Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.11. Initial OpenGL support in the Wayland driver. Support for elevating process privileges. More HID pointer improvements. Various bug fixes.
Interesting, consider my curiosity to be piqued. I’ll try to see which titles see the largest improvements using GE builds. I probably have one or two in that ever growing library I’ll never get close to finish…
you don’t need it if proton is working fine for the games you play. GE’s builds have patches for games that are not yet/will not be upstreamed to proton.
Certain games need proprietary codecs that will not be included in upstream proton because of licensing. GE is a community project and is therefore not subject to the licensing.
Though it’s worth noting these games are still playable without GE, as long as you’re using Steam. Valve will re-encode the proprietary media to another codec, download that as compatdata, and replace when the game calls for the original files.
If you’re not using Steam then yes, or if the game using the proprietary codec isn’t that popular and was recently launched.
Yeah, with the limited time I have left after the two kids, the wife and the job, I admittedly play a very limited selection of games and not for very long nowadays, and those Just Work™ so far. But I also own more games than I’ll ever finish so I’ll probably hit something eventually lol
But seriously, Sunshine is a bit of a pain to setup and it’s historically been a bit more buggy on Linux hosts. Hopefully it continues to improve and the rough edges get ironed out. Although personally I just went the long HDMI + USB cable route, and I’m happy with that.
I undervolted my RX 6700XT using Corectrl. While the tool is good overall, it makes no sense for Gamescope-SteamOS-like setup with Bazzite, so I did something absolutely disgusting and run it in the background using xvfb. Now looks like I can replace it with something far more suited to my needs. Can’t wait to test it
Is this able to maintain its profiles between reboots? I use amd-clocks as its low profile set and forget unlike corectrl which would need to launch its ui each boot and ask for polkit auth
Yes, it maintains its config across reboots, it uses a systemd daemon that handles the backend. On most distros it should just work automatically, but if not you can edit the config.yaml file to set up your permissions there.
It’s great software. I’ll have to try editing the permissions because on Tumbleweed it only works when run as root. It complains that the service isn’t running as a user.
Also, I noticed that series 7000 gpus have serious problems under the most recent stable kerne when using an egpu setup. LACT shows that they cannot draw enough wattage, so they never get up to speed. Older gpus work fine.
