serpineslair , in Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl Double Click bug

So I just started playing this and I can’t say I’ve had this issue, however I only played for a few hours so far. I’m playing on Arch, no DE just i3wm, Nvidia, X11. Another thing I can think of is that I’m using the Zone Reclaimation Project mod, which is a fan-made mod which has a load of bug-fixes. I don’t believe it changes any gameplay, so it is good for a first-time playthrough. I have no idea if this will change anything, but I have been using it so far and haven’t had any problems, so maybe you could try it? Sorry I don’t have a definite solution for you.

haui_lemmy OP ,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely check out mods at some point. :)

How old is your mouse?

Cause sudden random double clicking on your main mouse button every time you click is the classic example of a mouse switch wearing out.

I had the same thing happen once, only one game was sensitive enough to pick up the double clicking consistently, which made me adamant that something just started going wrong with the game… and was resolved when I tested another mouse just to shut people up.

haui_lemmy OP ,

The mouse reliably double clicks in stalker every time and nowhere else. Its statistically unlikely that this has any other cause than the game, either through the game itself or steam stuff.

haui_lemmy OP ,

Ah! Okay. Then I‘ll try it. That would be the most brutal thing as I have used a cheapo logitech mouse for 10 yrs without issue and have this deathadder for maybe a year.

But how do you explain that i cant use rightclick anymore? Maybe I should also try unplugging it.

@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

Oh no.
Maybe mouse switch wear?

haui_lemmy OP ,

Maybe a year and its a deathadder v2 so I dont think thats the issue. nothing lese double clicks, just stalker

NoisyFlake , in Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl Double Click bug

There’s been an update on the reddit post:

I changed the compatability of Stalker to 8.0-5 and the double click issue is gone!

haui_lemmy OP ,

Thanks for the update! I had to change the proton version on cyberpunk as well to get it going. Some regression in steam I guess.

Have you tried changing display mode from windowed to full screen and vice versa, turning off vsync, if your running the game through steam then verifying game files may also work, if not through steam then downloading fresh a copy…

I had an awful time with computer issues last month, all guis using electron were unreadable, some kind of render issue, I did some trouble shooting and found one of the BIOS chips on my GPU had gone bad and basically spent the next few days trying to repair a GPU, the GPU wasn’t the issue just bad timing. On a whim I span up a live disc of arch installed similar packages of my main os and found the issue was gone. Wayland was currpt

Anyway if possible and above options dont resolve your issue maybe spinning up an a live os and running stalker could render different or same results.

It would be good to attach another mouse and see if there’s an issue with your mouse

Easily one of my favorite games ever. It’s such a good way to relax.

BananaTrifleViolin , in OpenTTD (open source remake of 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe' Game) Turns 20

Transport Tycoon itself is 30 this year (and Deluxe next year).

OpenTTD is a great project - it’s kept one of the great games from the 90s alive and kicking.

Siegfried , in OpenTTD (open source remake of 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe' Game) Turns 20

OpenTTD rocks

just_another_person , in OpenTTD (open source remake of 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe' Game) Turns 20

Still play it all the time. Timeless.

I never played TTD. Does OpenTTD have a tutorial? Couldn’t find out how to play last time I tried.

@noughtnaut@lemmy.world avatar

Tutorial: or everything into airports and long-distance routes, you’ll make more money than you can spend. 🤷 At least, that’s how it was when I stopped playing it.

Evil_incarnate ,

Play with the settings before you start, if I want a relaxed play around, I’ll set competitors to zero, breakdowns to never and stuff.

Then I’ll find a nice area with a few towns close by and connect them with roads. Then I put bus stops in the centre of the towns, the ones you put on a road. Between the towns, I put a depot and buy a bus. Then you have to tell the bus to go to each bus stop, and send it on its way.

Then I have a basic income, and I look for industry and resources to truck around. Later I play with trains and ships and airports and supply chains and stuff. But I keep the busses going.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

If you want early cash, the best way is to connect coal. It’s literally just an A-B train, and you rake in the cash. It’s much more lucrative per dollar spent, which let’s you focus on whatever else you want to do, like buses, planes, etc.

BananaTrifleViolin ,

This is a decent 25min tutorial video (youtube) for getting started with OpenTTD.

caustictrap , in VKD3D-Proton 2.12 Released With Initial Support For NVIDIA Reflex

How is the vrr (gsync) support on linux. On windows gsync ON + vsync ON + Reflex ON will give the least latency and smooth tear free gameplay and you don’t have to manually cap the fps for every game like you do on a amd card.

MentalEdge , (edited )
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I thought vsync+gsync still had latency drawbacks at max fps?

VRR works on Linux. Reflex has been available via latencyflex for a while now, but it’s a bit tricky to set up. Looks like an easier implementation is finally becoming a thing.

