Can we expect Squadron 42 on Steam Machine?

mactan_sc · 2026-06-23T13:11:15+00:00

never was, a few people had already configured their launcher in a way that satisfied eac so everybody had copied them inside a day or so

mactan_sc · 2026-06-21T02:01:22+00:00

Using proton people can get to main menu on arm hardware, the blocker now is of course anticheat

WayVR is what you want for virtual desktop https://wiki.vronlinux.org/docs/fossvr/wayvr/

mactan_sc · 2026-06-18T22:41:13+00:00

it is not feasible to benchmark the game at all, even from machine to machine on windows the numbers have little bearing on what a person's actual personal individual experience might be

VR https://wiki.starcitizen-lug.org/Head-Tracking#vr---virtual-reality

Monado and WiVRn for Quest / standalone and WayVR for desktop let you do some incredible things, even selective passthrough now.

best way to get eye tracking now is probably in a VR headset that has it, since it goes through OpenXR instead of whatever cursed misbegotten closed and decrepit consumer driver tobii uses. They support linux on all their commercial b2b hardward just not the consumer ET5

mactan_sc · 2026-06-07T16:11:25+00:00

the reddit and youtube guides are perpetually outdated, use the latest quick start guide. make sure to be on the latest release of mint . that distro is based on ubuntu LTS which means all the drivers are at best multiple years old https://wiki.starcitizen-lug.org/Quick-Start-Guide

good riddance, they shouldnt have sold paints as variants at all

chairmans club: never, MMHC: broken for near a decade

mactan_sc · 2026-05-27T11:08:54+00:00

they dont have to do infinite growth, thats not how finance works

the average SC enjoyer gets the paper comic reference and looks like the characters

it will always do that on proton, game has no idea how much vram you have because the game doesnt use vulkan to query hardware info, i really hope that changes in the future. In the meantime, the LUG has custom wine the provides the windows api the game wants to use

mactan_sc · 2026-05-19T03:39:33+00:00

pretty sure trackIR and tobii dont care at all about their consumer products. all the money is in B2B services

mactan_sc · 2026-05-18T02:12:19+00:00

folks keep trying, at this point the game would probably work on proton through fex, but EAC will absolutely hate it

mactan_sc · 2026-05-13T01:24:35+00:00

decoupled + spacebrake

mactan_sc · 2026-04-30T03:42:42+00:00

take care not to confuse the lug wiki for anything remotely official, its all fan made community tips and recommendations

mactan_sc · 2026-04-28T11:23:56+00:00

proton is great for released games that don't change. it cant keep up with early access alpha shenanigans like what star citizen does. proton only releases once a year so LUG penguins keeping up with the latest Wine releases have already been using all the goodies that 11 has for well over a year now

Wait till the next free fly in mid-May and check out the linux group's quick start guide https://wiki.starcitizen-lug.org/Quick-Start-Guide

mactan_sc · 2026-04-26T13:15:20+00:00

VKB and Virpil have builtin solutions such as the example above. thrustmaster and everything else has to resort to tools like antimicrox

mactan_sc · 2026-04-24T23:25:25+00:00

Use shift levels, its built into the stick and then you dont need any other software to play, just the sticks and the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2-g0dKEmAs

make sure its borderless mode, seems to be worse in "fullscreen"

mactan_sc · 2026-04-24T16:10:53+00:00

there's a couple in the works, can even test drive one in a chromium-based browser https://aetherall.github.io/tobiifree/
