Not gonna lie, I expected more from the game that was supposed to be a return to form like the older games.
Puzzles are non existent, except where you line up the shadows, or some minor ones.
There's also no enemy variety, no zombies or hunters, just mold dudes.
Combat is also janky, they've made it on purpose bad with that waiting 1s between each shot so your hand gets steady to shoot accurately.
Just use the double barreled shotgun for instakills.
Onto the sequel next.

Game is pretty, but there's no color...
Also my gpu temp was high as fuck, turns out I was running thr game at 1.5 resolution scale, turning it down to 1 lowered the temperature but the visual clarity got worse thanks to the forced TAA.

It's probably the way they calculate FPS.
They would be identically reciprocal if you calculated FPS as (total frames)/(total time) and frame time as (total time)/(total frames).
I don't think they calculated them like that however.
Don't ask me why though I would have no clue

>>573371976
The max fps is probably calculated over a fixed time interval.
The minimum frame time is between two consecutive frames.

Page 10

>>573380754
I'm guessing the "newly playable" is referring to stable releases only, but as I pointed out in another /lgg/ thread a while back, an earlier Proton 11.0 Beta had already made Deadly Premonition "playable" with one huge caveat: cutscenes were handled by remotely transcoded videos downloaded to Steam's shader cache, and at the time, the game's later videos weren't transcoded yet. I hope they've at least processed more of the videos now. Maybe I'll reinstall it soon and find out. But my expectations are low because the video transcoding process is apparently triggered by some number of players hitting a broken video, and most people don't finish games, especially jank like Deadly Premonition.
In any case, I'm pretty sure it won't work at all without the shader cache enabled. See:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2284#issuecomment-4276631881
The game was also fully playable (including all cutscenes) with much older Proton versions after doing a bunch of Protontricks shit and other tinkering. I played through the whole game on Linux with some Proton 5.x build. The setup was a nightmare though, so I really hope there is some Proton build that just works now. I'll even settle for Valve's Proton if all the videos get transcoded eventually, because I don't mind having the shader cache turned on.

>>573435046
I just don't like the idea of pre-cacheing seeing, it sounds dirty and bloated.

I've tried several times to move from Easy difficulty to Medium but here's another one. In this mission you have to destroy engines of freighters. But here's the thing: you can't do that in time before 2 of them escape. Your ship constantly running out of Guns/Engine energy, AI squadmates suck on both difficulties and at the end of the mission they're most likely dead from enemy ships. This mod wasn't well-designed at all...

>dogshit and obsolete x11
What's wrong with it? The only complaints I ever see are that it doesn't work with different refresh rates across different monitors (and then I get accused of being "poor" when I ask what issues are relevant to my single-monitor setup) and something about HDR.
Anyway, I don't really want to be "stuck" on X11 (which is obviously going to be left to rot considering that developers were screeching for it to die long before Wayland was even viable), so I hope Cinnamon gets Wayland alternatives to xrandr and xdotool so that all of my scripted automation doesn't get replaced with manually opening GUIs like some kind of Windows user.

>>573477114
>across multiple monitors
Fixed.
Also, last time I tried the "experimental" Cinnamon on Wayland, I tried to open Steam and the window was invisible. Was that just because Cinnamon's Wayland support was still broken? Or is there some obscure ritual that I would need to do in order to run programs that don't support Wayland yet?

This was the match that lit powder barrel for me. It felt like I was using a computer from 1998 without the sovl. The only fix was to "disable the compositor," and then you were stuck with ugly windowing with no animations or decorations on already ugly desktop environments.
Not to mention its security issues, because any program can read and send inputs to every other program. I don't know how anyone is OK with that.

It's subtle, but I know in other games when you're piloting/driving vehicles you can see electricity and smoke/burning from the exposed/damaged parts, and pieces of the vehicle can fall off (and you can interact with those broken pieces because they have physics). The mod changes a bunch of stuff so I'm not sure if they disabled the smoke/fire for that vehicle, but it could also be the LOD is too low/vehicle is too far away for those things to render. Some of the assets are also grabbed/remixed from the other games, and the mod isn't the most polished so not sure how accurate they made the transition to this game.

>Low compositing performance
The funny thing is that when I use kde plasma wayland I have worse performance when recording because the compositor seems to be active even when playing a game at fullscreen, so the compositor gets gpu starved and lags. This doesn't happen on X11 (when running without a compositor).
>Expensive screen recording
Not if you use gpu screen recorder. The performance is the same as on wayland or better (as mentioned above, you can run without a compositor and you wont have compositor stutter like on wayland)

>>573482897
>Not to mention its security issues, because any program can read and send inputs to every other program. I don't know how anyone is OK with that.
I can guarantee you 99% that applications on your wayland system can also do that, unless you run every application in a sandbox without write access to $HOME. Even the a large portion of the most popular flatpaks have write access to $HOME

>>573481110
Almost none of those points apply if you dont use a compositor (including "Poor support for multi-monitor setups") and wayland compositors also have terrible overlay planes support. It seems like on kde for example a window is only added to the overlay plane if you manually tell it to do so in the windows settings

Hi. I'm trying to mod P4G, but I'm having some trouble. I'm following a guide that requires I download Reloaded II via protontricks, and when I do that, a desktop entry is created, but when I attempt to execute it, my entire computer freezes and I have to manually restart it. Any help fixing this?

>>573603468

what the fuck?
you just download the file normally and then use protontricks to run the exe

>>573605252
Sorry, I meant to say install, not download. I run the exe with protontricks, select P4G, a folder and .desktop file is created and stored in my /desktop directory, i launch the .desktop file, but my computer freezes as soon as i do so.

