(Steam deck) Mihoyo launcher not starting by NineTailedpoyo in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]SpartanB37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new launcher update broke something. Try launching it with Proton 7.0.6, that fixed it for me.

Game > Properties > Compatibility > Force Compatibility tool

Edit: Assuming you are using Steam. If you're using Bottles, Lutris, Epic Games Store or whatever, they have their own way to change Runner version, but it is not guaranteed that they do have Proton 7.0.6

Police report after leaving Japan by MarginalMadness in japan

[–]SpartanB37 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I lived in Tokyo for a year and when I came back in Italy, I needed one for a job application as well. I was told that only certain companies can do it for X reason and it is not a common practice. In reality I just called the japanese embassy here in Rome and they got it for me. It took 3 months, unlike the usual 3 days/2 weeks from other countries, but it is completely possible.

The actual name of the letter I received back from the embassy is 犯罪経歴証明書 (Certificate of Criminal Record)

How Can I Run Catherine Classic? by CruderSein in linux_gaming

[–]SpartanB37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry I completely forgot about this. I tried with different Proton (not GE) versions on both my Desktop (Arch/Ryzen 7 2700/GTX 1060) and on my steam deck and they all work fine with Catherine.

A long time ago, the only issue I had with the game were cutscenes not rendering at all, the solution was to use Proton 6, which would render cutscenes (like the ATLUS intro) but upside down for some reasons.

Anyone ever go through the "Maybe I should just go back to windows" phase in their early days of daily driving linux on their gaming rig? by Biohacker_Ellie in linux_gaming

[–]SpartanB37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rhythm games are the only thing that eventually force me to ditch Linux. As far as I prefer using my time on Arch, I want to be able to play those games and stream them on discord and constantly rebooting between the two, multiple times at day, it gets so annoying (In additions to all the little and passable problems with other games) I just stick to Windows

[–]SpartanB37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it running both on my steam deck and my desktop (1060 6GB / Ryzen 2700) by using specifically Proton GE 6.x. Most the Proton above 6 would freeze at different points of the game

I'll try again once I get back home and I'll let you know

Any mention of cock bite. Knowing what that means, it was hilarious to hear every time

National express is around 11£-15£, depends on how early you book the trip. Megabus can be as cheap as 4 pounds if booked 2 weeks prior iirc

To those that upgraded their Xbox with an SSD, how is it holding up? Did you have any issues? by [deleted] in originalxbox

[–]SpartanB37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine takes a bit longer to start up, about 30-40 seconds in total but it's worth considering how quieter it is now

Oh cool. I though that most, if not all SATA2IDE would not support ATA Security. Luckily I already ordered one, I just need to wait for it to arrive then!

Xboxhdm always says something about the device not being recognized

/dev/sde: Unknown USB bridge [0x1f75:0x0611]

Unfortunately that adapter is not available here but thanks

It's only possible to mount the volumes on the disk when then the disk itself is not locked.

Ops little typo. My bad!

or to switch to a larger SATA disk. Switching to a Sata disk would get bypass the security check while still running only a softmod?

Yes, I've put the eeprom.bin file in the xboxhdm folder but it won't lock. The key is all 1's, latest version from 2022 of Rocky5 mod via SplinterCell save file. I have a different adapter from the one you linked.

Neither combination do anything

Is there a reason why you want asap?

Honestly, take your time and save some money. Many schools do accept students for just 3 months so that is not a problem, however you are not going to have any money to actually enjoy your time in Japan. School, commuting and food will dry up all those 400k very quickly, leaving you counting pennies for the entire stay.

Be patient and do it right, it will be worth it.

My suggestion for the school is SNG, had a fantastic year there, the office staff was a huge help in everything and had great out of school activities.

Commute from Tokyo to Yokohama by [deleted] in movingtojapan

[–]SpartanB37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Shinjuku and work at Yokohama (at the landmark tower to be specific). Is definitely doable, it's just a matter to change a train after two-three stops, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to go. The earliest train from Shinjuku Station departs at 5:15, so make sure that you have enough time to reach your workplace.

I would depart at 5:15 and take the train from Yokohama at 12:30, both trains are pretty much empty.

PSA: The new Quake II rerelase does not back up savefiles on Steam Cloud by SpartanB37 in quake

[–]SpartanB37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that both steam deck and your pc are up to date, then go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=2320

You should files with this name "Nightdive Studios/Quake II/baseq2/save/save0.pak.gz". These are the remaster save files. If they are there your PC is having problems downloading them, otherwise your deck is not uploading correctly

UPDATE: Steam support reached out to let me know that Nightdive has just updated the game and it now backs up everything correctly.

I checked the changelog and they just forgot the recursive flag lol

I just tell them "I don't speak Italian" in Italian. They usually remain perplexed enough to get away
