How to run tf2 on proton AND join vac servers.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 5:04pm

Although this guide works, I don't recommend doing it. Valve probably blocks proton from loading vac for a good reason (Do this at your own risk, you account could possibly get vac banned, although very unlikely). Also tf2 under proton has memory leak issues, so expect the game to crash after an hour or two.

If you really just want better performance stick to the x64 beta instead.

First step: Get bottles, this is not required if you want to use something else, but bottles will be used for this guide.

After setting up bottles download the latest version of wine ge-proton, this has fixes for mouse sensitivity and generally runs the best in my experience.

Create a bottle using the default settings, just click the "+" icon on the top left of the main page.

Download and Run the windows version of the steam installer. After installing team fortress 2 change the wine version to wine-ge-proton

You're done! Some fonts may look bad, but you can easily fix that by installing all font packages under the Dependencies button in your bottle.

also sorry if this guide sucks its my first time making one.

Trying to run Solo Leveling: Arise on linux machine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 4:26pm

Hey All, hope someone can help me figure this out.

So I'm trying to run Solo Leveling: Arise on nobara linux. So I installed the game on a Windows machine via official launcher/downloader then I copied the game files on my Nobara Linux machine. Then I added the .exe as non-steam game and the game runs, however, when trying to download updates, it's giving me a "insufficient storage" error which I have plenty of, it's like it cannot access the storage or something. Any ideas?

LinVAM - Linux based Voice Activated Macro tool

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 1:48pm

After searching for a VoiceAttack equivalent for Linux, I came across this reddit post. Shout out to Aidan, the guy who created that post, paid a freelancer to create a Linux based voice activated macro tool and then shared that tool with the Linux community.
Since the project wasn't worked on since it was created (around 5 years ago at the time of writing this post), the project wasn't working on Wayland and the usage wasn't really average user friendly, so I decided to fork the project and work on it so it can be used on both Wayland and X11.

I've refactored the project a little, switched to using Vosk-API Voice to Text engine and ydotool for inputs.
In addition to other changes, I've also added multilanguage support, the ability to use it through Steam launch options and to have MangoHud display which profile and language are used.

The project can be found here: https://github.com/stele95/LinVAM/
It is still a work in progress, meaning updates and improvements will probably be made in the future, but the current state of the project should be in a good shape for every day usage for average user. You can read more about it in the project's README file. As usual, any errors or problems that are encountered can be reported in the Issues section on github here

Sea of thieves won't run on Linux anymore?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 1:39pm

So I just got back home after a while and tried playing SoT, look like they introduced this new anticheat which seems to require you to run the game on Windows only. Do anyone of you know if it will be possible to find a way around this or is it game over?

Playing old Windows games on my potato PC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 1:26pm

Perhaps this might be of help to anyone in a similar case like me.
My setup is an old Desktop PC (>10 years old) let me go to specifics:

  • CPU Intel i5-2400 CPU @3.10 GHz
  • MoBo Lenovo Thinkcentre M91p
  • RAM 12 GB
  • Storage 256 GB SSD
  • Graphics AMD Radeon HD6450 R5 230 256MB
  • OS Linux Mint 20.3 64bit
  • Lutris with Proton GE

As you understand I don't have any high expectations, however this setup should be able to run decade old PC games without issues. Nevertheless I faced stuttering, frame drops, to the point that it was unplayable even for resource light games like Civilization IV and Dawn of War. What finally worked for me was in Lutris to disable DXVK, VKD3D and dgvoodoo2. The difference is massive.

So if you have an old PC and want to reminiscence those games perhaps this can help you.

GTA SA Lag on wine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 1:08pm

I’m using an old pc but I once installed gta sa through a deb package downloaded online. Now I tried to install gta sa by myself with the game files and wine. It is very laggy and unplayable now. It shows the following error when it lags while playing:

0154:err:d3d:resource_unload Resource 02AE300 is being unloaded while mapped. 0154:err:d3d:resource_unload Resource 0291A8E0 is being unloaded while mapped. 0154:err:d3d:resource_unload Resource 02AE300 is being unloaded while mapped. 0154:err:d3d:resource_unload Resource 0291A8E0 is being unloaded while mapped. …

The lag is gone along with the error when I reduce resolution to 800x600 (or any other lower resolution).

There is no lag when I run it without mods but it’s annoying to play the a game stuck in the corner of my screen. So I need widescreen fix. I also tried SilentPatch. Nothing helps.

Heroic won't launch some of my games today

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 2 Apr 2024 - 12:24pm

First: It seems like there was a new Heroic version today, so *something* is obviously different.

These are games from the Epic store (freebies).

I've been playing Sable lately, and today when I tried to launch it in Heroic, it doesn't start properly (Launching -> Playing -> Play now). The log doesn't provide much information, and as far as I can see, there is no 'verbose' option for the log.

I tried to download and run another game (Earthlock), but the result is the same.

I use the flatpak version, but I doubt that makes any difference.