Gsync on Nvidia was a bit tricky, it can only be enabled on X11 and easily only if you’re just using one monitor. It’s possible to use it with multi-monitor on X11, but it requires extra config. Once it starts working with Wayland, it will hopefully just work.

On AMD and Wayland I just enable VRR in KDE display settings for my main monitor.

I use manghud to set an FPS cap, and since a recent update you can set it to “display and wait” instead of “wait and display” for even less latency when at monitor max FPS, which should be faster than using vsync.

warmaster OP , (edited )

Until you add Reflex.

Reflex has been available for a while now

The news here is that it’s now usable by Proton for non-Nvidia GPUs.

MentalEdge ,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Are you sure?

IIRC enabling reflex can actually increase latency in some setups, I’ll try to find the details.

Latencyflex didn’t work any other way except with proton. But installing it and getting it working was not simple. But that wasn’t Nvidias implementation yet.

warmaster OP ,

I haven’t tried it. But the way the article is written, sounds like inow t’s usable too for non-Nvidia GPUs.

    Obviously. But people want settings they can set and forget, which will work in all situations.

    MentalEdge , in Transistor - Epic Games version
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Remember that experimental is a constantly changing version. When you see users suggesting you set a game to use proton experimental, always check the date, because more likely than not, experimental no longer refers to the same experimental they used.

    I’ll test this out and get back to you on whether I can run it.

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    Good point, I haven’t thought of that little detail

    MentalEdge ,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I’m back.

    I installed the windows version from steam. The game does not run under proton 8.0-5, but does with the current versions of experimental and Proton-GE from the AUR.

    I did not need to set windows version to XP, or do any other kind of extra fiddling. So all you should need is to set the no DRM launch option in heroic to allow the Epic version to run.

    If you haven’t installed that Proton-GE package from the AUR, I suggest doing so. It’s been the only “custom” proton version I’ve needed for ages, it gets updated when a new version comes out and makes itself available for selection in both Steam and Heroic, so it’s a very set and forget way to use the GE versions of Proton.

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    Still the same. It tries to launch, I get a short blackscreen, and then it crashes again. I have sideloaded it into Heroic, and the log stops with these two lines:

    INFO: [Frontend]: Refreshing sideload Library

    WARNING: [Backend]: refresh not implemented on Sideload Library Manager

    If I download and install it directly from Epic again, and simply check the box for it to run offline, it works just fine. But that kinda defeats the point, I want to be able to sideload it without having to authenticate myself, which should be possible according to the entry at PCGamingWiki

    MentalEdge ,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Where are you adding the no DRM arg?

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    I put it into the field for launch options in Heroic first, to which it told me that it’s an environment variable I have to define in the appropriate table below, so I did that.

    MentalEdge ,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    It is most definitely not an environment variable. The game doesn’t see those.

    They are a Linux thing.

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    Doesn’t run either way, so there’s that.

    The Steam version doesn’t seem to need any launch option tweaks to be run directly from the executable, but then again, Steam also sells the native Linux version.

    One more info I found is that the game might crash on startup when it can’t load the correct audio device. But the file that is mentioned, where I’d have to manually select the device, doesn’t exist. So that’s another avenue to explore.

    I’m so confused though. I tried it on Windows too, added the launch option to avoid authentication, but it does not want to launch.

    MentalEdge ,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Only the epic version has that DRM D:

    miss_brainfarts OP , (edited )

    I guess PCGamingWiki lied to me :|

    Still though, when I download and install it „officially“, I can check the box to run it offline before ever starting it, and it runs just fine.

    I can also click download but then import my existing files instead, and it also runs.

    God dang it

    Rose ,

    The information was added to the wiki by an unregistered user, though most games on Epic at the time were DRM-free. This particular game being DRM-free on every other platform also makes the claim plausible.

    fogstormberry ,

    it would be helpful for experimental to still use numbers for this type of thing

    five82 , in Transistor - Epic Games version
    @five82@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t have an Nvidia card myself but have you tried the latest Wine-GE through Heroic?

    Worst case, you can pick up the native Linux version on Steam right now for 80% off.

    miss_brainfarts OP ,

    Latest Wine-GE seems to not even try to launch it. With Proton, I can at least see the Transistor.exe pop up in btop, so there’s that

    million OP , in Plasma 6: How to use HDR with games?
    @million@lemmy.world avatar

    To add to this, I was doing some testing since this is on my mind and I am also unable to get HDR working on Youtube under either Firefox or Chromium.

    This may be orthogonal to running games or it could be related.

    technohacker ,
    @technohacker@programming.dev avatar

    That might be more due to them not supporting HDR on Linux yet, but I’ll wait for someone else to confirm that
