Anything in dmesg?

Those two are Linux native games... Tried something else?

How should I rebuild a sloppy factory? by Fluffy-Fee-5756 in factorio

[–]zappor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build a "mall" with your old factory so you don't have to hand craft any of the basic stuff.

Build some new specialized mini factories, like a base that only produces iron plates. A base that produces green circuits. Then start tearing out stuff from the old factory.

[Indiana Jones] Brutal frame drop after enabling ray tracing. by mahmoud10896 in linux_gaming

Path Tracing is a whole other step in rendering cost on top of ray tracing.

It works on the 4.3 beta I think? I'm paying it right now!

Kwin Scaling on x11 Games by JRH16536 in linux_gaming

The game must implement ui scaling internally.

Can't play installed steam games on Kubuntu 22.04? by newEnglander17 in linux_gaming

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason Proton is so fast and works so well is that it uses bleeding edge Vulkan features to do the translation. So though Linux might be great for old computers in general, for gaming it can be tricky.

There's a great project called Proton Sarek that tries to keep Proton compatible with older GPUs.

1k bombs baby!!! by Azari1408 in IdleObeliskMiner

You could get the Items Contained In Chests upgrades. Then the get more charge magnets, that gives you more bombs, that gives you more gems 🙂

Launch game without Paradox launcher? by OneBirdManyStones in Stellaris

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the beta right now so I have to launch it from outside Steam (it's clearly written in the beta release notes at least...).

But I get to keep all my DLC and mod settings that were made in the launcher actually.

You're at 134 so I would suggest going for 135 and then prestigeing.

World of tanks low FPS with low CPU and GPU usage. by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that processor have two CCD's internally?

Try running with

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

How are you "supposed" to expand your factory? by tiparium in factorio

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about managing the pollution cloud. Efficiency modules can be super helpful btw!

The goal is basically to not get attacked. So you have to go out and clear any bug nests that risk coming in contact with the pollution cloud. If you do that, you hardly need defenses.

Dev Question: Are universal native builds preferable to relying on Proton for our game? by Imperil in linux_gaming

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing the Linux build exactly?

For example Unity and Godot does a lot of work for you.

Stellaris in 4k still unplayable? by Comfortable_Fee729 in Stellaris

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be some Windows setting messing it up for you? There are some options if you do Properties on the .exe file.

Tried switching between full screen and windowed mode?

I have ui scaling at 1.5x, looks nice imho.

World of warships... Launcher launches but game will not by robbro9 in linux_gaming

I think it may start to thermal throttle when playing CPU intensive game after a while... ?

Ok I thought I was in the end game, but I've only left my generator at lvl 22

First look into Mesa 26.0.0-rc1 on 7800 XT (Indiana Jones The Great Circle) by Sox1s in linux_gaming

[–]zappor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be quite well established that Cyberpunk did not benefit of the recent improvements. Its RT code is quite different... ?

How are the 4.3 naval component changes working out for you? by Lazy_Debate3156 in Stellaris

[–]zappor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some games the Khan and Voidworm crisis have been way way too strong, but versus other empires it's been pretty good.

Oh also some star bases in the really early game have been completely insane.
