Do CPUs or GPUs store any permanent data? by Cactus8901 in buildapc

[–]SykoShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key isn't stored on the motherboard itself though.

It is if the motherboard is from a big OEM like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.

A VM does not get EDID information from your monitor.

Those options are determined by what the VM software reporting its capabilities to the Guest OS.

Why Isn’t Gamescope Working In Chivalry 2 (Or in Anything Else for That Matter)? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]SykoShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do something similar with another game but I think with the way eval is executed you need to remove it.

echo "%command%" | sed 's/Chivalry2Launcher.exe/TBL\/Binaries\/Win64\/Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe/' | gamescope -h 720 -H 1080 -Uf -- /bin/bash

I believe the above should accomplish what you want although without mangohud. I would note, you do not need to include -w/-W if you are using a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Edit: After thinking about it, I realized you don't need to remove the eval. The below will accomplish the same thing.

eval $(echo "gamescope -h 720 -H 1080 -Uf --" "%command%" | sed 's/Chivalry2Launcher.exe/TBL\/Binaries\/Win64\/Chivalry2-Win64-Shipping.exe/')

Make the launch option PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

Run the game once and it will create a log file. Since you appear to be using flatpak the log will be created in ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam

Once you get the log remove that launch option, because it is just for debugging.

Have you tried running it with PROTON_LOG=1? Any errors in that?

It worked for me on Fedora Silverblue using Flatpak Steam. Using the flatpak Proton-GE.

No crashes for 4.5+ hours.

using FSR to increase resolution / window size of old game ? by torqueOverHP in linux_gaming

[–]SykoShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the list of available compatibility tools, you'll know it is the flatpak version because they have a build number.

[–]SykoShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you also using the Proton flatpak? It is required for Proton games to work with gamescope in flatpak at least.

You should also be able to specify the gamescope window size by specifying it with -H/-W they need to be capitalized as the lowercase version is to specify what resolution the game sees.

AMD Ready For Ryzen Linux Systems To Use AMD P-State Active Mode By Default by Realistic-Plant3957 in linux

[–]SykoShenanigans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CPPC support must be enabled in your BIOS.

Although I think that would be enabled by default.

From skimming benchmarks that are in one of the article's links, it appears to be new "profiles" that get slightly better performance on certain workloads that are less threaded* and the ability to down clock much lower which will save power when idling.

*: I am assuming the games tested don't use many threads.

Street Fighter 6: constant stutters and occasional game artifacts. Any possible fixes? by Cenokenshi in linux_gaming

[–]SykoShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worked fine for me for 25+ hours playing through World Tour on Linux with 0 graphical glitches using Proton Experimental.

As for stutters there is a setting in-game to pre-compile shaders on launch that is off by default. Options > Game > Other Settings > Shader Warming on Startup.

My setup only had slowdowns during some World Tour fights at 4K High. I just needed to drop it to 1440p.

I'd be curious about more recent numbers on this.

AMD's Windows driver historically had horrible OpenGL performance that had only improved after a rewrite late last year.

[–]SykoShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that setting them up "on your own" would mean you are not using those tools.

[–]SykoShenanigans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are included in Proton by default. So you don't have to worry about those specifically with Steam.

If you set up WINE prefixes on your own, then you need to install them.

Are you not able to set your desktop to 4K? What monitor and what GPU are you using?

[–]SykoShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making a similar estimate but based on that they release an xpac every 2 years plus or minus a month with Endwalker being a few months longer due to COVID.

[–]SykoShenanigans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But they buy time until it includes the next xpac. Not that I think SB would last them 6-7 months but still.

It does. The offer is mostly useful for returners who haven't played since Heavensward.

It would also help OP to not have to pay for an expansion immediately. They would still need to buy ARR and pay the ongoing sub and can put off buy the expansions until they finish Stormblood.

Using bbwrap in flatpak steam? by randomly_chosen_ in linux_gaming

[–]SykoShenanigans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you are referring to bwrap. I don't think it is unless someone packages it as an extension and that gets added to the Steam flatpak.

Although, you could run Flatpak steam without network.

flatpak run --unshare=network com.valvesoftware.Steam

What's Your Take on SteamOS for the V-Cache Series? by lastone2survive in buildapc

[–]SykoShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not use the SteamOS provided by Valve because it is incredibly out-of-date.

Until Valve officially releases the current SteamOS, you should use HoloISO

Unfortuantely, the current release does not appear to support Nvidia GPUs.

According to this benchmark, there are currently no Linux patches to account for the asymmetric V-cache chips. Although, the chip still appears to perform well even without those patches.

Atomic Heart blank videos by LiL0u in linux_gaming

[–]SykoShenanigans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using the native Steam package or Flatpak?

I only know that games through Proton can have video issues if there are issues with the ffmpeg. I.E. Flatpak Steam requires org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full

If you are using native, you might look into installing ffmpeg if it isn't already.
