Batman Arkham serie

30 Oct 2024 - 10:26am

Hi,
Just finished Arkham Asylum, I quite enjoyed the gameplay and the story and I'm considering buying the other episodes on Steam. The thing that is making me doubt is the amount of crashes and issues that I experienced in Arkham Asylum : game not starting (fixed with ProtonUPQT, Proton GE), visual C++ crashes (posted this a month ago) and also random occurrences where the game just closes. Pretty anoying since it takes you out of the game regularly.
In protonDB the game and the others in the serie are classified as Gold, so they should be working as good.
Do you know if the next episodes are working a bit better than Arkham ?

Thanks for your help

Best online multiplier games for Linux in 2024 (And the future)?

30 Oct 2024 - 9:40am

Besides the games published by Valve, any online multiplier games (preferably free to play) that work on Linux, and will likely continue to work in the future? I don't want to invest in a game, only for the devs to suddenly introduce an anti-cheat that will completely ruin compatibility with Linux.

Mouse cursor issue on Wayland

30 Oct 2024 - 9:33am

Hello, I have the Bazzite Linux distribution with the GNOME desktop environment (bazzite-gnome:stable) on my dual-monitor setup. I had been using an X11 session, but with the release of Bazzite 41 yesterday, I switched to Wayland (mainly because X11 is no longer available). My experience with Wayland so far has been good, but I have one strange issue in games (tested mainly with Hunt: Showdown and Counter-Strike 2). When I switch to another application using Alt+Tab, or sometimes when I press only Tab, then return to the game and try to look around, my view gets stuck, and the mouse cursor appears on my second screen. When I move the cursor back to my first screen, I can look around, but if I try to rotate too far, the cursor again appears on my second screen, causing the same issue. This problem did not occur when I was using an X11 session, and I have a recent AMD GPU if that information helps. I wanted to ask if there is any setting or tweak I could use to fix this issue because it is very frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help!

Barebone Linux for World of Warcraft.

30 Oct 2024 - 9:18am

He folks i want to build a OS with linux kernel that can launch the Battlenet app and runs World of Warcraft.

I want to deepen my knowledge about Linux, I have Debian running on all my PC's with heavily customized interfaces. Now I want to know more about it and start with a Linux kernel as a base and only the most necessary to play WoW, it doesn't have to be finished overnight, I want to enjoy the project rather than the result.

can you help me get started and recommend some reading and show me what I should research?

a few keywords that i can enter into google.

What I am currently imagining how something like this works.

  1. put the kernel on the disk.

  2. libraries on the disk.

  3. “Install” wine on the computer

  4. integrate battle.net.

  5. download World of Warcraft and start the game.

I want to make it as bare as possible, on boot only the Battlenet app should be displayed, I don't need a CLI or a desktop, it should really only provide the minimum of necessities.

I would like to run the administration via another operating system. via ssh or something comparable.

this is my given Setup::

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500

Mainboard: Gigabyte B450M H

Ram: 16 GB Noname Ram

Graphics card: MSI Nvidea 1080TI

Disks: Samsung 970 EVO NVMe™ M.2 SSD 1TB

Western Digital WD10EARS Caviar Green 1TB

I would be happy to discuss this topic. I would be happy to hear any concerns, ideas or people who would like to help me.

Wayland input lag with full screen tearing adaptive sync vs no adaptive sync.

30 Oct 2024 - 8:37am

Kde plasma has an option to allow tearing in full screen windows. My question is, does adaptive sync create more input lag when tearing is disabled or decrease input lag. I assume it has to do with frame rate being above or below your monitors refresh rate but I am looking for a second opinion because I can't tell very well based on feel alone. My guess is that no VRR and full screen tearing is the least input lag you can have on wayland as long as the frame rate is higher than the monitor, but this is assuming that screen tearing is actually still happening on full screen windows.

Sudden performance issues in Arch (Anything with 3D acceleration)

30 Oct 2024 - 7:51am

Hey all! I was playing some games earlier and randomly came across an issue, I genuinely don't know what could have caused it (otherwise I would've fixed it by now), but any 3D app (native, or through wine/proton) has SEVERE framerate issues, I have never seen it go above 20fps, there's also an insanely consistent tear directly in the center of the screen.

