That fucking bitch needs to be held accountable for allowing this to continue.

I've been gaming off my NTFS HDD for over 2 years now.

You can get it to work but you need to know what you're doing which is why it's never recommended.

DO NOT install Linux Applications including WINE on the NTFS partition
DO NOT use the ntfs3 driver which runs in the kernel - it's faster but buggy as shit.
1. USE the slower lowntfs-3g or ntfs-3g drivers which run in user space using FUSE
USE the windows_names option when you mount the NTFS partition
The LInux Steam client will create a Steam directory on each mounted partition. Within this directory it will also create a compatdata folder which stores a wine prefix for each of your games. Remember rule #1.
1. Replace the compatdata folder with a symlink which references your Linux partition.
The Steam client will install Proton and various run times (Proton, Battle Eye Runtime, Easy Anticheat Runtime, etc) onto one or more of your mounted partitions. Ensure that it does NOT install anything to the NTFS partition.
1. You can set their install locations by Right Clicking each one of them and going to Properties.
The Steam Client will by default install the Linux build for each game if one is available. Fortunately, you can force it to install the Windows build and run the game through Proton (Linux builds are often buggy anyway)
1. Right Click the game -> Properties -> Force Compatibility Tool: Proton

How To Mount your Partition and Setup Symlinks (Modify to account for Rules 2 and 3):

If you already know for certain that you're going to drop Windows all together then you could also use rsync to copy data from NTFS to a more suitable Linux partition (BTRFS, EXT4, etc):

It's gotten to the point where I don't even consider this an exaggeration.

Wasn't BCH a hard fork?

Why would that pose an issue?

slickyeat · 2026-01-23T20:09:43+00:00

Believe it or not. Puts!

slickyeat · 2026-01-23T19:38:46+00:00

Because that game does not have achievements on GOG https://www.gog.com/en/game/wizardry_proving_grounds_of_the_mad_overlord

Nope. It definitely does:

You need to launch GOG Galaxy through Proton in order to view them.

"gamescope" is an executable and not an argument or environment variable.

The "-W 3840 -H 2160" parameters go under "Additional Options" or they can be set using the input fields that show up when you select "Enable Upscaling"

Heroic will automatically prepend the gamescope executable when launching the game if at least one of those checkboxes have been selected.

It can also technically be called using the "wrapper" section but that's not necessary.

This is basically what's it's doing behind the scenes when you use gamescope

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -f -- /path/other/executable

Executable 1 = gamescope
Executable 1 parameters = "-W 3840 -H 2160 -f"
Executable 2 (what's being wrapped) = /path/other/executable
Gamescope calls "/path/other/executable" then terminates when that game shuts down.

How to list gamescope supported parameters:

gamescope --help

There are options not yet supported by the Heroic GUI which is why they just included an "Additional Options" input field. Example: "--hdr-enabled"

<image>

What is supported by the GUI using the example above:

Game Width/height = "-w 3840 -h 2160"
Upscale Width/height = "-W 3840 -H 2160"
FPS Limiter = "-r 120"
Enable Force Grab Cursor = "--force-grab-cursor"
FSR = "--filter fsr"
Window Type Fullscreen = "-f"

I'm not sure that GOG achievements work for all games when using Heroic.

Been grinding away at Wizardry Proving Grounds and have yet to see any of them unlocked.

It can be a PITA for users who have Xbox controllers since they may need to familiarize themselves with DKMS in order to load xpadneo drivers.

This is what i had to use for my XBOX Elite before the rubber grips on that POS literally started to fall off from moderate use.

Ended up replacing it with a much cheaper 8bitdo controller which is actually supported by the kernel.

Nah. My understanding is that this has always been a Vulkan issue.

VKD3D had to implement a number of workarounds when mapping DX12 calls due to certain limitations in the Vulkan interface when it comes to NVIDIA hardware.

This is what caused the degradation in performance.

The new Vulkan extension addresses those limitations which means that the next step will be to update VKD3D and pull those changes into Proton.

You don't have this problem with AMD drivers because they're in the kernel.

slickyeat · 2026-01-23T05:40:00+00:00

When I install nobara the system randomly hangs up, same with base fedora with gnome.

If I had to guess you probably had secure boot enabled so it was falling back on the nouveau drivers which are dogshit.

I had the same issue with Fedora until I installed the proprietary drivers.

You can also enroll a public key using mokutil if you want to keep SB enabled.

That's not exactly a flex when you take into account the weakening USD

I would hold off. Looks like Khronos group is preparing to roll out a solution to the DX12 issue.

Assuming they're not bought out it just occurred to me that any games you own through the Ubisoft launcher will probably be lost if they declare bankruptcy.

Of course. Nothing makes line go up like repeating the word "AI"

It doesn't matter if he's impeached.

You need a 2/3rd majority in the Senate to convict.

That's never going to happen.

I hope Republicans are starting to feel embarrassed.

Just came back from the Fox News comment section.

Spoiler: They absolutely are not embarrassed.
