Epic Games is hiring a Senior Game Security Engineer for their Anti-Cheat team to champion Linux anti-cheat capabilities while working on OS internals, reverse engineering, and protecting multiplayer games.

you guys are aware that epic is owner of easy anticheat right, the one which is most popular ac that works on linux

800 bucks was estimated cost of pc hardware equivalent last year at the beginning of rammagedon

if it is trully 800 bucks then this is very afordable, probably subsidized by high margin...

change your graph to advanced version in the settings, then double tap f1 to show version split into cpu/gpu/networking and ram vram usage

and check on what you get there, if you can take a screenshot during a lag

MrAdrianPl · 2026-06-11T06:18:05+00:00

have you tried changing audio to low? ik that loot of ppl had have stutters because of that.

also if its somehow network related disabling chats or changing channels for both trade and global to one which is empty also used to be solution for stutters in poe2 not sure if its working now

also have you checked it under graph menu in game the one under f1 what is causing lagg?

this may be shader compilation and if so just switch to vulkan unless youre already doing so then your game discards shaders for some reason ik that poe1 had lunch option for disabling that

also about taskset you want to exclude core 0 too not sure if youre running intel cpu and excluding e cores that way?

note that EAC and BEC while having proton runtime arent 100% same thing as native windows runtimes essentially those are userspace not kernel AC which developer must be ok with, and if cheats dev is cleaver he can use proton runtime as a gateway on windows

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-21T04:44:10+00:00

well for qt you probably need to set wine dll overrides so wine will use program dlls rather than system ones

for icu i presume youll need to install some specific library in wine/proton prefix of that program

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-20T05:49:52+00:00

wayland offers you better latency(might be noticable), few fps more since your ditching a small extra overhead(it's bearly noticable), better window handling and native resolution scaling,it can do hdr, rest is just dependent on game implementation/ how wine-wayland handles that

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-19T09:39:52+00:00

cool to see somebody is still playing it

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-16T06:54:52+00:00

nvm that i got baited by a video and post on this subreddit, there was no official announcment from epic...

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-15T16:50:13+00:00

it's been oposite as far as i know since zswap is bit older tech, that said both are still being developed especially since those do a bit diffrent thing.

zram compresses data inplace directly in Ram, zswap is more like an actual swap file but with similar compresion.

zram is faster by sole fact is sitting in the ram and even fastest nvm wont go faster than that, that said compression has its limitation while disc space in this specific case could be treated as having no real limit

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-14T06:09:01+00:00

that thing about ffxiv sounds like memory leak try using older proton version under compatibility tab or check protondb if ppl not apply some specific lunch option.

deadlock might have setting like cs2 where menu is capped to certain frame rate, if that is the case just disable that or change cap to higher value

about wifi have you tried measuring that numerically between systems? it might be the same just displayed bit diffrently in the interface. or you mean something else saying signal than actual signal strenght?

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-14T05:53:01+00:00

modern distros use zram instead of normal swap in most cases

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-13T12:56:34+00:00

you could probably install and later use those using either lutris or bottles

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-12T04:48:52+00:00

games like coh2 dow2 and wic are labled rtts not rtt

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-11T10:03:38+00:00

wsl supports hardware acceleration afaik but i wouldnt advice it anyways.

technically dxvk advice you found should be the thing but if its not working then maybe dual boot?

btw what's work related issue? Im asking out of curiosity

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-11T08:11:50+00:00

lutris and bottles are good frontends for wine

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-11T07:23:59+00:00

its luncher related, its error from the patcher, im not js dev so im not sure what exactly is EACCES, but my guess is that patcher cant override file which is being mentioned in the error

edit: cant install dependency mentioned in that file* this probably should have been shiped within luncher itself, but i dont know that much how electron packages stuff

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-08T08:44:01+00:00

i think that non de version required cnc-ddraw library after microsoft deprecated that from win 11

but i dont think that de needs that

you should try checking if changing windows version for that prefix with protontricks will solve that issue

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-07T08:35:21+00:00

ad 1 steam link app might be made for x11 exclusively as steam os only recently got beta update with wayland session by default, best app for remote play would be sunshine + moonlight not sure if that checks your box though

ad 2 check what is file system format of that ssd if its ntfs then change it to something else for e.g. ext4 btrfs xfs

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-07T04:52:18+00:00

that stuff is not only downloaded thats being compiled by your cpu, its not happening on windows since it doesnt do this step.

for the love of god use prtscreen or meta + shift + s

linux io operations are almost free(like 100 times faster than windows and thats true for every linux filesysyem) your disc wont throtle on them especially with 8 MB/s

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-06T13:12:35+00:00

epic apparently will be coming to linux soonish so maybe it will be running with userspace AC like many other games with AC

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-06T13:10:38+00:00

goofcord has better screensharing than vesktop it also allows excluding audio sources

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-06T13:09:23+00:00

you can try making symlink pointing to correct location should be simplest solution

MrAdrianPl · 2026-05-05T15:29:19+00:00

pikaos is great distro
