I'm going insane here, guys.

All I want to is to auto-mount my NAS drive containing my ROMs and for PCSX2 and Duckstation to instantly recognise it.

But every time I set the path and restart my computer, PCSX2 and Duckstation lose the path.

I relocate the path and the path is different from what it was before, I'm assuming this is why PCSX2 keeps losing it, because the path keeps changing.

The path will be originally set to /run/user/1000/doc/12819d19/PS2, I'll restart the computer and then I'll need to change that path to something like /run/user/1000/doc/f97a3f9c2/PS2

I have to do this everytime.

And obviously I can't just use smb:/IP_ADDRESS/FOLDER because PCSX2 doesn't know what it is.

I've tried both Ubuntu and Bazzite, Smb and Cifs to try to keep the path in place.

Is there anything I can do or is this just a weird Flatpak thing I have to put up with?

I've been getting a few crashes, specifically when running Overwatch. Full on crashes in here https://pastebin.com/W3cZyXNU But beyond that, just constantly getting SIDT operations and trying to access memory it shouldn't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault
https://www.kernelconfig.io/config_x86_umip

Now while I won't claim to know everything going on, this does seem to be prertty exclusive to Overwatch. At least as far as the game I've been playing. But these errors occur with Proton 8, 9, GE 9-23, and GE 9-26. But it doesn't seem to be proccing so much on other games, so I'm reasonably convinced this is Overwatch's thing. If anyone can shed some light on what's going on, it would save me a fair bit of concern.

I get this log after attempting the installs of the visual C runtimes. Does anyone know whats wrong here and how to fix?

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a post from a tool I am developing to help on setting VPX Standalone on Linux(and MacOS).

If you are not familiar, VPX Standalone is the Visual Pinball multi platform version.

Pretty much the title, I don't have a great handle on what I'm doing as I've been using linux for all of 12 hours since I finished my first PC build.
I have tried to launch a few games through the steam app using experimental Proton and 9.0-4. The launcher for the game loads and when I try to actually play the game it just comes up black and then quits.
I just updated all my gpu drivers, so that should be ok.
I am wandering in the dark, please help!

I have a laptop with additional 1TB drive, I decided to mount it somewhere and make a Steam library that I can share with my dad on the other account on the same system. Downloading games twice is not an option, because internet gets 2MB/s on a good day and drive only has 200GB left, while we want to play Stalker 2, which takes 155GB

Issues: - You can't have the drive mounted in someone's home directory. But okay, I admit it's a stupid idea anyway. Still worth mentioning (solvable) - When the library is created, despite the drive having permissions for all, Steam will assign it to group of your user, and your user, in my case damglador:damglador (solvable) - To solve this you have to create a group, assign the library to that group with chgrp -R group /path/libraryfolder. Change permissions chmod -R 775 /path/libraryfolder (this allows everything for group and owner and only view for others). Then for new folders to follow the owner group chmod g+s /path/libraryfolder (NOT recursively). The library is now owned and can be acessed by the group and new content in it SHOULD be owned by it, I say SHOULD, because Dolphin doesn't give a fuck: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399270. Now you can add all needed users in the group with usermod -a -G group user, usermod -a -G group user2. - When you seemingly have done it all and it should just work like it would on Windows, nothing can go wrong, right? WRONG. Now if you try to start a game from that library, you'll get: wine: /Path/wine_prefix is not owned by you - Proton prefixes are stored in SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/$APPID/. And you would think "What's the problem? Permissions are right". Wine won't use prefixes not owned by your user specifically. This means you can't play Windows games on that library, at least on every user except one. - What are the solutions? There kinda isn't, they all suck. 1. You can symlink everything except compatdata to another folder and user that 1. Steam may change permissions of the files to something you don't want, breaking games for other users. 2. Long. You can't just symlink steamapps folder, because that's where compatdata is, but at the same time, that's where Steam keeps track of all installed games, so you would need to move/symlink each new appmanifest_$APPID.acf manually 2. Use btrfs or something with deduplication. Downsides: 1. Game library is not synced. This might be a plus, but you'll have to either move game installation and needed files manually to each library in need of it, or redownload them each time 3. Patch Proton https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/pull/4861. Downsides: 1. You have to manually patch each version and update of official Proton or/and your custom proton versions 2. Steam can still mess up permissions in the library 3. Moving the disk to another PC will mess up the prefixes, because they're bind to your user ID (not the Steam one, the system one) and it can and will repeat on different systems. So for example user1 can be 1000 on the first system, user2 will be 1001, but on another system user1 can be 1001 and user2 will be 1000. If you now move the library, user1 will get prefixes of user2 1. Possible solution: move prefixes to compatdata in ~/.steam/steam (or whatever is for flatpak). Downsides: 1. These prefixes can take up considerable amount of space, so if you use a second drive because you're tight on space, you'll still get some space loss :.|;: on the main drive 2. Prefixes won't be moved with the library, though I guess that's the way it is on Windows, so doesn't really matter.

