Hi,
We got some Issuies with Anno 117 on Ubi Connect.

First the Game runs, but today we got on every launch a black Window.

So we try different Proton Versions and now get a failure at Startup:

"This Product cannot be activated right now, please try again later"

When i'm searching for it soneone told we have to wait 24h, can somebody assign that?

Since the Steam Frame was introduced, there’s been some hubbub about gaming on Linux ARM. It’s not an impossible task, and this summer I tinkered around with my laptop to test it out.

It’s my honour and shame to introduce my Pinebook Pro, a laptop I purchased mid-COVID as a cheap laptop with long battery life, and relatively solid build quality. Seriously, the promise of a linux-powered thin laptop with 10,000mAH battery and a nice, 14-inch 1080p IPS display seemed like a pretty solid deal at $199 at the time. I basically wanted a Chromebook that wasn’t locked to ChromeOS...

One day, after what seemed to be a routine Manjaro ARM update, I lost my ability to connect to WiFi. (and not in the weird only after reboots way that the Pinebook Pro works now, just a stupid update that messed with wpa_supplicant) I’d troubleshoot that, but every so often something similar would happen. Lost wifi, no audio, awful performance, limited video playback. It all led me to put the Pinebook Pro down for good.

I realized that Manjaro ARM and the Pinebook Pro just weren’t really ready for prime time, or even daytime. It was shelved for a future that didn’t really come along.

But eventually I pined for the PBP’s lovely keyboard screen, and sleek metallic build. I booted it back up, found out about Armbian and started enjoying it again. So much so that I wondered if it's possible to do more on this thing than just occasional browsing.

I’m here to say, yes, definitely it can be used for more, and my recent addiction to Balatro and other indie games have pushed me towards figuring out how to do potentially unholy or at least, unadvised things with my PBP.

Here’s how its going: I’ve been able to install Steam and can play an assortment of games on it. Things like Balatro, Lumines Remastered, Stardew Valley, Counter-Strike (1.6) and World of Goo. Some of these games don’t have ARM builds or even Linux builds, so it was quite a journey. It’s also worth pointing out that the games all don’t run particularly well, and require lowering options or resolution to get decent frame rates. They’re playable though!

I loathed the sluggishness of Steam though, so I found gaming refuge elsewhere. Lutris gave me a decent experience with my GOG library, and Legendary worked really well for all those Epic Games Store freebies I’ve been collecting over the years.

From my GOG library I’ve played: Quake 2 and 3, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Freedom Force, Bastion and Martial Law. Lutris and GOG is a nice experience because of all the scripts that can install mods or open-source versions especially for the id engine games. I struggled with Unreal engine games, Deus Ex would run well until I faced water and it would tank to 1 fps and become unplayable.

On Legendary, I tested out Wilmots Warehouse, Horizon Chase Turbo and Vampire Survivors. Overall, my experience suggested that 3D games that are 20-25 years old and indie 2D games work decently.

My secret weapons for all this are Box86 and Box64, along with Proton, Proton-GE and Proton-Sarek.

The path I took to get here to get here is a windy one, as I’m a relative newbie to Linux.

I started with a build of Armbian that I built - it was nothing special, just a Generic UEFI one with Gnome.

I removed Zram, and replaced it with a swapfile because the lack of ram meant the whole computer would crash and freeze when both ram and zram were full, which happened with launching steam.

sudo nano /etc/default/armbian-zram-config sudo fallocate -l 8G /swapfile sudo chmod 600 /swapfile sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile sudo nano /etc/fstab Add /swapfile none swap sw 0 0

I would install mesa-utils and vulkan-tools

I’d install something called Pi-Apps, which did a good job of automating the install of Box86, Box64 and Steam.

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bash

I also put

PAN_MESA_DEBUG="gl3, gofaster"

in etc/environment

and eventually I added

PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER=1

too (I think there is SOME Vulkan support on the Pinebook Pro/RK3399, and this would be the way to run it...)

It’s encouraged to reboot after installing box86, box64 and Steam so I did. Don’t want to jinx anything!

After reboot, I’d run and log into steam, set it up and download a default proton version.

