Weird keyboard issue

5 Jun 2024 - 7:53pm

I been playing Enshrouded for some short while, all cool and good no issues.

Today I disconnected my PC to double check what memory I have cause I was ordering an upgtade.

After I reconnected everything the game seam to stop working in a k&m mode... Or rather the game shows key shortcuts and left right mouse buttons work, in menu mouse works fine but no keybord input or camera motion is detected in game... I tried switching proton versions and disconnecting all devices but key and mouse... Nothing changes. Game works with controller fine but Id ratger play with K&M as I already got used to it...

Any help?

Is Prickle Linux-Friendly? Let Us Know!

5 Jun 2024 - 7:13pm

Hey guys! I'm part of a small indie team, and we released the demo for our new game, Prickle, last week.

It was very important to us that from the first moment it be available for Linux (and macOS).

While the game is officially Linux-supported, we didn't have any Linux-based playtesters.

If you want to help us and the Linux community, download the free demo and let us know if there's anything wrong - that would be fantastic.

There's a feedback button in the game itself, but you can also DM me or talk to the team on our Discord server.

Thank you so much!

GPU Utilization always around 75% when gaming

5 Jun 2024 - 6:25pm

I recently switched from Xorg to Wayland since the Nvidia 555 drivers released. But when I play Red Dead Redemption 2 on Wayland my GPU Utilization is always around 75% and never around 97% like it was the case on Xorg. Nothing is overheating either and I don't have VSync or VRR enabled. The game also has less FPS on Wayland since the GPU Utilization is lower. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am running Fedora 40 and a RTX 3070 with Gnome 46.2 and Nvidia 555 drivers on Wayland.

Is there a way to upscale a game's resolution using a Xephyr server or to change an enviroment colors (DPP) using wine/gamescope...?

5 Jun 2024 - 2:59pm

Hello, everyone!

I have been trying to run properly Deadlock 2 (1998 game) for a few days now, it's possibly the hardest one so far, at least to run properly...

I was able to pull up the ddraw.dll fix and the game runs in all lutris, steam and regular wine.

However, in steam and lutris+gamescope there is an issue with the colors: because the game was built when systems were 16-24dpp (max 16M colors), the colors are displayed in a wrong way sometimes and the cursor flickers in a black square whenever I move it...

I tried running it in Xephyr via lutris (as well as an external Xephyr server + regular wine) and I can select the DPP I want, the colors & the cursor are fine but I haven't been able to upscale it (it runs at a measly 640x480 resolution, I can barely see anything)...

I tried multuple other tools alongside Xephyr like xrandr and x11vnc but xrandr doesn't detect my xephyr display for some reason and x11vnc sends an error when I run it with Xephyr (context_choose_pixel_format Trying to locate a compatible pixel format because an exact match failed), maybe I'm doing something wrong...?

This is my script for x11vnc:

Xephyr :2 -screen 1366x768x16 -sw-cursor -softCursor -dpi 300 &

DISPLAY=:2 wine DEADLOCK.EXE -w &

x11vnc -scale 3x3 -display :2

So, my question is, is there any way to either run gamescope with less colors (or any custom DPP) or an effective way to run & scale with a Xephyr server...?

Please, LMK...

Thanks!

EA App not displaying Library

5 Jun 2024 - 2:50pm

Greetings all,

I face the issue that the EA App is starting up properly but it's not showing my Library. I can browse in the app an e.g. look at the Store, but the Library never loads my games.

My GF wants to play Sims 4, which worked amazing a couple of days ago, but since a recent EA App update I face this issue.

I have that on both my machines (both run Fedora 40, always up-to-date) and with Lutris and Bottles. I tried a bunch of Runners but none change this behavior.

Does anyone in here has some tips for me? Switching to the Steam Version is not an option for us, as my GF already has a bunch of AddOns on the EA Version of Sims 4.

Here you can see how the screen looks:

Linux gaming on an ancient GPU?

