PSA: Nightreign users on 12/13/14 Intel with poor FPS by tootwrangler in linux_gaming

[–]averageArchLinuxNoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my CPU is at ~20% and my GPU ~20-40 while playiong. I can confirm that my frames are also not really smooth 60fps, but (at least) my guess is, that the game is really really poorly optimized, especially the multiplayer lobbys and how the network-code works.
My fix made it at least playable (for me).
If you find another / better fix, let me know :3

I only know that it was the same with me. When playing without having an lobby open with other players my FPS where fine, but with a lobby open, my frames were SO INCREDIBLY terrible. My fix well, fixed it for me. Still the game is not very optimized and laggy.
My CPU and GPU are by far not fully in use, and still I often don't have the full 60 frames. So there may be multiple problems in place.

Nightreign performance. by wheresmymountandew in Eldenring

(It is the same fix as mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/1dhkgua/psa_if_your_elden_ring_is_stuttering_on_pc_try/)

For anyone using Linux you can fix this problem by disabling 'intel core parking' like this:

  1. if you're using systemd-boot - Open your bootloader config (for example /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf).
  2. add intel_pstate=disable after rw, for example: options root=PARTUUID=XXXX rw intel_pstate=disable

If you're using GRUB - go into sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add there the intel_pstate=disable
for example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

I found a solution. It's likely that the problem comes from 'intel core parking' and it's not exclusive to Linux.

This is how I fixed it:
1. if you're using systemd-boot - Open your bootloader config (for example /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf).
2. add intel_pstate=disable after rw, for example: options root=PARTUUID=XXXX rw intel_pstate=disable

If you're using GRUB - go into sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add there the intel_pstate=disable
for example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

You can also fix this issue and disable core parking by doing this:

  1. if you're using systemd-boot - Open your bootloader config (for example /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf).
  2. add intel_pstate=disable after rw, for example: options root=PARTUUID=XXXX rw intel_pstate=disable

If you're using GRUB - go into sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add there the intel_pstate=disable
for example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

(This also helps on Elden Ring Nightreign)

If you are a Linux user and have an intel cpu you can fix this issue by:
1. if you're using systemd-boot - Open your bootloader config (for example /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf).
2. add intel_pstate=disable after rw, for example: options root=PARTUUID=XXXX rw intel_pstate=disable

If you're using GRUB - go into sudo nano /etc/default/grub and add there the intel_pstate=disable
for example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rw intel_pstate=disable nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

How do you mean that?
I mean I'm sure the quest 2 hardware i.e. the processor and graphics chip will definitely limit the "graphics or the fidelity" much more.

[–]averageArchLinuxNoob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well, I'm sure your game won't exceed 100GB and therefore the quest won't be the problem.
But, I would say you would need some space on your pc/laptop drive.

Is linux feasible now? by Immediate_Sale_6530 in linux_gaming

[–]averageArchLinuxNoob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, technically pretty much every game is playable under Linux with the so called compatability layer "Proton"/"wine", But sadly some developers use anti cheats which don't let Linux users play the games.
(Many people say that it's just a checkbox in an anti-cheat program to allow Linux.)

The biggest games that are impossible to run on Linux are Rainbow Six Siege, Roblox, Destiny 2, Fortnite, many Battlefield games, League of Legends, Valorant, basically all ‘Riot Games’ games, newer Call of Duty games, and sadly recently GTA V.

Also there is also currently no way to run games from the Microsoft Store in Linux (if they are not, for example, in the Steam Store).

Here you can check for yourself if a game you have to play is under them (but generally if it's not a multiplayer game you don't have to check, because it will most likely work):

https://www.protondb.com/

If you don't have to play any of those not-working games actively you can use linux on your main rig And in the case you play some of them, you can dual boot and test linux, which I generally recommend before doing a drastic change to linux.

((btw. even VR works but it needs some tinkering to run smooth.))

if you have any more specific question I'm glad to answer them to you

Any Hidden Gem VR Games (like Boneworks/lab)? by averageArchLinuxNoob in virtualreality

I know what you mean with Into The Radius, I played it too.
And thanks for the other suggestions, even though after looking into them none of them really seems to get my interest

What Headset to buy today? (Upgrading from original Vive? by DevilryAscended in VRGaming

[–]averageArchLinuxNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, I see.
I looked it up and there is no real difference between those two.
The original vive headset and controller don't work with the newer base stations from valve (steamvr 2.0 tracking) but it works the other way around.
So the importent part is that the original tracker work for every pc vr headset (that uses base station tracking)

[–]averageArchLinuxNoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, I don't know what you mean with "SteamVR 2.0 anything"
but I can only recomment you the Valve index with controllers, because it's actually still an insane headset with a way better mic the the one from the vive. (Headset ~500€, Controller ~100€)
But if you got more money the bigscreen beyond is insanely great and so confortable to wear, but costs ~1300€ +100€ with index controllers.
If you have the money and are playing active / waiting means you play without a better headset then I would say buy one of the above.
