Hey! I recently switched to Arch from Windows and I wanted to play GTA V, which I got for free from Epic Games. Whenever I try to start the game, RGL starts up and after a while exists with error 134 (coudn't connect to RGS - therefore can't start the game, as previous online verification is required). When I try to run RGL from Wine/Bottles directly, I get stuck at "Connecting to RGS" and my i3 freezing keybinds.

Other EGL games work relatively fine.
Any clues on how to fix this?

Cheers, TomKo

As the title says, if I start the game in Proton, the server kicks me out with the message "Remove all your addons before joining a VAC protected server". Using proton instead of native fixes some display problems and makes my radial menu vocalizer work fine. Disabling all addons has no effect.

I'm not sure what's going on, it might be due to using kernel 6.5 and 545 drivers? I haven't tested it yet, before I could play fine with both Proton 9.0.1 and GE 9.4.

I would like to stay up to date. Any tips I can try?

Distro: Linux Mint 21.3

I was reinstalling an old laptop and was wondering how proton versions compared to each other.

Noticing newer proton versions don't add extra performance.
Kinda was hoping/expecting minor improvements in this regard (besides stability/support)

Only noticed that proton 5.0-10 was significant faster.

Every test was executed 3 times and showed almost no difference. I included the fastest iteration.

Hi, just trying to run "Foundry" and if I run it with plain wine, it works fine, Lutrix just bombs out with this in the log file:

Started initial process 37324 from gamemoderun /usr/bin/wine /home/scott/.wine/drive_c/Games/FOUNDRY.v0.5.2.14565/Foundry.exe

Start monitoring process.

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored

Is this some 64/32 bit mis-match? The wine installeer within Lutrix only has the 64 bit wine and I think my system wine is 64 bit...so I'm confused, any help?

After launching a game and while the game is still running, if I go to the download section on Steam, the game will show up there with "Disk Write Error". After exiting the game, the error will disappear and will just show the "Play" button. This is happening on all 3 of my drives. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

I play some AFK game, the problem is after 30~45 minutes, I have to manually click on the screen to do the "farming" again because the game limit so.

Im seeking for a solution for this, So I can AFK through the night - when I sleep. Is there any tools/ scripts let me do that

For instance, After 30 minutes, automatically declare a click action at (x1;y1) then (x2;y2),... after that, wait for another 30m and again again again

THIS IS NOT PIRACY. The project contains no Nintendo code or assets, and it requires a USA MM ROM to play. The project also provides no instructions regarding how to obtain the ROM, legally or otherwise. Conceptually, this is similar to WINE/Proton.

https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/Zelda64Recomp

Check it out. Works at any modern resolution and frame rate; support widescreen and ultrawide, modern controllers, optional autosave system, gyro aiming, instant loading, and a bunch of other things. Works on the Steam Deck. Very easy to use, just run the compiled binary, tell it where the ROM is, and you're done.

My understanding is that is reads the ROM, recompiles game logic into modern C code and graphics into Vulkan.
For me, it runs flawlessly, and I got 170FPS at 1440p at first try.

Ocarina of Time is coming soon. The general approach behind this should work with almost all N64 games.

The code is all GPL3.

I've selected the emulation flair since it seems most appropriate, but this is not emulation in the standard sense. An in-software N64 is not being emulated here. It works much more like WINE/Proton.

Hello! I did a clean reinstall of Arch today because I was having a lot of problems. Now Minecraft randomly crashes while I'm playing. I tried the following:

1. Disabling all mods -> same result
2. Changing java versions -> same result
3. Moving minecraft to a btrfs SSD -> same result

Also before I had a problem that all my system sounds do buzzing sound when minecraft starts, I solved it by reading this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Minecraft#Audio_stutters_on_PipeWire

Crash log says the following:

# # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGBUS (0x7) at pc=0x000078eb45b0d637, pid=9579, tid=9937 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (21.0.3+9) (build 21.0.3+9) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (21.0.3+9, mixed mode, sharing, tiered, compressed oops, compressed class ptrs, g1 gc, linux-amd64) # Problematic frame: # C [libc.so.6+0x167637] # # Core dump will be written.