The ideal solution, in my opinion, would be to have Proton store prefixes in the main compatdata instead of the one located in the library, but even the PR mentioned above is already 4 years old, there's a bunch of reports of this issue, and Valve doesn't seem to care. Patching each Proton version manually is more than annoying. You'll still have to hope that Steam doesn't create a file with you as the owner instead of the group.

Perhaps later I'll make a guide for this on ArchWiki, but right now I've wasted on this much more time than I would ever expect and I just want to play some Satisfactory.

Edit: with btrfs route you'll have to create a subvolume for the second library instead of a regular folder, because otherwise Steam will add the whole drive as a library after restart

You can report for games that u play through lutris, but not battlenet games? Why?

When I try to play Pro Soccer Online on Steam in Linux Mint, I get a black screen and then an error appears. After that, the game doesn't launch anymore.

I have been using linux for like 1 and a half , I tried to find some tools that could read and help me to measure a lot of things and get the best performance for gaming , the thing is , I've been searching for a long time to find a program that could measure the input lag in every game just like how nvidia's overlay on windows dose , and I just wanna know why mangohud doesn't have this USEFUL option alongside the other things I see ?

I have tried getting some help or some suggestions in several forums, but I rarely get a response or anything helpful, since this seems to be the premier Linux forum, I am hoping I can get some tips.

Keep in mind, I am still VERY new to Linux, but am a rather experienced Windows user and I have tried getting help on this in several forums,

Long story short:
I have found a way to get reliably get 4K/120/VRR/ HDR 10-bit 444 in Gamescope using my AMD 9070XT on my LG C1 OLED, but it has a very annoying issue and I am hoping someone here might have a script or something I can try that will remove some of the tediousness of getting it to work.
I am posting this in this thread as I feel this is information that many of you will find VERY valuable and maybe it can promote better development in this area. I am sharing my setup as this could completely depend on my setup and I just got lucky having the right hardware.

My setup:
TV: LG C1 65 inch OLED (only 40 GBps HDMI 2.1)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800X3D undervolted to -30
Mobo: Gigabyte AORUS X870I mini-ITX
Memory: 32GB 6000
GPU: Asus Prime 9070XT
PSU: Lian Li 850 SFX PSU
Case: Fractal Ridge
Storage: Crucial 4TB NVME
Controller: Xbox Elite 2 w/ dongle (unreliable)
OS: Bazzite/SteamOS Fedora

It is well known that HDMI 2.1 is not supported in Linux when using AMD GPUs.

However, I have discovered a workaround that when it works is AMAZING..when it works.

I had read on reddit/gitlab that one way people have been able to get full bandwidth 4K/120 10-bit HDR 444 AND VRR using a DP-to-HDMI 2.1 cable from CableMatters using custom firmware.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094XR43M5...fed_asin_title _0_0

Custom firmware:
[https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/re1oa...x7u81j&e=1&st= q5nesci4&dl=0 ]

I was able to get it to work on my system as you can see from the readout.

https://preview.redd.it/15kl4093dmre1.jpg?width=580&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60d3efe3b0cad9d550605a0943fa6bf0e477c5d3

Sounds great, but whats the catch?
The catch is that after an extended shutdown the display will go back to 4K/60 w/ only 422 and I cannot change it back to 4K/120 in Gamescope or in desktop mode. It was so frustrating.

Through several cable exchanges, I finally found a solution that seems to have fixed it and its kind of pain, but I am hoping that sharing this solution will encourage others to try out this cable and see if there is much less of a hassle to get the cable to work correctly.

1. I boot the PC with the HDMI connection. This will load Gamescope with 4K/120 w/ VRR/HDR w/8-bit 420...which honestly doesn't look bad. You would think there is a night and day difference between 8-bit 420 than 10-bit 444, but to my eyes there really isn't.
2. Go into desktop mode, disable the TV (this will require a secondary monitor) output.
3. Unhook the HDMI cable.
4. Hook up the DP2HDMI cable into the SAME HDMI port (yes, the TV is set to PC mode cuz I know that will get asked).

