Grainy textures with Ray Tracing

26. März 2024 - 11:31

Hello, I´'ve just updated my graphics card to a 6800XT and I was playing around trying ray tracing, but I noticed often it gives me grainy textures. On Ratchet & Clank and Doom Eternal from Steam I have no grains, while running geexlab benchmark and minecraft rtx shaders I have these grains. What can it be?

I´'m currently on Feodra 39 running mesa 23.3 and kde plasma 5.27.11 wayland session (same problem with X11 though)

I don´'t know if the flair is right

Big news guys!! Windows 7 Spider Solitaire actually kinda works. We just need to fine-tune it 😯

26. März 2024 - 11:14

I've been searching how to make Spider Solitaire from Win7 work on Linux for a good part of a decade probably. I've honed my programming skills so I can actually make it one day because 100% of all Linux card games look like absolute sh_t compared to the Windoes games. This is not up to debate and literally any Linux card game you have the urge to recommend, is worse. You are wrong and looking through rose-tinted glasses. I don't want a win95 card game, I want a win7 one.😤

As with most of people who care about this game, the goal is to convert my parents to Linux, and this is the only thing keeping them.

So it has to work adequately well.

I thought I had an .msi file, and the problem was that wine hates those files and doesn't care about them running on linux, but apparently there is some msiexec command for wine that installs those files.

HOWEVER, when I downloaded some installer from here: https://winaero.com/get-windows-7-games-for-windows-10/

I noticed that the installer is .exe

In linux, however, you can just click on the .exe file and see the files that are inside since it is itself a kind of archive.

There, you can find all the games, and if you go to the game folder and run the game .exe, the game will actually fricking run.

Like omg. This is a big deal.

However, there are some problems:

  • can't see letters on menus like when you select the difficulty or want to quit
  • the score in the bottom right displays some weird temporary object names or something
  • there is no menu on top for New Game.. etc

I think that these problems may be stemming from the game I ran not being actually "installed" in wine, but ran rawdog from a random file.

Wine has always been a mystery to me, but I know that you can open it and get some kind of rudimetnary windows environment, so if we can run the exe and "install" the game suite, or literally copy-paste the files into the correct place, maybe the game will start working because it would maybe gain access to the windows graphics systems and the save-locations and the timers and whatnot.

We can do this guys! As it is now, some of our parents would already be satisfied, despite not being fully functional. My cares about scores, so that's I thing I would like to make work. Also he likes to cheat and undo moves, and start new games from the ones he doesn't like.

Fossilize on steam and/or other platforms

26. März 2024 - 09:29

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Fossilize

Has anyone been finding success using Fossilize? I have been trying to direct the path of FOSSILIZE_DUMP_PATH but it seems that the .foz file will get created under the default steam shader cache directory regardless of what I do.

Nice tip for bad contact with rechargeable batteries on the Xbox 360 wireless controller

26. März 2024 - 06:50

Hello!
So... I want to share an easy trick I just did to stop my x360 controllers from turning off with my rechargeable batteries since they are a little lower and that gap inside the cover doesn't allow the controller to turn on or just keeps turning off alone if you touch the battery cover.

Here is what I did:
I used a washer with copper tape (you can use aluminium tape too) stucked to it. On the part that is down, I placed a piece of the copper tape folded so that I had both adhesive sides and the washer could be glued to the contact terminal of the cover.
After this you can shake it like a polaroid picture.

That's it.
Now the picture:

Games won't launch with Proton

26. März 2024 - 06:12

Proton stopped working a few hours ago for seemingly no reason on Manjaro. I've tried everything from restarting my computer, reinstalling proton versions, and switching proton versions. Every single time I try to launch, it would randomly stop for some reason.

The error line I got from examining the action using my computer konsole is: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Sims 4 Modding with Bottles on Linuxmint

26. März 2024 - 05:01

I've been trying all afternoon and evening, first waiting for the game to download (on the EA app/launcher/ Origin) and then the DLC I have. And now I'm trying to figure out where the Mods folder is.

