Can't believe this is a fresh Linux installation

10 Jun 2025 - 3:58pm

Seriously, in my whole 20 years using Linux I wouldn't have ever even dreamt of having this kind of compatibility right out of the box with a freshly installed distro.

Using Pop OS and a Lenovo Yoga X1

Ecliptica Game Development log 7

10 Jun 2025 - 3:45pm

Hello everyone!

The time has come to share one of our most important achievements to date. Although this is a purely technical advancement, which will likely be of most interest to other Qt developers, it will also affect all players.

From the Old System to the New: Why We Changed?

Previously, like most developers, we used a tile-based LOD system for generating the game world. Essentially, we created chunks based on heightmaps using Qt HeightFieldGeometry. This solution worked initially, but over time, our ambitions for draw distance grew. When we added rocky and sandy terrains to the game, we encountered many problems:

  • Grid around tiles: Unsightly lines separating parts of the world.
  • Increased CPU load: The number of tiles reached up to 1600, heavily stressing the system.
  • Difficulties with smoothing transitions: When players changed altitudes (e.g., during resource extraction), transitions looked unpolished.

These problems were very difficult to solve.

Inspiration from UE5 and Our Solution

In the process of finding solutions, we came across the terrain implementation in UE5, specifically their Nanite system. This impressed us greatly, and we decided to create an analogous system in Qt.

The Result: A More Detailed and Lighter World

Unlike UE5, our system currently works only for primitives (e.g., ocean or ground), but it has completely solved all our problems! Now we can create much more detailed terrain that is significantly less demanding on gaming hardware.

We are very excited about these changes and believe they will make the game world even better and more performant for each of you!

I can't install mods in Oblivion (2009) on Fedora 42

10 Jun 2025 - 3:34pm

I have already followed all the existing guides and tried to generate log files but I just can't solve this problem. I am on fedora 42 using steam flatpak with proton 9 or proton GE-10, mo2, lutris, wine, and etc.

I really need help to solve this problem or at least generate log files.

EA APP games in steam sync issues.

10 Jun 2025 - 2:48pm

So, something really weird has started happening. I'm trying to play Jedi Falle Order everything goes well during the install but when you try to start the game the ea app will launch and tell me "The latest sync was interrupted" and to try again in 5 minutes. Well if you leave it running nothing will happen. It won't sync my saves. You can continue the launch by clicking launch anyway. But obviously I got no saves lol. I should note that the ea app is ONLINE I can see friends list and everything. Tried changing proton versions, restarting router, unplugging anything else using the Internet, removing prefix and starting again, verify files, updating the OS Arch. I'm out of ideas. My Steam Deck hasn't got this issue and the game runs fine. This also happens on other EA app games like mass effect legendary edition. I've never had this issue before and I've been gaming on linux since the beginning. Is just weird that this is only on my main pc and not the steam deck so it can't be a network issue.... Anyone got any ideas???

A reliable mainboard and graphic cards brand? Problems with RTX 3060 and B550M mb.

10 Jun 2025 - 9:38am

Hello. Currently I have a Gigabyte B550M mainboard, 2x Kingston 16GB 2400MHz DDR4, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X cpu (AM4) and RTX 3060 nvidia card.

The motherboard at first seemed to be a good option, but the build quality is questionable. Onboard USB 3.2 socket broke with barely any force when inserting front USB extension cable. PCIe placement is also awful, graphics card obstructs other two sockets (the second long socket is only x4, not x16) and I had to use pcie extension cables for another ethernet card and a sound card.

Recently my computer began to occasionally crash just a few minutes after a cold startup with no information in logs (no further crashing after reboot). At first I suspected my samsung nvme drive, replaced it with spare wd drive but the problems returned a month later. Sometimes the motherboard would beep with a graphics card problem code when trying to reboot. Drivers upgrade and Kernel upgrade did absolutely nothing. Memtest passes with no errors.

I am confident that the problem lies within graphics card or motherboard. It is not the first time I have problems with nvidia graphics card. Previously I bought RTX 4060 with faulty vram out of the box, got replaced it with RTX 3060 (+ refund) and it worked fine until recently. I can't test current nvidia card for vram problems, because the only tools (mods/mats) I could find won't compile on current kernel and generally nvidia doesn't release these tools to the public.

I want to switch to AMD Radeon graphics (preferably without any RGB LED fireworks) and replace my current motherboard with something that doesn't look like a spaceship and is more reliable. Requirements: AM4, NVME socket, larger ATX format.

Trying to login to Microsoft account via ATLauncher, but keeps getting errors

10 Jun 2025 - 8:15am

Still getting used to Linux Arch! The ATLauncher for Minecraft installs natively on Arch and the program itself works perfectly fine. It's only once I try to login to my Microsoft account that I get this weird error. Seems like it could be a lot of things, so I wanted to see if there's a blocker related to Linux Arch.

System Specs:

  • OS: CachyOS Linux (KDE Plasma 6.3.5)
  • Kernel: 6.146.6-2-cachyos (64-bit)
  • CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz
  • RAM: 46.9
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700

Here's the log....

Does discord support hardware encoding?

10 Jun 2025 - 6:34am

I've seen many posts claiming that discord screenshare is finally fixed but, even though I can share my screen with audio, the quality is horrible (sub 5 fps prob under 580p too). I've monitored my gpu usage during the screenshare using amdgpu_top and the gpu usage doesn't flicker at all when I start it or during use, meaning my CPU is tanking the encoding job, which can only make sense.

I'm running KDE - Wayland on Arch and my hardware is a 7900 xtx + 7800x3d

I've already tried using discord, discord canary, aur-vesktop, flatpak-vesktop, goofcord, web-mozilla and web-chromium. All of them end up with the same result.

Something odd that I've noticed is that I can't enable video hardware acceleration on the vesktop settings at all, I tried a bunch of flags on the flatpak version and none of them allowed me to toggle on this option (the button is disabled on the interface)

Other thing that I noted on chrome is that when I access chrome://gpu/ I've got the following line: `* Video Encode: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled` which led me to try the flags

--enable-features=AcceleratedVideoEncoder, AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks

Which in turn turned that line into: `* Video Decode: Hardware accelerated` but when using the web version of discord with this flag it looks like the stream just hangs on loading forever and none can watch the transmission.

I'm not sure if I missed a memo or something, but I can't get screenshare to work with a decent quality at all and looking at recent posts it seems that this issue should be been solved by now
