scrub,

Same thing for me on Windows. Technology is just angering.

Now you mention it, I have spend so many hours on Windows trying to get the damn game to work. Trying to hide run Windows games on Linux, if it doesn’t work immedietly and I can’t find easy tweaks to fix it then I just assume it doesn’t work on Linux. But when a Windows game doesn’t work on Windows, I will spent hours making it work because I know it should!

i thought this was about game development for a second and was confused as to why you wouldn’t be able to do that on linux

Aren’t we all tired of this meme by now? Especially in this new age of Steam deck?

Seems a bit like trolling at this point.

Anti cheat is the biggest obstacle now, can’t overcome that and if you and your friends enjoy playing together on a game that doesn’t support it then you’re SoL. Unfortunately only 75% or so of the games my friend group plays are compatible.

The EAS anti-cheat is on Linux now too, so the small minority of games that require anti-cheat tech on Linux is getting even smaller; it’s heading in the right direction.

But my point is more towards the fact that we’re trying to apply memes to cover 100% of something when it’s really covering 1% of something.

It gets tiring/trolling after a while, especially with it’s repetitiveness.

BlanK0,

Windows virtual machine as a backup if needed 👍

alice_mac,

How is your performance on windows VM? Also specs for reference would be amazing!

BlanK0,

I havent gamed on it yet but it is pretty responsive. My specs are nvidia geforce rtx3060 and amd ryzen 7. Also i am using KVM as the hypervisor since it is type 1 which means better performance and safety overall.

alice_mac, (edited )

That’s a sweet setup, I’d like to know about the gaming performance when you finally get a chance!

Hopefully you get near bare metal performance, do you do something like limit over processes or provision extra resources when you load the VM?

BlanK0, (edited )

In regards to the VM, you can alucate as much ram and cpu power to it to make it performe better if needed (when setting up and you can also adjust it afterwards, at least in virtmanager (KVM) ). And there is an aspect I haven’t really touched but heard that it improved performance which is gpu passthrough.

(I dont really limit processes and stuff, just simple alucation and configuration)

In case you are interested in setting up KVM, I am going to leave a video for you to watch, also I have found the gpu passthrough video if you are interested as well

This is the thing which keeps me from switching entirely to Linux. A friend of mine needs twice the amount of Time to start his Games (which is something I would have no Problem with) and what makes it not worth switching imo is that he loses the sound from Discord when he plays. He needs to restart DC then. And no one knows why ._.

tslnox,

My bet would be wine grabbing the audio device and not using Pipe wire/PulseAudio. It happened to me once, I believe I solved it by recompiling something (PipeWire, wine or the gst plugins). I would recommend trying to run Discord and the game in terminal, it might show some error to help with troubleshooting.

Roflmasterbigpimp,

I will happily forward this to him :D maybe it helps.

Senshi,

Still a couple deal breakers for me, though most stuff otherwise runs fine. No HDR support. Sucks if you have a great monitor but can’t use it. No nvidia broadcast. Necessary for my mic+speaker setup, common alternative such as noisetorch are convenient, but don’t even come close to echo filtering quality from the speakers. Yes, that’s super subjective obviously. Performance tends to be noticeably to only slightly worse on max settings with nvidia on highly specialized, very demanding games. Some anti cheat tools struggle with compatibility modes.

We’re getting there, but it’s tough with nvidia not caring. :/

onlinepersona,

We’re getting there, but it’s tough with nvidia not caring. :/

That’s the biggest issue and unfortunately there’s not much that can be done about that except maybe Linux users swearing off of NVIDIA.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Senshi,

My intent was just to provide a viewpoint from someone that loves and uses Linux aplenty, but spends a lot of time with Max quality gaming, using high end hardware.

And while things have improved massively over the past years and probably will get even better in the next years, nvidia’s monopoly on top performance GPU means I’m being bottle necked by their shitty Linux support.

Sure, I can play almost any game out there on Linux, but not with the performance and sometimes not even the same quality I can achieve with Windows. I know this is no fault of Linux, but it’s the pragmatic reality I’m confronted with.

BoastfulDaedra,

I understand the HDR thing dealt with the standards for it being absolute undecided mess; but it’s looking like we’ll have support cranked out before the end of 2024. Here’s hoping, I do all my multimedia stuff on KDE.

Aux,

The problem is that we will have crap loads more cool tech by that time. And none will work on Linux. It’s always years behind.

BoastfulDaedra,

On this I must respectfully disagree.

HDR monitors have been standardized more poorly than Bluetooth was, so I could kind of see this sort of producer interference coming. It didn’t help that the average user doesn’t even understand what that means.

Most modern hardware works out of the box on Linux, and often runs a stripped down kernel as its own firmware.

Aux,

Except that it doesn’t.

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

it’s as easy as windows nowadays

EndHD,

can i get the meme template?

ArcaneGadget,

Just download the image, put it into Paint, select the right half with the selection tool and press delete. Hey presto!

olutukko,

You mean gimp right? Pretty risky move to mention paint in linux memes

ArcaneGadget,

Huh. Good point. Paint is so ambiguous to me that I didn’t even think about that. Kinda plays into the meme as well, funnily enough.

const_void,

Plus their computer is probably still running proprietary firmware

Commiunism,

me, trying to setup Skyrim mods to play Skyrim CO-OP with friends and constantly failing to setup a mod manager:

@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

SteamTinkerLaunch works like a fucking charm for me(I only use Vortex)

Commiunism,

Yeah I used it as well, but I was missing a couple of dependencies and realized that I have to move the loadorder files around in order for mods to be loaded. Was pretty annoying but it worked in the end.

ILikeBoobies,

Is that game open source?

fr4nk_j4eger,

I mean, Lutris, Protonup-qt and Winetricks get the job done pretty easily and fast once you learn how to use them.

XEAL,

Battlebit Remastered T_T

crony,
@crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz avatar

It runs amazingly on linux, I have about 40 hours on the official release, and about 200on the beta all linux.

XEAL,

I tried like 6 Proton versions when there was that F2P weekend and it was impossible even to get the anticheat installer to work on Ubuntu 22.04.

IDK what I was doing wrong.

Moghul,

When you switch proton versions, it might be a good idea to delete the prefix directory. I find that helps.

crony,
@crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz avatar

Ubuntu, there is your answer.

On a serious note, are you sure you had the anticheat runtimes installed?

XEAL,

I remember trying that too. It was something you install via Steam, right?

Mikina, (edited )

This right here. I’ve spent a few hours troubleshooting why I can’t play Hell Let Loose, which also uses EAC, even though it should support Linux. Turned out, that you need to specifically search for (in your Library) and install “Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime”, which is a separate game that for some reason didn’t get installed when you install the game.

I suppose it’s going to be the same with Battlebit, because I’m sure I played it on Linux and had 0 issues.

XEAL,

Not even with the stupid runtime worked me back then…

columbus,

Use Debian or anything stable.

olutukko,

Why? Bleeding edge has newer packages which are often needed when trying to play some new game. That’s why steam OS is now arch based when it used to be debian based. Too old packages

superbirra,

no

olutukko,

Ok thanks for the valuable input. I understood so much from this reply

superbirra,

not that I see any value in explaining anything…

olutukko,

But you saw value in replying?

superbirra,

what do you think?

TheTrueColonel,

Yes

superbirra,

indeed!

ryannathans,

Then enjoy not having your games work until you get the required updates years later

superbirra,

lol, no

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

anything stable

RHEL it is

Itd4n,

If I were to pick someone likely to overcome this adversity, it would be Miko.