Bam! 4K/120 VRR HDR 10-bit 444 is working again.

As to why? I have no idea why that worked but my only guess is that the TV somehow “remembers” a 4K/120 signal from original HDMI cable and tries to pull that same info from the DP cable and activates all the correct instructions.

I’ll try this again when the TV inevitably goes back to 4K/60.

And yes, the above method seems to work well every time. The only oddity I still notice is rather the Gamebar on my C1 says Freesync Premium or just VRR.

I hope this can lead to a suggestion on some sort of script development so that this can work with a command line as I’d rather not have to do this cycle every time.

My question is:
Is there not some sort of script someone could run? come up with that would potentially eliminate the need to constantly plug and replug.

There is a lot to be gained by sharing this solution and I am hoping the Linux community can figure something out so that we can enjoy HDMI 2.1 features without the bullcrap of the HDMI Forum.

Hey!

So, I got a new problem recently, which is that I cannot double-click desktop icons to open games in steam while it is running anymore.

Errout when trying to start a game while steam is running: steam-runtime-supervisor[511176]: E: Unable to acquire exclusive lock on /home/arokan/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_64/steam
-runtime-sniper.lock: file is busy

Still works when it is closed; steam then boots up and starts the game.

History: This started after I accidentally 7z-d (-sdel) my entire home-folder. After some wild things happened, I started noticing it and unpacked it again. Everything went back to normal, except this.

Permissions seem fine and I can't quite figure out what's going on. Maybe you have an idea.

SR, Arokan

Hello, I'm new to Linux gaming. I was able to download and install some games via Steam and Lutris (GOG) and play them without any problems. 🙂

I have many offline game installers from GOG locally (I use lgogdownloader to archive them) and would like to use them instead of downloading the games again. Unfortunately, I get an error when trying to install No Man's Sky. I proceed as follows:

1. GOG → No Man's Sky → Right Click → Install
2. First Entry (wine, GOG) → Install
3. Installation directory: "/run/user/1000/doc/664853ab/Lutris/gog/no-mans-sky" → Continue
4. Change source from "Download" to "Select file"
5. Select file: "/home/wanderduene/Games/GOG/setup_no_mans_sky_5.60_relics_140919_(80921).exe"
6. Install

After some seconds of loading I get the following error:

Started initial process 213 from /home/wanderduene/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine /run/user/1000/doc/599584bf/Installers/no-mans-sky/gog/setup_no_mans_sky_5.61_relics_141040_(80967).exe Start monitoring process. fsync: up and running. wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely wine: failed to open "/run/user/1000/doc/599584bf/Installers/no-mans-sky/gog/setup_no_mans_sky_5.61_relics_141040_(80967).exe": c0000135 Monitored process exited.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

So, now that overclocking, fan control, and power limit control on Nvidia works in Wayland, as well as VRR with more than one monitor, and otherwise the experience is basically the same as X11 (only maybe a bit better), I finally moved to Wayland like 4 months ago? Well before that, screen sharing on X11 obviously worked perfectly fine.

Well when I saw that it worked on Wayland now (but only with Canary at the moment), I went ahead and tried it (using the AUR package at first). But every single time I join a voice channel and go to share my screen, I get the window that asks if I want to share my entire screen or a single window, I select single window, then it goes to the options page where you select resolution, framerate (but you don't get to pick which window you wanna share or anything), etc. At first I just accepted the defaults but I assumed they might be too high so after that didn't work I tried 720, 30 fps.

Then I hit next, and it ALWAYS does the same thing:

**Screen Share** Whoops, something went wrong. Give it another try? Back Cancel Make Selection

I'm on KDE, and yes I have kde-desktop-portal installed (and running), and it systemctl --user status plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde gives no errors. Nor does pipewire, pipewire-pulse, pipewire-media-session, or wireplumber.

It's been like 5 or 6 years since something that's supposed to "just work" absolutely refuse to work for me without me being able to figure it out myself.

If it matters, here's some log output from the terminal when running Discord from the terminal when I try to screen share:

I do NOT think the audio thing has anything to do with it, as I'm pretty sure that even when my headset has been plugged in I still get the same issue.

AND YES, I'VE TRIED FLATPAK TOO.

I'd really appreciate any help. Like I said, I never really need to ask for help with this stuff and usually I'm the one giving the help, so this is an awkward and frustrating spot to be in.
