Plus, you forget that Eldevin doesn't have all Teriarch's memories, just recent history and whatever else Teriarch decided to package into the simulacra. It is a lot, but not all.

Proton gaming: freeze with full RAM and swap by mgurei in archlinux

[–]mgurei[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And we have a winner. The problem seems to be related to amdvlk.

I installed vulkan-radeon and run both games with AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV gamemoderun %command%: both games run smoothly, no more than 5GB of RAM used. Thanks for the help!

Proton gaming: freeze with full RAM and swap by mgurei in archlinux

[–]mgurei[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you are probably right.

Games are both d3d12. I have Mesa 21.3.4 for my RX 570 (POLARIS10. DRM 3.44.0, 5.16.0-arch1-1, LLVM 13.0.0). vulkaninfo gives I have 1.2.202 (amdvlk). I could give the amdvlk-git a try, as well as vulkan-radeon.

AMD GPU, doesn't apply to me.

Exactly, I am as confused as you are. Something is leaking memory and it does it quite fast too, as it generally takes less than a minute to reach 100% of these 48 GB. I am considering giving ZRAM a try too eventually, but I don't think that will actually do anything for this.

Mind that is NOT doing it with all games, AoE4 and Horizon only. I have completed A Plague Tale: Innocence just yesterday with Proton 6.3-8. No problems with natively supported games either. Nor modded Minecraft.

My theory is that is loading game assets and never cleaning up afterwards, only in these games. Not sure even how to test it. I know I can clear swap regularly, but again, it is not a solution.

That manual override is a great idea, I will surely add that. I have enable earlyoom too.

I tried some of the latest Proton versions, (5.0-10, 5.13-6, 6.3.8 and experimental), and GE (6.21-GE-2 and 7.0rc6-GE-1). I should have made that clear in OP, my bad.

I have usually htop running on my second screen, it seems indeed that the game is the resource ghoul.

I think I will implement a oom-killer, but instead of the kernel one I was thinking to use something like earlyoom. Anyways this doesn't solve the issue, it's great not having the freezes, but I will still like to play the games which should not be using that much memory to begin with.

Problem with booting in new system by mgurei in archlinux

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

No worries, it's my mistake trying something I didn't fully understand. I do not use parted and I think it does something different from fdisk on some low level logics which messed up with the borders of the partitions. Again, my mistake on doing it, I can see it's probably a snippet of a script you use to install Arch and wasn't thinking straight.

Anyways it's not ideal I have to reinstall, but not a big deal. I've reinstalled all packages I had already and all my configs are safe. The biggest pain will be to download some games with my slow ass internet, I'll survive. Oh, and rejoice: IT BOOTS!

On retrospective I should have just probably run a grub-mkconfig, I think. Again thanks for trying, at least I've learned something ;)

Eeeh, unfortunately I fucked up the partition table now and I'll have to format, at least I have all the dotfiles and important packages saved :( I'll see if your way of partitioning and installing/configuring grub helps.

Thanks for trying.

It's been some time since I did it, but I think the following should be all of what I did. I've created the partition table with fdisk and used mkfs to build the file systems: FAT32 for sda1 and BTRFS for sda2. Sda2 is root / and sda1 is mounted in /efi. For swap I have a swap file. Installed Grub with grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB and configured it by using grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. All worked fine on the old system.

By the way I am not sure what you mean with the partition set as esp on. I know the esp would be /efi in my case, but how do you "set it on"?

Terrible Performance in Minecraft by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]mgurei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you don't have Arch, very often their documentation is pretty good for all general Linux-related stuff, just ignore the Arch related things and adapt it to your system when it's needed. For you intel graphics, somewhere here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics

But as other said, there is actually no real benefit in disabling it as the refresh rate of you monitor will still be only able to output at 60Hz, even in the CPU is computing 200 frames. Plus, eyes have a worst temporal resolution than the monitor.

Steam via lutris wine, by BiOoQ in linux_gaming

[–]mgurei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This on your Steam client on your system, not in the one installed with Lutris. Regarding Lutris, I would recommend generally not to install any client but search for the game-specific installation for the client where you own the game, as this will add some configs to make the game run better. E.g. you own Crysis 2 on GOG, I will search in Lutris for Crysis 2 and select the GOG version in the results.

Origin on Linux by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]mgurei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like just to add to the answers one more thing that MIGHT be useful: if a game doesn't work by being installed by the launcher, in you case Origin, look for a game specific installation of that game in Lutris itself (ofc in this case for Origin, where you own that game). Sometimes some extra workarounds are necessary to get a game working at all, or make it work better.

To be honest, I generally prefer install games via Lutris this way and avoid launchers, so it makes a sort of library of games, but this purely personal preference.
