In my experiemce The Hell 2 has a visual glitch in Linux during the opening menus where they are all black. Judging from your screenshot and report of hearing audio you might be seeing the same thing - but in that case you mighy already be to the point where the game is playable.
Despite the black screen try interacting with the buttons with the mouse? Does the screen redraw itself in the vicinity of the mouse as you move it? If so, try to navigate the menu to start a new game.
Lol! I managed to start the game, and it seems that everything works fine. However, the screen does not redraw itself, unfortunately. I was only able to start a new game by pressing the arrow keys and enter. But, of course, I can’t create a proper character like this…
I’ve had horrible luck with OpenRGB on Linux. On Windows it recognises my RAM, M/B, GPU with no issues, I can change colour, brightness, patterns etc. - but on Linux? Nothing, apart from some broken GPU recognition that only lets me change colour at almost 0 brightness.
Still, I’d love to see this improve as using the ASUS armour software on windows made me want to become Amish.
not sure about the problem, but I do know with my own fedora there is an issue with some audio encoding, once you fix your main issue and find the audio problem (affects voicelines and music) let me know and Ill try to find the solution again for you
I switched to using the steam flatpak for my games, and it fixed the “not starting” issue. And yes, the voice commands aren’t working. The music is working, but no voicelines.
It’s crazy how good this is, from a software engineering perspective I have no idea how they pulled this off. Morrowind is such a complex game, not sure how they reverse engineered it.
Yes. I believe that they actually have some of that available on the beta branch right now. Putnam has also been adding support for gpu offloading as well.
The reason is most likely TF2 not playing nicely with wayland. I have nvidia and I needed to add this command “SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%” To be able to run it. If You can check if game runs on x11
I really want to get this to work! I tried to install The Hell 2 myself in Lutris and I see a result similar to yours: I can hear music and see a blank screen and a crash follows soon after. Different Wine versions & settings seem to make little/no difference.
I closed Lutris and reran from the terminal with lutris &. From there I could see that when I run The Hell 2 I was getting the following error:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘libgamemodeauto.so.0’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored
Internet searching for that error lead me to people with similar issues: unable to start games with this error appearing in the background. I found multiple pages which suggested that the reason for the error is that the game requires a 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0, and that doesn’t come preinstalled on some distros. There are instructions explaining how to uninstall/reinstall to get the 32-bit version. I’ve followed those instructions and when I run The Hell 2 I no longer get the libgamemodeauto.so.0 error but I still see the blank screen + music followed by a crash.
I’ll keep thinking about this. In the meantime you can check whether you have the 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0 by running ls /usr/lib/*/libgamemodeauto.so.0. If you see an entry mentioning i386 then you’ve got them - otherwise not.
I’ve heard good things about OpenRGB and I think my keyboard even supports it, but it’s one of those “I’ll figure it out when I have time” projects.
What really excites me is integration with RGB systems outside of the PC, i.e. room lighting etc. Mostly it just seems to be controlled effects so far, but having a standard for environmental lighting could be (no pun intended) a game-changer.
Imagine playing a horror game where the crackle of surround-sound lighting is accompanied by a real flash from elsewhere in the room. Where when the game lights go out and the red emergency lights come on, so does the room. Etc etc. Yeah it’s not going to be for everyone or every situation but if we can get better standardization of supported devices and software integration, it’d still be pretty neat.
Are you using Wayland? If so, you need to launch Steam as steam -pipewire, and then select your display. Note that your screensaver will be inhibited while Steam is open with this option.
That being said, I would recommend going for a Sunshine/Moonlight setup if you can rather than using Steam remote play. I get much better performance with Sunshine and Moonlight.