It has its uses but it's been bad for a long while now

Troubleshooting a problem with a pirated game, wouldn't run in Proton via Lutris so I ran it through Steam. Steam added the demo and seemed to be redirecting the launch to the demo, which I've never seen before, but I can't find any evidence on my system that it actually installed anything. So... what's the anti-piracy situation with Steam? Does this game just happen to have shipped with a -demo launch parameter which Steam is redirecting to? And since demos are rare and having to run a game through Steam is rare I haven't seen this behavior before?

[Tragic News]
The stable release of Proton 11.0 didn't fix the issue with the hardware cursor option in Gray Matter causing stuttering/frame-rate issues. So I'm playing with hardware cursor disabled, which fixes the performance issue but causes an annoying input lag. Proton 10.0 didn't have this issue, but it did have a minor video playback problem, specifically with the video logs on the computer in chapter 3.
On that note, I never did finish chapter 3. I'm trying to do that now but I don't know what I'm missing here. At least one walkthrough is wrong about what actions correspond to each of these goals, because I've already done everything that the walkthrough mentions under A Spectral Presence.

This Steam forum post had the right answer. I had to go examine the bedroom mirror again.

>>573690939
Have you tried wine Wayland driver?

>>573696402
Is there any actual reason to believe it would fix that particular issue?
I wouldn't know how to get Wine Wayland driver to work with Steam Proton, and I'm probably not going to switch my desktop environment to avoid some input lag in a point-and-click adventure game. (Despite recent news about improvements to Cinnamon on Wayland, the Wayland session is still experimental. Those updates that supposedly get it working come with the next Linux Mint release, scheduled for the end of the year. And I probably still won't use it right away because a lack of drop-in replacements for xrandr and xdotool would break a bunch of my scripts, and nobody cares because the Linux community is in pander-to-normies mode and thus the answer to my problem is "just use GUIs for those things you scripted".)

>>573690939
Are you using an RDN3 AMD GPU?

>>573697223
>Wine Wayland driver to work with Steam Proton
By using Proton-GE with the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 variable.

>>573690939
But really, why do you even touch vanilla proton? It was made for niggers who don't know any better. You should use either ge or CachyOS protons

>>573697223
So you're using x11? Forget it then

>>573698598
It's an RX 6600; I looked it up and supposedly it's RDNA 2.
>>573698612
Good to know.
>>573698730
Works fine for most games, unless Valve's Proton 11 (which I haven't used much) is just a downgrade from their previous one.
Like I get it, there are other Proton builds that fix things, but basically all of the games installed on my machine just worked with the thing that Steam uses by default, so there wasn't much motivation to go and try something else. I also at least try vanilla Proton before I report anything on ProtonDB so that I'm not one of those people submitting tinker reports for games that don't need tinkering.
Last time I used Proton GE (years ago), it fixed cutscenes in one game but was also prone to crashing. The game in question kinda sucked anyway so I stopped playing it.
>>573698867
Yes, and I'd be more inclined to try Wayland if I thought this was actually an issue of the "lol X11 just sucks" variety, but this stuttering issue with hardware cursor enabled is a regression (didn't happen with Proton 10) and may be unique to this one (1) game nobody cares about. It's not like X11 can't do hardware cursors. I've played other games. So if my X11 issues amount to stuttering with one particular setting with one Proton version in one game, and whatever it was I noticed in some previous thread (weird frame timing in Warcraft 1 if I remember correctly), then I'll probably have more issues switching to Wayland than staying on X11.

>>573699875
>It's an RX 6600; I looked it up and supposedly it's RDNA 2.
Ah k, I have somewhat of a similar issue on rx 7800 xt which is RDNA 3, but hardware cursor works even worse on Wayland (the cursor lags in many games and cursor latency). X11 with software cursor works the best in my experience.

Just a PSA for anons who play older titles, old games don't like mice with high polling rates, lowering it to 125Hz can fix the stuttering.

>>573709198
Can confirm. I had an issue with the Linux port of Overlord II that was solved by lowering the polling rate of my mouse. (Maybe the Linux port of the first game also had the same issue, and maybe even the Windows versions for all I know. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a high-polling-rate mouse when I played the game on Windows 7.)
I don't know if the Overlord games' Linux ports are still included in new Steam purchases but my library still has them. I remember them being buggy when it came to fullscreen/windowing or resolution or something like that.

>>573709198
Actually the issue with Overlord II wasn't stuttering. The mouse sensitivity would just drop to near zero.
In any case, setting a normal polling rate is worth trying if you have any issues while using an epic GAMER™ mouse.

>>573706569
Are you the anon who loves using sed

>>573711595
In most cases you do s(ubstitute)/from/to/g(lobal), easy stuff. When doing it in Vim, add % in front.

>>573711595
I probably am that anon because I do enjoy sed for the same reason that I enjoy imagemagick.
>opening a GUI
lmao
But just as I actually suck at using ImageMagick beyond a simple
>covert -append FILE1 FILE2 OUTPUT
or
>covert +append FILE1 FILE2 OUTPUT
(and I always forget which one appends horizontally and which one appends vertically so I usually do the wrong one and say "oops" and then do the other), I don't actually use sed for anything complicated because my regular expression knowledge is also rather weak. I just use it for basic string replacement such as
>sed s/FOO/BAR/g -i FILE
for recklessly replacing all FOO with BAR in FILE. (Removing the -i makes it less reckless because then it prints the result to stdout instead of editing the file in place, but that's for casuals.)
