Did anyone manage to run the Mount & Balde II: Bannerlord Software Extender (BLSE) through Proton?

20 Jun 2024 - 8:10pm

I installed it according to the nexus page, but when I use protontricks-launch --appid 261550 '$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/bin/Win64_Shipping_Client/Bannerlord.BLSE.Launcher.exe' I receive the error message "Failed to find the necessary game files".

Does anyone here have any experience with it?

Thanks in advance :)

Diswoe ("fake" switch) Pro Controller not working

20 Jun 2024 - 5:05pm

Hi,

I have a Bluetooth gamecontroller (Diswoe Pro Controller, should be recognized as Switch Pro Controller) that will connect, shows up and connects in blueman. But thats it, cant use it, doesnt show up in /dev/input. I installed the nintendo-hid, I updated my kernel, but no luck.

The controller works on my SteamDeck, but not on my linux mint desktop, any ideas??

(Running Linux Mint 21.4 and 6.5.0-41-generic kernel, if that matters)

Edit: PS. Have a XBoxOne Bluetooth controller that works fine.

Is Linux Gaming for me?

20 Jun 2024 - 4:57pm

Hello,

Check the bottom for TL;DR, if not then i thank you for your patience.

I've always ever played on Windows, but i'm a moderate power user of linux, having both a debian VPS and a local proxmox running all sort of stuff.

An age-old issue of mine is save file corruption, starting back in the PS1 days, i reached the 3rd disk of Final Fantasy VIII, only to have my save file deleted, i was so devastated i never went back to it, still to this day i never finished that game.
And, oh boy, the exact same thing happened for FFIX, Control, Monster Hunter (cant remember which one), Assassin Creed Brotherhood, Morrowind, Nier:Replicant, and i am sure some more that i am forgetting. I'm in general an absolute idiot when it comes to save files and either due to bugs, OS fuckups, or literally retarded me deleting the save accidentally or forgotting to migrate it, many many beautiful games were never finished.
My adoption of Steam and its Save cloud somewhat made the situation better, but i still am afraid for non steam games especially while multiplatforming as i have 2 PCs and i alternate between them.

Now, one day i dropped a GTX1060 (now upgraded to a 1080) into my DIY server and out of curiosity i setup a Windows VM in proxmox with GPU passtrough. To my surprise, trough the use of Moonlight, games were not only playable, but actually enjoyable, at moments I'd forget it was a streaming. There i got the idea, what if with something like Syncthing, i keep all my save files syncronized among all my PCs, so that no matter if from my gaming PC, the Proxmox VM, or a third PC, i always have my save files available?

The issue with that is that many games, especially old ones, will put save files in all sort of places, not necessarily Documents. A solution to that would be something like Ludusavi, so that i can export all the save files in a specific folder and later restore them. But i still would have the "issue" of may different platforms (Steam, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft) and managing them, but it's something that Playnite can solve. The biggest issue now would be with Windows' shenanigans and usual fuck ups, they could be mitigated by something like Atlas or Rev OS, but those are "in extremis".

So i thought that the best "experience" when it comes to the streaming server would be something like a PS5, you turn it on (or connect moonlight) and you are presented with a list of games, doesn't matter where they were bought from or if they are old CDs you had in a wardrobe, you just click and the game starts, when you are done, the save files are syncd among 3 different PCs and a NAS, ensuring that they stay there forever.
The best thing that comes to mind is having something leveraging Proton, like GameHub or Lutris, plus some custom scripts to tie everything together.

The only thing i didn't solve yet is different configurations, like graphical settings and so on. Proton's Wine will have a Windows Registry shared among all windows applications, correct? This means that if by chance a game "fucks", everything is gone, or am i wrong? Ideally i would like something highly encapsulated, to the level of "an LXC for each game" kind of thing, like old style game cardtrige, where all the game files, configurations, settings and so on are enclosed in their own space and cannot interact among eachother. Is such thing possible/viable?

TL;DR - i am an idiot that likes to lose save files, i want to have my Windows PC and my Linux "Google Stadia thing" to sync games and save files among each other, plus (in Linux's case) a PS5-like game starting/chosing experience, but everything as modular as possible. Am i thinking of flying horses or it's possible?

Thank you all for your time.

Not being able to use microphone in Unturned (Ubuntu 24)

20 Jun 2024 - 4:25pm

Hi I recently installed Ubuntu 24 and wanted to play Unturned, I have a sufficiently fast cpu, gpu, ssd and enough ram. Unturned left alt key is enabled for speaking in-game however the voice is not recorded and so cannot speak.

Discord can access microphone with no problem, the mic is listed in Discord's settings and in steam voice settings it is not.

