Songs of Syx is approaching the end-game now with a new Beta release out for version 66, which as usual has tons of changes for this massive city-building strategy game.

Facepunch issued an announcement for Garry's Mod players, to explain that a whole lot of user content is being taken down due to Nintendo.

System: Linux Mint, i9 13900k, 7900xtx, 64gb DDR5 Fresh install boot game, join world. Presented with a slide show, max fps I can achieve is 13. Iv tried installing through Lutris an manually chose my GPU to run the game. Same results. Disabled vsync in the ini files. No change

Interesting quirk the game instantly crashes if I try starting it in fullscreen

I recently upgraded my old GTX970 & i7-4790k setup to AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with Gigabyte 4080 SUPER.

I originally planned to install Win10. But after a painful, intrusive installation that forced me to sign in at installation, always-online for login (you seriously cant use PIN, if you do not have internet), plenty of intrusive "use microsoft apps", and too much advertisements in start menu and notification menu, I decided that its time to leave Windows for good.

I went with Ubuntu for now, because that's what I am comfortable with, and so far everything is working good.

There's one thing I am not happy with: The Motherboard. I use a Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX. Unfortunately, sensors are not supported and I was not able to get lm-sensors to read the I/O (?) chip that is supposed to deliver sensor data. My first attempt in following the guides to get support for the Gigybyte ended in a bricked system that would not recognise the graphics card anymore (do not ask me how I managed to do that).

Since I still have a week left to RMA, I am looking for a well supported board under Linux. I have my eyes on the ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus:

• https://linux-hardware.org/?id=board:asustek-tuf-gaming-x670e-plus-rev-1-xx
• https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.3-HWMON

Anyone has experience with this board under Linux? Does it work OOTB? Thank you for all advice!

So I've been having an issue where my system just locks up for 4 seconds, game reloads the textures and this loops until I move out of the area. VRAM filling up? but why would that cause entire system to lock up? RAM usage doesn't spike when this happens. I'm using steam to run wow

5600X
32gb ram
Intel Arc A750 (8gb)

My hardware.

5800x 32gb 5700 XT

3x 170hz 1440P HDR 1000 displays.

Now main question

1: any news regarding any real HDR support in Linux?

2: what distribution would best out of the box give me what I need? (Gaming / programming )

I am not a total noob but I also don’t want to be stuck In hell search

I am trying to use a DS4 controller on my Fedora40. I am using Lutris since the game is not installed using steam. I even tried adding it as a non steam game but it doesn’t load. In Lutris the game works but only using mouse and Keyboard, I tried googling but I cannot find a solution to make the controller work. Any help?

Hello. I am currently using Windows 8.1 since it is much more friendly to weak PCs unlike letter versions. But because Steam stopped supporting the win 8, I am now thinking about moving to other OS. The games I play are really old or require little recourses, like Morrowind, Fallout 2, Minecraft, Terraria, Ultrakill and roblox. They run good but unexpectedly and for no clear reason the Explorer.exe process begun causing regular freezes during gaming, which is really annoying. I tried to fix it but no use. I seek for stability and performance, so I am aiming at Debian. I believe kernel version doesn't affect performance on old machines, but correct me if I am wrong. So, how much performance would I lose if I played games with Linux on a low-end PC, especially though proton?

My specs are:

AMD Athlon(tm) II XL V66C Processor

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730

4 GIGs of DDR3 RAM

500G SSD

I ask this as an Nvidia user with a 40 series card

I've heard things about explicit sync and was wondering if I should just wait for all of that to be ironed out? If so anyone know a rough time when this will happen?

I'm happy to use beta drivers if that allows me to come over sooner as I'm thinking of running Arch (I've used Linux for a while on other non gaming PCs so I have a fairly good grasp on what I'm doing)

Hello there, fellow linux gamers community!

I have some silly newbie questions regarding umu project and overall wine/proton, since I don't quite understand some details, hope you can help me clear these out...

First, how can I use this project to replicate the wine-ge behavior? If I'm not mistaken, the wine-ge project is a mix of wine-staging and proton with some additional patches (or just proton-ge?)? So, the alternative in umu terms would be using wine-staging + proton-ge as WINEPREFIX and PROTONPATH respectively?

Second, what is the point of umu-proton? Will it become a replacement for proton-ge in some point of time?

