i’m not sure if its my bias towards linux that thinks it should be added or the bias against linux that has it not added, but showing the % of games that are playable on linux and windows without showing linux and windows native games seems like an incomplete dataset
In addition to what others are saying, there is a lemmy for people that moved from r/blind: rblind.comIt has a small number of active users, but perhaps you might get some help there. You could perhaps ask in their main community, !main.
As an r/blind mod and RBlind.com adminI am, in fact, aware of it. Hehehe.
Seriously though, the blind community Linux desktop install base is small and virtually nonexistent for gaming, and I have very simple accessibility requirements, so I figured I’d get better feedback here.
It’s great to know there’s some awareness of the instance around the broader Fediverse!
It is! Heads up on a known bug tho, which will already be fixed in the next release. GOG games can show up as “not installable” for seemingly no reason preventing them from being installed.
Which window manager/desktop environment are you using? If you are using a desktop environment is there an application called startup applications or something of the like? I personally use my window manager’s config file to startup applications. EDIT: changed WM to window manager and DE to desktop environment.
A window manager would be similar to your Desktop Environment - better explanation.
Since you mentioned that you’re using KDE, there’s an option in system settings called “Autostart”. You can then add Steam to the list of applications (or terminal commands) that start automatically.
That’s a pretty confusing changelog item considering async reproduction has been straight-up broken since SteamVR 2.0. That being said, I’m thrilled that Valve seems to finally be fixing some of the long-standing issues on Linux. They also recently fixed an annoying issue with the right eye mask being uninitialized, and 2.5 along with seemingly this release has fixed issues with SteamVR Home.
I think it’s more like small bugs in the kernel portion will be fixed faster. There are a lot of small patches needed to build the dkms module against the kernel as mainline and stable evolve - they’re often carried in various distro packages until upstream (Nvidia) picks them up for a future release. The open driver should speed that cycle along.
I suggest avoiding the Vulkan build. It has been crashy in most BG3 releases, including the current one, I think.
For the dx11 build, you might get more help if you post your kernel and amdgpu firmware versions, GPU model, and screen shots showing the bad textures.
It’s also worth browsing the Proton comments to see if anyone else has encountered the same problems.
I will rather skip the Vulkan version then, thank you. I will update the post with version information but how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?
how do I learn the amdgpu firmware versions please?
I don’t know Fedora, but I expect there’s a dnf command that would tell you what package owns the files in /lib/firmware/amdgpu . The version of that package would probably correspond to the upstream firmware version.
First one has a dot next to it, which means it’s the active version. Copy the value after “BaseCommit:” (in my case it is 2f8263a33190c4e1320233aebbdc8f337b0a6abcba371d4870ae43fba33aea62)
Run rpm-ostree db list <paste commit hash here> | grep amd. Example output (my command was rpm-ostree db list 2f8263a33190c4e1320233aebbdc8f337b0a6abcba371d4870ae43fba33aea62 | grep amd):
In my case, running the most recent update on Fedora Atomic KDE, it looks like I’m running version 20240410-1 of amd-gpu-firmware. Yours may vary depending on what update you’re on.
Good list. Covering many different categories. Have found every game I thought of. I like that the roguelikes listed are the actual, “classic” roguelikes. What I don’t like: inclusion of the games that cost money to play (via in-game purchases). These should be at least marked as such, pretending they are free is not OK.
Back when I created this list, I had the mindset that if I did include a game with the a Free to Play monetary model, it would only be eligible if it was absolutely not Pay to Win, and if it was possible to have a lot of fun without and be on a fully equal playing field spending a dime.
Looking over the list again, I think you’re right in that a couple titles (runescape, eledivin, and argueably EVE online) really don’t meet that criteria.
However, I think others such as CS:GO, TF2, and War Thunder still deserve a spot on the list, as you’re still experiencing the full game with no disadvantage without spending anything.
But I will remove those titles and put Free To Play in the description of the others.
Sorry to be that guy lol… But what does this mean in English? Does it help me as someone with an NVIDIA card on Plasma 6 who sometimes has to jump back into an X11 session to get some software to behave, or I completely misunderstood?
Oh holy shit that is music to my ears! Thanks for the translation, I really don’t understand much about these graphics issues (only enough to understand it was potentially vaguely related to this problem)
So basically, we already have implicit sync which kinda works with Nvidia’s proprietary drivers, but the drivers also heavily rely on explicit sync in different cases and that’s why some of the graphical glitches occur such as steam flicking. This adds that missing puzzle peace. That’s about the gist of it.
Honestly I’d still use XP if more programs supported it. As i said to another user here, it was Windows at its peak. It created the basic layout and feature set that modern Windows still uses, but lacks all the bloat and ads.
Same. A friendly poster recommended Mint and I’m loving it! The fact that it automatically walks you through the dual boot set up was exactly what I wanted.
