e.g., Valorant – I know it’s a no-go for now –, COD: BO6, Apex, Space Marines, Elden Ring, that kind of stuff). I know the Steam Deck has pushed the market to adapt more to Linux, but I'm unsure how complex the setup and maintenance still are for gaming.

For games that can’t run on Linux, I’m also thinking of dual-booting with two partitions on my NVMe drive, one for Linux and one for Windows, and using Linux for daily stuff. Could anyone share experiences or advice on this? Also, how tough is it to get drives to work across both OSes? I have two HDDs and another SSD, all in Windows format – would I need to reformat them?

Thanks a lot for reading and for any insights you can share!

The Finals issue...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Oct 2024 - 11:15pm

So multiple installs later I've noticed a reaccuring issue.. Running The Finals with steam (runtime) with either proton bleeding edge or the latest GloriousEggrole 9-16 causes the game to crash.. It seems to randomly just work occasionally but I know it can't be random..

When I run the game with the flatpak version of steam with GE 9-16 or bleeding edge proton it works 100% of the time.. What's up with this behaviour? Shouldn't it be the same?

My system specs:

Ryzen 7 7700 and RX 6800 XT

I was on BTRFS but I had issues with that file system so I'm back on EXT4.. Seemingly the same issues.

Running Arch Linux with latest kernal. Same issue with the latest Linux-tkg kernal.

If I need to continue to keep flatpak steam installed to play The Finals then so be it... But I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue.

[openSUSE tumbleweed/KDE plasma]For protontricks winetricks: Getting "unknown file arch: 65" twice after selecting a game to modify

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Oct 2024 - 11:04pm

I tried reinstalling protontricks and winetricks to no avail. I read via google that it can be dismissed without concern. But I might want to fix it or at least understand what's going wrong. Any help? (Oh I also get the warnings for using the 64 bit version and the corresponding disclaimers)

Also I had like game icons in the game selection, but that is missing for a couple of releases.

Experiencing weird kind of stutter after playing for ~40 minutes at a time

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Oct 2024 - 10:29pm

frametime spikes I encounter, when moving my mouse

system utilization during the problem

Hello everyone,

since a while now I am experiencing some kind of weird stutter/lag when I play any* Steam (Proton?) game for a longer period of time (~30-40 minutes). The lag only occurs when I move my mouse.

* Supermarket Together, Baldur's Gate 3 (in vulkan), Nodebuster

Some Information about my System:

  • Fedora 40 with the CachyOS Kernel (6.11.5-cb1.0.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit))
  • 32GB Ram
  • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
  • Radeon RX 6800 (16GB VRAM)
  • Polling rate of the Mouse: 1 kHz
  • KDE Plasma on Wayland
  • feel free to ask for more information if I forgot something

Things I tried so far:

  • change proton version between Proton Experimental, Proton-GE, Proton 9
    • For any reason non steam games, that run on Wine do not have this issue
  • disable shader cache
  • disable steam overlay
  • disable mangohud
  • change cpu-scheduler (bore, rusty)
  • change frequency governor performance <-> ondemand
