Gaming on Linux - 28. März 2024 - 13:40
Less than a week ago, SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) developers restarted the discussion regarding whether Wayland should be configured as the preferred over X11, but now Wayland will be sticking if certain Wayland protocols are available.

Anyone able to get Mahjong Soul's Windows client running?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 13:08

So Yostar released the Windows client for MahjSoul today. I tried installing it via Lutris and the installer would just stall at 0%.

I did the same process for installing it as I did every game with Lutris: Add the setup .exe to Lutris, run that and install the game, replace the binary with the SECOND setup .exe (the game has a double installer), and attempt to install the game.

The launcher starts and lets me set the install directory, but after starting the install, it gets stuck and doesn't download any files.

I can still play in the browser so I don't mind too much, but it would be nice to have a dedicated client for sure.

New to Linux, help end my suffering

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 12:29

Long story short, not using windows anymore, I can't deal with the bloatware. I'm not computer illiterate, but by no means experienced with Linux. Loving the learning journey, but certainly struggling with self troubleshooting.

I'm having so much fun /s trying to setup Steam and Proton, I'm using PopOS so alot of work was done for me when it comes to setup. According to ProtonDB, theoretically I should be able to set the Proton version to 8.0 -5 for RDR2 and launch with no tinkering. Unfortunately that's not the case, the Rockstar Launcher is throwing an error.

The Rockstar Launcher itself seems to install correctly with no issues, it's only upon trying to launch the game I get thrown this error.

If I need to provide more details please let me know, as I'm not entirely sure myself.

NVIDIA 3080 GPU AMD 5900X CPU

I'm completely up for using a different distro if need be.

Darksiders 2 always crashes after initial splash screens.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 11:42

Hey everyone.

I have switched to linux almost a year ago and have tried to run most of games from my library but the one game that just refuses to run for me no matter the distro I am on is Darksiders 2.

I have tried many times different version of Proton and GE Proton (I have it on Steam) and also all launch parameters I could find like: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%, gamemoderun MANGOHUD=1 %command% ,RADV_PERFTEST=aco gamemoderun %command% and PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% among many I tried but the result is always the same.

I also tried running exe in bottles but to no avail.

By the looks of it a lot of people faced the same issue but I have not found a definitive solution so far.

Did anyone solve this issue or do you know how to solve it? Any help/tip would be greatly appreciated :D Thanks in advance.

Btw I am currently on Debian 12 Bookworm/ KDE Plasma.

Kernal Anti-cheat

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 08:59

on Windows some kernel anti cheats got all these rights and such, but i was wondering if it still does all that same stuff, if you play a game with said anti cheat while on Linux (if it allows you).

like if i play HellDivers 2 on Linux, which runs well, is all that scanning and stuff still doing all the same as if i was on Windows? or is it because Proton is making the game run as if it was on windows its not doing the same thing because it isn't Windows but not being flagged?

Diablo IV from Gamepass works on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 08:03

https://preview.redd.it/x1535s7sx0rc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=b04fa62a0030c3945bd6caa67e295b61eb75eb13

Diablo IV came to Xbox Gamepass and you can play it without needing Gamepass Windows app. All you have to do just connect your Xbox account to your battle net account then you can play it with Lutris etc. I've installed from Lutris and works great just done first couple missions. I know game didn't receive too much praise but if you have gamepass and wanna try it out without spending $69.99 just fyi you can play it on Linux for cheaper now thanks to Gamepass.

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro with Proton games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 03:51

Hi! I'm having a really weird issue where when i try to play some flight sims (like Nuclear Option) this logitech joystick is recognized but not the throttle and yaw axis. I've used https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad to test the joystick and is working just fine natively. Also if i run the wine control panel using protontricks the joystick should work just fine. Anyone had a similar issue?

Helldivers Multiplayer Connection Issue on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 03:01

I recently switched to Linux and I'm still learning my way around. Today, I installed Helldivers and it launched without any issues (besides the common fullscreen problem). However, I encountered a problem when trying to play with friends.

  • The in-game social menu doesn't show any of my friends online.
  • Joining through Steam friends doesn't work either.
  • When trying to establish an uplink to join a ship, it fails.
  • The same thing happens with quick play - it establishes a connection to join the lobby but then kicks me out.
  • Occasionally, I receive a browser tab with an error code 114 from GameGuard, asking me to find erl files to send.

Troubleshooting:

  • Turning off IPv6
  • Setting IPv6 to "on"
  • Setting IPv6 to "auto"

I believe there might be a linux network issue that I'm too much of a newbie to diagnose on my system. Counter-Strike 2 works fine for joining lobbies and searching for games, so the problem seems to be specific to Helldivers. Also, i played it on windows a month or so ago and it worked fine.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or troubleshooting steps I could try to resolve this multiplayer connection issue in Helldivers on Linux.

Thank you in advance for your help!

"Proton Experimental" stuck on "UNPACKING" on Steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 01:00

Installed POP_OS, installed Steam and turned on the compatibility setting. Now, it downloaded "Proton Experimental".

It is 1.1GB in size for my drive, 271.2MB in download size, but it is stuck on "UNPACKING".

It literally says "271.2mb / 271.2mb" for downloading and "1.1GB / 1.1GB" for hard drive, but its still stuck on unpacking.

I've rebooted my PC and re-installed Steam and its still the same, any ideas?

Heroic Game Launcher (Rocket League) does not recognize DS4 controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. März 2024 - 00:03

I'm new to linux gaming, and I'm trying to get Rocket League working on Ubuntu 22.04.

I have installed the game via Heroic Game Launcher connected to Epic Games then added it to Steam. I have activated Steam Input with the gamepad template and it does recognize correctly every button of the DS4 but when I launch the game only the touchpad works (along with mouse and the pc keyboard).

Am I missing something? Any tips?

How much has Valve done for Wine and Linux gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2024 - 23:57

A rather open-ended question, but yeah. Just wondering because I wasn't into gaming on Linux before Proton existed.

Did they just take Wine and made it 10% better and also integrate it into Steam, or did they revolutionize how it works and made it be able to be used for a ton more games? They seem to be pouring money into it, at least, but not sure into what exactly.

If they did improve it, do you see this trend of improvement continuing, or did it kinda hit a wall?

Rocket League with Bakkesmod?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. März 2024 - 23:20

I am running Rocket League through steam and proton (it does have a native linux build but I can't connect to epic servers with it). I really wanted to get bakkesmod running on linux so I installed it and ran the installer with wine. It installed bakkesmod at ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/BakkesMod/BakkesMod.exe. When I run rocket league with proton and then boot up BakkesMod with wine it can't detect my Rocket League installation at all. While safemode checkbox is on it says mod is out of date but I know that bakkesmod is actually up to date with the latest version of Rocket League. When I uncheck safemode it doesn't detect a rocket league installation. I am on arch with i3wm. Any help would be greatly appreciated :).
