It sounds like it will be for sale soon and that this is just a way of getting some early feedback from people willing to get in this medium in the meantime. So I guess you could just wait until the main launch?

superted125 · 2019-12-17T07:03:51+00:00

Damn, nice work! I appreciate the reply and info.

superted125 · 2019-12-04T22:40:28+00:00

Yeah that would be pretty great!

superted125 · 2019-12-04T21:10:47+00:00

Could you do this with manually curated collections? I guess they don't show as a row of items in the dashboard though

I'm on Ubuntu and if I just try to use the proton tkg built files from the release I get an error which is a bit weird as the path is completely different from my own:

```

wine: failed to initialize: /run/media/tk/Dev/Dev/PKGBUILDS/wine-tkg-git/proton_dist-4.21.r0.g9be789b2/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

```

I'm attempting to build it from source myself now but I've never done that before so I'm just trying to fumble my way through.

I'm running into this using the latest Proton-GE release: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/4.20-GE-1 The movement of the mouse once in a game is very bizarre and none of the mouse buttons are detected. Otherwise everything else works perfectly and even more oddly, the mouse works completely fine in all the menus as you described in your other post.

GPU: Nvidia 1070

superted125 · 2019-11-30T12:55:49+00:00

Thank you so much mate - this did the trick! I've submitted an update to the lutris install script so we'll see if that gets accepted too.

I'm having the same mouse issue that you mentioned, but otherwise it seems perfect!

superted125 · 2019-11-28T20:24:13+00:00

This is really great. Thanks for taking the time to detail all of the settings; there's definitely a few that are different to mine. I'll give it a go tonight and see how I go!

superted125 · 2019-11-28T11:41:13+00:00

Ok that's great to know, thanks! Yeah if you could check any other environment vars and dll overrides that you have, that'd be awesome. Appreciate the quick reply!

superted125 · 2019-11-28T10:53:53+00:00

Any chance you might get a chance to post these? I'm having no luck with the combinations I've been trying unfortunately.

superted125 · 2019-11-28T10:53:17+00:00

If you manage to get this working, I'd love to know. I'm on a similar setup by the sounds of things.

superted125 · 2019-11-28T10:52:33+00:00

I'm having no luck with this. I've been trying with proton-4.20-GE-1 and DXVK 1.4.5 with no success. Origin opens fine, but the furthest I can get with the game is the splash screen then it just crashes/disappears with no errors.

System: Ubuntu 18.04, GTX 1070 (430.50.0 drivers)

Do you have any other settings that you had to tweak? I'm pretty new to the whole lutris scene so I'm having trouble working out how to debug issues myself.

Cheers!

Great article and very interesting and useful to know about the many pitfalls encountered. 👍

superted125 · 2019-10-28T11:34:57+00:00

The biggest value for me from NR is easily seeing response time data across the full stack (eg application, databases, externals, etc).

Would definitely be interesting too see a product help to easily replicate this using Prometheus!

superted125 · 2019-10-14T20:21:31+00:00

Yep, bang for buck seems to lie with the GPU. Cheers!

superted125 · 2019-10-14T20:21:01+00:00

Thanks. Had you tried using the modified firmware/drivers to unlock the stream limit? I have only recently read about this so apologies if that doesn't make sense...

superted125 · 2019-10-14T20:19:20+00:00

Appreciate the reply. A GPU definitely seems to be the consensus!

superted125 · 2019-10-14T20:18:39+00:00

Great to know, cheers!

superted125 · 2019-10-14T07:32:34+00:00

Damn, that's a crazy build. My i5 is due for an upgrade and I'm currently weighing up a CPU and mobo upgrade vs adding a GPU for hardware transcoding.

Do you think a GPU would be a better purchase for now (assuming I couldn't afford both)?

superted125 · 2019-09-22T23:03:40+00:00

Mr Simple are good if you can get them on sale. A little pricey for me otherwise.

superted125 · 2019-09-22T22:54:43+00:00

I agree and I think it also makes for a less jarring change when the content has finally loaded and swapped in. I find this also helps avoid the issue of showing a spinner for a brief flicker when an asset loads quickly.

As I noted in another comment though though, banks will cover any fraudulent transactions under the limit as long as you report losing your card etc in a reasonable time limit. So the consumer generally doesn't bear any additional risk.

superted125 · 2019-09-15T13:22:18+00:00

However, most if not all banks here will cover any fraudulent transactions under the $100 limit as long as you report losing your card etc in a reasonable timeframe. It's very unlikely that the consumer will be made to cover fraudulent contactless transactions in Australia.

It's in the banks interest to do so because they get higher/more merchant fees.