I figured it could be a permissions problem so I disscovered that steam directory is root owner, but the folders within are userw owner. by accessing /dev/snd which were supposed to be related to audio IO, I found 3 files that were being refreshed when Discord microphone was used, so I did chmod 777 on those directories and no change, I then did chmod 777 on the fill /dev/snd folder and no change. There are boot settings that overwrite these chmod configurations on boot so I am not able to reboot "to apply changes" (I hjaven't tried overwriting these boot settings). I did these commands on root login.

Then, I tried looking at the owning groups of /dev/snd and it was root audio, so I added myself "userw" to belong to audio group, no change yet.

One thing to mention is that there is an icon that appears on the task bar (as well as in Windows when you use the microphone), this icon appears too when Discord is using the microphone, but when trying to use it on Unturned by pressing the left alft key, it appears just for a split second and dissapears, which kind of tells me more that it's about a permission problem.

I couldn't find other directories for sound IO directories. Although I followed this idea because when I tried using Arduino IDE 2 on this same system, I couldn't access the arduino because /dev/ttyACM0 was denying the permission to access, so I myself "userw" to dialout group, this dialout group is owner as well as with root group to the /dev/ttyACM0 and other directories (Directories for serial IO i think.)

I'd like to post this to see if anyone has any idea of what could I specifically look for in the internet, as I've done some search and can't find different ideas. I'd appreciate.

Problem at the start of Elden Ring after updating

20 Jun 2024 - 4:09pm

Hey!

I just bought SotE and after installing it I get this message ...

Before this the game run absolutly fine and stable for ... quite some time.

I mean, I surely could play offline, but I like helping others so I really would like to get summoned and for this I need the online mode.

System is a Linux Mint Debian Edition. Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime is installed. Up until now it worked with Proton Experimental (well ... it still does).

Does anyone have a similar problem and maybe even found a solution to this?

Thanks! :)

Games behaving differently on Xorg than on Windows/Wayland

20 Jun 2024 - 3:20pm

As the title says - games are behaving different on X, not sure how to describe it better so here are the things I've noticed:

  • mouse clicks randomly don't register (and what's even weirder is that in some cases in Team Fortress 2 the viewmodel animation changes but I don't shoot)
  • rocket jumping in TF2 is way harder, I get less height
  • in Deep Rock Galactic I can't seem to be able to do the fast deposit trick or the fast reload trick

Since the last two things need fairly precise timing this leads me to believe that the issue is definitely input related, but I have no clue where to go further, and I can't find information about something like this anywhere. This issue started since i switched from Arch to NixOS. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please comment.

I'm on NixOS unstable, AMD GPU, Intel CPU. On Xorg i use i3 and picom, Sway on Wayland. I've only experienced this issue in games. If there is any more important information I should give please let me know.
inxi -xxACGS output:
from xorg
from wayland

XIVLauncher Issue

20 Jun 2024 - 2:54pm

Not sure where to ask - this seems about as good of a place as any. Using EL9 (CentOS Stream/RHEL) for certifications. Tried to install XIVLauncher on it and run ff14 just do fishing/stuff while I'm bored. And the thing doesn't run. It has the correct GLIBC, the kernel isn't "too" old and the mesa/vulkan are about as up to date as you need. Yet when I launch the game it says: "Cannot obtain process handle". Nothing diagnostic about this error message.

I've seen that some people have gotten this error trying to play XIVLauncher/FF14 on SteamDeck so I'm hoping someone here who had THAT error can tell me what they might've done.

Like I said, this is EL9 so I'm not exactly optimistic this thing runs so I won't be heart-broken if it doesn't. But it seems like it should run - I'm just lacking a library or something I don't know about.

What's the best way to use discord (x11)?

20 Jun 2024 - 12:35pm

Usually whe I play with my friends we would share our gameplays trough discord screen sharing but this is always such a pain to do for me, with performance issues, screen sharing not working a 100% of the time...

I have tried the offcial client, Vesktop, Discord Screenaudio, Webcord and the browser (Brave). Vesktop has the best peromance when it works, sadly it doesn't work every time.

I just need

-To be able to share without killing my frames in the game and my discord perfomance (audio stuttering)

-The ability to share audio (I don't need audio a 100% of the time but I do need to share audio sometimes)

-Noise Supression: Discord Krisp is pretty good but if there's a custom client that doesn't support it then at least I need an alternative.

I really don't want to go back to windows just for Discord but it's really ruining my gaming experience with my friends, so please if you have any advice I would be really thankful.

This is my system just in case: (the gpu is an RTX 4060ti)

Steam Family Share broken

20 Jun 2024 - 12:00pm

Hi, I'm having trouble seeing games shared with me through Steam Family Share. I have two OS installed on my PC: Windows and EndeavourOS, each on its own drive. After activating Family Sharing on Linux, I can't see those games. On Windows, everything works fine. Any ideas?
