I don't know why people who only use 5% of Windows are still on Windows. Linux even does straight out of the box features better than Windows. Windows is still good at only one thing. Fucking Visual Studio, and there's nothing like VS on Linux. You only need Dual Boot because of that and because most people are on windows and if you ship software you have to ship on Windows or you need Visual Studio

>>502359291
Visual studio is terrible. For C# project rider is better and its cross platform. For C++ Visual Studio Code is better and its cross platform. I had a C++ programming job where I used windows and we had Visual Studios licenses but nobody used it because its trash. We all used visual studio code (with clangd) or even qt creator.

Diggles is free on GOG and ... uh, what the fuck is this game? I've never seen it before.
It ran kinda like shit until I disabled "Post Effect" (whatever that is) in the video options, which didn't seem to have much of an effect on anything except the frame rate. It's still not totally smooth and it's not as if such graphics should be causing my computer to shit itself, so it's probably just supremely janky, and perhaps not meant to run at full HD resolution. I could be lazy and blame Wine, but I won't, because I see complaints about performance on the GOG forum and elsewhere from people who are probably using Windows.

PSA: If you have both Half-Life 2 (now updated to include the Episodes) as well as the Episodes (now moved from Games to Tools) installed, Steam will refuse to uninstall any of them (even if you attempt to uninstall them all at once) because of "missing shared content". I don't know if this is specifically a Linux issue, but it probably is, because the only complaints about the issue I've seen on the Steam forums are from Linux and Steam Deck users.
As far as I know, you have to remove the app manifests for all Half-Life 2 games (including Lost Coast)
>~/.steam/root/steamapps/appmanifest_220.acf
>~/.steam/root/steamapps/appmanifest_340.acf
>~/.steam/root/steamapps/appmanifest_380.acf
>~/.steam/root/steamapps/appmanifest_420.acf
as well as the game files
>~/.steam/root/steamapps/common/'Half-Life 2'
manually (which I did while Steam wasn't running because I didn't want it to flip out and crash on me or something).
If only the Half-Life 2 app is installed (i.e. if none of the stand-alone expansion entries under Tools are installed), then uninstalling Half-Life 2 via the Steam client seems to work. (Yes, I re-downloaded and re-uninstalled just to verify that. You're welcome.)
The problem is that, if you want your old Episode One and Episode Two achievement progress to be copied over to Half-Life 2 which now has those achievements, you apparently need to launch Episode One and Episode Two from their separate library entries and then launch the updated Half-Life 2. That's what worked for me, and it's how I ended up seeing the uninstall bug.

Can you guess what it is?
Ubisoft isn't actually listed as the game's publisher or developer on Steam despite the start-up video, so you can't cheat by filtering Ubisoft's catalog to Linux-native games.
The only other hint you get is that it can't be purchased anymore, for some presumably stupid reason.

Steam gives a "No Steam Runtime Mode" option when launching it, but I chose the default option and it worked, so whatever was the reason for the alternate way of running the game, it's apparently not an issue on Linux Mint.

File: Screenshot from 2024-11-1(...).png (33 KB, 685x231)

Or maybe "No Steam Runtime Mode" was meant for running the game without Steam Runtime, whatever that even means — whereas I am apparently running the game with "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout) selected by you for this title" even though I didn't select anything at all. It seems that Steam runs native games with Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout) by default, even though it's in the drop-down list of compatibility tools and I didn't explicitly enable it. Is this new or did Steam always default to "scout" for running native games and just not show it? In either case, does selecting "scout" from the drop-down list even do anything? If not, why is it there?
Also, what are Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier) and Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)? Are they used only for Proton? Because it doesn't give me the option to run native games with those.

All the games on Steam are running using runtime by default.

On Arch you can use https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/steam-native-runtime/ which will run games without runtime.

>>502485734
Interesting. Thanks. I didn't know there was a "legacy runtime environment" before Scout.

While I've heard of games not working with Steam Linux Runtime, I don't know if I have any.
>>502485457
I'm not sure. That thing is from before Steam was updated to run games in Steam Linux Runtime by default, so, for a game defaulting to Scout, I don't know whether Steam Play None would actually replace Scout with nothing, or whether it would instead simply do nothing. I mean, the original purpose of Steam Play None was to make Proton not run for games which Valve configured to use Proton by default.
On that note, I'll reply to myself here:
>>502465293

It's still good for forcing Steam Deck to run the Linux version of a game that Valve configured to run with Proton by default.

