Hey, you guys! I'm currently working on a modded playthrough of the original Baldur's Gate trilogy. I usually did this on Windows, but had recently switched to Ubuntu 24.04. After a lot of headscratching and trial and error, I got most of the setup done. But my issue lies with the BG1NPC Project mod. I tried putting it through WeiDU but I keep getting this message:

/mnt/modbox/bgee$ weinstall bg1npc

weidu --log "setup-bg1npc.debug" "bg1npc/bg1npc.tp2"

[weidu] WeiDU version 25000

ERROR: Unable to find DIALOG.TLK in:

./\^dialog/.tlk$

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.

FATAL ERROR: Failure("Unable to find DIALOG.TLK")

If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello everyone, ​I am playing on Manjaro (Wayland) and building a multiboxing setup to run 4 instances of a game on one screen, controlled by a single gamepad. ​1. What currently works (Native games): I have a bash script that perfectly handles Native Linux games (like Albion Online). It creates a "sandbox" for local users (test1, test2, etc.) using sudo -u and gamescope. See script logic below:

Simplified logic of my working script

sudo -u test1 -H env ... gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -- /path/to/native/game

This works great: inputs are cloned, windows are isolated. ​2. What currently works (Proton games manual launch): I discovered that I can launch multiple instances of a Proton game (e.g., Frostpunk, AppID 323190) on my main user account using this command:

protontricks -c 'cd "/path/to/game/" && wine Frostpunk.exe' 323190

This bypasses the Steam client check effectively for my needs. ​The Question: I am struggling to combine these two methods. I need to run the Proton/Wine command inside the isolated user environment (Step 1). ​Since protontricks relies on the main user's Steam paths and prefixes, simply pasting the command into the sudo -u test1 block fails. ​What is the correct way to script this? ​Should I point the other users to the main user's WINEPREFIX? ​How do I execute the protontricks logic (or raw wine command) inside gamescope for a different user (test1) so it uses the correct Proton environment? ​I would appreciate any advice from those who have experience with gamescope + Proton scripting or multiboxing on Linux.

The newer MicroProse are picking up some good stuff lately, and one I missed during December was the announcement of first-person mech sim Steel Bounty.

Cross-Posting for hopefully some advice.

Thank you in advance for any guidance on this weird quirk with the Xbox Controller discoverable on the PC with Linux Mint but not discoverable on the exact same PC with Bazzite.

Hi, y'all.

I'm trying to launch eufloriaHD on Steam using Linux Mint 22.2.

Current resolution is 1920 as per, but when I launch the game, the whole system drops to 640.

I've included screenshots to show what I mean, and I've used Terminal to get everything back to normal, but I still can't play the game.

Any ideas?

First off, here is the case: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1249298

I have made some modifications to mine, mostly in terms of slight scaling increase to fit my PSU, modifying the front panel to accept my power button, and cut down the original fan shroud/mount smaller so that you can actually see the BC-250 itself which was otherwise 95% hidden behind it. There's been no change in thermals and if anything it's better.

This case has an awesome design to route some of the air behind the board to cool the ram and vent out the top of the other side of the case. It effectively vents air on 3 sides - front, rear, opposite side. With a 2ghz OC on the GPU, max temps under max GPU and CPU load was about 81C, but in games like Cyberpunk 2077, observed temps are like 61C.

Overall I'm really happy with the way this project came out and the BC-250 itself is a hell of a lot of fun to play with.

Currently running official SteamOS which has been fine so far. Aside from the 2ghz OC, any other tweaks that any of you think are worth exploring?

Wireworks went straight into my wishlist, I couldn't click it fast enough. Love the idea with this base-defense roguelike auto-battler.

Apocalyptic Vibes is a Fallout-ish first person shooter made for the GZDoom engine. Play as a waste-lander who wanders the ruins of the old world. Wield scrapped pistols, rifles, knives and scavenge any nutrients you can find. There is no forgiving people in the wasteland... take aim, shoot first, ask question later.

I was able to play Apocalyptic Vibes in Heroic Launcher with the windows version using Proton Experimental. But I was also able to install GZDoom for Linux and it and...

Game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. I started using Linux full-time maybe about 6 months ago, so instead of switching to Windows (🤢) to compile test builds, I figured I may as well just give the game full on Linux support.
