EA Launcher wont download through steam proton. error code: INST-14-1603

20. März 2025 - 15:36

I was able to install the launcher with lutris but I still can't play the game I bought on steam because it's tied to the steam account, even though I logged in with my steam.

Launch .exe without moving it

20. März 2025 - 15:27

Hello, I've some DRM-free games on an other hard drive that I used for windows. Is there a way to launch those .exe games, some needs Microsoft visual c++, so I can't launch just by clicking the exe file.

I know how to play it through lutris but I can't figure out how to launch directly from their location.

Thanks for help !

Does XFCE offer any options to automatically disable the compositor when entering a fullscreen game/app?

20. März 2025 - 14:37

I've seen conflicting answers on this when searching online. Some say to look in the compositor settings and some say it can't be done. If it matters I'm on MX Linux 23.5 xfce "advanced hardware support" edition. I don't see anything like this in the settings other than MX's Tweak tool having some options with the compositor to swap from compton to the regular xfce compositor to no compositor at all. I'd like to have a compositor when just using my desktop since it has some nice transparency effects, if possible.

8Bitdo Pro2 controller not recognized on Manjaro in Windows mode anymore

20. März 2025 - 14:15

Hi, I've been using an 8Bitdo Pro2 controller for a while now, without issues, on Manjaro using Steam.

Until today the Windows mode on the controller was recognized as an Xbox controller on Steam and on the system controller settings, but now both of them stopped recognizing it unless I use the Switch mode.

When using the Switch mode it is recognized as a Switch Pro controller by both the system and steam, but the steam input option doesn't seem to do anything for compatibility.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have problems with NVIDIA 570, 565 drivers, but what driver is considered as stable?

20. März 2025 - 13:35

Is 560 the stable version right now for Ubuntu? Or 555 or even older?

When keeping old kernel versions after updates, can I associate them with a specific (older) Nvidia driver version in the boot menu?

20. März 2025 - 09:45

Hi all,

I am using Fedora 41, and more or less happy with the system. However, I have the problem that some games crash with older Nvidia drivers, some games crash with newer drivers, and I cannot fix this by switching around with WINE runtimes, it really needs the drivers.

Now if I have a "known good" combination of kernel and drivers, can I somehow keep that on the boot menu? Currently I have older kernels on the boot menu, but they immediately start compiling the latest nvidia driver version when I select them, which sometimes works, sometimes doesnt (because some drivers need 5.13+). Any way the end result is my game does not work.

So I would like to use latest kernel+latest driver by default, but be able to switch back to older kernel AND older driver in boot menu. Is there any boot option etc. that would accomplish this?

Thank you for your help...

Dune benchmarks 7800 XT, question about TAA&FSR - when to turn on FG

20. März 2025 - 09:08

Hi, just of pure curiosity I ran Dune:Awakening benchmark available on Steam, scores will be put in photo below, left is TAA no FSR and FG, right is just FSR. I was curious because of the permanent RT in UE5 games, which turned out to be not a big problem on mine RDNA3.

My specs:

- CPU: R5 7600,
- RAM: 32 GB 6000 MHz CL30,

- GPU: Sapphire PULSE 7800 XT,

- kernel: 6.13.5-102.bazzite.fc41.x86_64

- installed on NVME SSD SN580 WD 1 TB gen 4.

I upgraded my PC not long time ago, I read about FSR and FG, but as I've never had to use them (turns out likely tweaking settings a little will allow me not to use it much in the nearest future as well), but my question is:
What should I use first, having the Radeon GPU, TAA turned out to result in higher FPS, image quality seemed similiar to FSR. So is it the FSR I should opt 1st when I will have to, or at first I should turn on the Frame Gen, and then FSR? Or maybe they should go together. It might sound stupid, but I've never bothered using it, and I'm just now figuring it out as I'm about to upgrade to 1440P monitor soon.

Also, if someone has similiar specs and is willing to share his results maybe on different kernels, it would be nice to compare.

Game ran on Proton 9.0.4.

Terraria thinking a controller is detected.

20. März 2025 - 06:21

Alright, just so we are clear, no other game was having an issue but, I noticed then when I plugged my keyboard in (gmmk 3 HE wired) steam would show that there is a controller connected. When I unplugged it for a different keyboard Steam would stop showing that a controller was connected. Turns out the rbg controller for the keyboard. was being detected as a controller.

So what I ended up having to do was add a rule in the rule.d folder that just doesnt authorize it to do anything.

after adding that and restarting it seems to have fixed the issue, the rgb on my keyboard still works as intended.