5 Jun 2024 - 2:00pm

Friend's GPU fried, I gave them my old HD 7870 but we can't figure out how to make it properly run stuff on Linux. Radeon kernel driver seems useless and on AMDGPU with enabled support for Southern Islands cards the performance is atrocious in every game we tested with Proton. Is there some kind of an additional tweak or are those GPUs just bad for it on Linux? I had an R7 360 in past and it worked fine with AMDGPU. Card is definitely okay, I tested it on a Windows installation.

Apps with no internet

5 Jun 2024 - 1:16pm

Hello

I've been trying to get heroic games launcher to work on my steam deck and when I launch it it just says it's got no internet connection. I posted on their discord and they're saying it's failing all it's connectivity calls. The discord app is also very slow and doesn't actually seem to load.

Chrome and Firefox seem to work fine.

The discover store says other people are having this error.

Flat seal says heroic should have access to my network and I even ran a reset command I was given on their discord.

Just wondering if anyone had experienced this and had a solution?

Thanks

Can this be done?

5 Jun 2024 - 12:44pm

I'm looking to switch to Linux soon once I'm more understanding of Linux itself. I'm currently testing 3 different distros through VMWare. Kubuntu, Ubuntu and trying to get KDE Plasma to work (not working so far).

I'm also moving off of Steam with the exception of FO76. Basically I'd like more control and less intrusion. I also like owning the games I buy.

My current games from GOG are Oblivion, Skyrim AE, Fallout 3, NV, and FO4.

My only Steam game is FO76. If I could fully drop Steam, I would.

I also run NFS Pro Street, Shift and Shift 2 off exe.

Would all of this be feasible? If a different distro is needed I am willing to test it out too.

Unable to get RE2 Remake modifications to work

5 Jun 2024 - 12:02pm

I've been using Linux for the past 6 months and 99% of things that I needed to do worked completely flawlessly.

Yesterday, I decided to have the want of installing some modifications for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Checking the documentation for the mod, it tells me to use the "Fluffy mod manager", which is a windows only program, however, I just put it in Steam so it can detect my game files easier and ran it with Proton.

After placing the modification in the Mods folder of the manager and running the game, it completely freezes when trying to load game data, and it freezes in a really unfriendly way - I can't alt+tab to any other program, alt+f4 does completely nothing, so I just need to wait around a minute until I get automatically taken back to the login screen of the computer. Not an expert or anything, but I think that means that Cinnamon completely crashed.

Attempts of finding information about the usage of the mod manager on Linux have taken me absolutely nowhere, so here I am writing this post - maybe someone has experience with this and can help me.

I'm thinking of moving over to Linux after the recent Windows Recall announcement

5 Jun 2024 - 11:28am

However I have some worries about the change. I tested running mint on my older gaming laptop and did enjoy the change. My worry comes from the amount of work to get games to work on Linux. Most games i got running by using the steam proton layer, however there are some games that are not on steam which worry me.

I mostly play on World of Warcraft private servers. I specifically spend most of my time playing on the server r/Turtlewow, which means a custom client which is updated regularly. I got it running also through steam, but when updates came around i found i had to use windows to download the update. The redo all my add-ons and copy the settings from the old folders.

I am technically savvy, the challenge is something I'm willing to take on. I'm thinking either running Fedora or Arch. Mint is nice, but I wanna try other distros as well. I heard Lutris is a good tool to use, will it work with the patching turtle wow does? Also will Nvidia overlay work with screen recording?

All tips and tricks are welcome :)

No launching games in Steam

5 Jun 2024 - 10:33am

Yesterday i install steam from the multilib repository in arch linux, and i went to olay some games the dwarf fortress launch in the frist attempt, but i think after enabling proton it wont launch again(i am not using proton on dwarf fortress because it should run out of the box) and i have app armor i say it because yesterday it was blocking the steam-runtime process to acess some process and it wasent launching(it is fixed). When i launch a game it show "launching..." and after that it closses and the play button is green again, nothing shows and nothing is launch. Anybody knows what it could be?

Update 1: I forget to mention but i use, hyprland(wayland), the kernel Linux Linux(Arch) and a Nvidia Card with the version 550 from nvidia drivers.

When I try to start either doom 1993 or doom 2 I get this pop up. This happens on my x230 with opensuse TW and on my custom built pc with Garuda Linux. The issue persists on Wayland and xorg.
