Are you gaming on linux /v/?

>>729628134
No, the game I used to play freezes now

>>729628134
I have been, but I've become fixated on figuring out i3 window manager so the games are on the back burner. Was playing CP2077 and Voices of the Void. Both never ever crashed.

>Old MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries work (even cutscenes)
>The pre patched one with widescreen doesn't
And no wrapper and directplay seems to change on this

Sure

Every single time. Usually on linux its a skill issue

what games?
>>
>>729628134
no, i value my time.

I really want to give Linux a shot but I have a rtx 50xx series gpu which has issues gaming on Linux from what I hear
Plus I do some game devvin/art stuff that probably wouldn't work out
>>
>>729629680
It does suck for dx12 games. Fuck you nvidia fix your fucking drivers.
Anything that can use dx11 runs fine/better than windows
>>
>>729629680
Consider selling your nvidia GPU. Sorry you made the wrong choice when buying a GPU but thats on you.

You shouldnt even support nvidia just on a moral basis.

Favorite Native Linux game?
Been playing a lot of XCOM2 this month, it just sucks that I have to use the windows version to use mods since the fucking mod launcher devs refuse to make a linux version.

>>729628134
Yep.

>>729628594
game?
>>
>>729628134
I don't play on anything else.
Here are my dozen most recently played. I haven't finished all of them yet; I always alternate between a few games at a time.
>>729628713
>>729628987
I see you coping and seething but I don't know why. Just use Windows and be happy if Windows is so great.
>>
>>729628134
No because I'm just not quite ready to have my asshole stretched open yet
>>
>>729633061
OP didn't ask if you've upgraded Windows.
>>
>>729630229
>Favorite Native Linux game?
For me it's Brigador.
>>
HOLLY FUCK IT WORKS
>>729628925
Mechwarrior is some level known but it will be the first time for me playing it. There are just simply some old af games that are hard to run especially more on modern Windows. Meanwhile actual literal who games like Cruise Ship Tycoon and Shrek Superslam just work.
>>729630229
>Favorite Native Linux game?
Half-Life

It's so funny that Linux won. I wouldn't have predicted it 5 years ago.

How do you reduce latency for V-synced Vulkan down to 2 frames like I get with OpenGL?
>>
>>729633508
Enjoy it with HOTAS if you can, the Mechwarrior 4 trilogy is peak mechwarrior from balance PoV
>>
>>729630105
>Fuck you nvidia fix your fucking drivers.
No, they’re an AI data center company. Be grateful for the scraps you get.
>>
>>729636767
the funny part is that those ai centers are running linux so nvidia is actually putting in more effort into their shitty drivers.
>>
>>729635309
How much better can it get by 2030?
Winboat doesn’t have anything special right now, but a lot of people like it, and I feel like by then it would be good enough that any newcomer can be told to “just run anything else with Winboat.”
>>
I hate india and microsoft so I got a steam deck
>>
>>729636572
Why do you even get 2 frames latency with Vulkan applications? If you're on Wayland you should only get 1 frame latency at max (if you count unfinished frame as a single frame) or no frame latency if you're using tearing.
If you're on X11 your only choice is to disable compositing

I finally got proton GE working on Mint for steam games so I'm gaming happy now (turns out Mint rolled back to an outdated driver for no reason which was the last thing I checked when trying to troubleshoot lol.)

Now I need to figure out why Lutris keeps fucking up so I can play my porn games too.

linux is very much an incemental solution, i don't expect large breakthroughs overnight.
by 2030 i expect most anti cheat games to have a linux solution.
>>
>>729637580
>porn games
renpy games run natively with the .sh script, for everything else regular wine + dxvk is more than good enough
>>
>>729637687
let me clarify: the games run just fine. But when I exit the installation gets corrupted and I lose my saves which is annoying.
>>
>>729637767
what game? what engine?
you can always call "wineserver -k" that kills everything in the prefix, so you're not getting the game to do a shitty save.
>>
>>729628835
WTF that game isn't even sold anywhere anymore. I used to love it back in the day, but now it seems to be unobtainium. (unless you pirate that is) Wonder what happened to it.

>>729629680
Issues with 50xx series should be the same as all other nvidia cards from my understanding. You can use them fine and most games will work but all nvidia cards are a shitty user experience and you'll deal with all kinds of bugs that really diminish your enjoyment. Specially if you actually update your driver after you happen to find one that works ok.
>>
>>729637869
Uhhh pretty much all of them. Game engines are unity and RPGM. They were working just fine a week ago and then suddenly everything was corrupted. Tbf I probably fucked something up because I only bother with porn games while wasted.
>>
>>729638261
>suddenly everything was corrupted
yeah that's not very likely to be a you issue.
be careful as lutris updates the proton-GE version automatically. they are absolutely not stable and new versions can cause bugs. try running an older version of proton-GE, you can download them manually on github and override the version in lutris.
>>
>>729638371
oh wait they all corrupted while I was fucking around with Proton GE troubleshooting at the time which is probably what happened.

just create a new prefix and it'll be like nothing happened.
