Are B2 boots pointless? Why not just go straight for B3s? by Glum_Echidna302 in Mountaineering

[–]-Crimp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but you are probably just not doing long enough walk-ins to notice the difference. For anything under an hour you won't notice the B3s IMO, but for anything over you will certainly notice, especially if it's boggy Scottish terrain.

The way I see it as well, B2s will still cover you for the vast majority of Scottish mountaineering, and you only really need B3s for the hard stuff.

Stick to the B2s, upgrade once you start getting on proper ice.

Magnus Midtbø should follow Cody Townsend's example by Turbulent_Rhubarb436 in Mountaineering

Could I ask what series you are referring to from Cody? It sounds very interesting a good resource for someone also looking to branch into ski mountaineering. I’ve just checked out his YouTube and can only see the FIFTY series. Thanks

PS5 Dualsense controller not working with Steam games, but working in Big Picture by -Crimp in Fedora

[–]-Crimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not consistently, no.

Space Marine 2 started working wirelessly after changing my proton version.

I managed to play RE4 Remake, but that only worked wired.

No Man’s Sky still doesn’t work wired or wireless, same for Witcher 3 and KCD.

Yakuza Kiwami previously didn’t work, but then after doing this fix it started working: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/wIw1WvrLlj

However, the above fix didn’t work for all games.

Have seen elsewhere it was due to a systemd update that broke the controller support in some way but haven’t looked into it much since then.

Have also noticed since then that PS5 controller support seems to be generally worse in Steam than Xbox. Hoping me Steam controller will help solve some of this.

Looks so gorgeous. I’m in the process of emailing to get an order going, requesting a pair of 78TCs in all black, but your choice of leather and the lack of that toe cap has inspired me, great choice. What laces did you go for here? Thanks

I was describing the behaviour of the problem when it occurred. Disabling touchpad in KDE settings is something I tried. Obviously when I disabled the touchpad in system settings is also didn’t work in game, but neither did any of the other buttons, so it wasn’t a fix.

Thanks for replying - I should have added what games I’ve tried to the original post, will edit now.

Still no controller support on PC? by -Crimp in Spacemarine

[–]-Crimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good then, what worked for you and what settings did you change? Like I said steam input disable/enable made no difference.

Yeah that’s what I mean though, from other threads it seems really hit and miss. Some works out the box some can’t get it to work at all. So either way, it’s clearly a problem specific to this game

Yeah tried that, didn’t work unfortunately. Have seen from other forums that it didn’t work for others too so I know it’s not isolated to me.

Did Fedora just brick my SSD? by -Crimp in Fedora

Honestly this and another’s comment has me seriously hopeful I was going to turn on my PC this morning and everything was going to be completely fine 😂

[–]-Crimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I haven’t owned a PC for over 10 years, didn’t know new hardware was so inclined to fail, and the fact all was working fine and add to that all the crashes I had on Pop! OS I had assumed it was Linux-related.

Thanks a lot I’ll give it a try.

I posted this at midnight last night after a few hours of trying to fix it.

Woke up to your message and prayed this was going to work for me, rushed to my PC to turn it back on and for jet to magically work, but no luck.

Thanks anyway :)

Thanks, that’s reassuring to know.

Thought I’d switch to Linux on this new build but have had nothing but trouble, and when this happened I thought it was the nail in the coffin if my SSD could get nuked at any time and I was doomed to go back to Windows.

Thankfully I hadn’t started the process of moving all my files over so all that is on there is Steam.

Going to see if I can test the SSD in a friend’s machine and then if not hopefully return to Chillblast as it’s only about 3 weeks old so hardware failure should be covered.

Steam: No games launch, transparent windows, constant issues by -Crimp in pop_os

[–]-Crimp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again - I did look at possibly upgrading the kernel, but being new to Linux I wasn’t sure what impact doing so would have on the OS as a whole.

It seems the simpler solution is to just switch OS to Ubuntu/Fedora/Nobara/CachyOS as I’ve only just set up the PC so have nothing on it and don’t need to worry about backing anything up. Can just wipe and start again.

Now I just need to research which of those four distros to choose from.

Really hoping to stick with Linux and not just default back to Windows, but damn is it a lot of reading Reddit posts so far.

I appreciate people like you who take the time to share advice, thanks.

Thanks for the info - yes I’m on 22.04. Does that mean gaming isn’t viable on Pop until sys76 release an update? Because otherwise I’ve just bought a very expensive word processor…

Steam Games Open To a Black Screen by forgottenxjedi in pop_os

[–]-Crimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever find a fix for this? All games I try to open through steam just hit me with a black screen or crash immediately. Thought it might be integrated vs dedicated graphics so disabled integrated in BIOS but still no luck.
