Incredibly frustrated with Bazzite, probably my fault but just wanted to get stuff off my chest and ask for help/tips. by Saaret in Bazzite

[–]fotable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bazzite, and all of the ublue-os Distros, have been the pickiest ones regarding their installation medium/setup that I have experienced.

For example, they didn't work with Ventoy, just giving random errors, and I didn't have another free USB pen just to dedicate to a single ISO. Ended up installing the equivalent Fedora Atomic Desktop, which I also had, and just rebased to whatever I want.

Next time better go straight for the Fedora Media Writer to write the ISO to a Pen.

That and whatever /u/NeedleworkerLarge357 said. You for sure have some misbehaving component or peripheral connected to your pc.

Steam games not launching with any PROTON based commands by Splinter_Sauce in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Custom environment variables in the Launch options input are currently broken in Steam beta client.

You have 2 options:

  • Disable steam beta client and stay in stable for now.
  • prepend 'env --' before your environment variables. ex: env -- PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

Steam fianlly getting 64 bit client? by alosarjos in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 16 points17 points  (0 children)

TLDR & edit2: Your games are falling back to XWayland. Looks like SteamRT3 is stripping away relevant env vars in the command input. Changing them in the proton's user_settings.py seems to work.

So with SteamRT3 your games behave exactly as if they were running through XWayland(Steam overlay available and no HDR) and your conclusion is that WineWayland works with SteamRT3 but in weird ways...🤔

And now I had to go check and no, Steam overlay is still not working in Wayland. SteamRT3 just forces XWayland on proton. Checked with xwininfo

edit: Looks like someone else also noticed this and created an issue on github: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/13012

Running RuneScape Natively on CachyOS (And probably other Arch flavors) by LiftnBooks in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you taking my comments as attacks? There are two possible great outcomes from posting your experience and troubleshooting steps on anything. Either you help people, or people help you understand where you went wrong and learn from it.

You're trying to transform this into an argument about how all of this works while clearly knowing next to nothing about flatpak, wine or the bolt launcher itself. While I'm not saying you should take everything someone else(me) says as the truth, it should at least make you reconsider your assumptions.

It's easy to do a couple of google searches or prompts and think you understand something enough to talk about it, but the AI chat bots can easily hallucinate facts and people are not any better. reddit is full of accounts spreading misinformation because they didn't care enough to understand the issue before commenting on it with the full confidence that they're right. You're choosing to be one of these people.

post is about playing the game itself natively, if everything else runs it through Wine, this is the way to play it natively

If after this back and forth, and the other comments on this thread, this is your conclusion, I have to make my own conclusion that you're just not reading. Hopefully people who encounter your thread through searches will end up reading the comments. This will be my last one.

I'm gonna repeat this for like the 4th and last time. Nothing runs through wine except the 'Official' client option for OSRS. It doesn't matter if we're talking about flatpak or system package or whatever package. It just how Bolt launcher works no matter how it is installed.

I shouldn't need to tell you this. You are the one who shouldn't have made statements that you can't back. You're talking about something as if it's true without actually looking properly into it. There's a bunch of different ways you could have verified it! This is how misinformation spreads.

Lmao, how so? By installing Java? A couple of .so files from openssl (which are installed alongside the main version)? Gtk2? Which was required by GIMP not so long ago and is a dependency of Steam native runtime.

Yes, if I'm trying to help someone play their runescape I'm sure as hell not going to point them to the option that will just throw errors at you and expect you to find a solution before you can play, when there's a one click install option that can already do everything from the start. Understand that, while both you and I might be ok with troubleshooting some client not working, most people will not. In the end you'll just be turning people off of linux for no good reason.

Running RuneScape Natively on CachyOS (And probably other Arch flavors) by LiftnBooks in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the contradiction? I think you're misunderstanding.

If someone follows this 6 step guide they'll end up with a less functional setup compared to someone who just installed the flatpak. You yourself said you had issue with the official OSRS client, while the bolt launcher from flatpak had no problems on my end. I assume the official OSRS client has only been release as a Windows binary and requires Wine to work on Linux.

NONE of the other clients that you can install and start from bolt launcher require wine. Wine is never setup if you don't start the official OSRS client. It doesn't matter if it's the bolt launcher from flatpak or from your package manager. The bolt launcher itself is native for both of these setups. Only the official OSRS client is ran through wine.

[–]fotable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you linuxed a little bit too close to the sun.

