GTA V (Non-Steam) no mouse cursor in the Social Club menu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2024 - 02:45

Hello. I am running the Rockstar Games Launcher and GTA V in Lutris.

Installation went without issues and the game runs very well under Lutris. Even GTA Online works well. There is just the small issue that when I press the HOME key to open the Social Club menu that my mouse cursor seems to be invisible. If I click randomly I can sort of interact with the Social Club menu.

This problem only occurs in the Social Club menu. The GTA menu opened with ESC works fine and I see my mouse cursor.

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this and how to fix it? I suspect that the wine prefix where Rockstar Ganes Launcher and GTA V is installed is missing certain Windows DLLs but I don't know which DLLs are missing since neither Rockstar Games Launch nor GTA V report any errors. Visual C++ and DirectX are installed.

I purchased GTA V directly from Rockstar Games so I'm not running it with Proton.

Using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma Wayland.

Steam deck, resolution problems, in new Vegas

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Mai 2024 - 02:39

When I installed vortex mod manager to GitHub, it made my resolution smaller than the screen. How do I go into the Files manually and change that? I cannot access the startup screen to change the resolution that way

Error in Proton makes the game in Tekken 8 feel like it's underwater

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 23:10

Hello, I'm experiencing this error in some random matches, and it's quite frustrating. I only encounter it in SOME matches, like 1 in every 5-8 full matches, both offline and online, so is not an internet issue.

I don't have any issues on Windows.

I've tried using Proton GE, experimental, and hotfix. I've tried logging and for now the only error it gives me is the following:

11670.036:00cc:00d0:err:x11drv:X11DRV_GetCurrentDisplaySettings Failed to get L"\\\\.\\DISPLAY2" current display settings.

What can I do to resolve this? I'm using POP.os.

If you need more logs, ask me!

Should I ditch windows on my laptop?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 22:48

Hi everyone,

I have a Preditor Hellios 300 that I have been running windows alongside Xubuntu and a custom built desktop computer running windows alongside Ubuntu.So far excluding the addition of Snaps, I absolutely love my experience so far. I feel like it's everything windows should be.

Should I make the jump and delete windows from my laptop and only keep it on my desktop for emergencies? I do game on windows, but 99% of my games run on Linux. I also use discord and I do screen share a lot when I use, so having audio when doing so is key. Should I delete windows off of my second hardrive on my laptop?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 22:13

I have a 4090 and two monitors of different refresh rates and the couple of recent times I've tried switching from Windows to a distro running Wayland it hasn't been a good experience, but I was told that a driver update in May would fix everything.

Dual PC streaming, and some video game problems, hardware questions, advice needed (Ubuntu)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 21:35

Hi everyone! I'm just lookin for some advice and get some answers for some questions I have had while gaming on Linux! Firstly I want to put some details down, I am using a Blue Yeti microphone through a Scarlett Focusrite 4i4 USB-C connector I have my game audio going from my gaming PC into my secondary system via the 3.5mm jacks on the back of the Mobo. The software im using for the routing is a Linux, user maintained, project to get Focusrite hardware functionality Alsa-Scarlett. Corsair Keyboard and Corsair Mouse.

Firstly,

I wanted to get my VR headset back up and running here and do some more streaming again within VR, I have moved over to a dual PC streaming some time a go but never really took a plunge into Linux (Ubuntu) until more recently. I didn't really do much more research into beyond that, figuring any problems I did have I could sort out my self and have done so successfully on many occasions. But now that I want to get the 2nd Dual PC mode going again I have had trouble trying to get my microphone to pick up on the secondary PC, I've been trying to push it through the HDMI like i have done on windows

ie.) On Windows I could just say "Listen to this device > Elgato 4K60FPS" and I had my microphone output, but I am finding it much harder to get this to work on Linux. If anyone has any advice on this on how to get it to properly work, or at least point me in the right direction that would be great! Thank you!

Secondly,

I have noticed in some games I can not get my microphone to output (I'm looking at you ArmA Reforger), I have looked into plugins the server is using and I'm not finding anything that would require a connection to TS3, Vent, or Discord to get it to work (ArmA problems). I have tried using Helvum to route my microphone into the game, Reforger specifically requires settings to be set up in Steam, and it takes your inputs via steam, but it does nothing for me. Curious if anyone has found a solution to this yet, or maybe not.

Thirdly,

Some of my hardware such as my keyboard and mouse do not have the full functionality it does on Windows, such as the M4, M5 buttons on my Corsair mouse, curious if anyone has any suggestions would love to keep using it but I have no issues in switching my stuff (Was thinking of the MechanicalKeyboards website for the next keyboard). Also if anyone has any opinions on my sound set up, the Scarlett Focusrite and has a more Linux friendlier device that has the same amount of inputs I would be open to suggestions as well.

ps. I hope I did this right I have a track record of getting modded off a forum because the rules aren't the best at being written out.

Linux for gaming or just windows?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 20:27

So i know this has been posted more than 50 times but i am gonna ask again :p. I love working whit the linux terminal and getting games to work by tweaking and installing libraries and such, it just feels as if i am playing another game lol its so entertaining. I like the heavy amount of free games that are actually games for linux. I used to play on ubuntu and such and it was just fine but mostly i was a dkhead kid who didnt know too much about linux and now i ended up using a modified version of windows. Theres been sometimes where you can just NOT run some games because of the libraries and functions that were removed or modified leaving it impossible to know whats happening because of the useless windows errors that only have this 0x000000c7/8/9/infinite error messages. It could be a very little thing that linux would actually tell you via terminal but windows wont. However overall i am having a good experience whit the system since i only play few things like 9th dawn, baldurs gate 1&2, falllout new vegas and psp games like phantasy star.

  • ¿Should i switch?, the fact that i had to download a modded windows for it to run just great is quite dissapointing and i cannot play some games as well.

-¿What linux distro and version should i get?, Ubuntu seems to update all the time and is filled of loads of things that sometimes you wont ever touch in your life. I am open hearing what should i do.

Linux has gone below 4% global market share

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 01. Mai 2024 - 18:28

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-202303-202403

What is going on here? 0.22% seems quite a drop in a month given the small numbers we are dealing with. I'm hoping this month's steam hardware survey goes above 2% as we are so close.
