How do you know which dependencies to install with Bottles?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 10:31am

I've been trying to run games such as Kingdom Hearts 3 through bottles, but I got to the point where I need to install dependencies and I can't find anywhere a list of which are needed. At all.

It's like every single person talking about Bottles online assumes everyone else already knows every single dependencies every single program needs.

So... how do you find out which dependencies you need? Where do you have to look?

What's the release cycle on Nvidia proprietary drivers

Now that explicit sync is setup in Wayland, how long should I expect to wait for the new drivers to come in

Discussion: Why not make anti-cheat optional?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 8:57am

IIRC there were a few games that had optional anti-cheat, which would separate gamers into two lobbies: Those with anti-cheat, and those without.

Personally I think this is a good solution: If gamers don't mind installing kernel-level drivers to have a pleasant gaming experience, then they're satisfied. If gamers would rather not use anti-cheat (at the obvious cost of cheaters), they're also satisfied.

What would be the downfalls of this approach? The biggest one that comes to mind is segregating the userbase, leading to less concurrent online users available to lobbies.

tips on configuration for gaming only machine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 5:48am

hi guys, i'm making a build for my kids to play current config is:

  • ryzen 5 5600x
  • rx 6600
  • 16gb ram
  • main ssd 250
  • secondary hdd 2tb

i already plan to mount the home directory on the secondary hdd and setting things so steam launches on big picture mode at boot, they will only be playing steam games, emulators and epic games store games (stuff like fallguys) for now so my main focus is boot time and ease to configure wine, i was looking at chimeraOS and dealing with the rest of stuff after installation, i was wondering if anyone had any advice

Issues with Gsync/VRR on Linux Mint + Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 4:49am

Every now and then I will use my LG C2 TV to game and disable the other monitors in display settings. I will boot up Steam big picture mode and play a game with a controller. Regardless of the game the TV will flicker like crazy and it is essentially unplayable. This issue is absent on Windows 11.

I have Nvidia G Sync/VRR enabled on the TV settings as well as the nvidia x server OpenGL settings and I am on an RTX 4090 system with 545 drivers.

I tried the latest 6.5 kernel as well as the one I currently rolled back to (5.15.0-102) and the issues persist. Is there any way to solve this?

Intel HD 3000 gaming performance?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 4:34am

I'm running EndeavorOS (Arch based) on a 2011 Macbook Pro with a Sandy Bridge I5 and no dedicated GPU.

Performance is god awful. I know it's not a modern device but I've maxed it out, SSD swap, RAM upgrade, replaced most components with another near identical model that was in better shape internally.

I did have it in pieces for over two years so I didn't use it during that time but I clearly remember this computer holding its own, mainly minecraft was minimally smooth and stable and browsing the web was just fine, and now it seems like aside from an improved boot time it's worse performance wise.

Heck, I even ran the first version of minecraft I had on it (1.5 in 2011 or 2012) to see if it was just the hardware not catching up to newer code but it still ran like guano.

I switched to Linux in 2016 full time to bring new life into an aging device and it did so extremely well as performance was better than on Mac OS X until mothballing the device in 2021 for restoration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SihpljERpf8 - This is on a same year, near identical cpu, Macbook Air with soldered 4GB of RAM (I have 16) and it runs circles around mine.

I even disabled mitigations on the kernel to see if it helped.

Lutris/Wine - Xbox series X wireless controller not detected

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 3:11am

Hello, hope someone can help me out here. Im using an XBox series X controller with the official wireless adaptor. I got it to work on Steam and emulators perfectly fine with this: https://github.com/medusalix/xone

Now I decided to try Final Fantasy XIV (non Steam version) to see how it performs on Linux. So I got Lutris, installed the game and everything worked out - except the controller. Game didnt detect any controller. I found the wine control panel or whatever its called (where you can see installed games and also connected controllers). No controller to see there either. So, what could be the issue here? Im using pop os, have the original MS xbox x wireless dongle with the driver workaround I linked above. Im also willing to try the inofficial FFXIV launcher but would prefer not to as I dont really like third party launchers. Also when I understand it correctly its basically doing the same thing Lutris does, so the same problem might happen with the launcher anyway.

