Linux Mint, RTX 4000, NVidia application profiles question / custom filters syntax?

19. November 2024 - 15:27

Good morning.

I tried searching for this on Google but couldn't find anything. I looked through Nvidia's forums and support site, but I couldn't find anything. I'm running Linux mint and configuring custom application filters. Right now, I'm using an RTC 4000 series. The settings app appears to be fairly normal, and I'm using the official NVidia driver for Linux.

I would like to know if there is a page that provides information on what filters I can set in the application profile filters. I wasn't familiar with any of the filter settings. I couldn't find any filters for gamma, color correction, image settings, or antialiasing. There is no guidance on what values can be set when you choose the custom filter. I would like more information about how to set custom application profiles.

Thanks & Regards

Farming Simulator 22/25 Joystick Issues

19. November 2024 - 15:25

Hello everyone,

I mainly game on my Steamdeck. Lately I bought a logitech 3D Pro joystick. Which is working perfectly fine on windows. I tried to get it running on Steamdeck but I'm facing the issue that now all axes are usable.

I tried several reddit posts, nothing worked. Using it under Windows works out of the box. When connecting it to the deck I checked connectivity and it's fine. I already tested all axis via Linux tools, worked also.

Now I tried Proton 6.3 under steam - >compatibility and there all axes are showing up and working. But the performance of the game is pretty bad.. Not playable.

Every Proton version above has the problem that the axes are not full usable.

Maybe anyone here can help with the issue? Would be greatly appreciated!

I'm running the steamdeck on the latest version, also the game. The game itself recognizes the stick with all axes.

I tried changing regedit via Protontools (not sure if it's the right way) for this game.

Thanks in advance.

How would you recommend installing Heroic Launcher on an arch distro? AUR or flatpak?

19. November 2024 - 13:58

I've been a long time user of Lutris, but lately I've just been having a lot of trouble with it. To that end, I want to try Heroic for my GOG games.

How would you recommend I install the launcher? Using the AUR binary or flatpak?

Thanks

Akimbot does not save settings

19. November 2024 - 12:56

It's driving me kinda nuts. The game works well, especially in DX11, but DOES NOT save settings. Every time I launch the game they go back to default.

In the fat chance someone bought this game. Do you have the same issue or it's personal and it just hates me?

why game devs do not support Linux and why Valve does

19. November 2024 - 12:35

The main reason why game publishers refuse to support Linux isn't the "low market share" drama. It's the lack of potential backroom licensing and exclusivity deals. You can't ask for money for Linux exclusives because Linux is open source. Nobody owns it so there is nobody you can ask for money. And that's where the big money is made. In B2B deals.

Game devs routinely approach Microsoft for extra funding in exchange for exclusivity deals and/or licensing adjustments. You can't do that with Linux.

Those deals are struck before the game is made while actual sales might be below expectations. These deals influence the game's dev cycle. Big money calls the shots often before there is a playable demo.

The whole "Linux has a low market share" drama is BS.

There are a lot of backroom licensing deals that companies like Valve don't talk about because of NDAs. And those can really chip away at their profits.

That's why Valve supports Linux. Because Steam is a digital game publishing platform and it's in their own best interests to not share profits with anyone else via backroom licensing and exclusivity deals.

By making Linux mainstream they ensure the game will work on steam without having to deal with third parties like Microsoft. It's a huge leverage when B2B licensing is involved.

Linux essentially ensures Valve doesn't have to worry about any of that in the long term because nobody owns Linux so nobody from the Linux side will come and ask them for money. And their investments in Linux are minimal from a financial point of view. There are ~79 people working on Steam. And only a fraction of them work on Linux support.

The Amazing Spider-Man 1 Struggling with Performance & Visual Issues on Linux (Wine/Proton/DXVK)

19. November 2024 - 09:51

I'm trying to get The Amazing Spider-Man 1 to run smoothly on Linux Mint using Lutris, but I've been struggling with all kinds of performance and visual issues. I've tried messing around with different versions of Wine, Proton, and DXVK, but nothing is quite right. Here’s a rundown of what I’ve tried so far:

Wine 9.21 Staging:

- With DXVK: Doesn't work at all.