I navigate to home/username/.var/app/com.use bottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/bottlename/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/The Sims 4

And there wasn't a Mods folder before or after I started the game. I did make a folder myself with my chosen mod inside. I look in Game/Bin/res and there's a resource.cfg file. Should I copy that and paste it into the Mods folder? Should I leave the Mods folder in The Sims 4 folder or move it to Bin?

I'm not at all computer savvy, though my sibling has helped me and shown me some things. So I apologize in advance for my airheadedness. I'm probably just not looking in the right place. I had this same issue with the Sims 2 several months ago but eventually figured it out with the help of some other redditors.

Thank you.

XIV Launcher fullscreen not working

26. März 2024 - 04:58

So I just installed the XIV Launcher for FFXIV and I tried enabling fullscreen in the launcher but the screen just blacks out. It seems like it just cuts the display signal and I have to do a hard reset every time. I'm working with a 5120 x 1440 monitor and I'm on Linux Mint. Anyone else have this issue? If so, did you figure out a fix?

Silica (Steam Game)

26. März 2024 - 04:14

Not sure what is going on. It says it works on Protondb and game appears to be supported on Steam Deck, with some minor issues. Each time I run it on my PC it just hangs and freezes. Haven't been able to load into a game other than main menu.

  • Dist: Mint Linux
  • CPU: R9 7950X3D
  • GPU: RTX 4080 (non-Super)
  • RAM: 64GB DDR5

I have Wine and Steam installed. Drivers are latest release. By default, Steam is using Proton Experimental for compat.

Anyone got Star Trek Bridge Commander working on Linux?

26. März 2024 - 01:59

Bit of an old game but there's a mod for it that makes it look more modern. So I figured I'd give it a try. But of course it's not on Steam so I got it on GoG. Now I believe I'll have to use Lutris.

Thought I'd stop by and ask if anyone has managed to get the game installed and playable. Thank you

Can't get MangoHud (flatpak) to work with Steam (flatpak)

26. März 2024 - 01:31

I've installed MangoHud and Steam via flatpaks: bash $ flatpak list | grep -E '(MangoHud|Valve)' Valve Corporation com.valvesoftware.Steam 1.0.0.79 stable flathub system MangoHud org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud 0.7.1 23.08 flathub system

And I can run games with MANGOHUD=1 %command%, mangohud %command% and not get any errors / run the game, but I can't get MangoHud to work/show.

I've tried to allow the steam sandbox access to: xdg-config/MangoHud:ro but it still won't work. I've also copied the config into .var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf (just in case) but it still won't work.

The funny thing is that Heroic games work and when I press RightSift+F12, I can disable/enable the overlay on goverlay but no in Steam games. I've tried with a DXVK app (ESO) and Vulkan (Doom Eternal).

I also run Fedora Kinoite and would like to keep everything in flatpaks if possible.

Mangohud not working on Linux Mint 21

25. März 2024 - 23:25

Hello. I switched to Linux recently and discovered the existence of Mangohud which you probably already know about. I tried to install it and use it in game but every time I launch a game with it, the game closes instantly. Whether on Steam or Heroic. Has anyone ever had a similar problem?

Hello I'm New to Linux! Need Some Advice!

25. März 2024 - 23:00

Hello! I am so excited to be trying out Linux in the future. I will be running a 7800x3D and a 7900GRE. I want a distro that is stable for games and I want to know if there is a distro that supports visual studio code because I do code for work and it is what I am most used to. I apologize if this gets asked 100s of times!

CS2 suddenly not working anymore for no reason?

25. März 2024 - 22:59

So, I'm a Linux newbie. Been using Fedora 39 on my dad's laptop and I've installed Steam to play CS2 last week. Game worked fine and ran with no need to configure anything, straight out of the Steam launcher. But for some reason 3 days ago, the game stopped working in any way whatsoever. When I click play, the game says it's running, but doesn't launch, then nothing happens and it's back to not running again after a few seconds. I've tried looking up countless solutions online to no avail, so here I am.

Hardware specs:

CPU Intel 8565U

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Mesa)

16gb RAM
