How do I fix this?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 05:53

Whenever I try to open a game on steam this happens and I don't know what it means or how to fix this these games are both compatible with Linux so I don't know what's up with this or how to do it? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Huniepop on steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 04:35

Does anyone have luck with running this game on Steam? Distro is Linux Mint v 22 Wilma and I use proton experimental. Any suggestions? When I launch the game, it’s just a black screen for a couple minutes then crashes. No sound

i am very new to linux, noticed that games trough proton (tried proton ge as well), run at a very low cpu clock speed.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 04:09

i5 6600 is my cpu, i tried applications such as blender, and blender does use a high cpu clock speed (3.6ghz+), but games like borderlands 3 with proton, uses max 2.7ghz constant, on all cores. i am using linux mint cinnamon as my os. nvidia controls have perfomance mode on also.

Launched Steam page for open-dialog mystery game - is it clear what the game loop is?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 02:53

Finally got around to putting up a steam page for my first game, "Mens Rea"! Game was developed on linux, runs smoothly on 2070s and newer - happy to discuss any of the implementation details and the linux side of development/deployment :)

(Among a lot of other things haha) I'm wondering: the game loop is a little.. different.. is it clear from the page what it actually is?

The core loop involves open dialog (type free-form, as opposed to clicking dialog options), and somewhat free-form responses from NPCs) to solve conversational puzzles where you navigate through the stages of a conversation. Mostly, this involves navigating which topics to push on (inferred from conversational context clues, information you've gained from other NPCs, clues you've gathered from investigating the environment, etc). Or an NPC might want to be flattered, want to test your knowledge of a particular topic, etc.

The ancillary game elements are less relevant (eavesdropping on conversations, gathering clues, finding particular NPCs, challenging NPCs to bets/games...). Does this come through properly in the limited description? I tried to balance avoiding verbosity with capturing all the important stuff.

It's a hobby game I've made by myself, and the niche ("murder mystery detective") isn't too big, so I I'm not expecting it'll attract much, I just want to make sure it's clear to anyone who is interested how the weird mechanics work :)

cannot use compatibility tools with steam games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 02:16

So this is a weird issue that has come up randomly but out of no where when I try to launch a any compatibility tool for a steam game whether it be proton or any other game I get this error (keep in mind previous games I had installed works just fine, also when changing versions of proton on games I have previously installed I begin getting the error so I know its 100% proton or any compatibility tools fault)

the error that pops up

I have seen other people have this problem as well but their fixes if they were even able to fix it did not work for me, I have tried nearly everything and it does not seem that even moving to a different install folder does the trick. Does anyone have any ideas (im using linux mint 22, if you need any additional system information let me know)

Final Fantasy XVI playing on Steam on both Windows 11 and Nobara causes the Windows version stutter

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17. November 2024 - 00:25

Been playing FFXVI on Windows 11 for quite awhile now and then decided to dual boot Nobara Linux to try playing some games in it, including FFXVI. When I tried playing the game back on Windows, FFXVI now stutters badly! Has anybody experienced this?! Can you suggest a fix? It seems like Steam version of Linux affected the FFXVI's saved game file because when I created a new game on Windows, I couldn't reproduce the stutter anymore.

Need help with Hedge Mod Manager!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 23:50

I've gotten Hedge Mod Manager working using this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/18phld9/hedgemodmanager_steam_deck_installation_guide/

But I've ran into a snag. For some reason, it's only detecting two of my games: Sonic Origins and Sonic Lost World. I have Forces, Frontiers, Colors Ultimate and Shadow Generations all installed on the same drive as the previously mentioned games, so I don't understand why the program isn't detecting them.

To make things even more puzzling, when I try to add the aforementioned games manually to the list, Hedge Mod Manager doesn't recognize their .exe's. I can't seem to find any answers online and asking on Gamebanana yielded no results. Can anybody help me figure out why Hedge Mod Manager is acting like this?

Gamescope on Ubuntu (24.04.1)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 21:39

Greetings.

I'm rather sorry to be back so soon, but to be fair with you, I'm rather dumb in many aspects.

Since I've had trouble getting my games (imported to Steam/Proton) to run fullscreen with (launch settings)

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=0 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_CUSTOM_MODE=1920x1080 %command%

I've thought about installing Gamescope, as advised, and managed to discover this guide.
Unfortunately, the described way resulted in wayland-server dependency related error.

I then attempted to use the advised

git reset 5e8fddf --hard; git clean -fxd; git submodule update --init --force --recursive

, but the command prompts

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I apologise, but I'm rather unfamiliar with git commands and while the Help command does list a number of keywords to choose from, I'm quite unsure as to how to structure them in order to avoid this error!

As to how my games (one as an example) show-up with the FSR command, I've read somewhere it may be due to the games running in a (borderless) window, however, there is no option to change between window/fullscreen in the settings of those games. If I do not manage to install Gamescope after all, would there be any way of resolving the matter?

Garry's Mod Crashing on Void Linux - Buffer Overflow During Loading

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 21:34

I'm running Void Linux with an NVIDIA GPU and experiencing a persistent crash with Garry's Mod. The game crashes consistently during the initial blue loading screen with a buffer overflow error, despite having the latest GModCEFCodecFix installed.

The frustrating part is that the game was working perfectly fine a few weeks ago. Here's what I've tried so far:

- Downgrading NVIDIA drivers

- Downgrading various system packages

- Editing game configs

- Adjusting system memory limits (ulimit)

- Clean reinstalls of GMod

- Different launch options including -nofontcache and -noaasampledfont

- Clearing shader and font caches

- Running the game inside Distrobox Ubuntu

- Running the game inside Conty

As a server owner, having to switch between Windows and Linux just to help players is becoming a major inconvenience.

System Info:

- Void Linux (up to date)

- NVIDIA GPU with driver version 550.127.05

Crash Log: https://pastebin.com/raw/tTvQc7Aj

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional information.

How can I find out which additional packages a Flatpak such as Lutris can use?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 21:13

Hi,

I've successfully installed Lutris as a Flatpak and run a fair number of games on it. I wanted to see the FPS in some newer games, so I installed Mangohud and gave Lutris access to the mangohud config file.

to get this to work, it also requires the installation of an additional Flatpak package which Lutris can use:

  • runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud/x86_64/23.08

However, there are also other versions, such as 24.08 (which doesn't work with the current version of Lutris) and older versions.

Does someone know a way to query a Flatpak installation to see which additional packages it can use, so I don't have to do trial and error with the versions of those packages?

edit: the command "flatpak info <app-name> -e" to show extensions doesn't work. It only shows the packages the installation of this flatpak will pull in; it doesn't show optional packages such as the VulkanLayer.MangoHud one, which is needed to talk to the system-installed MangoHud.

(I would have posted this in the Flatpak subreddit, but that one is 100 times smaller than this one, with a post every 4 days or so. I hope/think the Linux-Gaming subreddit may be more successful in finding an answer.)

PoE with Overwolf on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. November 2024 - 18:10

Hi, does anybody know if it's possible to run PoE (Path of Exile) with Overwolf's PoE Overlay on Linux?

I'm getting kerberos error when trying to install Overwolf with Bottles, with Lutris (not using a lutris.net installer) I could install Overwolf but it crashes when trying to download PoE Overlay. I run PoE with Steam normally.
