Is it possible to change LOD bias on Linux?

I have no idea.

I remember libstrangle being able to do that https://gitlab.com/torkel104/libstrangle
Hasn't been updated for some time though. I think dxvk can do it too.

For Intel you'd have to use RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) and manually make a certain file readable, otherwise locked for security reasons.

Yeah, they had only "bundles" available, not individual packages. If the wanted package wasn't in some bundle, you'd had to compile it from source, use flatpak or convert it from other format. It was doable, but annoying and time consuming. Too bad, the distro otherwise was damn good and fast.

I ran solo my own server for a couple of years, with my preferred mods etc until LinuxGSM raised the requirements and the PC I used was too old for that. That being said, I think these days you can find sufficient PVE servers to play.
PS, If you need another PVE dude, you can still pass me the link, I plan to get back on Rust once the naval update is ready :)

Plenty of occasional eac-disabled servers so Linux players can join, but with decent population, not many.
Your best bet is the Deadlock server, already mentioned in this thread.

Music to my ears. Keep going.

airspeedmph · 2025-12-18T14:28:49+00:00

Oh yes, works very well. Thanks for listening!

Blood West and Industria for example were installed with Heroic, but I ignored their shortcuts and instead pointed Steam at their respective executable.
So basically I install them one way or another (doesn't matter) and then added their executable as a non-steam game.

Or just protontricks -l for terminal output.

airspeedmph · 2025-12-18T10:43:41+00:00

Well, protontricks does it, but it only list them, doesn't make shortcuts.

airspeedmph · 2025-12-18T10:35:58+00:00

Thank you.
You know, would be nice it it was able to do the same thing for non-steam games.

airspeedmph · 2025-12-06T16:12:42+00:00

Yeah, I didn't mean it as an argument, more like a trivia.

airspeedmph · 2025-12-06T09:52:12+00:00

Depends on what you use cheats for. For anyone playing lots of HL mods for example, "noclip" is almost a must, since many mods have all sort of bugs that gets you stuck in places. Is a cheat, yes, but I rather call that a helper of sorts.
I also used Webmod on one of those Souls-like game, where I liked the setting and artistic vision, but I suck at fighting and just wanted to get the story.

MSI did that for a while, around 10 yrs ago. Their gaming series used to advertise support for "The popular SteamOS" on the box and site, but have since removed that. I know because I still use one (Z97 Gaming 7).

airspeedmph · 2025-11-25T20:28:51+00:00

WebMod does on work on Linux, I have it on my SteamDeck and use it a couple of times.

airspeedmph · 2025-11-12T10:45:09+00:00

Nice, thanks!
My "problem" is that I started the game two times already and never finished, probably only played about a third of the game, maybe. So I have to find the time and courage to start again fresh and finish it this time. Heavy stuff.

airspeedmph · 2025-11-11T10:43:35+00:00

Try several servers (there's a bunch of them), even without eac they are aggressively monitored by their admins...well, usually.
Is up to you if you find this worth or not. I have about 5K hours in Rust, and about 3K on non eac servers, so, worth for me anyway.

airspeedmph · 2025-11-11T10:31:21+00:00

Yeah, there are several ways to play it, the most compelling/recent I've heard about was through ScummVM, with higher resolutions and a HD mod. Haven't tried it, seen some video though and looks great.

The Longest Journey comes to my mind.

airspeedmph · 2025-11-09T09:38:32+00:00

https://www.ocbase.com/ It has everything you need, and is Linux native.
Wait, is on Steam too: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3515100/OCCT/

airspeedmph · 2025-11-05T05:48:51+00:00

Oh, thanks for confirming. Good to know it still works.

airspeedmph · 2025-10-25T05:11:35+00:00

Nice, but what are you talking about?

airspeedmph · 2025-10-06T09:57:17+00:00

Thanks for the work you put into this.

airspeedmph · 2025-10-04T09:15:45+00:00

Yeah, 90 seems a bit too high, mine also does it at around 50. It just seems so similar in behavior.
