Willdrick , 10 months ago in Mini Royale will have playtest today at 6:00 PM CET, they also offer native port

I recognize the level of the cover, is this an asset flip from the same guys that made mean greens?

You might have just had bad timing - the release notes for Proton 8.0-4 mention

Fixed EA Desktop having a blank log-in window after its recent update.

It's currently a test release so should be out shortly, but if you want to use it immediately there's some info on enabling it early at https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/proton-80-4-is-now-in-testing-with-a-release-candidate/

Maybe give some of the DXVK launch options a shot.

JackGreenEarth , 10 months ago in Steam won't run The Sims 4 [Linux Mint]

Maybe you could run a virtual Windows machine on Linux if Steam Proton doesn’t work?

BlackXanthus , 10 months ago in Steam won't run The Sims 4 [Linux Mint]

You may want to look into Lutris. They’ve done a lot of work on bringing windows games to Linux, and basically do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

It will also link to your Steam, EA, Origen, Cog etc accounts and do the same for games there as well.

lordgoose OP , 10 months ago

I’ve been trying to stick with Steam because Steam has been such a pleasant experience for me (besides some issues with NVIDIA but that’s not Steam’s fault) but I might have to take a look at Lutris if none of the other fixes work. Thanks for the recommendation, though!

American_Jesus , 10 months ago in Help finding Nvidia drivers

On what distro?

Latest official driver for that GPU is nvidia-340, which is unsupported by majority of distros.

Some distros like Archlinux based or Manjaro you can install it from AUR, other may have some unofficial repository.

Don’t use the installer .run if don’t know what you doing, it can probably break on kernel update, only on last case.

renesman OP , 10 months ago

Well in terms of distro in reality is what is going to work best. Preferably debian or fedora

Shit, I’ll download this tonight

luthis , 10 months ago in Steam Games Made With Unity

Is there a way I can see which of these I own, so I know which to play before they go bye bye?

mossy_capivara OP , 10 months ago

I think you can use steamdb,but I’m not sure steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Unity/

stephenc , 10 months ago

I see how to not show owned games, but not how to show only games you own. How is this not a filter? Come on, steamdb.

just_another_person , 10 months ago in Best Steam sandbox games? (Linux)

Icarus if you want an FPS Terraria for side scroller OpenTTD for retro top-down Cities Skylines (sequel out next month) for city sim

entropicdrift , 10 months ago in Best Steam sandbox games? (Linux)

If you want a no-combat platformer/puzzler, Sable is a good time with beautiful art.

If you want a hardcore RPG sandbox, try Kenshi.

joseandres42 , 10 months ago in Does anybody else have an issue with the 8bitdo controllers? I need help.

Try to mark the devices as trusted in blueman and see if it helps.

jarredpickles87 OP , 10 months ago

Already did that to no avail. It seems like no matter what I do, this is what I’m doomed to. I’ll have to check out the BIOS/firmware for the controllers like the other person suggested.

Molecular0079 , 10 months ago in Can't connect PS5 Dual Sense via Bluetooth - Fedora 38 KDE

Are you trying to pair the controller while you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones already actively connected? The reason why I ask is because I’ve ran into issues with the AX200 when attempting to use both at the same time. Either the Dualsense would stop working or it would kick my headphones into the lower bandwidth HSP mode. I ended up having to use a separate USB bluetooth dongle just to get the two to play together nicely.

WereCat OP , 10 months ago

No. Nothing else was connected to BT. I just checked if it works with headphones after to make sure the BT is actually working.

just_another_person , 10 months ago in Can't connect PS5 Dual Sense via Bluetooth - Fedora 38 KDE

I’m going to say this again, as I have for so many other people having issues with F38:

FEDORA 38 IS TERRIBLE FOR GAMING

Switch to a different distro that is much better suited for gaming. Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, SteamOS, Manjaro…just not F38. There are so many complaints, it’s time to just ditch it.

Dremor , 10 months ago

As a Fedora 38 user, I have no problem gaming on it. What problems are you talking about?

WereCat OP , 10 months ago

This is literally the only issue I have. All games run fine for me without issues. I only borrowed the controller to try it so that I know if I should buy it or not. So far I don’t really like it much over my Steam Controller. I just wanted to play over Bluetooth and it does not work, cable works fine but it’s just too short so I have to sit next to my case and look at a monitor from an angle. It’s not a BT issue as well since othr BT devices like my SONY WH-1000XM3 headphones work just fine.

Eeyore_Syndrome , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) in Can't connect PS5 Dual Sense via Bluetooth - Fedora 38 KDE

For what it’s worth, same issue happens to me on Kinoite as well. On an AMD board. With AMD 6E/Bluetooth.

My wi-fi works fine and my Bluetooth works fine for audio/headphones so I hadn’t realized it was an issue until I got a new dualsense on sale a few weeks back and have been playing corded this entire time 😅

WereCat OP , 10 months ago

I’m also on AM4 platform

Digging New World and Albion Online at the moment. All those others are great, too. ESO can get tricky to install addons is my only comment there.
