Wallpaper Engine Editor

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 hours 57 min ago

Recently switched to Linux Mint and I’m enjoying it so far. Only thing I’m kinda bummed about it is not being able to use Wallpaper Engine.

I searched around and saw there are quite a few alternatives and workarounds for Wallpaper Engine, but most that I’ve seen are just for the wallpapers and not the editor, which is what I’m wanting to use to make my own animated wallpapers.

Would anyone know if it’s possible to use the editor on Linux through something like a VM, or if there’s an alternative software I could use to make animated wallpapers? Otherwise would my next best option just be to dual boot Windows?

Vesktop and Vencord Screensharing Issues + Weird Cursor Colors

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 5 hours 53 min ago

Hello. I have used both Equibop and Equicord, and both have issues when screensharing.

Equibop: Screensharing changes the color of my Kagamine Len cursor (Yellow) to blue and my Hatsune Miku cursor (Blue) to yellow unless I do the KDE mouse shake the enlarge it. very weird... Screensharing with "Entire Desktop" enabled allows my friends to hear themselves, even if I disable "Speech-Dispatcher-Dummy's" audio. Doesn't relate to screensharing, but how do I enable global hotkeys? I know that you can do KDE Shortcuts with Equibop --toggle-mic or deafen, і think, but what about for toggling a screenshare? is there anyway to toggle a screenshare on a Specific Monitor woth specific audio properties?

Equicord: Screensharing a specific application window still shares the audio of my desktop.

I've tried looking into these problems myself but the solution has either been "Use Equibop instead of Equicord" or "Disable Speech-Dispatcher-Dummy". sooo... :P I haven't even been able to find anything on the cursor color changing issue. I heard that it may be fixed in the KDE Plasma 6.5.6+ updates. Im on 6 5.5 right now so і guess we'll find out later.

any solutions?

P.S sorry і labeled it vencord / vesktop; I just figured it would get more attention cause its more popular than equicord / equibop.

Heya,

After OpenRa, we would like (me and my friends) to play Red Alert 2 online.

Anyone knows of a multi-platform (linux, mac and windows) support?

Thanks!

HUD Fix negating Opti-FG in OptiScaler

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 7 hours 48 min ago

This didn't happen before, but now when I activate Opti-FG frame generation alongside HUD Fix in OptiScaler, the frame gen stops working. Mangohud somehow displays the frame gen FPS numbers instead of the actual FPS I'm getting. I have to disable HUD Fix to make the fg work.

fastfetch shows wrong fontg for terminal.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 hours 9 min ago

Hi all,

I switched my alacritty font on this new install to Jetbrains Nerd Font.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why fastfetch isn't reporting it correctly. According to Alacrity logs, it is loading and using it and not falling back.

Hogwards Legacy - issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 hours 51 min ago

Hi,

i currently at the main mission to break into the library. You learn a new spell and need to select in from the spell menu. After selecting and exiting the menu, the game gives me an pop up tutorial message for a previous learned spell (go in the menu and select the spell, asign it to... blablabla). I cant interact with the pop up and the game softlocks. The charakter does not register any movement inputs, i cant open any menus, nothing.

OS: Opensuse Tumbleweed

GPU: RX 7800 XT

Protonversion: GE-Proton10-29

How to make a game drive on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10 hours 36 min ago

(CachyOS/Arch) I have a 2TB SATA drive I want to convert from NTFS to ext4, and I have already formatted the drive with gparted.

However, I can't add then add a folder to that drive to then add in Steam as an installation location.

I am able to elevate to administrator via 'Open as Administrator' in Dolphin to then make a folder in the root directory for my Steam games, but then I get the 'Steam library folder is not writable' in the dialogue to add a directory in Steam.

Any idea where to go from here?

TIL: Steam makes ALL files executable

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 hours 14 min ago

Do you like having executable logs? Now you have them! Do you also want executable audio files? Say no more! Will they actually run? No. But Steam will make them executable anyway.

Basically (almost) every file Steam brings into the system will have the executable bit set.

Wouldn't be a big deal, if context menus didn't prompt me to execute those files when I want to open them. And the context menus are not wrong, Steam is.

Bit of a niche question, anyone have anything thoughts on how I could run this game mod for Red Dead Redemption?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11 hours 23 min ago

https://github.com/RoseTheFlower/UltrawideIndex/releases/tag/reddeadredemption

It's to fix ultrawide cutscenes.

The problem is that it's an .exe file you run alongside the game.

I have the steam install of Red Dead Redemption.

I've put the files in the same location as the game (not that it matters on windows)

Then tried running the .exe file using protontricks in the same prefix as the game but I just get an error.

Not really sure if it's even possible but thought I'd reach out here to see if anyone has any ideas.