I don't remember there being any benefit to absorbing same-color bullets in Outland though. I'm pretty sure they just don't hurt, unless I'm forgetting some ability I'll get later. Outside of a short intro sequence, I still haven't obtained the ability to turn red, so I'm just blue for now. The game really takes its time with giving the player both colors, so I can see why the full color-switching mechanic is teased at the beginning.

The legacy runtime *is* the LD_LIBRARY_PATH-based scout, but "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)" actually refers to "scout-on-soldier", scout running inside of the container-based Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier). https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md#steam-linux-runtime-10-scout
Using scout directly was unreliable because it was too easy for gamedevs to accidentally depend on their host libraries, so the games would only run if you were lucky and also had compatible libraries, and even if it works now it could break in the near/far future. So they run the LD_LIBRARY_PATH-based scout inside the strict container-based soldier where there is empircal evidence that the games run fine on scout in debian 10 (what soldier is based on), and more stuff can be added to soldier if needed.
Newer games are encouraged to build in the newer container-based 3.0 (sniper) where the same mistakes won't be made.
Btw the steam runtimes can also be used outside of steam, it's all downloadable on their gitlab and repo.steampowered.com.
>Also, what are Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier) and Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)? Are they used only for Proton? Because it doesn't give me the option to run native games with those.
Maybe they disabled it to prevent users from trying to do that. Programs are not just "compiled for linux", they're compiled for a specific userspace environment (distro) and it doesn't make sense to use a different runtime version than what the game was compiled for. Either you'll be lucky if it happens to work or it'll crash.

Can't say I've seen this before. That would be Valve's own translation from DirectX, right? I don't remember if I ever played Half-Life 2 after ditching Windows, but the Linux version seems like it might be poorly optimized. Granted, my PC is quite shit and I might not have been playing at max settings even on Windows, but I'm getting bad frame rates (less than 60) at least in some areas unless I turn off anti-aliasing — and yet my system temperatures aren't even reaching levels that would suggest I'm running a mildly demanding game. (Push more frames to my screen, you lazy bastard; you're not even breaking a sweat and you're still slacking.)

>>502509968
I think I actually have anti-aliasing enabled in that screenshot but it wasn't showing 60 everywhere.
I did try using the "-vulkan" argument to enable DXVK Native (or whatever the hell it is), which does seem to work despite my GPU being just barely recent enough not to shit itself at the mere mention of Vulkan, but it doesn't appear to help performance much if at all.

>>502511302
Forcing the game to run with Proton 9.0 (which naturally uses DXVK by default but I also tried with and without the "-vulkan" switch) doesn't seem to improve performance either, based on my "load up the same area that was giving sub-60 frame rates and see if it's still like that" test. So at some level it's probably just my computer being old. Half-Life 2 is still much older but they've updated it a lot so whatever.
It still seems weird though, because my CPU and GPU temperatures still didn't get anywhere close to where they normally are when I'm running a game that's too good for my hardware.

lol. Disregard >>502512745 and >>502511302 and most of >>502509968.
I got bored of tinkering with Half-Life 2 so I said "oh well" and tried running another game that I had played recently, and it also had unexpectedly bad performance, drastically worse than when I played it a few days ago. Immediately I thought "oh shit oh fuck my GPU is actually dying" but then I restarted my system and now both games are running smoothly.
I guess something was keeping my GPU from being fully utilized (and now I'll never know what it was because I tried the most computer-illiterate troubleshooting tactic and it worked). Maybe I fucked something up by putting my computer in sleep mode several nights in a row and never fully powering off. But it's fine now.
In hindsight, it was insane to think there was any good reason for Half-Life 2 to be running worse than much prettier games that I've played on the same machine. Some games are poorly optimized but I probably would have heard if Half-Life 2 were the most unoptimized game ever made.

if your nvidia gpu is pre-16xx or 20xx series you can't play directx 12 games without major problems, also no vulkan 1.3 support means you'll need to by default stay on an old proton (i believe 8.0?) or use proton-sarek which uses the old dxvk for pre-vulkan 1.3 gpus on the newer wine that proton is based off of.

