What are some good recommendations on ways to mod Fallout New Vegas on 2025?

17 Mar 2025 - 8:25pm

I've tried both Vortex and Mod Organizer 2 on Lutris but none of the setup methods seem to work nowadays. For example, the script of Mod Organizer 2 uses the wrong steam game id for Fallout. Any tips?

Thanks in advanced.

Reshade and FFXIV not working

17 Mar 2025 - 7:19pm

Good Afternoon,

I have recently installed FFXIV via XIVLauncher and installed reshade via kevinlekiller's install script to the path /home/bailey/.xlcore/ffxiv/game, this appears to be the installation location based off of XIVlauncher

https://preview.redd.it/d8bsqhvkkape1.png?width=1358&format=png&auto=webp&s=96e818a34afcb24017daec84a6f83c0e1265dd21

I added the launch arguments from the reshade install script to additional game arguments in XIVLauncher but upon running the game the ReShade overlay never appears.

Any advice is greatly appreciated and I can provide any other info needed

linux gamkng razor synapse macro replacement?

17 Mar 2025 - 5:49pm

my apologies, the post title has a typo. It was supposed to read: linux gaming razor synapse macro replacement? Unfortunately there's no way to edit the title. 🤦‍♂️ if this post is helpful, you're welcome. 🤓

as there is currently no functional example and, as we all know, the laser macro component of Synapse does not function in Linux. I decided to investigate and determine which ones are effective.

Although I adore my Razor keyboard, I'm not a huge fan of Linux's software support. I would prefer to use it without any software related to the hardware installed after extensive testing. Even without software assistance, the backlight functions well.

However, I cannot live without the macro support.

I've been using one called autokey for the past year or so. Up until last week, it functioned flawlessly on almost any Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. I can now conclude that its being detected and blocked some games that I played on Steam thanks to recent updates. I reasoned that there must be a method to get around it. I then began searching for a key remapper. bingo, found a solution after one day of troubleshooting & testing.

Enjoy. 😎

PSA: scrcpy is quite alright for TFT

17 Mar 2025 - 5:22pm

If you have an Android phone, using scrcpy to mirror your it is actually quite convenient if you want to play Teamfight Tactics on your PC screen.

Steam Remote Play Together fix for Nobara 41

17 Mar 2025 - 5:07pm

Hi. This seems to become a bit of a pattern with me and Remote Play..

On Mint the fix was simply to turn off Hardware acceleration for Remote Play. Great.

I'm giving Nobara a try atm, and it seems to have a bigger problem with Remote Play Together.
As in, it won't launch at all when accepting an invite to a Remote Play session with a friend. All I see is something changes at the top of my Steam Friends list for less than a second and then nothing.

I have not done anything except run System Updates from the update manager and installed a few games.
It's a completely stock Nobara (Official) installation.

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32Gb, nVidia 3080ti, Driver Version: 570.124.04.

So, any idea what I need to do to fix it this time? HW Acceleration ON or OFF didn't do anything. I haven't tried to disable HW Acceleration for Steam itself yet.

17 Mar 2025 - 4:25pm

when i open the origin overlay (by pressing Shift + F1 or pressing the invite friends button) i get an error

and when i go to the app windows after opening the game i get an error saying

Some features have been disabled because the EA app launched from another application

and when i try to change my online status nothing happens, i have tried multiple proton versions and proton-GE and still didn't work.

Radeon RX 580 Pricing

17 Mar 2025 - 3:50pm

Several people on this sub have recommended that I get a Radeon RX 580 as I'm mostly playing games pre-2019. This would be an upgrade from an Nvidia 660ti. I found this one on Amazon for $150 and wanted to see if this was a good price. It seems that people say that you can get the 580 for $50 but I'm assuming that's used. I'm also assuming if I get this card its not going to play the latest AAA titles?

New RTX 5090 Founders Edition crashing with weird visual artifacts in Linux and Windows.

17 Mar 2025 - 2:35pm

I just installed my new RTX 5090 FE and ran DDU and now in every game I am experiencing crashes. I have tried lowering power limit to 75% and changing clock speed by -250 mhz. I am really hoping my card is not defective. I have attached an image of what the artifacting looks like before crashing. It looks memory related to me. I am coming from a 4090 FE that had no issues like this at all.

https://imgur.com/a/IMboVUo

I will try setting the slot to PCIe 4.0 mode or PCIe 3.0 mode and see if that helps any.

PC Specs:

Ryzen 5 9800X3D

Asrock B650E PG Riptide WiFi

96GB 6400CL32

Thermaltale Toughpower GF1 850W (possibly the culprit) (not the 2025 edition, but the older one)

Edit

Neither PCIe gen 4 or 3 fixes this for me. I have also tried reseating the card multiple times. The crashing also happens on Arch Linux with nvidia-open as well as a fresh Windows 11 23H2 install with the latest hotfix driver. My main Windows 11 24H2 install is where I first noticed the crashing.

The games which I've tested and all have crashed are: Overwatch 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite.

I have also tried lowering the power limit to 69% and the clock speeds of both the memory and core to about -500 in MSI Afterburner. It wasn't crashing like this in Cyberpunk, so I moved the power limit up to 80% and it crashed very shortly after.

With 80% the power limit in place, my whole system never exceeds ~550w measured from the wall, so I am not sure whether or not to blame my 850W power supply. I am seeing posts on various forums of people having very similar experiences seemingly due to bad drivers, but then there are others who seem to be having almost no issues at all. Maybe the high transient spikes of the 5090 are enough to overload my PSU.

If I cannot fix it myself, I will wait a couple weeks for a better driver/vbios update before considering returning the card.

Here is a screenshot of Overwatch 2 crashing in Linux in a very similar manner to what was happening in Windows 11.

When this happens in both Linux and Windows, I can still hear system and game audio but the entire system becomes frozen and most of the time requires a hard reset.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is Steam Deck Verified

17 Mar 2025 - 2:07pm

This is awesome news because for the future we can install steamos and play our games there

Initially Ubisoft said it wouldn't be supported, then they said it would be and now Valve have said that Assassin's Creed Shadows is Steam Deck Verified. This new status was first noted in my article on the Steam Deck hitting 18,000 playable games but it's easy to miss if you skipped over it
