Tekken 8: ultra-wide, modding, and FPS unlock?

14 Nov 2024 - 9:00pm

Tekken 8 runs fine natively but I'd like to get parity with the Windows version. This includes three things:

1) Ultra wide working properly

2) Mods working properly

3) FPS unlock working properly. At the moment the only way to do this on windows is with a closed source tool (Tekken Overlay). If there's a workaround on linux please let me know.

System info (if it helps):

A lot of sluttering and low fps in cs 2

14 Nov 2024 - 8:43pm

Actually, fps isn't that low, it's just how it was on windows, but very often it for a second drops to 20 or something like that. Also every time i join game it compiles vulkan shaders, which takes pretty long time and in addition to all of that when I closed settings sound completely disappeared and didn't appear til restart

Farlight 84 (bootleg Apex Legends) starts a new season today

14 Nov 2024 - 7:39pm

It's commonly accepted that Apex Legends supporting Linux was rather important for our community. So for anyone who is still looking for a replacement, there is this game.

Don't look through the old Farlight videos, the game was reworked earlier this year. The fighting mechanics were changed to be more like Apex and the graphics were replaced to be definitively not like Apex.

So don't get deceived by that outrageous UwU art style and the patent-breaking "catch a creature into a ball" roundabout way of picking up grenades from the ground. It's just Apex down to the keybindings, and the newest map is like an AI was given a task to generate an Apex map.

You'll be missing some movement and urban fighting though.

Since the game is fairly recent, the game client is not on its last breath when adding a feature breaks couple of others.

Lobbies sometimes have bots (not now rly). Posting this because even half of a percent of Steam Apex players switching would be solid.

BG3 sound glitching both Linux and Windows

14 Nov 2024 - 6:56pm

Dear fellow gamers,

While hyped for BG3 I've been longing to play but this sound glitch is maddening, it cracks, beeps, breaks up and sometimes just disappears entirely.

To rule out issues I've disconnected all hardware to a bare minimum, CPU (Ryzen 7), GPU (R9 390), RAM (16GB), and 1 SSD, 1 USB for mouse / keyboard. HDMI for sound and image, I've tried different headphones.

But this glitch persists, on Windows (with all known fixes tried) and now on Fedora as well. Even swapped the GPU to an older one, same deal on sound.

What the Hells could this still be??

PS: The twitchy flags and slightly twitchy clothes I can deal with, game looks good otherwise, though I've seen people run without those with the same GPU. Issues are exactly the same despite Windows/Linux, although Fedora leaves more resources for the game and is hence preferred.

Cyberpunk 2077 reshade doesn't work anymore

14 Nov 2024 - 5:54pm

So, when i tried cyberpunk 2077 modding, i tried reshade using reshade-proton by kevinkeller, it worked, but after doing a clean install cuz some mods messed with my game, it doesn't work, i did the same procedure, i put the launch options "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command%" but it still doesn't work. So what will i do?

VRR doesn't work with Bottles

14 Nov 2024 - 5:36pm

Always ran my games through Steam with Proton and VRR worked fine without requiring me to do anything (beyond enabling it in X11), but now I installed Bottles to play with customization and VRR doesn't work. Can't see an option for it anywhere. Only thread I found about this issue didn't have a solution besides "try closing the launcher after starting the game", but my games (ZZZ, Cyberpunk) don't have one. Where to look? Arch 6.11.7, i3wm, all AMD.

Stalker 2 performance

14 Nov 2024 - 5:27pm

So obviously stalker 2 isn't out yet, however since we can see the benchmarks for windows, which is using dlss 3 and frame generation, we won't be able to use it for stalker 2 since proton only does dlss 2? Is that correct?

I'm just guessing I'll likely only see 30 fps with my 4060 on medium settings (1440p monitor) until dlss 3 and frame generation works in proton.

If I'm incorrect could someone shine some light on this for me? Will we possibly see a proton update made specifically for stalker 2? I'm just worried on linux we will take a much larger hit on performance compared to what we're used to.

Skyrim, MO2 with Wrye Bash or Mator Smash

14 Nov 2024 - 5:25pm

I have Skyrim running under MO2 on Artix. Evewwrything works fine except that I can't generate a bashed/smashed patch.

  • Wrye runs under MO2 but doesn't see the enabled mods. And doesn't get an exit button so I can't close it without closing the gamescope window and having to clean up the left over processes afterwards. Even so, I can work around that if I can just it to see my mods.
  • Mator sees the mods, but crashes with an illegal instruction error when I try and do the merge,
  • I'm aware of the native linux port of Wrye, but that won't run under MO2's virtual file system, so it too won't see my mods.

Anyone solved this? I can maybe set it up under VirtualBox and point MO2 at my linux folders and do it that way, but that's a lot of fuss. There's got to be a better way to do it.

Horrible packet loss on cs2

14 Nov 2024 - 3:08pm

The game since the launch has been unplayable for me, because of a constant packet loss oscillating between 10% — 50%.

Game runs flawlessly on Windows, so it has to be a Linux only problem. I saw no difference in x11 and Wayland.

Packet loss occurs in both mm and community servers.

I absolutely love this game, and I don't feel like dual booting windows just for this one game. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I saw a lot of people talking about bad performance compared to windows. Performance wise, it's actually pretty good for me, it runs comfortably above my 165 refresh rate. Sure, the fps are a little bit lower than on Windows, but it's not a problem for me.

Loading stutter in games

14 Nov 2024 - 3:07pm

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue in some games where the game freezes briefly whenever it loads new content. Once the content is loaded, it runs smoothly again. Is there a way to fix this by preloading all game assets before the game starts, or what other fix could be it?

i am using lutris and wine 9.21 staging

Testing various Distros for my fav. MMO (Wine req.)

14 Nov 2024 - 3:01pm

I have been playing Mabinogi MMO since the week of release. I have switched to PopOS several times until they officially blocked VMs in some capacity to block "Multiclient". I swapped back to Win10 just to play this, but i'm also an inhouse-only AI enthusiast who was not looking forward to Window's changes.

Since then, improvements to Wine have been amazing and are in compliance with the games security. Due to this, I have focused on testing different Distros, and 3 specific apps for Wine to run this game.

I have tested Ubuntu, PopOS, Bazzite, Endeavour, Debian12, Batocera, etc... And against the apps in Bottles, Lutris, and Heroic Games Launcher.

My results are more than likely not 100% accurate, but my point blank findings has been at least that most distros work, and flatpaks have little to no reduction to performance.

My excel sheet for Mabinogi on Linux tested list+notes+comparison:
