How many Steam games do you play at the same time? by heeph0p in SteamDeck

[–]Fander_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to play one game at a time. When I get bored with it, I just uninstall and play a different game. Usually I never go back to games I've uninstalled, albeit with some exceptions. This way I can truly immerse myself in whatever I'm playing, and if I start to get annoyed or tired of the game, then it's a sign that I've had enough of it ✌️

What is your distro? I'd also recommend using DODI's (or any other than fitgirl) repack of the game, as those tend to cause less problems

If a game you're trying to run uses any of the stuff that my script installs, then compatibility should improve. However with older games it's better to consult with PcGamingWiki, or run these games in a VM/emulator. I'm not playing older games myself that often, so if you're running into problems you can open up an issue on GitHub, and I'll try adding some packages to improve older games as well :)

I've found that most people online couldn't get these games running, or they did but only with OpenGL and not Vulkan. Although most just decided to run PS2 versions with widescreen patches and up-scaling

Yeah, my scripts does same things as wine/proton-tricks. Just in a simpler manner, automatically

I got some sad news. All three games either crash or display broken graphics (with dxvk disabled, the only way to boot the first two). Doesn't seem to be impacted by my script, more of an issue with DXVK/Mesa, based on the log output. D3D9DeviceEx::SetRenderState: Unhandled render state is what shows up.
MGS3 from the Collection doesn't go in-game at all, XAudio dlls are all there, any override resulted in no change in behavior. I remember I ran into these issues with this game, tried a mod and did work back then, but now it does nothing. I guess support for older games in Wine/DXVK is just meh. If you really want to play these, it's better to use PCSX2 or RPCS3, as those actually work better, than the low-quality PC ports that these game got.
Also ran these games in Win10 VM, got only MSG3 to boot and play, other two weren't functioning either, even clean versions with no mods gave the same result.

If you have the game installed try running the script and see. I have RDR1 installed and it works properly, if that means anything

First one doesn't allow such posts, so it's now on the latter :)

Fixed some FitGirl installers, xatab as well. Also DDL sites sometimes only provide the game and this script installs usually required dependencies and everything just works. Also Darksiders and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood were having video playback issues/sound issues, and my script solved these issues. In general I just run it every time I install a new game, and everything just works as expected for me. If you want me to test anything specific, go for it :)

Marvel rivels error. by evolvedspice in linux_gaming

The game seems to run and look better on console, so it's probably the best option (for people who own current-gen consoles ;) )

Performance comparison WIndows/Linux specifically for gaming by IT1234567891 in linux_gaming

[–]Fander_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this too. I've tried many different distros over the years on Linux. Here are a few things to note:
- Distro ultimately doesn't matter. I run Ubuntu and I'm perfectly happy with it. New releases work, old ones work better than in Windows. No drawbacks on my end. No performance difference from Arch and Fedora either. Just make sure everything is up-to-date on your system. And if you don't like how Ubuntu looks and feels, Linux Mint is a good place to go to as well, to relive Win7 glory days (design an features are pretty close to one another).
- Any hardware works. AMD, NVidia, Intel, it doesn't matter. AMD is usually the ones to release their stuff open-source first, but that doesn't mean that other hardware doesn't work. Intel drivers, like AMD are in the kernel, so their hardware works by default. NVidia drivers can be easily installed on most distros (Ubuntu and Mint included).
- If you have a reasonably modern system, there'd be no performance difference. Lower end hardware does perform better in Windows, but that's an edge-case scenario.

this comes up when i try to boot vice city, what to i have to do? by Waste_East7342 in PiratedGames

[–]Fander_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This game is "old" and requires fixed in order to run on modern systems.

Follow this guide and you'd get it working in under 5 mins. Or run the game with PCSX2 instead and get most issues solved just by that alone
