I understand the issues with Manjaro. But I am super excited with handhelds making a major come back. I think the next couple of years we are going to see major breakthroughs. Battery life is currently a big issue but this should be solved with more RND.
I currently play on Switch but I am getting very tempted to cross over to another device. But I will wait to see what Nintendo does next before I decide. A buddy of mine has the Asus ROG Ally which is also pretty impressive on its own.
Weird, I was just checking Lemmy randomly and crossed this. I don’t have an answer, but I stream EverQuest and know many players use Linux. If any community can help you, it would be the P99 forums or the Project Quarm discord tech support. Between the two communities, you have a couple thousand players with decades of experience. Might even be worth checking out The Al Kabor Project’s discord as well.
I doubt you’ll find these two niches intersect anywhere else.
Edit: I did successfully get it running on my Steam Deck, which uses Proton, so I know that might be a path worth pursuing. Find one of those guides and see what you can get to work.
P99 runs perfectly with “out of the box wine” for a decade on my debian, however, I suspect OP may be trying to run EQLive which has a whole lot of more content and different binaries - maybe that is not comparable.
@OP: Did you check out winehq.org and try to set up your EQ installation aligned with one of the “Gold” or “Platinum” rated test entries there?
Yep. I got it. The guide got me most of the way. Some things that I’m guessing are related to DX11 are still broken (mostly textures), but at least the game runs reliably now. Thanks for all the help!
The only thing specific to Steam Deck in the guide is the Discover Store. This “app store” is actually a part of KDE, which is the desktop Steam Deck uses, when one switches to desktop mode.
The Discover Store is a way to install flatpaks, which are a universal application format that runs on all linux distributions.
On Febora flatpaks should be enabled by default. You might have to enable the flathub repository, which is the main hub for finding and installing applications.
Nice to see ULWGL pick up steam so quickly, figuring out the right version of Proton to run outside Steam has always been kinda weird and fiddly. Name really sucks ass though.
Apparently it is a real device and not fake or a scam like some were suggesting. It is currently being featured at Fosdem at the KDE booth even and it seems to be featuring the SteamOS interface but seemingly on a Manjaro based os.
I assume this means they have taken the HoloISO bits like the gamescope session and interface but rebased it on Manjaro but it could also just mean they forked and rebranded it as Manjaro (and possibly delay updates for two whole weeks in the name of stability).
It’s the first linux first handheld device next to the Steam Deck and even comes with two touchpads that look strikingly similar to the Deck ones but never would I have imagined it being featured by Manjaro. The specs look impressive though the design reminds me of the early Steam Deck prototypes Valve showed once that equally featured a glossy finish.
Let’s see whether it earns another entry on the list of Manjaro fuckups.
I remember running into this issue back in the day. I think it happens when a mod corrupts game filed and I could only fix it by doing a clean reinstall and avoid the mod that was causing it. Reading through the comments on the Steam guide there are others who ran into this issue and at least one of them got it working by doing a clean install and trying again.
