Fallout 76 was booting fine, now black screens and closes

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Mai 2024 - 02:50

Hey all!

So, I've been having an issue with Fallout 76.

I played years ago at launch, and gave it up at about 150 hours. Recently, as many others have done, I came back due to the Fallout show, and my love of MMOs/ORPGs.

Ive been playing for about two weeks with no issues. However, as of two days ago, I haven't been able to boot the game. Relevant info will be placed below.

Orinigally, I thought it was a WINE/PROTON issue (see screenshot), but after a reinstall (and manually deleting the prefix), it would open to a black screen only with no audio. After a bit of tweaking and a reinstall (again), the game would boot to the main menu, but crash on trying to enter a world. Finally, I reinstalled one more time, and now it boots to a black screen for about a half a second before a CTD.

I have done the usual TS steps, including changing iPresentInterval=1 to iPresentInterval=0

Distro: Garuda Linux CPU: i9 9900k GPU: AMD 7900XTX Proton version: Several used

If I've missed anything, let me know. It's highly frustrating, as I'm not having these issues with any other title. The suddeness is also a bit jarring.

I've been linux gaming for a few years now exclusively, so I'm no stranger to weird things needing to be tweaked.

Thanks all!

Issue is beeing discussed on Apex issue thread on Proton Github, I´'m curious if for some Game is working fine.

Just a reminder

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Mai 2024 - 00:52

I see a significant number of people on linux subreddits and protondb reports running something like Linux Mint for gaming.

IMO, if you're a person that often games on your PC, running the latest drivers and kernel is a must. Otherwise you're just asking for trouble.

Linux gaming is developing rapidly, and using a kernel or drivers from 19 months ago, is just asking for compatibility and stability issues.

There is a reason that all of the "gaming" distros run latest kernel and drivers.

That's all, hope this helps someone.

Overwatch 2 on Arch crashes after 30 seconds from launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Mai 2024 - 00:10

Hello. I've recently switched from Fedora to Arch (I use arch btw), and I've discovered that Overwatch crashes around 30 seconds from launch, making you unable to play the game at all. The game works perfectly on Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc, and Arch is the only distro I've heard that has this problem. I've read about others who've had this same problem, but none of them have found a solution. Does anyone here have any clue on what can be causing this problem? Thanks.

Proton refuses to launch games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 23:35

I am running Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute Hippo. I have Steam Play enabled for all titles and am trying to play the Hades II Early Access, but when I press play steam enters "playing" status for a second, and then closes the game. There's no black screen or any pop-up of the game. I tried to run a simpler game with proton, Downwell, and it had the same behaviour. I have tried different versions of proton, but all give me the same results. I was able to play Downwell with <wine Downwell.exe>, but couldn't make it work with steam

I have ran both games with launch option <PROTON\_LOG=1 %*command*%>, I'll paste the following logs for both games

How is VR doing with linux lately?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 23:32

My main hurdle from going 100% linux is VR support.

Last I heard it was very flaky across the board. But that was a while ago.

How is it doing now? What devices and distros work best with it?

Does the quest 2/3 work at all and wireless, wired or both?

Does it work well enough on nvidia gpus? And which gpu manufacturer does it run best on?

In short, how do you get the best vr experience on linux?

Bind mouse movement to controller input

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 23:23

I'm trying to play Xcloud using my keyboard and mouse, so I installed input-remapper. However, only the side-to-side axis (ABS_RX) does anything. I am willing to move to a different program if I can't fix input-remapper.

Aside from gaming, what's a good distro that would also work for game development? Software I use included below

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 23:17

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a distro that will serve me for both gaming and game dev. I want to challenge myself to try Linux for a few months and if I like it maybe even switch to it. I originally started with Ubuntu primarily because I know it's one of the most popular distros and almost always tends to be supported by software

The problem is that I've already ran into two major issues. The first being that I can't even get Unity to run and even the only workaround I found only partially works and Unity inevitably crashes at some point.

Second is that I almost exclusively use Steam because I also have a SteamDeck but all versions of Steam that I've been able to download have had issues with the main one being that it refuses to open back up after it closes unless I reboot the whole PC.

I know that Linux isn't exactly smooth sailing, I've used it before in college but I was at least hoping for a smooth-ish setup. Given that I just started using Linux like literally 2 weeks ago and don't have a whole lot of data on this install, I don't mind giving another distro a try plus it might be a good experience to try a distro other than the mainstream one

The main software I would expect to work is:

  • Unity
  • VSCode (i'm open to other text editors though)
  • Unreal Engine (this one isn't as much of a necessity bc the Epic Launcher doesn't support Linux which I prefer to use to Manager UE and assets so I'd likely stick to Windows for this)
  • Steam
  • Not software but I do have an nvidia rtx 30 series GPU so a distro that won't be too much of a nightmare with nvidia would be nice lol

Other software that I use but isn't as important or that I know won't have issues running on Linux:

  • Spotify
  • Godot
  • Blender
  • Audacity

As far as games go I can't really give specifics for what I play, I usually try out games that my friends are playing at the moment and their taste changes all the time so I can't exactly pinpoint to specific games or genres that I play

All games crash after updating my system, Arch Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 22:25

Hello,

After a recent update to my system, it seems that all games that use Vulkan crash after a few seconds.

Battlefield 1 crashes seconds after the game window pops up.

Doom Eternal crashes right after the splash screen (as it's about to go to the menu)

Red Dead Redemption 2, interestingly enough, either crashes while I'm loading into the game, or it very rarely loads in, and there's BIG graphical glitches, lights flashing, etc.

However, other games, particularly older ones, like Call of Juarez, seem to work fine.

My guess is that this must be some sort of graphics driver issue. I'm using an AMD 5700 XT with a Ryzen 5 3600.

Should I downgrade my video drivers? How would I go about doing that? Is it possible that all these crashes are just coincidental? Could it be something else wrong with my system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After installing nVidia Driver and logging in in KDE(debian 12), I get this black screen. Any way to solve it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 21:47

Black screen

installed like they recommended in wiki. Installed the headers, added contrib non-free and non-freer-firmware in /etc/apt/sources.list. The driver installed without any error, the nvidia settings can even be loaded after intalling, but when I reboot the system and log in, this happens. No key works. I can't type anything. Can't do anything. Any way to solve it?

The main reason why I use Debian is simple. My lucky stats is really low IRL. IF things can go wrong, they go wrong.I also tried the Debian 11 but the driver fails to load in kernel every time that I tried to install.

How's the intel Arc A310 and what about vsync?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Mai 2024 - 21:36

Hi,

for a small PC (only capable of GPU's up to a length of 22.5 cm) and only 300 Watts power I could get the intel Arc A310 GPU.

My question is: Does anyone have experience with the Intel Arc A310 GPU running Ubuntu (24 or 22)?

And what about vsync with the intel gpu using Ubuntu?

So far I only know Nvidia and AMD and how they handle vsync.

I don't have a Gsync/Freesync monitor btw.

As an alternative I could get the GT 1030 by Nvidia.

Its not possible to get a bigger PC Case as this is for a pc in a tiny house, they have to look for space :)