I usually run the game with DevilutionX anyway, but it's still disappointing. DevilutionX devs removed the classic transparency effect because they assumed no one liked it, so forcing me to use a blur filter instead of nearest-neighbor rendering is probably the next "improvement".

which, actually, seems to have been ported to just about everything. But I tried the Linux port a while back, and it had some minor graphics bugs as well as some gameplay inaccuracies.
At one point near the beginning of the game, where the Windows version (via Wine) allowed me to crouch under a flying bat without getting hit, I couldn't do the same in the Linux version. The bat killed me anyway. Fuck that.
Some text on Locomalito's page
>https://locomalito.com/games/abbaye-des-morts
>"Its code was rewritten and open sourced by MoonWatcher"
implies that the open-source version was a remake and didn't actually use the source code of the original, so differences can be expected, but not being able to crouch under hazards seemed pretty egregious. Maybe it's been fixed since then.
At least the graphics bugs I saw might be fixed now, based on this:

Very funny that this would come up in the very same thread where someone >>502709813 recommended using Gallium Nine instead of DXVK.
My GPU supports Vulkan (if only just barely), but if there are cases where Gallium Nine is still better, maybe someone would alert them to it. Clearly they don't care if a bunch of old hardware goes to a landfill, but maybe they'll care about cases where DXVK doesn't "just work", assuming the AF issue they fixed >>502706931 wasn't the last DX9-related bug.

>>502779626
would be nice if gallium ten and gallium eleven existed

>>502706931
just use dgvoodoo2 to convert d3d9 into d3d11

it's the khronos dragon

>>502780550
We need more layers
d3d9 -> dgVoodoo -> d3d11 -> wined3d > opengl -> zink -> vulkan

>>502816691
for me, it's swrast

>>502818357
Swrast is old, at least use lavapipe

never give up on your dreams

should i install the xone gamepad drivers? i dont have them and my controller just werks.

Install the dlundqvist fork, the original maintainer is afk because if university. But if your gamepad works fine there's not really a reason to install it.

>>502842575
it works fine and always has without installing anything. i tried xone drivers for a while but realized they did nothing except giving me issues once in a while when i update but they're not ready for the new kernel.
people say they're "better" though, i wanted to know if there was actually a different like better latency, analog polling rate, idk.

>>502841990
Well if it just werks, why try fixing it?

>>502851571
basically im scared that im having a subpar experience and im too retarded to notice. kinda like those people who leave their monitor on 60hz because they dont notice the difference with 144hz.

Sorry, no webms for now, I'm playing Factorio coop and there's not much to record.

>>502842801
>latency, polling rate
still the same vs xpad, xbox one controller is locked to 125hz polling at firmware level, other controllers have whatever polling rate they were designed for. you just need xone if you want to use the official ms dongle (and then install the xpad-no-one kernel module so you can do steam input remapping if needed).

is there a reason to not just always just open shit with O_NONBLOCK? and only set it to BLOCK if i need that behaviour explicitly?

>>502860626
/g/? anyways O_NONBLOCK can return less bytes than requested for files while BLOCK doesn't do that unless you reach the end of the file or there is an error or you are reading from a pipe/terminal. So not all code that uses BLOCK can deal with NONBLOCK. NONBLOCK can also cause a busy loop (looping and spamming read without sleeping/waiting, which causes 100% cpu usage), unless you also add polling code or change the structure of the code.

Any fuck ups with 6.12?

that score is crazy

Xone aunt compile anymore

>At least the graphics bugs I saw might be fixed now
Yup, I think it is.
The other differences are still there. Here's that bat enemy passing over me in the original and killing me in the Linux port.
What bothers me more (unless the inability to duck under hazards of that height becomes game-breaking at some point) is that jumping is totally different. In the original it's roughly parabolic, but in the port you go up and down at a constant speed with a Peach-in-SMB2-style float at the apex of the jump. I really should expect differences, given that the Linux port calls itself version 2.0.4 whereas Locomalito's version is 1.2, but the differences I've noticed all seem arbitrary... probably because they just result from imperfect porting from one language to another or something. Or maybe the Linux port is based on an earlier build.

The alternate graphics in the port are cool though.

What I can't stand is the linear scaling, which can't be disabled in-game as far as I can tell. There are toggles for full-screen mode and alternate graphics, and that's it. When asked why linear scaling (which actually contributed to the aforementioned graphics bug) is enabled by default, one of the port's developers wrote:
>Bilinear scaling looks way better than nearest, unless you pair nearest with integer scaling.
So I enabled both nearest and integer scaling in the source code and rebuild it. I don't really know what I'm doing but it seems to have worked.
I am now a game developer.

Dang, oh well. At least I got the greek letters and divide bys unlocked.
