Hi everyone, I'm facing a problem with Starbound on Linux. The game never opens and is frozen on the home screen. I've already tried opening Starbound - Unstable, but it seems that it also has problems, as the mod workshop and other resources are gone. Could anyone help me get the original Starbound to run on my Linux Fedora 39? I'm looking forward to finishing the game's story mode.

Valve pushed out a new upgrade to Proton Experimental, their staging ground for public-testing of what will eventually make its way into a main Proton release for playing Windows games on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck. The April 12th update is quite an interesting one too.

Ludeon Studios just released RimWorld - Anomaly, a huge new expansion to the colony-building sim filled with all sorts of crazy looking horrors.

So on windows, I had eu4 with not owned dlcs, and I could play with them when I launched the game with its exe. However, on linux, I can't launch it with the exe. Well, I can launch it, with wine, but when I do I get a "steam can't verify the ownership of the game" error. I've tried adding the exe file to steam and launching it with proton and without, but with that the game doesn't even launch. I've tried removing dlc's with both of these solutions btw. The game works just fine if I turn it on normally with steam, but then it doesn't have the dlcs, so it's basically unplayable. Any ideas?

Problem: can't launch the game with its exe file, eu4 to be specific. Steam can't verify the ownership.

Tried solutions: Adding the exe to steam, using proton, removing dlcs. Using wine, removing dlcs.

Linux: Mint 21.3 x86_64, kernel 6.5.0-1019-oem.

My main way of interacting with my friends in by playing online games. Mostly helldivers 2 and Valorant right now. But a lot of online games including the aforementioned have kernel level anti cheats. Which i am personally not comfortable with. Is there any way to safely play these games E.g. trough a virtual machine?

Ps i play these online games on windows dualboot currently. Though i am not very happy about the anticheats i still wanna game with my friends.

Palworld is set to expand in multiple big ways, which actually sounds quite exciting with a whole lot of new content set to arrive in the monster catching game.

Inspired by classic arcade games, PathBlasters looks like an absolute gem that deserves some attention mixing in some fun gameplay elements with a bit of a competitive edge to it.

Cosmic Void are currently developing Devil's Hideout, a horror point and click adventure where you have to deal with a bunch of cultists that faked your sister's death.

OutOfTheBit Ltd are doing it again. After the wonderful Full Void last year, they've announced Nanuka: Secret of the Shattering Moon, another great looking cinematic platformer.

And how would I go on installing it if it does work, it's not in the SUSE repos

I just want to play your games on Linux with functional achievements CDPR.... Is that much to ask?

Now, a lot of games today, particularly online games, are chalk filled with egregious monetization practices. I don't even call them games for real gamers. Just games for wallet gamers; whales who keep on whaling. It's depressing. And the Western AAA companies literally get their input from whales; which is extremely troubling I find. Western AAA game companies have gone down the tubes for the most part.

But, no real loss to me. Time for more Indies that are more fun! The only real success I ever heard with AAA gaming in recent days has been games that are from FromSoftware; which is not Western. And they made a some Western game companies very jealous (like Ubisoft) with Elden Ring. 😁

Anyway, this site here https://macrotransactions.org/ is cool for listing in detail about how egregious the micro transactions are for a lot of popular games. And those certain games made by certain game companies, where the devs refuse to support Proton score an E, or a huge F. I won't play a game with so much as a single B rating if I decided to ever venture with online gaming. Only A rating will do. The guy is awesome for making this site. It would be great if more people can help him add more games to his site; beyond the scope of the popular ones that also share the same tactics.

And when I compare those low scoring games to this site https://areweanticheatyet.com/ where it lists games with anti cheat that support Proton and ones that are not, it kind of levels out to be honest.

I say this is great. And why Linux is great for gaming. Because it filters out a lot of awful games with egregious micro transactions. And the quality games generally don't have an issue with working on Linux.

Honestly, I am quite happy about it. It's progressive when people are being forced to play better quality games and move away from those lazy and greedy game companies. If they are so determined to move over to Linux entirely because of how chaotic Microsoft is today, that is. And I have to say Valve is doing a great job at making gaming on Linux go even further.

My 8BitDo Ultimate controller fails to stay connected for longer than 10 seconds after an Arch update to kernel 6.8.5 and a few other updates. Anyone else experiencing this or a similar issue? Not sure how to figure this out, it was working fine for a long time. (Connected via USB dongle, xinput)

I'm looking for some advice on Linux gaming with an Xbox X|S controller.

I don't have the dexterity anymore to use Keyboard + Mouse (medical) and have been using reWASD for a couple years to do some advanced mapping.

