Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 crashes because of Wine C++

18 Jun 2024 - 8:35am

This is the error: Assertion failed! Program: Wine C++ Runtime Library X Z:\home\snipex.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c X Line: 39 Expression: "Istatus && "vkAcquireNextImageKHR Press OK to exit the program, or Cancel to start the Wine debugger. OK Cancel

The error appears when it tries to load the settings when the game opens after i downloaded the whole game.

I tried using proton tricks to install vcrun2019, still it didn't work.

protontricks -c "winetricks dxvk vcrun2019" <app_id>

any ideas how to fix the game?

gyro aim with ds5 or ds4 on steam.

18 Jun 2024 - 7:32am

Hey, I wanted to try gyro aim on apex legends, and I was following a guide, but when I went to calibrate the gyro, in the calibration section there was no gyro. I was following the guide because the gyro didn't work in any other games I have tried, and I hoped I had missed something. I tried with a ds4 and ds5 which both produced the same issue (via Bluetooth and USB for the ds5) I see no gyro settings tab or led tab. Is this a change in steam UI since the guide was made or is this a known issue with gyro for ps4 and ps5 controllers. any help would be super appreciated and have a great time!

XDefiant - Weird Bug

18 Jun 2024 - 6:16am

Hi all!

I’m a new user here—I’ve only been reading posts but this is my first time posting.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has been having the same issue as me in XDefiant, and if you fixed it, how so.

Using Lutris, I installed Ubisoft Connect, and from there I installed XDefiant. I also added the necessary pdh.dll to join matches.

I’m having the weirdest issue where when I join a match in progress, the game runs just fine. When I join a new match that’s just started, however, I get kicked in about two minutes. I’ve tried using wine, proton-ge, and proton experimental all with the same results. I’m on the latest version of Linux Mint.

Thanks everyone!

Do HDMI -> DP 2.1 cables work for 4K 120+HZ?

18 Jun 2024 - 3:47am

I'd like to use my laptop (XPS 15 7590 | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) connected to my LG GP950 to display 4K 120+HZ. My laptop only has HDMI and no DP. Could I use an HDMI -> DP cable to do this? Just wanted to check if anyone's tried before purchasing myself.

GPU memory clock frequency dropping and causing massive FPS loss in games

18 Jun 2024 - 3:01am

System deets: Old 1440p 60hz fixed-rate monitor, Fedora 40 KDE, RX580 GPU, gamemode enabled, Kernel 6.8.10 (also tested 6.8.6), Steam native binary for all affected games (tested many different Proton versions to no avail).

I've posted a few times before trying to figure out the infamous Fallen Order pause menu fps drop, as well as a fps drop in Star Wars Squadrons. Running radeontop while the drops happen I clearly see that the memory clock frequency of my GPU is also dropping while this happens (sometimes the shader clock frequency drops as well). The memory clock will drop anywhere from 80% to 50% of max. Obviously the lower the memory clock frequency drops the worse the fps.

Much googling led me to this post about the power profile switching, which I implemented and confirmed does activate the different power profiles as expected, but it doesn't make any difference in game whatsoever.

Whenever the game changes "scenes," such as entering the pause menu in Fallen Order or dying/entering the hangar and selecting a new ship in Squadrons, it's a roulette of how many fps you'll have when returning to the game.

The only remedy is to force a "scene" reloading by pausing and unpausing a bunch (Fallen Order) or minimizing/maximizing a bunch (Squadrons).

Using the AMDVLK driver does seem to solve this particular problem, but runs like such garbage it ain't worth it.

I really thought the power profiles thing would fix it but that did nothing, so maybe something else is afoot?

Any ways for a sorta-noob to diagnose this further? I really don't want to go back to Windows but I might not have a choice if I can't solve this.

Gamescope on Debian Testing (package was removed)?

18 Jun 2024 - 2:18am

Hello,

It looks like Gamescope has been removed from the Testing branch: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gamescope - it was removed back in January 2024, and I doubt it's any sort of priority for the Debian devs.

Besides building it myself, is there an alternative way to install it? My searches so far have yielded nothing, probably because it's normally in the repo. It seems like there should be a way to grab the version from Stable, but not sure how I would go about doing that...I'm loosely familiar with Backports but I don't think that's what I need.

Thanks for reading!

I cannot find where to add Proton GE to proton versions on steam

18 Jun 2024 - 1:51am

I downloaded Proton GE from Glorious Egrolls github page, and extracted it, but I cannot seem to find where the compatibility proton folder is.

The steam version is from openSuse tumbleweeds repos.

Thank you in advance.

Overlays on Linux

18 Jun 2024 - 1:11am

So a big reason as to why I'm still struggling fully switching to linux is overlays.
Mainly things like Corsshair X and Overwolf apps like Firestone.

Therefore the question is it possible to get them running on linux or at least similar things?

I've tried crossover but that would never actually overlay over proton games and I've tried Hearthstone Deck Tracker but on one hand it's just worse than Firestone imho but it would also crash after like 5 minutes.

Need help

17 Jun 2024 - 11:19pm

Hi. I'm a noob when it comes to Linux gaming (and Linux in general). Checked out ProtonDB and saw a few games I wanted to play, they where compatible with Linux and wanted to try myself. I dowloaded the lastet version of Mint and tried to play Pathfinder: WotR, but -when I try to open it- a window pops up and shows me this:

Can anyone help me?

Sub-optimal performance on Linux

17 Jun 2024 - 10:35pm

I tried Linux about a week ago on my laptop. I heard games run the same or sometimes even better than on Windows but that was not what I experienced. All of my games ran much worse than on Windows. I was using gamemode, limited my fps to 60, but it was still stuttering for me. It stutters sometimes on windows too, but not this much. This is the main thing I went back to windows from linux.

My specs:

Ryzen 5 3500U

8 gb ram (i can only use 6 gb because of the Vega 8 in my CPU)

dedicated gpu: Nvidia MX230

I tried using the following distros: Linux Mint (Mate, XFCE)

Nobara

Help installing dxvk on Linux Mint

17 Jun 2024 - 10:29pm

Hello everyone, first time posting here I think so I hope this is well-crafted enoug as per rule 2 hahah. Okay, so, I've been trying to install dxvk on my computer, afaik i already have versions of it installed thanks to lutris and proton but im making my own wine prefix for Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the new one) and it seems like it's better to have a fresh install of dxvk in my wine directory but every time i try i get this error when trying to run the set-up script from dxvk-master:
"bash: ./setup_dxvk.sh: No such file or directory"

And it is right because when i check the folder I see only build.64 when to my knowledge there should be 64 and 32bit builds both and the missing setup script.

Additional Info:
OS: Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon ("Ulyanna"). Cinnamon version: 4.6.7. Linux kernel: 5.4.0-186-generic
PATH: /home/gg379/.nvm/versions/node/v18.15.0/bin:/home/gg379/.local/bin:/home/gg379/.cache/activestate/bin:/home/gg379/.local/ActiveState/StateTool/release/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/gg379/.dotnet/tools:/home/gg379/.komodoide/12.0/XRE/state

8bitdo Ultimate - Fedora 40 Workstation - does it work?

17 Jun 2024 - 10:27pm

Hi all,

Could only find older threads on the subReddit about the controller, and it was a bit patchy a year ago by the sounds.

Has anyone had luck running this controller on Fedora?

Their official list says they support Raspberry pi, which would run an older kernal from Debian, so id hope it works with a newer kernel, but I wouldn't want to assume!
