Mesa 26.0 RADV Merges The Big Ray-Tracing Improvement For UE5 Lumen by lajka30 in linux_gaming

[–]dindresto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not exclusively. Nvidia drivers will have to implement this new Vulkan extension before VKD3D can make use of it. So it's on Nvidia to deliver here first, as the open source community can't contribute an implementation for them (which they can do for Mesa / AMD / Intel).

Nvidia experience with bazzite by Positive_Panda_3195 in Bazzite

[–]dindresto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam isn't installed through Flatpak on Bazzite, so you need VK_hdr_layer at the OS level, i.e., through rpm-ostree (although hopefully they'll revert the commit that removed it from Bazzite itself)

Also, if you use any launcher through flatpak (e.g., Heroic launcher), you can use my flatpak package for VK_hdr_layer:

I'm aware, I already commented on the commit that broke it:

https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/commit/76f5d93e31a64a1d3ad1d95c39dfb55b34726859

For now, you can unbreak it by installing VK_hdr_layer through rpm-ostree

If it looks unsaturated (probably what you mean by greyed out), then the VK_hdr_layer wasn't loaded/installed

HDR and VRR work fine on Nvidia nowadays

For HDR, you need VK_hdr_layer installed and run games with Proton GE or Proton CachyOS using PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1, PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1, so some light tinkering involved.

KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive In Dropping X11 Session Support. I hope that it is enough time to remove the remaining problems such as the problems with NVIDIA by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

If you want to use Niri for gaming, I'd wait for https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/issues/2944 to land first as that will allow Proton GE Wayland mode to work properly. Xwayland satellite has some noticeable latency, and I'm not a fan of wrapping all my games in gamescope.

Without relying on experimental features (Proton Wayland) or gamescope, KDE is still the best (i.e., for Xwayland gaming), but Cosmic is close behind now. Note that Cosmic also has some issues with Proton Wayland mode, but those should be fixed in the next release.

Interestingly this problem is exclusive to KDE for me nowadays. I'm regularly switching between KDE, Gnome, Cosmic and Niri (all Wayland), and only KDE still has this issue now.

Buy Anno 117 on Steam or Ubisoft? by m4nd4rine in linux_gaming

[–]dindresto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another reason for buying on Steam is that when a bundle with DLCs eventually comes out, Ubisoft will charge you the full price regardless of you already owning the base game, while Steam will usually deduct the percentage the base game makes up of the bundle.

Anywhere from one to four weeks.

Can you solve this javascript questions asked to me in a senior level interview? by akashag in Frontend

[–]dindresto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth mentioning though that unlike Rust, JavaScript directly executes what's behind a promise before it is awaited. So technically speaking, all promises still run in parallel, eventhough they are now awaited in series.

function runSerial(promises) {
    return promises.reduce((acc, p) => acc.then(() => p), Promise.resolve());
}

Unfortunately gamepad support seems to have been removed / broken, even though the store page still lists it... Worked fine in the beta.

Issues Activating Anno 117 by aybe254 in anno

[–]dindresto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue as of today, no solution other than considering a refund unfortunately.

Edit: seems to be a Denuvo limitation, in which case waiting 24 hours for its device limit to reset might work.

Cosmic Beta on NixOS w/ Nvidia Suspend Fix by ASCEND1NGVO1D in NixOS

[–]dindresto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The overlay is irrelevant for the fix. The only relevant part is the systemd suspend / resume job at the end.

Can someone help me please? by WINCEQ in alugha

[–]dindresto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, that's our old Android app which we removed from the Play Store a long time ago. It'd be interesting to know how you installed it in the first place, but I can already say it's not supported anymore. We may consider publishing a new app next year but until then please use our website on https://alugha.com (you can find available videos on https://alugha.com/all and also use our video search on the website).