I usually play Tactical FPS like Ready Or NoT, Zero Hour, Arma III, Ground Branch and similar, which have a LOT of keybinds. reWASD made this relatively easy by allowing me to map a keyboard button to a controller button multiple times. reWASD essentially allows me to use each button on the Xbox Controller 4 times

1. Single press X on the xbox controller is mapped to R to reload.
2. Double press X mapped to H to quick reload.
3. Triple press X mapped to J for equip attachment (m203 for example)
4. Long press X mapped to I to inspect mag (see how much ammo is left in the mag)

For games like Arma that have dozens of 100% needed burrons, something like reWASD is essential for me.

I've tried Joy2Key, AntiMicroX and a few others, and haven't been able to discover /figure out how to do something similar.

Steam controller support is amazing, but I've only been able to do 1:1 button mapping.

reWASD is literally the only reason I'm on Windows. I'm very comfortable using OpenSuSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, Pop_OS and others for well over 15 years, but to play some of these games that need well over a dozen mappings, I find myself stuck with otherwise fantastic software (reWASD) on a shitty bloatware OS.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing in Joy2Key, or AntiMicroX, or if there is something better that I just haven't discovered?

My preference is Gnome, but I can do KDE if necessary, or any other DE if there's better support or whatnot.

Screenshots added to show some of the configs I'm using in reWASD presently

Hi all, recently I purchased the resident evil 4 remake on steam under the assumption it wouldn't have any hiccups (all previous RE games i've played have never had an issues), but unfortunately I have been completely unable to start the game due to the following cryptic error

https://support.codefusion.technology/re4pg_oj3q12pf/?e=88500006&l=english&s=at

as an avid enjoyer of all the previous resident evil remakes and modern spins this is really upsetting for me as i had been anticipating playing this game for months, i'd really like to be able to play this game and not have to return it so any advice is appreciated

I've done all the basic troubleshooting steps, use different versions of wine/proton (experimental, latest GE, hotfix, GE7-53 (saw a comment from someone that said this version worked on amd when the game first launched))

tried on both X11 and Wayland (neither change anything)

Forcing the use of different amd gpu drivers (amdvlk and radv) through the use of the VK_DRIVER_FILES env variable

i was even desperate enough to install gnome and try it on there (X11 and Wayland) still to no success or change from this error log

This is rather puzzling as i've read reports on protondb of people with similar hardware and software running the game just fine

System information:

CPU: i7-12700K

GPU: AMD 6600XT

RAM: 32GB Corsair vengeance

DE/WM: KDE Plasma 6.0.3

OS: CachyOS (Fork of arch)

Kernel: 6.7.9

Running steam from the commandline doesn't produce any useful information

Vulkan package info

please let me know if there is anymore information i can provide and thanks in advance

i wanted to share my findings with you all for anyone else that might be curious about streaming in hdr using sunshine and moonlight.

host: windows running sunshine and nvidia

client: opensuse with amd gpu and a steamdeck build of moonlight that has vulkan enabled with the latest gamescope. plasma6 with hdr + vrr enabled.

command: gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output -- ./Downloads/Moonlight-r2406-x86_64.AppImage

full hevc hdr10 straight to my eyeballs streaming 2k@120 to my 165hz monitor. on wifi.

absolutely insane. i can't believe this moment is here.

notes amd

1. amd seems to be the gpu of choice for linux as it has the least amount of problems. display port > hdmi.
2. libreelec running on a usb also supports hdr for those that want to watch hdr content, although libreelec seems to claim raspberry pi 4/5 are the only devices that support actual 10/12 bit content and i might just be seeing hdr 8bit. further arguments happen with kodi development who claim that libreelec is not actually producing "proper" hdr and "proper" hdr in linux is still a ways away due to issues in the DE, kernel, vulkan, mesa and so forth.
3. couldn't get gamescope embedded to work but i also didn't look into it enough

intel

1. the state of intel d/i gpu on linux is sad unfortunately. while technically supporting hdr400/600 hdr10(dv?), it is janky in windows and jankier in linux.
2. libreelec with intel does trigger hdr successfully
3. mpv can deliver hdr content provided you tell mpv what to map the hdr10/dv content to, otherwise something in vulkan / mesa isn't mapping the content from the media to what intel can handle and nothing will display.
4. gamescope embedded using intel does not work, causes gamescope to crash due to missing features in gamescope and in mesa.
5. gamescope nested with intel works, but with the same issue mpv has. if you try to force hdr using intel the exact same error will appear which points to libplacebo and from there who knows. unfortunately, you can't tell gamescope what to map the hdr10 content to.
6. specifying the refresh rate using gamescope nested will cause the black frames to appear in every other frame for some nice flickering.

nvidia

1. lol

now i'm going to try steam games in hdr with vrr and see how far i get.

thank you devs from all walks of life, gamescope, kde, wayland, amd, moonlight and sunshine and so on. that's not even a comprehensive list of developers that need credit for making hdr a possibility in linux well before the estimated projected time of sometime in the next decade.

shoutout to mediatek chipset and the mt7912u drivers for providing a wonderful wifi experience over usb.
