Vesktop not showing game activity

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. April 2024 - 00:51

Currently I use the steam deck as my main PC, so obviously I needed a version of discord. I found vesktop, which is basically is discord with vencord (discord plugin manager) built in. Though as I used it, I realized that when I opened a game the discord overlay never showed up. And while playing, I also noticed on my profile, there was no game appearing. I then tried adding the game manually, but nothing showed except google chrome. Recently the option for managing activities just disappeared. I looked all over for something, but nothing came up so I eventually came to this subreddit.

Any luck trying to run honkai star rail on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 23:16

This is me trying to run HSR with Honkers launcher and the fps runs smooth but the graphics....not so much. I tried using epic games store but all it does is launch epic games store(assuming it crashed). it doesnt seem to want to work with wine 8.26....This photo uses 9.5 on honkers launcher was the best I could get.

ERR_NO_LAUNCHER when running Steam GTA V

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 23:04

When running GTA V through Steam on my PC (Debian 12) it first opens up Rockstar Launcher (as usual) then brings up the error message ERR_NO_LAUNCHER with the text 'Please run Grand Theft Auto V using Rockstar Games Launcher'.

This error has been occurring for a few months, the drive I originally had GTA installed on died, but I am pretty sure it originally was working after I reinstalled it on a new drive. I checked protondb around the time and there were no reported issues. I did also check the Proton GitHub issue for GTA V, but the issues seemed unrelated (needing to change wine to a newer windows version, which I had already done previously).

This happens with both flatpak and native versions of Steam. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both GTA V and Steam, including deleting both the game, wine prefix and steam flatpak directories.

Interestingly, the game does run on my laptop (Arch Linux). I tried transfering both the game files and wine prefix over to my PC, however I still have the same issue. Given both were on flatpak, the only difference I can think off between the two systems, besides hardware, is my laptop is running Xorg and my PC is Wayland. I would play on my laptop but low specs (8gb ram, no dedicated gpu) mean after opening up GTA, my laptop is unusable and I have to force reboot it.

When I search for the error online, all of the results have different text under the error (directing you to run PlayGTA.exe instead), the solutions were generally whitelisting the program in their antivirus. As I am running in wine, without an antivirus, this is obviously not the issue.

I have uploaded steam-271590.log to https://0x0.st/X--J.log and theres a lot in there and I can't really extract anything useful out of it. I see two potential errors: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY and 927895.729:02d4:02d8:err:ole:marshal_object Failed to create an IRpcStubBuffer from IPSFactory for {e89f726e-c4f4-4c19-bb19-b647d7fa8478} with error 0x80004002, the second of which I have no idea about, the first which could be running out of VRAM? I am running an rx 550 with 2gb vram, so this is possible, but given this was never an issue before, and has consistently been an issue since, I don't believe this is the case.

I have uploaded launcher.log to https://0x0.st/X--v.log but I don't see anything useful in there. There is something about the update service not being available, but I assume thats either handled through steam, or temporary, because there have been several times when I've tried running GTA and the launcher has updated.

Any ideas, tests, extra logs to get, other places to try asking, please let me know.

Who will win, Linux or VR?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 22:17

Currently Linux is ahead. In the long run on Steam who will be the leader, Linux adoption or VR adoption?

(I count as both)

GPU Suggestions

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 21:35

Hey all

So after suggestions for a new GPU Currently rocking a 570 8GB
Current system specs are :

  • Ryzen 5 3400G ( It'll be my next upgrade eventually )

  • 32GB ram

  • Samsung 1440p monitor

Would prefer AMD suggestions but happy to accept team blue suggestions to. Budget is around £200 - £300 ( $254.07 - $381.11 ) <-- Freedom unit conversion

Mostly playing Helldivers 2 / Star Citizen these days

Not stressing about CPU bottlenecks for now, as long as I can get solid 30-60FPS in most games I'm happy.

What can I try to get speech recognition work on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 19:40

Hey guys,

This is not related to gaming but I thought this might be the best sub for the question.

Did anyone have any luck getting dragon speech recognition work on Linux? I have to use it 4-5 hours a day because of work. Last time I tried to get it to work on wine it did not even start.

Any ideas about what else I can try to get it to work?

Hi I run TF2 on Ubuntu and something goes wrong

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 19:07

I installed Flat Textures, but I’m experiencing issues with the UI and screen. I didn’t have this problem on SteamOS. This bug seems to occur randomly; sometimes it doesn’t happen, but other times, certain functions on the UI simply don’t work. Could Ubuntu be missing some necessary packages for gaming

How to determine which GPU is being used when the monitor is connected to the motherboard in a desktop PC with a dedicated GPU?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2024 - 18:56

Hello, I'm seeking help to understand how GPU allocation works on my desktop PC. Currently, I have a setup with both an integrated graphics card and a dedicated graphics card (RTX 3060). I've noticed that I can play demanding games with good performance (Sons 86pfs, all in ultra) even when my monitor is connected to the motherboard instead of the RTX 3060. I'd like to know how I can determine which GPU is being used for rendering when the monitor is connected to the motherboard. Does anyone have any insights or suggestions on how I can figure this out? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

The first handheld to use PlaytronOS is some Web3 thing - the SuiPlay0x1

Remember Playtron and PlaytronOS? They made an attempt at a big splash recently with plans to create a Linux-powered system to rival SteamOS (Steam Deck) and Windows across various devices and multiple stores. The first device has been announced and it's some weird web3 thing.