The effect can be seen running Vulkan natively, openGL natively, and d3dVulkan through proton, it seems to be unrelated to the graphics API being used.

I've tried just about everything, removing and reinstalling drivers, reverting to older drivers, reverting to an older kernel, reinstalling all dependencies, searching forums, checking my kernel arguments in grub, absolutely everything you can think of.

I use hyprland, which may seem like it could be part of the problem at first glance, but absolutely nothing has changed that would cause my performance to drop this severely.

~Specs+OS~

OS - Arch Linux CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 GPU - RTX 3060ti ram - 16gb 3200mhz SSD - samsung 870 evo DE - hyprland Drivers - 560.35.03-open-dkms Display - 1080p Kernel - Arch 6.10.10-arch1-1 x86_64

My specs are mid range, but nothing that would warrant the kind of performance I'm suddenly getting.

Can I run Steam games which I installed in Windows through Linux?

30 Oct 2024 - 5:09am

Linux noob here. So I wanted to play around with Nobara just to see if it felt different from Windows.

In Windows, I created a D:\ games drive and an N:\ Nobara drive. I installed Nobara on N:\ and moved all my Steam installs into D:\Steam.

Then in Nobara I set my Steam library to point to the same partition, but none of the games are booting, no matter which Proton version I use.

Adding non-Steam games from that partition to my library DOES work, however.

Am I missing something very obvious? Is it possible to run Windows "installs" in Nobara?

I think Linus kinda foreshadowed what the "year of the Linux desktop" is actually going to be

30 Oct 2024 - 1:56am

So i am stoned at the moment, so i may be misreading this. In a video about getting trolled into getting a LG Wing (LMG Clips video) he mentioned that with the Google Pixel and Chrome books are getting traction (and are getting good and are decent spec laptops) google is quietly building an eco system like Apple has. Then there is Steam is loudly going great work with the Steamdeck and Proton being awesome. The year of the linux desktop just might be the Chrome Book.

ProtonDB Tweaks?

30 Oct 2024 - 12:58am

I know this has been asked before, but I'm not sure I'm looking at the right spot on ProtonDb to find the tweaks, because I don't see any instructions on which tweaks are needed for any of the games, and when I just use proton with steam, the game doesn't even start, it takes an eternity caching vulkan shaders and then...nothing.

How do you activate native wayland in bottles?

30 Oct 2024 - 12:23am

Soda 9.0
GL

After setting the appropriate key into the register, I wanted to force native wayland by adding DISPLAY into Compatibility/Environment variables. This seems to be taken into account but launching fails and then I get:

warn: wayland.c:1597: no server-side cursors available, falling back to client-side cursors warn: wayland.c:1608: text input interface not implemented by compositor; IME will be disabled

Has anyone managed to run the wayland driver within bottles?

External tool to help share application audio on Linux

30 Oct 2024 - 12:10am

I made a UI to make it easier to combine application and input audio streams on Linux, which can be used to share application audio through your mic as Discord for Linux doesn't support sharing audio when sharing screens or applications.

Running games off a linux server to Windows

29 Oct 2024 - 10:01pm

I was looking into what games are on Windows and realized that they all take up a ridiculous amount of storage. For example, Fortnite takes about 100GB to install. I then remembered I have a Linux home server, and an interesting idea came to me. Can I install my games on my server and then launch them from there onto my Windows machine? I know of people launching games from an external SSD, but does this work with protocols such as ssh, sftp, etc. on a Linux Ubuntu Server? I am new to all of this, so any input would be appreciated.

Need halp changing keyboard layout

29 Oct 2024 - 7:38pm

So, I added multiple keyboard layout in the mint settings and can change between them without any error. But, when playing games changing the keyboard layout don't work for them, they keep getting input as if you layout was still the default one. I saw the solution for this was changing the layout using the terminal and the setxkbmap command. Doing this changes my layout correctly but makes the layout applet on my panel disappear and changing layout using shortcuts doesn't work anymore. Why does this happen ? Doesn't mint settings do the same as the command ? How can I make so Steam games detect my layout properly without having to use commands every time and break the mint layout settings ?