Also, I'm not sure I can use system-side installation of proton-ge? Again, I may be stupid because not knowing how it works under the hood, but the umu maintainer proposes that it'd be better to let umu handle proton downloading process by itself. What if I want to compile a proton-ge myself, using modified PKGBUILD, with, idk, -march=x86-64-v3 and -O3 optimizations? I'm pretty sure umu will let you download only generic x86-64 build, and while there's no benchmark comparison between different wine or proton builds there is a possibility that would perform better, right?

And finally, is wine-tkg the best (or, well, easiest) way to configure your own wine build? What I want is a mix of wine-staging as base, plus wine-ge/wine-tkg patches, optimizations for x86-64-v3 and -O3, enabled fsync and wayland (if possible, not just wayland features bu wayland-only build. I think wine-wayland does this, but I'm not sure if wine-tkg configuration value does the same thing or not... I actually doesn't even know how official wine's wayland support differs from this patchset).

AFAIK, there's no package that would combine ALL these feature at once, so I have to build it by my own? Here's as close as I could get to figure out these questions:

• most builds have fsync enabled by default so I guess that's not a problem;
• default wine-tkg build includes wine-ge patches so it can serve as replacement, but there's no wayland-specific patches and CPU optimizations in prebuilds, at least on Chaotic-AUR, I think;
• there are CachyOS and ALHP repos with x86-64-v3 prebuilds, but I doubt they package anythin except packages in official repositories;
• for wayland there's a mentioned wine-wayland repo with precompiled packages on releases page or Kron4ek wine builds, but from the quick look at these, they don't seem to provide wine-ge patches and compiled for generic x86-64

That's all for now, I guess. Sorry if this whole discussion is pointless and I'm just being an idiot. I found myself lost around all this complicated stuff and didn't find a better soultion than asking a community's opinion.

Hi all:

I am attempting to mod Fallout 3 GOTY on Linux, running on Proton Experimental. The vanilla game runs great, no issues there. All mods that don't require scripting (textures, models, animations) work great. Even ENBs are working as expected. I haven't experienced a single crash in over 10 hours of gameplay on this save.

For some reason it seems that any plugins are not being loaded by the game. They are all enabled in the "Plugins" section of Vortex. If Vortex install isn't working correctly, the program isn't telling me so, and since mods without plugins work perfectly I don't think it's Vortex. I've tried installing certain mods manually, and they apparently don't load that way either.

I haven't modded FO3 since 2017, so I've had to re-train myself on FOSE installation. I patched the game with AnniversaryPatcher and am launching via Fallout3.exe renamed to FalloutLauncherSteam.exe. FOSE appears to load correctly and be running in the background - GetFOSEVersion in-game returns a "1" and fose.log + DLLs like Stewie's Tweaks/NVAC/etc. are mentioned successfully loading in fose.log. FOSE.log's timestamp is being updated every time I launch the game.

Out of curiosity I ran a test on my copy of Windows 10 this afternoon and installed a fresh copy of the game/patched to old version/installed FOSE and a couple mods that have been problematic. They all worked immediately. That leads me to believe there's some issue with my Linux file system or Proton. But the whole stack here - Proton/FOSE/game/mods - is failing "silently" and I have no outright indication that anything is amiss - no errors in FOSE.log, no exclamation marks in-game, not a single crash. That's a big reason why it's taken me 10 hours to realize things are off!

Theoretically modding Fallout on Linux should be exactly the same processes as have existed on Windows for 16 years - it's just that the file paths are slightly different. I had to make a symlinked folder to get Vortex to read my Fallout 3 directory since Steam stores files by default under ".steam" which Vortex doesn't understand. To the best of my knowledge I am not missing any step in the traditional Windows process; in my test today I performed everything exactly as I have been on Linux trying to figure this out, and it worked first try, no problem.

The only other things I could think of today were that:

Maybe I'm missing vital Visual C++ redistributables - I installed 2013 and 2019 today to the Fallout directory, no change.

Maybe a permissions issue within Linux - did the unsafe "chmod a+rwx -R Fallout directory", no change.

I'm starting to be at a loss here, which is disappointing because mods without ESPs or ESMs work perfectly. I don't really want to play the game if I can't play with the best mods available like WMK/etc.

Anyone with more ideas to offer on this that I might have missed would be greatly appreciated!