- Without DXVK: No luck either.

Proton 9.0-3:

- With DXVK: The visuals are fine, but the performance takes a huge hit.

- Without DXVK: It runs, but the performance is rough and there are some visual glitches.

Proton 8.0-3:

- With DXVK: Performance is bad, visuals are fine, but some keyboard keys don’t respond.

- Without DXVK: Performance is better, but visual bugs show up and some keys still don’t work. Plus, it crashes after about 5 minutes.

Proton 7.0-3:

- With DXVK: It runs, but the performance is poor.

- Without DXVK: No go.

Proton 5.13-6:

- With DXVK: It works, but it’s still pretty laggy.

- Without DXVK: Doesn’t work at all.

Has anyone managed to get this game running decently on Linux? I'd love to hear any tips or tweaks to fix the performance and visuals. Thanks

Games get stuck only on Lutris

19. November 2024 - 09:29

Hi. I bought a HP Victus 16-R1061NT 9J263EA a few days ago, then installed EndeavourOS Linux to it. Everything is working fine except the games from Lutris.

First thing I did after the set up was installing Nvidia drivers(my computer has a RTX4060) and then, optimus-manager(Works fine right now.). Second thing was installing wine, wine-ge, ge-proton, Lutris and Steam. From it, then I installed its latest version of Proton.

I had a few games from a Windows installation. I copied them over to a folder in my Linux set up and created a prefix for them, then added them both to Lutris and Steam.

Now, when I launch them from Lutris, nothing initially happens. But when I do super+tab or play for a few minutes, games gets stuck.(Doesn't matter which fork of wine that I'm using, all of them produces the same issue) I can then stop them from Lutris. However, this doesn't happens in Steam. The games work perfectly fine, even after doing super+tab and returning back.

What can be the cause of this? And what can be a solution for it?

Also, I want to use a single prefix(or a main folder for all prefix foldersş due multiple reasons. I can't set that up in Proton too. How to do this? Weirdly, in Steam the games which was first run at Lutris uses the Lutris prefix while the others are using their own prefixes.

Best way to run older Windows games on a modern distro of Linux if they're not on Steam or GoG?

19. November 2024 - 08:07

I have Mint 22 on my Asus Zephyrus G14, which has an Nvidia 3060 card.

I'd like to run games that aren't on Steam or GoG, nor are they listed on the Lutris site.

I generally have these games backed up as ISO files.

WINE is installed.

Graphical glitch / artifacting when running certain applications on Arch Linux with KDE

19. November 2024 - 06:15

Hi! I recently decided to try out Lutris so that I could play some Battlenet games and encountered this graphical glitch when trying to open WoW Classic for example.

WoW Classic artifacting / glitching when opened via Battle.net on Lutris

I should have most of the correct Nvidia drivers, and I did follow the lutris install documentation from their GitHub. I thought this might be a Wine thing, but it even happens on other certain applications natively in Arch; another example being when I open submenus on Steam the submenu will have that same artifacting effect on it.

Steam submenus such as right clicking attributes give the same glitching effect

I'd love suggestions, because I'm not sure if I'm just missing a driver or if it's something else. Here is a quick neofetch for troubleshooting:

Neofetch

I will update this thread and mark as solved if I find out how to get it fixed, so that it can be of help to others later!

Game updates only while running

19. November 2024 - 04:14

A little background: I play The Finals using my mobile hotspot (10gb/mo). Internet in my apartment building is very poor, to the point of taking 15 minutes for a 34mb update. I move my entire PC setup to update games and my system when necessary.

So, I've updated The Finals, and hop on my hotspot to play a few rounds. There is no 'update' button, just 'play' (Steam). I launch the game, and proceed to be absolutely useless due to lag. I look over at my other monitor, and see the game is downloading updates while I'm playing. I've already burned up 3/4 of my monthly hotspot in one night due to this. So, I close the game and think "I'll just let it update I guess". Update stops, and the 'play' button is shown. I reopen the game, and it launches, and proceeds to download updates. I have no idea why it's doing it this way, and I don't really feel like going get destroyed by a boss in Lies of P until I get access to internet again, as my hotspot got sucked up instantaneously
