how do i use ntsync? i'm on kernel 6.10

>>493344506
I think it's not in mainline 6.10? Or at least not enabled by default, can be wrong tho. You need patched Wine (like TKG) and enable it in kernel. Honestly if your games work with fsync, don't bother, it won't give you noticeable difference.

>>493344506
You need wine patched with ntsync and ntsync dkms modules

>>493344506
You need to build kernel with ntsync patch, cachyos one have it if you want or use ntsync as dkms. Also need udev rule or another solution to make is accessible for your user. Finally, you need a wine with ntsync patch, easiest is with wine-tkg, note that no one made ntsync patch for valve fork of wine, have to build with codeweaver wine as base.

What usb bluetooth dongle do you guys use? I want to be sure to get one that works with my Xbox controller on Linux

>>493390664
Don't know they are mostly all the same, just get one that support LE.
Also, don't forget to apply that fix to not have high latency when using it: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#high-latency-or-lost-button-events-with-bluetooth-le

>>493390664
I think they all pretty much work. I had a random one from the store before and it worked. And this year I got this one: https://noerdic.se/products/nordic-long-range-bluetooth-5-3 which works better for long distance. It came with a cd with drivers for windows and on the box it said that linux is not supported but I just plugged it into my computer with arch linux and it worked without having to do anything.

One response when a gaming benchmark has Linux with higher fps is that on Linux there are missing effects, textures or shaders or something like that. I have never seen actual proof of it except maybe obviously broken/unplayable games.
It wouldn't be impossible, but is this actually happening in any games?

>>493390664
i use a intel ax210 card or mediatek 7921 card. the mediatek ones can be found in usb wifi adapters while intel is only m2 form factor iirc.

>>493406114
That's just a FUD. DXVK is so good that Intel is using at as their primary DX9-11 backend.

>>493406114
Fearmongering. It's really easy to test, too, and benchmarks videos that show side-by-side still show every single effect, shader and so on.
Even on Nvidia, you won't see texture cache misses in the game proper, only on DE and applications.

>>493390664

I was thinking that my gameplay was stuttery, yet recording was fine, but turned out that my actual gameplay was fine, and it was recording with stutters. But for some reason recording felt smoother.

>>493406114
there are some cases when it happens, but its cope to use it as an argument when you can see a side-by-side benchmark and they look exactly the same.

Is bedrock minecraft possible on Linux?

>>493429843
So does this mean Steam Deck is gimped in gaming mode with tearing enabled?

Why is this general always dying?

>>493470442
i think honestly the novelty has kind of worn off since its pretty established that most games run on linux besides anti cheat, nvidia drivers are mostly there besides framegen, otherwise at this point its just another os, im sure linux threads on /g/ offer alot more variety in what to talk about. as far as gaming goes, unless something crazy comes about, its just "what game are you playing?" which is kind of a good problem to have but doesnt make for a very bustling thread

>>493448945
>>493450285
yeah i use mcpelauncher, it just launches the google play version, all the dlc is on it is compatible too (only for when my kid comes over and wants to play minecraft, i have it on his account)

>>493470442
Because there's a Linux bait thread on /v/ right now.
Also because >>493472280, somewhat. I half-agree with that post. It's not entirely wrong to say that modern Linux gaming is practically just PC gaming at this point, plus the occasional Windows fanboy butthurt, and minus some Linux-blocking games that anyone who switched to Linux obviously doesn't really want to play in the first place. I would argue that there's still plenty to distinguish Linux gaming in particular (for better and for worse) — but there's not so much to discuss for those of us who are accustomed to Linux's differences and no longer need help figuring out how to do things. Maybe the thread would be more active if people who are new to Linux knew it existed, not that I want it to be a tech support thread.

Oh well. Falling back on Windows troubleshooting strategies isn't the worst thing that could happen. I'm just surprised that it worked.

>>493476146
Before I went to work today, Steam just wouldn't open on Arch even after a reboot. Gonna see if it works after a reboot or a full upgrade.

try forcing steam to redownload itself. that happens on windows too.

>>493462408
I doubt it is because it probably doesn't even use atomic modesetting since it was supporting tearing even before kernel features were introduced.

Would DX11 titles actually work on GPUs with no DX11 support (like Radeon HD 4000 series or GeForce 200) via WineD3D? It would be basically running as OpenGL with some performance lost, no?

>>493501941
I'd guess that if your GPU doesn't support DX11, it won't support the required level of openGL features too. Quick google tells me that modern Wine uses openGL 4.3.
Also wined3d opengl backend is slow AF compared to vulkan one or DXVK.
That said, better try it for yourself.

ok lads, rec me some casual/relaxing games (paid or free, doesn't matter I can pirate) that I can play for short bursts, save and do whatever I was doing earlier but I can also play for a long period if I have the time.

I mostly play roguelikes (Angband, DCSS) but they really do require concentration. Basically give me mindless but entertaining recs if those exist. (Low spec preferred)

>>493508893
From the top of my head, QUESTER and QUESTER | OSAKA, fast and mindless party-based dungeon crawlers that don't expect much from your machine, but need at least DX12 support.

Elona+ doesn't have permadeath on default settings, it's closer to ADOM tho.

Islanders is Linux native and very chill.

There's a Proton build with old DXVK for older hardware
https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-For-Old-Vulkan

>>493518313
That repo is for older Vulkan-capable GPUs. Anon used HD 4xxx as example, which came out before DX11 was a thing. It only supports openGL 3.3 and no Vulkan.

>>493476146
this has happened to me on windows too, sometimes steam is just quirky like that ig

I like this game but this achievement is broken and it's annoying me. I got past level 40 on my Steam Deck and the achievement for collecting 40 daisies didn't unlock. (Getting the daisy in each level is required.) So I played through the first 40 levels in one sitting on my PC just now, which was fun, but the achievement still didn't unlock, even after closing the game and opening it again.
I assume the game itself is bugged because I've never heard of Proton causing one specific achievement to stop working.

Oh, never mind. It unlocked after beating the 41st level.
... I'm pretty sure the one titled Level 40 was in fact the 40th level, but maybe it was just trolling me. Most of the levels aren't named that way.

Why does the scrolling in this game look like absolute shit? Is it meant for some weird frame rate?

>>493570517
See, cli programmers often suffer from the UX version of "tone deafness"

>>493570840
I think it might be intended for 50 Hz, like Frogatto is. (However, unlike Frogatto, it doesn't actually cap itself at 50 fps.) Do Eurobros still have 50 Hz screens like they did back in the CRT days?
I set my monitor to 50 Hz — a mode which, for some reason, is available only when it's also set to a non-aspect-ratio-preserving 1920x1080 resolution — and it looked "better", or at least more consistent. When I play it at 60 Hz, the scrolling background jitters several times per second... perhaps 6 times per second, if I'm right about 50 Hz being the intended refresh rate, but I'm too lazy to record a video or something to confirm that.

All this time I was feeling that my gaming monitor isn't really responsive, turns out I had to enable "Game" mode on it. I thought these are only managing colors, but these modes are also managing response time.

(Dying just sends you to the start of the current room, and dying too much just means you don't get a meaningless 100% rating.)

>>493406114
Linux is faster because windows is often mismanaged garbage.
See: recent case where for years they were slapping security mitigations on CPUs that didn’t need them, resulting in very noticeable performance penalties.
This is a real story that happened recently and you can look it up if you want.
