Does anyone here play Minetest and if so how do you change your character skin

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 14 Stunden 22 Minuten

I'm playing the Minecraft clone for Linux known as Minetest. I really like it but it's saying that if I want to change the character skin, I need "player_api" from Github. As a Linux newbie I've never really learned how to use github. Here's the page:

https://github.com/minetest-game/player_api

The problem is that there's no "download" button that just gives you all the necessary files. And from there you just put them into the "mods" folder. There appears to be a bunch of different files you can download, but which ones? It's kind of a convoluted mess, which tends to be my experience with Github.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

New to Linux! Couple frustrations I hope people can help me out with.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 14 Stunden 51 Minuten

So, I have always been an avid Windows user, but, I decided to try Linux and go full into it. I am using Pop!_OS with the Nvidia drivers as I have a 4090.

I installed Steam via the Pop shop and I am using proton.

I have a few issues I hope some people can help me with?

  1. I have tried a few proton games and the audio stutters every few seconds when moving around, like, it cuts out for around 200ms, as if its struggling, so it sounds choppy. Any idea why this is happening? I am using audio out of my monitor through Nvidia HDMI (I have speakers plugged into the aux on my monitor).

  2. I have a PS5 controller, I use DS4Windows on windows to emulate a PS4 controller. I know Steam has Steam input to register my PS5 controller as a Xbox controller, but some games, I need the touchpad so I want to emulate a PS4 controller, whats the best way to do this on Linux?

Plasma Wayland HDR crashing with AMD gpu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 15 Stunden 43 Minuten

I am on Arch/EndeavourOS with an AMD 6800xt GPU/5800x3d CPU running plasma 6 wayland.

The command I use to run steam games (Proton-GE) is

DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope -e -f -r 120 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output -- env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command%

This works perfectly for Baldur's Gate 3, which I run on HDR. However both Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn crash when I try to enable HDR in their settings for some reason. No Man's Sky runs but has cursor accelerations issues which I suspect is more of a gamescope concern if anything.

Has anyone managed to run Death Stranding or Zero Dawn with HDR though? Am I doing something wrong?

Second storage location for bazzite

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 16 Stunden 4 Minuten

I’m running Bazzite. I’d like to put some of my games on the boot drive, and some on a second partition.

How do I do this? When I tried to add the second location bazzite didn’t seem to see it. Is there a special path or something?

Thanks in advance!

Creating game backups on steam with the flatpak version

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 16 Stunden 19 Minuten

I'm troubleshooting a problem that I am almost certain can be circumvented by having a game backup, however the flatpak steam seems to be unable to make a backup. I'm on pop_os, and i would like *any* method of having a working backup that I can use. I tried putting it in my / directory since that was the only one that I could access that wasn't invalid, however when trying to restore it, it didn't accept that as a directory. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

CS2 Stretch Res

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 16 Stunden 43 Minuten

Hello, I am trying to run 1920x1440 stretched res on CS2 on my 2560x1440 monitor. I'm running NixOS with Gnome under X11 using an RTX 3070.

I tried gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -w 1920 -h 1440 -S stretch -f in the launch options but it just made it 1920x1440, with a big black bar on the right of the screen, not stretched.

Ideally I would like to not have to make my whole pc resolution 1920x1440.

New to linux, need a little direction.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 16 Stunden 48 Minuten

I'm dead set on going for debian. I followed some youtube videos on how to do things, failed alot already. What I wanna know is the logic of playing Bethesda games on lutris with mods. The first time I tried Fallout new vegas worked well on its own through lutris, but nexus wouldn't "play" at all. If you guys have any tips, or can tell me any places I can go to get info myself would be much obliged.

GTA IV freezing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 22:59

Everything worked well until this part. When this error message pops up I just click the esc key to exit this social club thing but then it completely freezed. My laptop has very low specs so maybe what's causing the issue ? (4gb ram, intel hd graphics 500, intel celeron N3350 2.4ghz) i use openSUSE leap 15.5 and for gta i used proton 8.0-5.

How can I use my Dualsense in Bottles without it being recognized as an Xbox controller?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 22:31

Hi everyone!

I am running a Dualsense controller in an Ubuntu based distro. I have tried all the different runners Bottles offers, such as Soda and Wine Proton GE versions, but they all seem to create a virtual Xbox controller inside the containers (bottles) using my Dualsense input (just like DS4Windows would do in a Windows installation) which ends up showing Xbox prompts instead of PS5 ones.

This also means the special Dualsense haptics supported games is absent.

Do you know if there is any way to actually passthrough the native input to the games ran under Bottles, since the Dualsense has proper drivers for Linux in the kernel already? Please don't suggest running the games under Steam/Steam Input since that is not a solution for the haptics, this is an issue regarding GOG DRM-free games licensed by Playstation, which do support the haptics.

Thanks

Do read-only file system drive increase in-game performances for linux ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 21:26

Hi, i recently heard of read-only file system, that it increases the performances and the security for the system, but i am wondering :

For gaming : I know that for example it can help to boot the system faster, but can it make the loading speed faster in-game ?

And can it also increase the performances, so with better FPS ?

And for those who use it, is it worth it ? Is there any disadvantages ?

Steam Infinite Loading

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 21:06

So I'm on Debian 12 stable and I downloaded steam through the official .deb on valve's website. And I keep having this problem that I never had before. Seemingly at random, steam will take a while to Log into my account, then apparently fail and ask me to sign in. Only to then sign in automatically despite me doing nothing. And then the main client itself will just load forever. Any ideas? Sometimes killing the process and opening steam again fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't
