I want to select a game that is on my second disk, but Proton 9 and others don't recognize that there is anything stored, it appears as "z". I approved putting it in "start in" but no file is found. I'm using translator, in my language it seems there are no related videos. I'm going to highlight I am in a program (external to Steam) opened with Proton 9 in Steam, I have an extra disk that I store games on, when I open the program it asks me to select a file, but Proton does not recognize that there is something there, but it does recognize that there is a disk. (Let me know if I shouldn't write this in this community)

Recently decided to try Linux on a personal computer (had previous experience). Installed Arch Linux, got most of the games working (CS2, War Thunder, Gothic 1,2 and 3, Terraria etc.) but Genshin does not want to collaborate with me. I'm battling for 4th day now, using everything I can (previous posts, GPT, popular fixes) but nothing works for me. Literally everything is up to date as shown in the screenshots.

I think I tried everything:
- Lutris:
- running HoYo launcher with runners: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, GE-Proton latest/9-27/10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10
- running Genshin.exe with runners: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, GE-Proton latest/9-27/10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10
- Steam:
- running HoYo launcher with runners: GE-Proton 10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10, Proton 9.0.4/8.0.5/Experimental
- running Genshin.exe with runners: GE-Proton 10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10, Proton 9.0.4/8.0.5/Experimental
- Wine directly
- running HoYo launcher
- running Genshin.exe
- Bottles
- running HoYo Launcher or Genshin.exe with soda or ge-proton

So far nothing worked. The most I could get was by running HoYo Launcher with Lutris using UMU-Proton and I think GE-Proton 9-27 and offline launch, works for about 2 minutes then I get "Server connection lost" and have to relogin just to get another "Server connection lost". Other combinations result either in:
- HoYo Launcher not opening (or black screen)
- HoYo Launcher not starting Genshin up (or just a flash - quickly opening and closing)
- Genshin loading up into login screen, then getting constant "Check network connection" errors

I'm still kinda new into Linux so I might have messed something up, but other games work fine and it seems I'm not the only one to have those problems.

I tried Piper/libratbag but it doesn't support the mouse I use (Glorious model I 2), it shows an undetected screen when I launch it.
The onboard profile on my Model I 2 hasn't worked for me, or maybe it doesn't have onboard profiles, not sure.
I already tried a Sway, and Input Remapper, neither do what I actually want, that being binding scroll up/down to a button and remapping more than 2 side buttons.
Ive also tried running Glorious core through wine, but that just left Core broken and non-functional.
Are there alternative mice software that allow the actuation of debounce and liftoff? Ideally with button remapping.

I'll go back to linux (when I stop using Windows without dualbooting)... Anyway what I want to know is it really that simple to use non steam games if exe files? Can I play my non steam games that I've added using steams "add non steam games" function or will there be errors somewhere from the games files? Ik there's proton and everything but it's due to wanting to use steam link to play on the TV too far from my pc which is why I'm asking, and I didn't know of steam link until recently but am loving it on windows (11.exe stopped working.stuffed) [Just curious and maybe for the other curious folk that may not know]

So 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller has native linux support if you connect it through bluetooth. The dongle however has much better latency than bluetooth, with an 1000 hz polling rate and about 1ms latency. Both work fine on my Endeavour OS install, but of course I want all the features of the controller with the lowest latency. Usually bluetooth is fine, but I was curious if there was anyway to use the Ultimate 2 software even though in the past the Ultimate software didn't work.

Well I don't know what changed, but when I clicked the software with my default system wine install...it worked perfectly. I was able to reconfigure the controller, save the profile, and use it just like on Windows. Others might want to test to see if it works for them too, but it looks now you can use the xinput mode for "speed" and still get to customize the controller, and the bluetooth for gyro (because the controller only supports gyro in bluetooth mode regardless of OS) Really awesome, makes it viable for fighting games but also still generally useful for anything

ProtonUp-Qt: v2.14.0 released https://playingtux.com/articles/protonup-qt-v2140-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Firstly the machine specs:

• AMD Ryzen 5950x CPU
• 32GB RAM, think it's Corsaire Vengeance, nothing special, 4 sticks of 8gb Dual Channel
• Asus RTX 3060 12GB OC,
  • tried many driver versions, 550+ both open, and proprietary
  • currently on 580 open
• Mint 22.2, Cinnamon 6.4.8, Linux Kernel 6.8.0-83, although this has been happening since I started using Linux, at least since Mint 22.1, so versions not really important.
• Vsync/Sync To Blank off in OS and games, glxgears runs at around 25k fps
• Disabled Compositing for full screen apps
• Played about with and without shader precaching
• Happens with both native and proton games

Yes I went all in on the CPU, I got it cheap and wanted to push my AM4 board for a bit longer.

