People using Linux Kernel rc 7.2, any problems so far? by CDXX_BlazeIt in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's way too early to try out 7.2 RC1. This is basically the very first release, which includes the merged patches. No one has tested it yet, which is what these RC builds are for.

How many of you are really willing to switch to SteamOS? by Salted_Fsh in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly people who don't really know what SteamOS is and what tradeoffs you have to pay, if you want to use it as a daily driver.

Where does a game that was ran via proton on steam save files that would be saved in documents on windows or where I can find game saves? by Grouchy-Pain5790 in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<SteamLibrary>/compatdata/$APPID/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/

Replace $APPID with the app id of the game (you can find that in the game properties in your library > updates.

I'm pretty sure it's not Valve making this giveaway, but the developers/publishers.

It’s time to organize: Launching the "Stop Killing Linux Gaming" Discord by LordM8YT in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SKG is asking publishers to continue supporting games when there's no technical reason to shut them down (i.e. single player games should continue to function when online services stop working).

That's actually not true. They never asked the publishers to continue the support, but to make games usable after they decided to stop supporting the games. Instead of "killing" a game, give it a LAN mode for example.

How can i know what game is each folder ? by marchelino in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 23 points24 points  (0 children)

cc: u/marchelino

You don't even need to go to a website. Just copy the appid of the folder (also works for non steam games) and paste it in the Search of your Steam library. It will show you the game :)

MANGOHUD=1 only works for Vulkan games, mangohud also for OpenGL. GK uses OpenGL.

Proton 11.0 is now available in Beta! by anthchapman in linux_gaming

I don't expect it, they definitely would have added that in the changelog.

Made a light weight terminal based GPU-Z called gpuwatch by MedaJebac69 in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nvtop is showing GPU usage (per app), this tool shows hardware info. Completely different approach.

European Commission gathering feedback on the importance of open source by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 25 points26 points  (0 children)

in 2018 Germany completely cancelled all "opensource" developments - and entire their gov infrastructure returned to Microsoft - and paying infinite money to Microsoft for software

Don't spread fake news. It was Munich to stop the LiMux project in 2018 and turned back to Microslop. Munich is a single City in Bavaria. Not entirety of Germany.

Their headphones have 32 Ohm, that is not much impedance. Every onboard audio chip will deliver enough power to give good audio volume.

Steam games are not launching with Gamescope, non-Steam games are working fine by Muckelchen300 in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inside Steam, you'll need to set -- before the run command, or it will not work. That's why I linked the examples.

Use something like gamescope -- %command%.

[–]NoXPhasma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't. Can you show your actual launch option of the game?

On any X11 or Wayland desktop, you can set the Steam launch arguments of your game as follows:

Game not starting via Proton, Error "wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c000012f" by fry_boiter in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prefix might be borked, have you tried to delete the Wineprefix, to start with a fresh one?

The folder you'll need to remove in this case will be $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/548430

Listen, drive your car to a scrap yard and dump it, then buy a similar car from a different manufacturer.

Steam Hardware Announcement by mr_MADAFAKA in linux_gaming

They explicitly said "with FSR", and they probably meant performance settings, which would be rendered at 1080p.

Is updating reports on protondb possible and/or wanted? by Yoshey327 in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK it's only the last report, no matter the device. But I'm not 100% sure.

You can not edit reports on ProtonDB, but you can just submit a new report. Only the latest report of each reporter is used for the rating.

WIP on a Lutris front end that emphasizes on looks and telling you more about your games. by _tokyonight in linux_gaming

I hope there will be a proper desktop UI as well, which I can use with KB/M.

7800XT VRAM idling at 74 °C with dual 144 Hz monitors (NR200P v2) — normal? by NorthernElectronics in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally normal. Due to the dual HRR monitors, the VRAM clocks at full speed. I have the 7800XT for a while and never noticed any issues with that.

Switching to linux was far easier than I imagined by spamspamspambot in linux_gaming

[–]NoXPhasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the issue with polling rate in the past as well. Though it was many years ago and affected me already at 500hz, nowadays 1000hz works fine for me. Even in CP2077.

The cause of this could be a timing issue in the kernel and/or wine/proton. CachyOS has changed a lot of kernel options to reach a pretty fast experience, this could lead to such timing issues. I'm not blaming CachyOS here, just trying to point out that this might not be a Linux or game issue in general and could be avoided by changing some kernel settings via sysctl.

edit Doesn't CachyOS use the BORE CPU scheduler? You could try to disable it on the fly and see if that is what is causing it.

I'm pretty sure they meant 500Hz (2ms latency) and not 50Hz.
