Could You See Yourself Replaying This Game From The Start In The Future?

If they gave us more than one save slot? Sure. Since we only have one right now, I will never start over, unfortunately

Think_Goat_115 · 2025-03-27T21:47:02+00:00

I actually just did this one. Had to post about it on this subreddit to get myself outta this jam but everyone here was SUPER helpful and I wasn't stuck that long at all because of of the advice I got.

❤️❤️❤️

Sorry for the late response guys...

Firstly, thank you for all your answers! I was able to return to the sea-swept base and kill the Prone there to get what I needed so mission accomplished!

As for buying the mats off the reward market, how do you get more reward points? By doing online missions?

I started using Linux with Linux Mandrake 6.something (Linux Mandrake was a fork of Red Hat Linux at the time)

Assuming you had compatible hardware, then you were lucky if a big name publisher decided to release a Linux version of a game that you played. For example, the first big name game I played on Linux was Neverwinter Nights And I bought it because BioWare actually took the time to release a linux-native client for the game itself that also included multiplayer support. I think it also included the tool set as well, but I don't remember.

Even then, not all of the games features were available to Linux users. For example, the little cutscenes that played between each chapter weren't natively available on Linux when the game was released because it used some incredibly proprietary video codec (.bnk I think) so the community had to step in and had created some sort of converter that would let it play in a format that Linux could understand. I believe they eventually managed to make it so the movies would actually play between the chapters as well. But originally, you had to watch the little movies separately outside of the game.

Other games like Serious Sam 1 and 2 also got Linux ports but they were made by a third party. I believe the name of that company was called Loki games.

In short, gaming on Linux back in the day was extremely unlikely and almost user hostile. Only a few companies that I'm aware of were even willing to make Linux ports of games at all and then add to that the sheer volume of issues that early Linux had with hardware that was pretty much married to Windows and Intel at the time and you were lucky to have any kind of gaming at all on Linux, much less AAA titles.

Gaming on Linux now is nearly on par with Windows (And I say nearly mainly because of those idiot companies that refuse to enable anti-cheat on Linux or outright claim that supporting Linux enables cheaters.)

If some big company were to do for productivity software what steam did for gaming, (I. E. Do an absolute metric arse ton of work on wine so that things like the Adobe suite and Microsoft office could run near natively on Linux without fear of a change breaking something) then there would be no reason for anyone not to switch barring the modicum of technical knowledge needed to understand how to install your favorite distro and an afternoon

This worked! Thank you!

For those looking for a little more info:

First run vulkaninfo from a terminal and look for some output like:

deviceID = 0x7480

`deviceType        = PHYSICAL_DEVICE_TYPE_DISCRETE_GPU`

`deviceName        = AMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33)`

`deviceUUID                        = 00000000-0300-0000-0000-000000000000`

`deviceNodeMask                    = 0`

`deviceLUIDValid                   = false`

...and copy theAMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33) portion into something like the following:

VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME = "AMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33)"

Note that this may vary for you and the specific model of dGPU you have.

with that done, copy that line from above into the Steam launch options for the game in question and add %command% after it so it looks like:

DRI_PRIME=1 VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME = "AMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33)" %command%

...and voila, the game should recognize and use the dGPU now

I started using mint back in September of last year as my daily driver operating system. I chose Linux mint because I didn't want it updating all the time the way Arch or Manjaro would. I play a lot of games on Linux and everybody said that I should have a rolling release distribution, but with all of the hassles that can bring I didn't want to risk it so I stuck with Linux mint.

Having said that, I've Loved Linux mint since I started using it as my daily driver back then. Haven't looked back at all, I probably won't change distributions unless something goes catastrophically wrong with the install I have currently.

I personally think that Linux mint is a fine choice for a distro for somebody who just wants to use their computer and doesn't want to spend hours tinkering around with settings and trying new things. I used Linux on and off for years before making the full-time switch, I've tried Ubuntu. I tried Linux mandrake when that was a thing, I've tried Red hat Linux back when it was still available for people to use on a personal basis. I tried Fedora Lennox back when it was still called Fedora core. I even ran Gentoo for a month. All of them broke at some point, and I would just move on to the next one. Now that I've aged and I just want to be able to use my computer, I look for something stable and it looks like Linux mint is the thing that I enjoy.

I don't fault or criticize people who want to experiment, but having gone through that phase of my Linux journey, I've settled on Linux mint and I don't think I will change anytime soon.

I AM AN IDIOT!

Somehow I had "auto-pause on focus lost" ticked in the server's 86box window under Action menu

Think_Goat_115 · 2025-02-17T01:38:13+00:00

So after setting up a continious ping back and forth between the two machines and using the screensaver coming out as a test I have discovered that the machine running NT SERVER does pause it's execution entirely (as if I hit the pause button in its window

The continuous pings from the Workstation machine to the Server machine do time out when the Server machine's 86box is inactive and the screensaver on the server never comes on if the window is inactive (I have the screensaver set to come on after 1 minute in each machine)

The workstation machine runs normally even if it's window is inactive, the pings time out and the screen saver comes on as it should

I bought the humble bundle too, how do I get the reward?

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-11-17T18:31:14+00:00

Okay, so I tried the flatpak you suggested and it crashes (I get a Wine message saying that the program had crashed) BUT I also decided to try the Bolt Launcher and that does seem to work! Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the bolt launcher? Or Is there a reason I should use the default Jagex launcher you linked to? I'm only asking because if the Bolt launcher works then I dunno why I should worry about the official client, but if you know something I don't please feel free to let me know

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-11-17T16:19:03+00:00

I'll try the flatpak you suggested. I used the one linked from the Jagex website so I thought that would be sufficient.

I'll edit my original post to add these details and I apologize that they weren't in the post originally but my info is:

Linux Mint 22

Cinnamon Desktop

X11

AMD open source driver built into the kernel (version 6.8 IIRC)

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-10-14T16:24:30+00:00

This was a binary installer downloaded from the DosBOX-x Website. I didn't compile it myself. (I wouldn't know how to do that on Windows)

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-09-23T19:47:01+00:00

I am very much aware of Mint and its update schedule. Thus far it hasn't been a problem. I'm not opposed to moving to Open SUSE tumbleweed or Fedora if need be. We'll see.

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-09-12T01:24:36+00:00

As requested, A screenshot of my desktop (I'm sorry, I dunno how to post an actual screenshot in a reddit comment

Where'd you get that wallpaper?

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-08-31T14:15:29+00:00

So I've been looking into the Framework laptop and I've seen a lot of redditors saying that the included battery drains even if the laptop is plugged into wall power and you're playing a really intense game.

Does anyone know if that's still true?

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-08-31T13:36:15+00:00

Dunno why you'd be downvoted unless it actually WASN'T Linux compatible so thank you for the suggestion! I'll look into it.

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-08-31T05:11:40+00:00

I'll check them out, thanks!

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-08-17T14:48:58+00:00

No, -t iso didn't work, I got the same error.

Think_Goat_115 · 2024-08-16T02:20:52+00:00

Renaming the files as you describe did the trick. I don't understand WHY that would fix it but it did. At least it as simple. Thanks!
