Varyag , in For anyone wanting to play G.A.M.M.A. on linux

Oh shit thanks, I was literally thinking about options for that earlier today. I’ve been playing a lot of Gamma lately, and I’ve been thinking about how to transition my gaming PC to Linux. I have SO MUCH old and esoteric shit installed that I’d have to figure out.

MonkderVierte , in Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck?

Weren’t there a kill command to pause any app and another to wake it up?

I just tried it on Nobara. Just… application launcher (The start menu icon)->sleep. Waited, and then woke the machine back up and when the machine came back up, the game was still running. No idea if all games will play nice with that, but Satisfactory did.

Strayce , in Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck?

I’m running Bazzite on LeGo and it does this. No idea what until or settings it uses to achieve it tho.

Never had problems with that on laptops, except when I enabled nVidia graphics. So stay away from that.

It’s been a long while since I’ve tried it on a desktop, never felt the need. I don’t even remember if I was on Linux or Windows last time I tried it on a desktop.

So, I guess in general it should work. It’s just a simple suspend to RAM. Should be supported by every distribution out of the box.

cron OP ,

Thanks for the hint on nVidia. That might explain my issue

I don’t know exactly how they do it - but I believe it’s related to gamescope. I’m pretty sure it just dumps the ram and enters sleep mode.

Systemctl hibernate/suspend not work?

I haven’t tried it out, but this is a thing: github.com/Merrit/nyrna

flashgnash ,

Shame it doesn’t support wayland

ouch ,

How does it work?

The Steam Deck doesn’t fully shut down, it’s just regular sleep mode.

MrSoup , (edited ) in MSI laptop fan control

With my MSI motherboard I use coolero which is now named CoolerControl and removed it from flathub because they changed implementation.

@macgyver@federation.red avatar

You want fancontrol

Try installing lm-sensors via your distros package manager then running sensors. Can just google how to setup fancontrol as well

CoreCtrl might also work.

OhVenus_Baby ,

CoreCtrl is mid TBH. Not much granular control. Doesn’t auto adjust so you have to apply every startup.

Ashiette OP ,

Fancontrol and lm-sensors don’t work because they can’t find my fans…

mactan , in GE-Proton9-14 Released

that libcuda one is real silly, cuda reserves a specific vram range for itself and eventually games will be wanting to allocate more and will overlap it like this

spooky_mango , in [SOLVED] Patching old games with the 4GB patch on Linux - doesn't seem to work

Have you tried running the game without the patch?

What version of wine/proton are you using? I believe newer versions of proton do what that 4GB do by default. I think it can also be forced in proton using PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 but it should be on by default.

promitheas OP ,
@promitheas@programming.dev avatar

I have steamtinkerlaunch setup to use proton-9.0-2e. How can I force it so that I can test it out?

Edit: Just saw in the steamtinkerlaunch options for proton there is a check box for “Force large address aware” and it is enabled. Weird why it still crashes though

scrubbles ,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Yes for dragon age origins on Windows I had to run the patch. On Linux under wine I didn’t have to

promitheas OP ,
@promitheas@programming.dev avatar

I tried swapping the files so that the sh3.exe.Backup (original file) was the one being run and the patched version was renamed to something else and it still does the same thing. Could it be something else causing the crash? How can I track it down?

scrubbles ,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

What does protondb say? Any help there?

promitheas OP ,
@promitheas@programming.dev avatar

Yeap, I ended up looking there and there were hints to use certain proton versions buried in the reports. Will update my OP now with the solution. Thanks!

kbal , in Proton 9.0-3 released
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

Added a warning that appears in Proton Log for systems that have low file descriptor limit

I'm glad to see that. There are reasons why debian didn't choose to increase their default limit beyond 256, but some games require it and if you happen to find one it can be tricky to figure out what went wrong.

ouch ,

Where can I read more about the Debian decision?

kbal ,
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/06/msg00041.html

I was wrong, it's 1024 not 256. It's a soft limit, so easy to adjust once you're aware that you need to.

ouch ,

Thanks.

Please note that the soft limit still is 1024, as that’s what legacy syscalls like select() can handle.

I guess anything using select() would break with a higher limit?

eager_eagle , in GTA Online now has BattlEye Anti-Cheat and is no more playable(for now?)
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

“oh no, anyway…”

GTA online was fun from 2015 until a couple years later before flying bikes and sky races. R* kept pushing updates that appeal to teenagers and absolutely ruined it.