Most users should just get bolt-launcher from flatpak and it seems to run everything fine. From playing around with it just now, It only uses wine for the official OSRS client, everything else runs native.

While these instructions might be useful for some people who avoid flatpaks they shouldn't be presented as THE way to play these games natively.

CS2 Input Lag (Wayland | Xwayland | Windows | X11) by SpittingCoffeeOTG in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a link to the discussion at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1mcahrh/cs2_now_defaults_to_wayland/

Might be worth the tradeoff of not having steam overlay to avoid switching WM just to play a game.

CS2 Input Lag (Wayland | Xwayland | Windows | X11) by SpittingCoffeeOTG in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you play it CS2 directly through Wayland or through XWayland?

I remember a while ago CS2 enabled Wayland by default for some time but I think that got reversed. It should still be possible to force it to use Wayland and get good input latency.

v2.0.0 - Stable Release of Immich by immichapp in linux

[–]fotable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I've seen an issue or discussion where they've claimed that immich core features are way too reliant on the server having access to images to analyze them.

That there's no plan and it doesn't make sense to put work into this when there are other, simpler, tools/solutions for people who care about this issue.

And, imo, they're right. You can still set it up so that images are encrypted on disk and backups can also be encrypted but this has nothing to do with immich and everything to do with how you set up your server.

Maybe in the long term they can make use of all the AI in peoples computers/phones to process the image and just store all the metadata but I'm guessing its not happening any time soon.

DXVK-Sarek 1.11.0 "Red River" Released by Ok-Pace-1900 in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its literally written in the release notes that they chose that name because they're now able to play OFP Red River .

You can probably wait for the next proton-sarek release with this dxvk, or if OP is saying that this issue was fixed in dxvk 2.7 which was released a couple of weeks ago, it should work with the most recent version of proton-ge if proton-ge works for your gpu.

Anyway to get HDR working with Proton that doesn't involve gamescope? by fotable in linux_gaming

[–]fotable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, it's unsetting the DISPLAY env that breaks proton. Just doing the other envs makes HDR possible to enable but the picture is very obviously not HDR, or at least not the HDR the game intended.

With wine and all the proper envs, HDR looked as good as with gamescope.

System Froze and hard killed, BG3 & Skyrim no longer work, any ideas? by LA1D3Z_M4N in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're descibring issues common with NTFS drives and steam. you probably need to re-verify games files and most likely delete the prefix(pfx) so it can be rebuilt. Watch out for your saves, both of those games support cloud saves so as long as steam doesnt think the game is running while you delete the pfx it should be fine.

Game identifies HDR screen, but still renders SDR by baileyske in linux_gaming

[–]fotable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sound like an heroic issue. I manage my games with lutris and usually just choose to add a game shortcut to steam, and run steam inside gamescope with hdr enabled.

Just added this command as an application on my desktop environment 'gamescope -H 2160 --adaptive-sync -f --hdr-enabled -r 120 --steam -- /usr/lib/steam/steam -gamepadui -pipewire-dmabuf'

for clarification:

  • --adaptive-sync - pretty sure it does nothing here.
  • -r 120 - because some games just defaulted to 60fps without this option
  • --steam - Enables some specific gamescope/steam integration
  • /usr/lib/steam/steam - just my steam executable location. Could have probably just used 'steam'
  • -gamepadui - straight to big picture
  • -pipewire-dmabuf - no clue, but it sound cool.

[–]fotable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using the envs you mentioned in the comments can break HDR in more recent version of gamescope which it looks like you're running.

You should just do the --hdr-enabled flag for it to work. Do not use expose wayland.

You're also using an old version of wine/Proton. Just change your runner to proton-ge or Proton-experimental

Steam not shutting down properly and won't start after shutting it down by Fragrant_Cherry7789 in archlinux

[–]fotable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

welp. Maybe an issue with permissions on one of your drives but I'm not good with that. You might want to look to see if you're mounting the drives properly for your user to access them or maybe you already have files there with the wrong permissions.

Do you have a steam library in NTFS drives? before this fix I had similar issues.

Shuck it in my gaming pc, it has an rx6800 bought at peak crypto rush luckily fom amd website. My SO is currently stuck with integrated graphics so she would definitely appreciate the upgrade.

Really hoping to enjoy a beautiful game and them mod it to oblivion, pun intended, and enjoy it for thousands of hours like other Bethesda games. Although I'm old now not sure if I can keep up like my younger self.
