can't install LOL

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 05:51

Hello. I am trying to install LOL through Lutris. I have chosen the option (2009, Mac OS Windows) and the server (EUNE standard) but when it's trying to install, I am getting an error:

Failed to extract /home/kj7/.cache/lutris/wine-lutris-GE-Proton8-26-x86_64.tar.xz: [Errno 17] File exists: 'libgstallocators-1.0.so.0.2205.0' -> '/home/kj7/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/lib/libgstallocators-1.0.so.0

I am using Ubuntu 22.04. Why?

Disabling KDE Plasma 6 Compositor with Gamemode?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 04:42

Hello. Before I upgraded to KDE Plasma 6 I ran my Steam games with the "gamemoderun %command%" launch option. In my gamemode.ini file I added the following lines in order to disable compositing when I started up a game:

start=kdialog --title 'Gamemode' --passivepopup 'Started' 2 start=qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor org.kde.kwin.Compositing.suspend end=kdialog --title 'Gamemode' --passivepopup 'Stopped' 2 end=qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor org.kde.kwin.Compositing.resume

However, after upgrading to Plasma 6 this no longer disables compositing. Does anyone know if there are updated commands I could add to gamemode.ini that would let me disable compositing with gamemode? Thanks!

Apex Legends black screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 02:46

I've just run Apex Legends after rebooting a bit ago and am met with a black screen when running the game natively. Using any Proton, even experimental betas, do not work (proton-GE doesn't work either, with some the game doesn't even launch to the "home" screen). The screen will stay black as long as the game is on screen until I tab out to desktop, although I can hear ingame audio.

I'm using an RX 6600 XT on KDE Plasma, with Wayland. Steam launch options: DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command%

EDIT: Curiously, the game runs fine on my secondary monitor, though this isn't ideal since it's a weaker spec monitor and it's also off to my side. If it means anything, my primary is connected via a male to male HDMI cable, and my secondary is connected via a DP to HDMI adapter.

Anno 1800 Without Ubisoft Malware on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 01:18

I saw Anno 1800 has a big discount on Steam currently and Linus (from LTT) always goes on about how amazing it is, so I want to get it.

I can see on ProtonDB it should be easy enough to get running on Linux, but I refuse to play any single player game with any stupid online logging in evil. Particularly from a company as terrible as Ubisoft.

Now I'm not going to ask for any links or anything, because I believe that's not allowed here. And I'm not looking to download a pirate copy, I'm totally happy to buy it on Steam. I just want to know if anyone has had success specifically on Linux, getting the Steam bought version of the game to run without any Ubisoft trash required.

Sons of the forest lag issue?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 00:36

Hey everyone, I recently switched over to Ubuntu and I installed steam and sons of the forest and all that. The issue is, I know I have well over the specs needed to run it (it ran flawlessly on high settings on windows) but it's struggling on Ubuntu. I have the latest graphics and other drivers installed. On Windows I got anywhere between 70-110 fps constantly. On Ubuntu, I'm averaging 35 fps with dips to 15 during combat and when it rains, etc. I've tried everything, I know to try and nothing. Hoping someone here can help me out with some suggestions? I'm at my wits end, but I am NOT going back to Windows. Although, I'm not sure I can stand playing sons of the forest how it runs right now. Any tips/suggestions would be much appreciated.

[PopOS] Setting mydisplay at 144hz on my monitor is making the screen refresh every few seconds

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 00:31

I have an Odyssey G7 28" 4k 144hz monitor and when I come to set the display settings at anything higher than 70hz the screen keeps refreshing every time I make some inputs. It goes black and resets as if I am applying changes to the display settings

HDMI audio woes (Radeon 7900 XTX)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 00:08

Howdy,

I'm trying to dump Windows for good, so I decided to make my new gaming rig Linux-only. This is mostly working despite my not having built a Linux desktop since Red Hat was a thing, but for whatever reason HDMI audio is just not working.

