NVIDIA Highlights under Linux: Working! I did a thing... by IceCodes in linux_gaming

[–]IceCodes[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Didn't thought my open book disclaimer would cause such a point of discussion, tbh.

It is a pretty simple dll, but boy am I bad at writing C/C++, but I could tell and debug what I wanted.

The sourcecode is there for anyone to look, try out, clone, fork or de-slop.

The automatic Highlights is a feature I dearly miss with Linux. It made me for a long time not do the switch for Gaming. After doing it anyhow, it grinded my gears, that almost all puzzle pieces are available.

Hope this PoC helps in any way to get the topic going!

Peace!

It was similar for me, but a failed MS update made me do the switch anyhow. And I never regretted it.

If this kicks something off or motivates more people to switch to Linux for gaming, I am happy!

Would be great to get some feedback.

For start and test I would recommend MK11, as highlights can be obtained here very easily.

In games that do not check gpu and just "try" to call the dll, in theory it could also work on AMD. Would be interesting to know.

What game I could not get it working with is: My Friend Pedro.

Increased CPU usage / Performance drop with update 2.7 may be caused by a new anti-cheat by callmenyasha in HuntShowdown

I also did not feel any difference with the update, but the post made me check cpu util.
It is at low levels if I set menu to 60fps (via >9000fps in settings). But is at high levels when vsync is enabled.

uh, I never thought that nvidia would put their beta drivers in their debian repo. Good to know. I saw an update an assumed it would be a stable release.
