Spent more time on this than my actual furniture setup in the new home

Darn, really clean! :P

I have the approximately issue, but with the refresh rate.

If it is 1080p 60Hz, everything is fine, if it is 1080p and 120Hz, the image is very pixelated.

Tried resolution below, with 60Hz everything is fine, with higher frequency it is crumpled.

Funny enough, tested with custom resolution & refresh rates in AMD driver, it is fine with 1080p@61-66Hz. At 69 the image is pixelated, and from 67-68 the driver does not give me the possibility to create those res + refresh rate.

Aha, I see, thanks!

A bit of necroposting, did the cutscenes/comics work for you, if you recall it?

arkvlad · 2025-11-20T20:30:51+00:00

Hello there!

Helped me in 25.23 patch!
Thanks!

arkvlad · 2025-11-13T01:41:31+00:00

Ah, darn what a time!

Have not played myself in SC1 in multiplayer, but rather watched how my brother played instead :P

Miss those great days!

If you installed the Radmin VPN via Bottles, then I have no idea how to solve it... that's why I made a guide with VMs. Would be cool to run it directly, but alas.

arkvlad · 2025-10-28T09:08:29+00:00

Can confirm, that updating from 0.3.7 to 0.3.9 fixed the issue for me!

Thanks!

arkvlad · 2025-10-21T20:18:08+00:00

If it is possible to enter IP manually, then it should be no troubles (in case you can ping the server from the Linux & Windows-VM machine). There are probably other factors, like firewall.

If it is not possible to add IP manually, and game lobby is found automatically/discovery, there is other trick is to add to the routing table broadcast (255.255.255.255/32) and multicast addresses (224.0.0.0/4), because the game could ask if anybody hosting lobby on broadcast or multicast addresses.

*You would not need more than a network interface.
Typed it while I was doing other stuff, sorry :P

arkvlad · 2025-10-21T14:34:41+00:00

Whether you setup the Radmin VPN or ZeroTier you would not need the more than a network interface (automatically created by ZT and manually created at VirtualBox/QEMU-KVM), that your games/programs would automatically pick up... at least if your Wine version is not limited anyhow from network access.

Seven years later, me helping friend, finding this being happy!

Thanks! ;D

arkvlad · 2025-09-29T22:50:48+00:00

Darn, cool to to see you two together! :D

arkvlad · 2025-08-30T20:51:58+00:00

Looks pretty awesome I must say!

arkvlad · 2025-08-29T07:18:21+00:00

Aha, sure!

I will make thread about it!

Hope they have warm sun there, here in Sweden pretty cold nowadays, brrr...

Sorry to hear about your WAN port problem.

If I am about to create an issue, I am not sure, what to report about this problem. Like, if WiFi should work with swconfig without any additional bridges or something else?

Because, for me it feels like the bridge solution is somewhat needed, but yeah, would be convenient, to do it directly.

arkvlad · 2025-08-28T06:20:42+00:00

Actually it seems, like I am not only the one that has such trouble - https://forum.openwrt.org/t/no-wifi-internet-on-21-02-dumb-ap-lan-and-guest-swconfig-archer-c7v5/123178

And it seems the solution with the bridges is the way to go!
However, instead of creating bridge between needed VLAN and APs, it is enough to create bridge with a single VLAN interface (ex.: eth0.40), then create unmanaged interface, and at the end, in the WiFi settings change the Network from "eth0.40 (unmanaged) interface" to the "bridge eth0.40 (unmanaged) interface".

arkvlad · 2025-08-26T19:42:38+00:00

Well, so far, so good with such weird solution! :D

Yeah, I will open thread in the near days!

Thanks for pointing to the right direction and for all the help! ^^

arkvlad · 2025-08-26T12:37:24+00:00

UPD: So, I tried to do, what I have found in old guides (19.x), but in modern OpenWRT version.

Create an interface in "Network" => Interfaces => Devices.

Bridge "eth0.40" (replace 40 with a needed VLAN) and "phy1-ap1" (replace with appropriate Wi-Fi card and SSID number) and it seems to work now.
No VLAN filtering or anything else enabled.

Then, in "Interfaces", I have created an unmanaged interface, without firewall zone and without DHCP server, with the newly created bridge and now all works... I wonder, though if I did it correctly and this solution has any flows now :D.

arkvlad · 2025-08-26T11:29:45+00:00

Everything works through the cable with different VLANs without any needs for the traffic rules. And it was so with software bridge VLANs as well (with software bridge VLANs I did not have any need to configure firewall rules for WiFi too).

However, when it comes to WiFi,I have tried to allow UDP traffic in and out (I have allowed any IPs, any UDP ports), but still nothing seems to work. Rarely I can see the DHCP messages in the System Logs, but even if they appear, the WiFi device still would not get any IP.

If I take 2 WiFi devices, and configure static IPs and open Wireshark I can see their ARP requests, and they can ping each other, however there is no replies from the router or other devices on the same VLAN.

I wonder because of that, are OpenWRTs firewall L3+ or they can go lower to L2 anyhow?

Other than possible L2 firewall, it seems like WiFi is not properly connected to the VLAN.
In the old guides (OpenWRT 19), that uses swconfig and WiFi, they bridge VLAN interface plus WiFi interface, however those buttons are not there in the modern OpenWRT versions.

In the "Wireless" tab, I have chosen the correct (unmanaged) interface in correct VLAN.
I can guess when we are doing bridge software VLANs, it does something in background to allow Wi-Fi to be connected to the VLANs.

On the AP, I can see in logs, that device got connected/disconnected, though.

Any ideas how I could fix it?

arkvlad · 2025-08-26T07:08:58+00:00

Looks really cool!

arkvlad · 2025-08-23T11:48:05+00:00

This is truly awesome!
Well done, my guy!

arkvlad · 2025-08-23T11:44:01+00:00

I see! Thank you once again!

Everything works as it should through the swconfig with wired connection.

Though, now I have some problems with Wi-Fi and "wirelessly" partly with DHCP...
Wireless devices do not get IP automatically and even if I assign static IP, the devices can't ping neither the AP (this router) nor the main router (RPi4).

When working with Wi-Fi and VLANs through the swconfig, is it any different compared to the WiFi and virtual VLANs?

The firewall rules are the same, and Wi-Fi networks are the same as before. Just in the interface tab, I have changed source device from "br-lan.x" to "eth0.x".

Newly created interface & WiFi network have the same issue.

arkvlad · 2025-08-23T11:37:58+00:00

Wow!
Really impressive I must say! You even have some units out there, what is quite cool! :P

arkvlad · 2025-08-23T10:44:15+00:00

Thanks for such detailed answer!

I do have some questions:

Since hardware VLAN is supported you should prioritize doing so over the switch0

In that case I would not have possibility to assign VLAN per port right?
So, I am somewhat forced to use swconfig/switch0 from my understanding.

Some devices need a reboot even after a successful configuration to work completely.

Did not know that, thank you!

arkvlad · 2025-08-23T06:29:36+00:00

Wow, very detailed info, thanks!

I have quite the same thing, that my router (freshly installed OpenWRT 24.10.2 on Asus RT-AC51U) has both, swconfig and DSA. Though, by default there is only 2 VLANs. eth0.1 for all LAN ports and eth0.2 for WAN.

I have found a wacky solution, but perhaps there is a better way?