Steam remote play racing wheel setup - Linux Desktop to Steam Deck?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 2:49am

Hi, wondering the compatibility of the Logitech G923 with the Steam Deck, I assume fine since the drivers are in the Linux Kernel correct?

As a curveball, my plan is to set the racing wheel up on my Steam Deck to use my TV and have more space , and I was wondering if I could use steam remote play to stream my desktop PC for more demanding games and still use my wheel? Specs if needed;

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
  • 32GB DDR5 C36 RAM
  • Intel Arc A770
  • Fedora 39

Does NVidia just freaking hate Linux users or something?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 2:16am

Does NVidia just freaking hate Linux users or something? I still have trouble with my GPU VRam being fully recognized in games...doesn't matter which distro either, if it's not a steam/proton enable game, I can confidently place money on it NOT working properly.

Starcraft remastered doesn't see 8gb of Vram and as such, cannot use the 'realtime lighting' feature.

RAGE 2 runs like a dog, glitching and freezing every 10 seconds and then completely locking up, forcing a hard exit/reboot.

Honestly I thought we had evolved past this petty crap of holding a grudge against people who want something different for themselves, but that clearly hasn't happened.

Really thinking of ditching NVidia and going to an AMD GPU next, then my whole system will be Team Red.

Yes i use ubuntu, but why u dont?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 2:15am

I have many experiences with Linux, i also did many distro hops.

I used for a long time arch with xfce and i3wm.

But now, i just installed ubuntu and it works well. (It also looks very pretty out of the box, where stock gnome fails in my opinion)

I also dont get it why so much people hate on snap. For now, Snap just works for me like Flatpak.

So here is my Question, why everyone hates on Ubuntu?

Roblox on linux 2024

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 1:52am

Is it possible to play roblox on linux today? I have been researching for the past week and im not getting closer. As i understand roblox is blocking wine, but grapefruit and vineger still work, but grapefruit is gone form flathub? Also its officially un officially supported but not really. My point is i am very confused and really want roblox to work on linux as i have a few friends i play with, and i dont want to dualboot just for roblox. I dont have 2 gpus so i cant use a wm either.

I’ve been here before…

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 1:27am

And probably asked the same question years ago, but has Linux in general started to play nicer with AMD drivers? Mainly the AFMF (Fluid Motion) and scaling stuff at all? I saw a post on here saying Windows will start serving ads on the start menu one day and I’m just over it. I’m Linux illiterate and have mild brain damage. Learning is hard but not impossible and I look to the great minds for answers.

Please go gently into this roasting :)

ParaWorld?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 1:16am

Hello, Everyone!

I have been trying to make this old, abandonware game to work in my Linux Mint for weeks now, I just tried yesterday in my windows partition and I finally made it work there (with the help of a patch called PWConnect, available in the MyAbandonware website page for Paraworld).

I have noticed online that a lot of people have this problem about the game freezing in the loading screen for both, skirmish and campaign, both in Windows and Linux, I've seen some people have sorted out this problem (but ONLY in Windows), I saw different fixes like whitelisting the game in the firewall, changing thw resolution of the game, using windowed mode, etc., but in my case I could fixed it with the patch I mentioned above.

However, the story is different in Linux: I have been trying to make it work for about 3 weeks, without success (yesterday I slept 6am trying to do so), I have tried in Lutris, Bottles, Steam and trying to install the PWConnect patch in their respective prefixes, I have used the version of MyAbandonware, a cd I have and a version of the bay, all unsuccessful, getting stuck on this loading screen no matter what I do (I even made a thread in the Lutris r/ but unfortunately no one answered).

I haven't seen anyone so far sorting out this one problem in Linux so far, I've made work every other game but this one, so, my question is: has anyone made this work? Is it worth it investing time or I just forget about this and play it in Windows? I have thought on editing the regedit now that I finally learned how to do it in both Lutris and Bottles but, would that make a difference? (and how can I know which entries to edit?)

Please, let me know...

Thanks!

After latest update, heroic doesn't seem to be working again.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Apr 2024 - 12:34am

Been trying to launch Marvel's Midnight Suns (Epic Version) to no avail. Esync and Fsync are off, and I use proton-ge 7-41. Whenever I switch to wine-ge, the game crashes before entering the main menu. Weird thing is, the game works fine on desktop mode, but in gaming mode, I'm only greeted by a black screen. Any fixes for this?
