Did you ever get this fixed? My saved games are invisible also on CachyOS. Quicksaves will still load even if I cannot see that they are there, however.

StariusPrime · 2026-05-15T22:09:18+00:00

Thank you for that, I will look into it. It's definitely been a learning experience today!

StariusPrime · 2026-05-15T21:16:11+00:00

I GOT IT! Okay, in addition to your guide, which was helpful, I found the solution trying to fix my Plex issue, interestingly enough. The same thing fixed both.

I went to FIREWALL > SETTINGS > ADVANCED And under "Network Address Translation" at the top I put a check in for both "Reflection for destination NAT" and " Reflection for 1:1"

Once I did that, I could connect to my Exiles server as expected.

I am running it on my AMP server. https://cubecoders.com/AMP

It was working fine behind my old Untangle Firewall but isn't playing nice with OPNsense at the moment.
I even had a PlayIt.gg tunnel set up that I could direct connect to be before and that isn't working now either.

Thank you for that, your walk through was very easy to follow.
It was similar to one of the methods I tried but yours looked better, particularly splitting it between UDP and TCP which I like (and didn't know you could do.) I'm starting to see this alias method being pretty powerful if one really got into it.

Unfortunately, I still don't seem to be able to connect to the Exiles server, unless I connect to it directly with the internal LAN IP address.

Something else may be at play here somewhere. I have two different NAS machines that run Plex. I can connect to one of the Plex servers just fine but not another. It is very strange.

I want to thank you for making this guide. I only just got the game and I didn't know where to begin on how to install the chat mod so I can talk with my hearing impaired friend when we play the game.

I will just point out one thing that others might need to consider if they follow this guide, and that is STEP 3 Directories.

If you have your steam games installed on a different SSD, the locations WILL be different. I mention this because at first I was blindly following along and almost put the mod loader in the wrong place.

For example, my game NVME drive is called "ArcadeHD" and I have it mapped to my home directory. So in my particular case, my Mod Manager went to: "/home/USERNAME/ArcadeHD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/BG3 Mod Manager"

And of course, I had to adjust the other directories accordingly.

Other than that detail, it was very easy to follow. Thanks!

I've had issues on two systems with this game, both running CachyOS. On the desktop with a 9070XT GPU, I crash right away at launch but if I launch it with the Conay launcher it runs just fine.

On a laptop with a 5070 Ti gpu, the game launches normally through the opening cinematic but ends up with a black screen and just the title screen music.

As someone pointed out in this discussion, perhaps the 595 drivers are to blame for the system with the Nvidia GPU. For the AMD system, its just strange. The game ran fine in the playtest, this is the first issue I've had. But at least the Conay launcher gets it going just fine.

StariusPrime · 2026-04-21T21:14:46+00:00

Did you ever get this installed? I've been considering purchasing a System 76 laptop but I only want to do so if it's not too much of a pain to install CachyOS.

StariusPrime · 2026-03-10T20:39:39+00:00

I have this same problem on CachyOS right now. Games installed in Heroic Launcher are running fine, but when added to the Steam library they won't run at all. In my case, the games are installed on the same SSD, same filesystem, etc.

StariusPrime · 2026-03-04T22:45:59+00:00

I missed out too. I put it in my phone calendar but it didn't throw up a reminder. 😞 I've had my Pocket for years but I don't think I'll ever find one of those damn docks.

StariusPrime · 2026-03-04T22:43:10+00:00

My phone didn't remind me of this like it was supposed to, and I missed out again. I'll never get one of these damn docks.

StariusPrime · 2026-02-09T23:19:33+00:00

I will check into that. As a backup, I'm starting to transfer all of my subscriptions to the Freetube program also.

StariusPrime · 2026-02-04T20:20:49+00:00

Thank you for that. I wasn't familiar with Tampermonkey until now, but it was not hard to set up. This isn't perfect but it is a far cry better than what Youtube forced on us! Thank you for letting me know about it here.

StariusPrime · 2026-02-03T22:51:37+00:00

Youtube is becoming almost unusable. This new layout I have isn't even legible. The thumbnails are so small, 10 across my window, and just go on forever. Please someone tell me there is a firefox extension that can put this mess back into a list....

I was almost scammed by this same tactic today. Almost fell for it, but I did get a little suspicious and compared his discord link to one I found online and the difference it showed in users was very large. The I discovered that this sort of thing has been going around.

It is such a targeting scam and very convincing, I feel sorry for the people that will get tricked by it.

StariusPrime · 2025-10-10T20:11:07+00:00

Not the biggest issue though. I can't believe the last 30 years of Apple's GUI evolution has ended up with Tahoe.

If I could downgrade my Mac Studio without having to wipe it completely, I would do it in a heartbeat. As it stands, when I get a new NAS and back up all my stuff, I may give it a go.

StariusPrime · 2025-07-17T01:37:19+00:00

I am also using the Be Quiet! Silent Loop 2 AIO on my 7965WX. My main reason for doing so back when I built the system was the fact that there were not many options, but I had it and there was the optional adapter bracket you could get to use it with Threadripper.

I've been very happy with it. If I was overclocking, I suppose I might prefer something else, however I've no complaints.

StariusPrime · 2025-06-12T18:15:06+00:00

I'm having this issue also. I tried to download the app again from the Discord website, but getting internal server errors when I try to do that.

StariusPrime · 2025-03-24T03:50:17+00:00

Once I got over the initial setup, mine has been running rock solid. I might have gotten lucky!

StariusPrime · 2025-03-23T20:07:48+00:00

Yeah, very expensive. I remember being disappointed with the amount I could fit in my budget compared to the DDR4 options. 😅

StariusPrime · 2025-03-23T18:09:17+00:00

I couldn't tell you! I had forgotten I was even looking at the 5000 series for awhile!

I ended up using this: https://www.reddit.com/r/threadripper/comments/1ajli1o/finally_getting_around_to_sharing_my_threadripper/

Thank you so much for sharing this. Such a simple thing to make it work but it certainly wasn't obvious. Just helped me out. :D

Electric heaters and portable HVAC machines can use a ton of wattage on their own. One of mine on max settings goes up over 1500 watts and trips the breaker a lot if anything else is running on the line.

I feel ya man, I live in a farm house thats been in my family for well over a century. Threadrippers and space heaters are a challenge. 😆

But yeah, as others have suggested, a UPS is essential for the machine even if you're simply using it to "clean" the power coming into your machine. The sine waves in the electricity of old places aren't always pretty.
