jjjalljs , in Diablo 4 is coming to Steam on October 17th

Nah. Diablo 3 kind of sucked. I’m pretty sure blizzard has more abuse internally than we’ve heard of. They don’t get my money.

(I say this, but it was free or like $2 I might crack. We’ll see.)

sebinspace ,

I feel like buy it for $2 would be better than taking it for free. Had a horrible waiter once, and we decided that tipping then $0.02 was more of a fuck you than not tipping them at all

Try using the latest GE version of Wine/Proton. Fixes most audio/video playback issues for me

molochthagod OP ,

Yeah, every time I tried, I used the latest GE version. Tried regular Wine and Proton too, and the result is always the same, I dunno what’s the deal with it.

gecked , in Don't visit kohlchan.net/int

Dude stop, nobody gives a fuck. Nobody’s visiting it.

simple , in FEX-Emu: Sonic Mania showcase

Awesome stuff. I hope we see some more viable ARM laptops next year.

newthrowaway20 , in FEX-Emu: Sonic Mania showcase

TIL about FEX-Emu. This looks absolutely incredible! x86 emulation on Arm64 with this level of performance so early on seems like an absolute game changer.

quantumantics , in Will these headphones work when connecting over a 2.4ghz dongle?

I have the Nova Pro Wireless, not the 7’s, but they have the 2.4GHz dongle as well and I’ve had no trouble getting them to work in Linux. The Steelseries GG software I have not had luck getting to work through wine.

KuudereEnthusiast , in FEX-Emu: Sonic Mania showcase

Can anyone tell me why literally every time a new emulator drops, sonic mania is one of the first games that runs on it?

Is it easy to emulate?

vividspecter ,

Is it easy to emulate?

Yes, it uses a simple 2D engine that was originally used for enhanced ports of the original genesis/mega-drive games.

Dave , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

It’s the first I’ve heard of this game. Is it fun?

Nachorella ,

it’s a pretty fun little city builder type game, except you’re terraforming. it’s very pretty but some of the mechanics can get a bit tedious.

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Thanks! I’ll put it on my wishlist and give it a go sometime.

falsem ,

I was kind of disappointed by the demo because it seemed more puzzle-like than simulationy.

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Demo? I can’t find a demo

falsem ,

This was during Steam Nextfest in like 2022, so it's probably gone.

DarkThoughts ,

That's the impression I got from the early videos too, which is why I didn't got any interest in the game.

Quazatron , in Fwupd 1.9.6 Brings Linux Firmware Updating For AMD Graphics Cards
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

Nice. This is why I only buy AMD gear. Support those who support you, people!

Hawke , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux

Pretty sure it’s been available for Linux for a long time. I played it on Linux back when it was a prototype on itch.io

c10l , in Fwupd 1.9.6 Brings Linux Firmware Updating For AMD Graphics Cards

Can someone ELI5 what that means for me as an AMD GPU Linux user?

Is this in any way related to the firmware files that I get with the kernel which get direct-loaded on boot when the amdgpu module is loaded?

Still ,
@Still@programming.dev avatar

fwupd is an easy way for firmware updates to be distributed and applied, this is for flashing the chips on the card not drivers loaded in the kernel

I use fwupd to update the bios on my Dell laptop for example

Franzia , in Fwupd 1.9.6 Brings Linux Firmware Updating For AMD Graphics Cards

Seriously what does any of this lingo even mean?

wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fwupd

Sounds like FW Updater here is adding support for NAVI 3x which is the 5nm / RDNA 3 chips, AKA Ryzen RX 7000 series (for example RX 7600). Does this mean you can now update the firmware for the chip? Does it mean FWUpd will automatically handle firmware updates for you?

Bonus challenge if you wanna talk to me about what some of the linux firmware lingo means.

NegativeInf ,

It’s exciting that with Fwupd 1.9.6+ it’s now possible to update AMD discrete graphics card firmware under Linux rather than having to resort to Windows or other environments. This new Fwupd plug-in works with Navi 3x on recent versions of the Linux kernel where the AMDGPU driver has the necessary interfaces to make the firmware updating happen. Specifically this firmware updating is focused on flashing the graphics card’s Integrated Firmware Image (IFWI).

Quoted from the article.

Franzia ,

So you could not update the firmware on Navi 3x before this update arrived to Fwupd? Err you could update the card outside of Linux by booting up windows?

NegativeInf ,

You could do it in Windows before. With this update, now you can do it in Linux.

Franzia ,

Okay got it. Thank you! I just started using desktop linux, I’m on Nobara so I have some expectation that things will be handled for me and I’m not always sure about when I need to tweak things. The extent of my troubleshooting so far is using ProtonDB.

vividspecter ,

I’ll add that firmware updates for GPUs are pretty uncommon (my current card has had zero in the 3 years since it was launched). And an AMD driver dev confirmed as much, that it is just there in case it’s needed.

And fwupd is a standard way to update firmware etc on a variety of hardware that doesn’t require DOS boot drives or using Windows, more commonly used on laptops and some servers and prebuilt clients. Which is obviously quite nice from a Linux user’s perspective.

Chewy7324 ,

Adding to other comments, fwupd is integrated into Gnome Software and probably other software centers. There’s also a systemd servivce or fwupd can be run from the terminal.

So as far as I know it’s not necessarily run automatically on all distros.

onelikeandidie , in PresentOptionAsyncMayTear is merged on Mesa. What needs to be done for us to have the ability to disable Wayland's vsync?

I mean, reading the comments it seems like it can be disabled through environment variables. For vulkan at least.

proton_lynx OP ,

I couldn’t find any information about usage in the comments. How did you find?

onelikeandidie ,

this comment implies there’s is an environment variable to toggle vsync.

sleepmode , in Terra Nil is now available on Linux

Could have done without the reclaiming stuff. It feels tacked-on and awkward. But it’s still fun.

Lotsen , in can't run wine games on lutris (linux mint)
@Lotsen@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

As far as I know genshin impact doesn’t work under wine becouse of its root kit of anticheat. Qemu with gpu passthrough is probebly your best bet
