Finally found the options but what make it work was disabling them. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it run at a playable frame rate. Funny enough other games works flawlessly with my potato setup
Does it have to be a mini-PC like that? If you can put together a PC (or know someone who'll do it for free/cheap) you can get a significantly better midi-tower PC for less money.
Could cut that price down even more picking up some used parts locally, but thats quickly putting time into the equation, and money might be more well spent by Op getting something complete in a box vs time spent on all this.
It’s been a beautiful thing to see. IIRC Proton was announced and usable sometime in 2018. Things were still rough then but it was a good sign.
When DOOM Eternal dropped it didn’t work for a while and I’d refresh the GitHub issue page daily until one day it was fixed and has worked perfectly ever since.
Apex Legends was one of the only things keeping me dualbooting Windows, then February last year it comes out that Apex added Proton compatibility for EAC thanks to the work Valve did behind the scenes collaborating with anti-cheat developers, so I nuked my Windows partition and haven’t looked back.
We’ve had some crazy momentum over the past few years and it seems things keep improving a step up every few months. Not to mention projects like GloriousEggroll’s proton that has consistently been offering patches to fix certain games earlier than they’re released with Valve’s upstram Proton Expiremental.
Id periodically gone full-time Linux on and off over the past 6 or 7 years and it was always gaming that pulled me back. Now it’s been a good 4 years aside from dualbooting for Apex and with that out of the way I haven’t really had a need to touch Windows at all since. This is truly the best time so far to be gaming on Linux :D
Yeah, when I found out Titanfall+Northstar mod works flawlessly on Linux, it was a pretty good day (the Northstar devs even package the mod as a custom Proton runner just for us Linux users)
Oh yeah! Earlier this year i bought Titanfall 2 on sale and was so hyped to see how well Northstar worked with it. It’s one of my favorite multiplayer games now for just casually hopping in matches here and there. The movement mechanics are so damn satisfying
I have an XPS 13 with the i7 1165G7 and Xe graphics are fine for light stuff like Minecraft (even with shaders) or indie titles from the last 10 years. He won’t be able to push very high framerates or resolutions, but at 1080p with low/medium graphics, it should be workable.
Yea, he has a 1080P monitor and we use sodium; he gets entity lag at times and if he uses the Bobby mod to render a 64-chunk radius his client crashes, but I think he won’t notice. In general, it’ll be a huge improvement.
Oof, sorry to be the deliverer of bad news. In another thread someone suggested to reach out to the developers and ask them about the future of Linux. I couldnt really find any place to reach out though, so if you have already bought the game, you could check whether the credits might mention contact details. Having already bought the game is obviously a better foot to stand on as well, so that might help the argument.
I had a similar experience switching from my GTX 1070 to a 6700XT last year. Things had improved significantly over the years I used the 1070 but the experience has been overall much more seamless after switching
I was having similar problems on a fresh arch install with multiple apps taking upwards of 15 seconds to launch, and the “fix” ended up being to uninstall one or more of the “portal” packages (there are several with names like xdg-desktop-portal-gtk). gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/…/74 and bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285334 for more info.
Could be completely unrelated, but it might be worth a try.
What desktop environment or wm are you using? Are you using a login manager or launching your session from tty?
I’ve had similar issues in the past but in my case I had to configure things so that when I log in it sets environment variables correctly and have my sway config start up xdg-desktop-portal correctly.
I’ve also had situations where specifically xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was causing problems so id uninstall that while keeping the other xdg-desktop-portal-* packages, so it could be one of those causing it
There’s FSR2 which is similar to DLSS without frame gen They’re also developing FSR3 which will apparently give “up to a 2x increase” of frames by also using frame gen.
A pro of FSR is that it’s open source so it’s easier for developers to put it in their games themselves.
Some annoyances exist though, like trying to use hardware en(!)coding while retaining the mesa drivers for gaming. HW Enc. is only available with the proprietary amdgpu-pro drivers, which are no good for gaming. You can work around that by using distrobox to setup an arch container on any distro and then using the AUR to install the proprietary drivers and obs in that container. That way, the rest of the system still runs on mesa, but obs loads with hardware encoding support. You can then export obs using distrobox-export -app obs-studio to make it available on the rest of your system like any other app. On nvidia, you install the proprietary drivers anyway, so obs will let you encode on hardware right away.
Ahh thanks this looks promising. The only thing that I don’t get from that article is where they talk about the nvidia gui settings. I’m not seeing that. Is that the same as the nvidia xserver application?
So I found the issue in case anyone comes across this. I had to switch to x11 gnome instead of wayland on the login screen in fedora 38. After that Diablo runs like butter!
it was actually the nvidia drivers that was in the install, had to modify the boot so i can download and install the proprietary drivers. everything is running perfectly smooth now :) i was using a 16gb USB
Good to know you solved your issue. I remember in Nobara 36 I flashed it onto a 4gb stick and it was pretty full. Wasn’t sure if the subsequent releases increased in size or not. :p
