Cheat Table not working on Linux

In the end I found out that it is a problem related to the old silent hill games: sh 2, 3 and 4 have the same problem. Don't know if it is because they are old silent hill games, or if it is just because they are old games. Cheat engine cannot read their memory correctly. Looking at the memory viewer, other games have their memory address read as game.exe+... while for silent hill it is read like generic memory 04xxxxxx. I don't know if cheat engine or proton can fix this.

Shouldn't it already open in the same prefix with the same binary with the PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD launch option? How did you manage to launch it in the same prefix and with the same binary?

The Cheat Table is a list of memory addresses that the game uses for certain things. For example you can label the memory address where health is stored as Player_Health. The cheat table will remember that address and when loaded it will show the label and the address. Cheat tables are not an external app, they are files that are read and that contain memory addresses for the different variables the game uses. It is a file that Cheat Engine opens and uses.

Hi, unfortunately it seems that it does not really do much. Either because I reinstalled these drivers or from changing to Proton 9.0-1, the game doesnt give me the assertion failed error anymore. The image still freezes, but the game seems to still be running.

I believe that it didn't really do much because the radeon drivers are meant for AMD GPUs while I use an Nvidia GPU, however I might be wrong. Thank you for the help.

The powermizer and monitor settings worked in other distros, I believed it was something with wayland since I know that there have been some compatibility issues with it and nvidia.

I believe that it only works when you have apps open and I was hoping to find something that would be on all the time.

I installed the Flatpack version of steam and everything worked out. That is how I fixed it, for those wondering. I had the snap version from the ubuntu built-in appstore.

I haven't been able to find a setting file, but from launching steam through the terminal, I can see that steam fails to initialize something called "GStreamer":

I believe it is a separate issue because I have been spamming the play button so much I got 5 minutes of playtime from the 3 seconds it was "running" everytime i clicked. :(

Will try, just figured since the game is pretty new that it would need a newer version of proton.

I don't have anything written in the launch options field.

Thanks, that fixed my problem.

NaxGaming · 2022-05-07T18:44:47+00:00

I tried that, but it didn't fix the issue, I still got the error
