Hello everyone! :)

I did some more testing with the Nouveau patch for VRAM Sharing in NVK and from what I saw DXVK lags more when VRAM is full but doesn't crash. VKD3D seems to handle it much better but when new shaders (?) need to be compiled it frezees completely (might be some NVK issue though too, I don't know).

Here are some videos with NVK_HUD enabled which also shows VRAM usage:

Hi, ok gamescope seems pretty cool in a nerdy way, however, the feature i first got it for i can't get to work right!

everywhere says -r sets refresh limit (and that vsync may need to be on). ive tried the old (deprecated?) max framerate command also, not working.

however this is completely ignored in every app I've tried (including vkcube), it just runs as fast as it can.

but but but! gamescopectl debug_set_fps_limit works! so it can work. it just won'tf from the command line? which makes it pretty impractical.

any ideas please? :)

System: AMD Ryzen 2400g, AMD WX5100 (also tried with RX550), 32GB RAM, Linux 6.18.18 KDE NEON. Main monitor is freesync. gamescope version 3.16.19-1~24.04.3 (gcc 13.3.0).

I'm wondering if this may have to do with using two gfx cards (kinda, i have the igpu enabled and gamescope runs on it, perfectly, weirdly - i get garbage if i try to force gamescope to the dgpu, which is running the games - that's a separate question?) and two monitors? hmm!

update: playing with vkcube, just noticed something interesting. -r does do something, just not what you expect. for example, vkcube drops from 360 to about 160fps with -r 60. adaptivesync also makes a difference. this is weird. i'm using mangoapp btw. and -r 30 shows around 50fps. odd!

So I got DLC for Return to Moria and now main screen of the game looks like offline tv station screen although before the DLC it was just fine and I had same issue with Moomin game demo where this screen appeared during cut-scenes. Is there anyway how to fix this? I have the games on Steam.

When i learned about the latest snapshot already having Vulkan support and decided to test it. But strangely enough, my FPS actually lowered. With OpenGL, same settings and same world, i am getting about 500 FPS.
Surely it's not my PC, i tried VulkanMod on 1.21.11 and got about 1500 FPS (not constant, but always above 1k frames)

So i am curious, what about your experience?

My setup:
CachyOS
Ryzen 7 5700X
AMD Radeon RX 7600
32 GB DDR4

I'm using a laptop running arch on legacy Nvidia drivers

I recently installed some emulators like rpcs3, pcsx2 and dolphin and none of them detect my dedicated gpu instead only my integrated one.

I feel like I can squeeze some performance out of my 940mx but I can't for the life of me use this Intel hd 630

I'm pretty sure it's not a driver issue since steam detects it just fine

have I missed a step or did something wrong?

This is my recent experience with AMD Rewards being a Linux user.

I hope others are not hitting this issue but thought it would be good to put down my experience as a warning

I bought a new AMD graphics card on the 9th March from a verified retailer.

I received a game code at the same time for Crimson Desert (code valid until 19th May)

I logged in to AMD Rewards, I already had an account, and registered the code.

I downloaded the script, which I knew would likely not work correctly as I have previously gone through this process for a previous graphics card, and sure enough even after making it executable it could not work out what graphics card I had.

As mentioned I have had this problem before, and resolved that by opening a support ticket.

So I did this again, opened a support ticket, explained I am on Linux and have ran the script which did not work.

First interaction was to make sure my code was valid.

Next I was asked for a copy of my invoice, nothing odd here I was asked last time, which I then provided.

These interactions took place over three days up until 12th March.

All pretty quick and much the same as my previous communications for the previous game I got.

Then radio silence.

I hear nothing for a week, I send a request for an update

Then 2 weeks. So I send a request for an update

Here we are on the 10th April, no communication, no update, after multiple requests for an update.

I do not believe I am getting the code for my game and if I go truly tin foil hat moment I suspect people at the AMD Rewards support side are probably taking them.

There does not appear to be an escalation process and no other support contacts other than the main contact address so I think at this stage I am out of luck but thought it would be good to bring it to others attention in case they are factoring in the price of the game to the cost of the graphics card as a sweetener to justify the cost, I know I was, that you might not get the game.

If anyone knows how I can escalate this it would be appreciated.