Setup:

  • Distro: I've tried three different ones (Nobara, Fedora, and now Arch)
  • Card: Radeon 7900 XTX
  • Displays: One 4K monitor (DisplayPort), one LG 4K TV (HDMI), cloned

Expected outcome: Audio plays through LG TV

Actual outcome: No audio

Things I've tried:

  • Testing via System Settings | Sound (pic below)
  • Testing via speaker-test
  • Testing every output option under HDMI/Displayport (pic below)
  • pavucontrol: Shows what appears to be the correct device
  • Changing distros (see above)
  • Installing frickin' Windows to rule out a hardware problem (this works--I get sound right away)
  • Searching for similar posts (there are similar ones but none quite match)

(If more information is required, please let me know and I'll post it.)

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to look at this!

Moonlight vs WINE/Proton/Steam etc

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2024 - 00:06

My primary Linux desktop is an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with a Radeon RX 6900XT GPU.

I also happen to have a Windows 10 system on a Ryzen 5700G with an Nvidia 1080TI card in it. I've got Sunshine installed on it and have been running some games from there via Moonlight on the Linux system.

My basic question is: Is it worth running games that aren't Linux native on the Linux box via WINE and any of the advanced clients that use it (Proton, Steam, etc) rather than just running the game on this Windows box via Moonlight? It would make my Linux installation a lot less complicated.

Bazzite 5GHz problem

Hi all, I just installed bazzite on an old surface pro 2, and I'm having some network issues. My computer can see my 5GHz network, but it can't connect to it. Any ideas on how I can solve this issue?

Trying to pair a Switch Pro controller over bluetooth for use with Steam (RetroArch) on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. März 2024 - 23:08

I followed this thread to connect my pro controller. I installed the two packages, and can pair the controller. However, when I push L+R, the controller connects, and then instantly disconnects. RetroArch can not see the controller for use. I can see it in my bluetooth devices list, and it's paired and trusted.

How can I keep the controller connected to use in RetroArch, as well as other Steam games? Also, is it possible to use it on the desktop, with the joystick acting like a mouse, and buttons launching a keyboard?

I'm using kali, I know it's meant for other things, not specifically gaming. It is what I am choosing to use.

2D Windows-XP era games break my Plasma when running on switchable graphics.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. März 2024 - 22:32

I've played some games from the early 2000s using wine, with my BIOS graphics set to `discrete`. I have switched to `switchable` graphics today, and whenever I try to run those games, my Plasma 6 instance dies without any ways to restart it other than a reboot.

I have tried running them through prime with the command `prime-run wine <game>` but the result is the same. Trying to add them to Lutris would lower their performance when the BIOS setting is on `discrete`, and not start them at all on `switchable`.

I am new to using wine, I barely made the sound work. I run EndeavourOS, which was kinda buggy on `discrete`, hence why I switched. I have a RTX-2060m and an i7-9750H. I have had no issues when running `prime run %command%` through steam. Any advice is helpful, and let me know what other info I should provide.

Minecraft All The Mods 9 modpack crashes after taking all memory available

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. März 2024 - 21:17

After I launch atm9, I can play normally for a while but memory usage climbs up until my entire system freezes. I have 16 gbs of ram and I allocate 8 gbs but java uses a lot more and keeps taking more memory. I tried allocating more and less memory, using the java arguments recommended in all the mods website, adding memory leak fix mod. None of them worked. What should I do?

Any Idea How to Get God of War Running Under Wine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. März 2024 - 21:10

The GOG version of God of War 2018 just released, so I am trying to play using the DRM-free offline installer. I am trying to install it straight through Wine since Lutris never works for me.

I was able to install it fine, but it will not open. I get a message saying it requires “at least Windows 10”.

I tried editing the config for wine (using winecfg) to be windows 10 instead of 7, didnt play. I tried the same thing through regedit to change it to an exact build number, didnt play. I tried through winetricks, didnt play.

Any ideas? This game likely checks through some other parameter to determine the OS version, but I have no clue.

For more info, I am on Linux Mint 21.3.