I also want to upload the core dump log, but I don't know how safe it is.

My specs:

And Ryzen 5 5600g,

32 GB DDR4 3200Mhz,

B550m board,

Nvidia 1060 3gb,

75hz monitor,

600w, or 650w PSU, not sure, I'll edit this...,

Arch Linux

I might be having some disposable income in the coming months so I'm thinking of an upgrade.

I do not want an Nvidia card, not even if it's cheaper, I'm having a horrible time with this one, and I don't like the hacky way you need to set up the drivers... I mean, pacman hooks, kernel modules, blacklists... I'm aware this is an Arch Linux thing, but other distros I've tried that do this automatically also needed tweaks because of the bugs that appeared and I needed to remove some kernel modules they installed otherwise the boot, suspend and wake would hang for minutes.

Idk, I think I'm done with Nvidia, I want plug and play, I don't want to mess with kernel modules, dont care about cuda or ray tracing, I don't want to be at the mercy of the proprietary drivers.

That said...

Whatever you think the GPU costs, add about 150€ to that price, and that's probably how much it costs here. I know, it sucks. But I'm not buying used, I need the warranty. I know I can find great deals, but I can't risk it.

As for the performance, I don't own any super demanding games, and my monitors are capped at 75hz so, if it can do 60-75 FPS at 1440p I'm happy.

I think the most demanding games in my library are Death Stranding and new Tomb Raiders. So if the card can run those, it'll run everything else. And I can use FSR and don't have to run them at ultra settings.

Bonus - I'm possibly going to be running Qemu/KVM virtualization of windows, and use the 1060 for the GPU pass through. So if the new card doesn't require a new PSU to achieve that, all the better! 🙂 I'm not planning on going full blast on both at the same time so it should be ok, but last time I tried this with 1060 as the main and R7 260x as the secondary GPU, the system wouldn't boot so yeah... It worked with the igpu main and R7 passed to VM...

Anyway...

Do I go with the 6000 series or is the 7000 a bigger bang for the buck? Or maybe I wait for the 8000 series? Are they planning that soon or what? It's been a while since I researched the GPU market, and I'd like to hear personal experiences as well. What card to you own and how does it do?

So can someone please recommend and AMD card that's not too expensive, but works great on Linux?

Thanks!

I am very much curious with this. Take Unreal Tournament 2004

That game has a windows release and a Linux release

I know as a fact, On Windows 10 and 11, I just install some old dependancy and it works right then and there

Now, I'm curious, how can you make it work on Linux?

Anyone got any idea on how to fix this? I just reinstalled my os bc I was having issues with graphics drivers. My os is linux mint. I made a backup of my .minecraft folder so in theory everything works, right? No, only two saves are shown and neither are my hardcore world, this was with 1.20.4 fabric. I then loaded 1.20.6 and no saves were shown. All of my mods appear to be working and the only issue is with the saves. I have checked and all of my saves are there in the folder and look fine. Even deleting and repasting doesnt work. Help?

So historically, I haven't had issues with either Steam or the Pro Controller over Bluetooth.

Typically, when pairing the controller over Bluetooth there are four flashing lights on the controller that blink to signify the device is in pairing mode. Once paired, the first light will stay lit to indicate that it is the "first" controller.

I just decided to pick up my controller today after a while of allowing it to collect dust. I put it into pairing mode and attempted to pair via blueman. The lights never stop flashing even when blueman indicates it is paired.

I do have the hid_nintendo config set in my kernel and have loaded it with modprobe. lsmod indicates it is loaded. The old DKMS module is not installed.

In steam settings, it indicates there are no controllers detected.

To me it seems like the pairing isn't even happening correctly. What gives?

Thanks!