The problem:

I have always had this problem, and it is so minor I could not be bothered to look too deep into it, but have some spare time so decided to have a look into it.

I have been using Linux for gaming on and off for about a year, maybe longer. Kept dipping into it, then if I got stuck, going back to Windows for a bit. However, I am clearing my backlog and decided to also see how many games I can actually play on Linux. It's going rather well. 12 games down about 4 unable to play.

When I first start any game, the frame rate is choppy at best, almost unplayable. When displaying FPS in the steam overlay, it shows my max FPS is in the thousands, and my 1% lows are in the toilet, around 10-15FPS.

Average is game dependent, but if the game is FPS limited, it will sit at the FPS limit rate.

If I stop the game and immediately restart it, the Max, Min and Average FPS is stable and will remain so for the remainder of the session.

For example, Dead Space 2 is locked at 60FPS, first start up Max is around 3km Min is around 15 and Average is 60, so that Min is doing a lot of the work dragging it down to 60. Stop and start the game, Max is 60-63, Min is 57-60, average is 60 from then on. Same happens on Dead Space 1, Dead Island and the Dark Souls games. Yes I'm on D right now :D .

Games without fixed FPS is a bit trickier to nail down. Cyberpunk initial start up it runs around max 700, min 10 average about 70, once again that Min is doing a lot of work, then after a restart its max 130 min 56, average 75-85.

It is almost as if that first startup is training the system, but I would have thought it should be able to do that on the fly and rectify itself without restarting the game.

It does also behave this way if I have Vsync/Sync to Blank enabled too, and full screen Compositing does not seem to affect it either.

I am not overly concerned about it, but if anyone has any ideas what could be causing, or just curious enough to want to investigate with me, it would be terribly helpful. Tech savvy and up for experimentation, although I would rather prefer to stay away from compiling kernels if I can.

Have a few vids as evidence I can stick on YouTube if it would help visualise it better.

Update :

does not seem to happen to Silent Hill 2 with the Enhanced Edition mod (not the remake). That runs at around very stable 60 out of the gate.

my laptap is a thinkpad 14e without a discrete graphics card,when i run my win11,it will be very slow,even cant play the minecraft,so i install the ubuntu on my laptop.What surprised me was the speed of MC running on Linux, because on Win11 my MC only had 8 frames, while on Linux it ran to 100 frames.I saw that the performance of playing MC could be improved so much, so why don’t I download a steam to play the games in my library, so I downloaded a steam, but problems also appeared.

the first problem is,i do not have enough storage space，because when i install the linux,i only allocated 70g to it,now the system has only 10g of free space, so I need to expand the Linux.So I return to win11 and use the disk control to make 200g unallocated space.Then I use the bootable usb drive to enter the ubuntu live environment.Which tool I use is the gparted,this can put the ext4 on the 200g unallocated space,making the linux can recognize the 200g space. Then the problem become to how can I use the 200g?

My solution is to mount the 200g space to my home directory,it's safe and eazy.I use the blkls and memory the uuid of my new "disk",to make it automatically i use the instruction sudo nvim /etc/fstab

then put my uuid on the bottom of it,the instruction like :

UUID=f0e1d2c3-b4a5-6789-0abc-def123456789 /data ext4 defaults 0 2

ok,we have enlarged the space,then the most awosome comes,we need to add this new hard drive to the steam library folder,this is also the step that gives me the most headaches. I have been looking for strategies on the Internet for a long time,because when I try to add it directly in steam, it always prompts me that there is a disk write error

After looking for strategies,I finally find the problem the makes disk write error,the steam I installed in my home directory could not directly recognize the new space I mounted, so I created a soft link in my home directory pointing to my new space.

Finally, I succeeded! I successfully made steam recognize my new mount space！Now I can play freely the factorio,stardew valley,terraria and the dont starve together,yoho!

Any way to change this behavior? It’s just I have to move it to the center or away to get the menu bar of the game to disappear every time I launch it. I already tried grab cursor command but nothing.