I set up Steam to use an external drive, a microSD card in this case, where it downloaded the proton versions.

I had to tinker around in Steam to make it as lightweight as possible. The Pinebook Pro is limited with just 4 GB of RAM.

Afterwards, with patience, I could install and play some Steam games.

I used the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% variable to use OpenGL renderer instead of DXVK

However, due to how slow Steam was, I wasn’t satisfied, and went on to Legendary.

I downloaded the standalone Binary, chmod+x, and installed it in my %PATH

After logging in and installing a game, I'd set up Legendary's config.ini to point to proton

Something like this:

[default] #gameid wrapper = "/media/user/SDCard/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton 8.0/proton" run no_wine = true [default.env] STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/ STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH =/media/user/SDCard/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata

That allowed me to play a few games from Legendary.

I tried using Heroic Game Launcher and Lutris’ Epic Games Store, but both were finicky, and wouldn’t display properly.

Finally, I installed Lutris from Github. It picks up the Protons I installed from steam automatically, and there should be a way to install Proton-GE too in the wine section.

And thats it. However, not everything is perfect.

For whatever reason, the generic Armbian UEFI image doesn’t come with sound out of the box. I needed to mess with alsamixer to get audio, and even then, it doesn’t work properly with headphones or headphone detection. Other typical issues, like no external monitors apply here too.

I THINK I want newer Mesa drivers with better Panfrost support and features, but I just can’t do it. I tried backporting it, and it broke everything. So I’m wary of dealing with that again.

I also wish this thing had HW accelerated video decode. Then I could use Moonlight to stream from my desktop with confidence, and maybe use Kodi for media playback. That'd be great.

Obviously, performance isn’t top notch. I’m open to ideas on improving it. Some things worth mentioning: using a Pinebook Pro-specific Armbian image doesn’t work very well.

I’ve also looked into installing different armbian-bsp-cli and armbian-bsp-desktop versions for the pinebook-pro via Synaptic rather than the generic uefi ones, and I don’t think that made a significant difference. I’d love feedback on that.

Anyways, I present this post as evidence of my craziness. Indeed I was so preoccupied with whether I could, I didn’t think if I should.

Video evidence can be found here:

I'm running Ubuntu on a Samsung Book. I can install Steam and use my Nacon Revolution X controller absolutely fine via USB. But if I want to use Xbox Cloud Gaming in a browser, specifically Chrome or Edge, it won't detect the controller. It doesn't matter if the browser is installed via a .deb or Flatpak or Snap.

The controller is detected in Firefox, but Xbox Cloud Gaming is not a great experience in that browser and I have regular freezing.

I've used the gamepad tester website in Chrome and Edge and my controller and its inputs are detected correctly.

Does anybody have any ideas how to get Xbox Cloud Gaming working on Ubuntu in Edge/Chrome?

Multimedia

Of course, ProtonDB itself is helpful, because if it runs on the Deck, chances are it'll run smoothly on the LeGo S, but the opposite isn't necessarily true. And each handheld have its own differences, like the lack of trackpads and community controller layouts for instance.

I am using Bazzite with latest updates. Proton-GE with launch options "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1" in game recognize HDR is enabled but my monitor does not. If I enable HDR on KDE display settings it works, my monitor goes to HDR mode but I don't want to use HDR on my desktop. Also with Steam Proton games recognize HDR with launch options "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1", yet again not my monitor.

Hi I’m new to Linux and I have installed bazzite on my old spare desktop pc but I’m having a issue, I have installed 3 games, Skyrim, fallout New Vegas and Red Dead Redemption 1. I can run the games from steam on desktop mode but as soon as I go in game mode I just get a black screen then I get the bazzite startup screen again then back to steam home page. I have tried messing with the different version of proton including proton experimental and proton GE latest I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact these 3 games have some kind of separate launcher but I’m just stumped at this point I spent all night last night and most of today trying to sort it out but I’m at the point now where google wont give me the answers.

If it helps here is my pc hardware: Intel i5 3470 16gb ddr3 ram AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb I also have the os installed a 1TB HDD I dunno if I should have it installed on a SSD or not but I doubt that will stop the games from running.

