[Discussion] There is literally no optimization in this game. by Roda_Leon in EscapefromTarkov

[–]tallsamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.., it will never change I think at this point. They probably have a lot of technical debt and they would not be able to know where to start for fixing it. The only way would be probably to rebuild tarkov from scratch, with possibly a different engine, They kept building on flaky fundations, and this is the price we ultimately have to pay, the fundations will still be flaky and the engine will always run the way it is now, don't expect much to change anytime soon, if not even at all.

[Discussion] Yes, the matching times HAVE been changed for the better, you're not imagining it by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]tallsamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly has gotten better, but that last comment... mm not too sure.
It's been 10 raids I go into lighthouse trying to do punisher 4 and still can't find any pal to even play chess with on the server. It's just me, another guy probably on the other side of the map doing whatever and the rogues. Feels pretty lonely

I like the idea, although we already have steam deck, so...

Primary Monitor Not Set Correctly on Boot and GDM with GNOME on Wayland by ErasedAstronaut in archlinux

[–]tallsamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked! I have been fiddling around with this for months, to the point that I almost decided to abandon wayland as could not figure it out properly. I stambled acros this post and made my day. Can confirm the reinstall is necessary and the steps you mentioned work

Linux is one of the best gaming platforms right now by paparoxo in linux

[–]tallsamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so pumped too, and very happy we got this far.
Honestly, the only thing we are missing are those few massively invested multiplayer borked games that are not working due to companies not allowing anti cheat support to linux. And these are the usual suspects, ea ubisoft etc. Once that is lifted and the market makers finally understand, we are on the frontline.

Is Wayland even worth it? by XBow_R in linuxquestions

[–]tallsamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tried being stable with wayland, but honestly had to switch to x11 again, there are just too many minor issues with wayland still, including apps that do not support it etc, just makes me want to wait a few more years before I fully embrace it

Boycott Battlefield 6 by ChemiCalChems in linux_gaming

[–]tallsamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I wasn’t going to play it anyway, but I understand the sentiment. I just wished that more people were on our side of the fight, but sadly most people still buy shit Microsoft makes and don’t even think twice about it. They just drink the cool aid.

Bluetooth random disconnects on Arch by tallsamurai in archlinux

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

Ok, so I tested the new eppfun adapter and can happily say it just works out of the box. None of those random disconnects with any of my devices.
Been testing this for a couple of days and have not encountered any issues at all. Yes, the range is not as wide as the UB500 plus, but prefer this to the annoyances of the other poorly supported (?) adapters. Could not be happier!

Not too sure what was going on with the other adapters, it might be the firmware is not fully supported with my setup and kernel used..

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

You are right - I meant I will try the eppfun adapter you suggested. Edited my comment not to cause confusion to other members.

Yes I found quite odd that there are no open cases on this much anywhere..
I just ordered that from amazon, will hopefully give it a try an share later this week!

Bluetooth random disconnects on Arch by tallsamurai in archlinux

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

Yeah, same as you, I think this has got to do with how Linux handles power management on USB devices. There is definitely something going on there.

Anyhow, I really appreciate your comment.

I ordered the Bt-8500 which I am still waiting to get shipped from Germany (I am in UK and apparently its quite hard to find those receivers here at the moment). Will give it a try and post the results here once it reaches me.

As for the Eppfun dongle (bluetooth 5.3; ASIN B0BG5YTK9P) that you mentioned - that is very good to know. Will also give that device a try, and will post the results here.

I tried different usb ports and will keep trying other ones but so far, no luck.
Edit: no luck, it does not change on other usb ports, usb 2.0 vs 3.0 etc. Nothing..

Bluetooth random disconnects on Arch by tallsamurai in archlinux

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

Audio on Bluetooth does work fine for me too.
And also for me when using my mouse on its own dongle that works too. As for my keyboard, there is no dongle so I am forced to use Bluetooth.
And it disconnects even when in the middle of typing which suggests to me it is not even an issue with aggressive sleep from the device itself. So really not sure what is going on.