Any help would be much appreciated

When I play either Age of Wonders 4 or Monster Hunter Wilds, sometimes the audio is gone. And this audio lost persist outside the game. I can't hear any sound when watching YouTube or listening to music. The only way to fix it is to restart my PC.

Do you know why this problem happen and how to prevent it?

My specs:

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Processor: AMD® Ryzen 7 5700g with radeon graphics × 16

Graphic Card: AMD® Radeon rx 6700 xt

​I recently migrated to Linux (Bazzite) and have been able to configure Steam for each user session, one for each member of the family, with Steam booting into the corresponding Steam family account.

​I've been able to change the language for each account, except for one: my youngest kid's. The only one who absolutely doesn't speak English.

​I tried restarting Steam, Bazzite, and the computer itself. I also tried to see if it was something age-related that I could tweak from my account via family settings, but no. ​And I didn't have any issue with my other child's account.

​Here, I cannot even click the button. It's not grayed out or anything, it just does nothing. ​Normally, there's a button with "English" on it and if you click it, a drop-down menu appears. ​Here the button's there but it's unresponsive.

​If it's of any help, the language I'm trying to set up is the same as the OS one (French).

First, some technical details out of the way:

• OS: Bazzite, should be latest version.
• CPU: Ryzen 5600x
• GPU: Intel Arc A770 16 GB
• RAM: 32 GB DDR 4
• MESA: 25.2.7

When attempting to launch an Unreal Engine game with Proton version above 9.0-4, or Proton Experimental, or above GE-Proton 10-1 I get this crash and error:

!status && "vkQueuePresentKHR"

I've searched for this error and only found some old threads pointing to Steam Overlay being a problem. However, disabling Steam Overlay does not stop this issue.

Some of the UE games I play function on lower versions of Proton, others refuse to launch at all.

What could be causing this issue? What would I do to fix it?

I play with small set of addons but recently I started to have weird performance problem that I always get 6 fps.
So I disabled all addons but issue is still same. Although these are still installed, just disabled.
FPS is fine on main menu before joining any map. but when I open flatgrass for example, I only get 6 fps.
And when I disconnect from game, it's still 6 fps afterward.

Interesting I discovered is that when this happens, both CPU and GPU usage is really high. It's using 100% of one of 4 cores I have and it's using 100% of GPU.
Even though it shouldn't be. I don't have any addons and map is just flatgrass.
Entire PC starts to lag because of this.

I have 24GB ram with NVIDIA GTX 1060 with 3GB Vram.
CPU is I5 7600

I am using x86-64 branch with Chromium fix with multi core rendering. I tried disabling multi core rendering but it was same.

Edit:
Sometimes switching resolution fixes it?

Tried both so far. BattleNet setup froze on Lutris at the end, but it seems like it installed fine.

Launching both, I login and get to home page but get the oops message on both...

I don't have any games on Battlenet and was looking to try out WOW. I can go to the Shop, click the starter WOW and click play for free but that also takes me to this same screen when using Steam, with Lutris it locks up when I click the Play for free button.

Hello, as the title says, Im thinking about switching to RX9060XT from 3060 ti (i found a pretty good deal for it). Do you think its worth the upgrade? I tried bazzite with 3060 ti but some of the games has pretty low fps even with different proton and driver versions. My cpu is amd 5600x with 16 gb ram and I game at 1440p

Hello everyone!

Can anyone help? I have a Intel laptop, and the problem is that in games the FPS is higher on Windows than on Linux. For example, in Disco Elysium I get 80+ FPS on Windows, while on Linux it's around 30 with the same graphics settings. It's the same issue with other games. The Steam FPS overlay also shows that the GPU is being used at 0%.

Specs:

• HUAWEI FLMH-XX-PCB laptop
• Intel Core Ultra 5 125H
• IGPU Intel Arc integrated GPU (Meteor Lake-P)
• Fedora 42

I’ve tried Steam both via Flatpak and native, Proton GE and Proton Experimental, and different distros (Arch, Fedora, Bazzite) — the problem persists everywhere.
