TF2 Vintage and Deus Ex MD right now minetest and OpenMW for more libre

What games would you like to see come to GNU/Linux that are only on different platforms?

Children of a Dead Earth, X4, Kingdom Come and Waves 2

Also kinda want to test out wine with dxvk but I don't really have a known-good game that new which I could compare it with.

>>15266192

>Kingdom Come

Didn't they promise a native version? What happened with that?

debian buster

AMD is apparently going to try and get all their windows drivers to work on ReactOS from now on

now all it needs is proper SSD support

>>15265968

Debian.

Dungeons 2, A Kiss for the Petals, Higurashi, Sunrider, Anna's Quest.

Any of them, but I would rather have more FOSS games, as proprietary shit is proprietary shit, and running on GNU/Linux is only marginally better than running on windows.

>>15266426

They barely work on windows itself.

Their software keeps telling me my driver isn't up to date and when I update through it it always downloads the same driver that I'm currently using.

>>15266608

>fightcade

Got any tips to make that work? I tried that a while back but was forced to do it over Wine and had a lot of problems until I gave up.

>What games would you like to see come to GNU/Linux that are only on different platforms?

A lot of doujin games, La-Mulana 2 for one, but sadly Japs and Microsoft seem to be inseparable.

>What non-WINE, non-emulated, non-VM GNU/Linux games are you playing?

None, even shit that is available for Linux I just run the Windows version in wine. :^)

>>15267354

Uninstall Xubuntu and install Void. Let's play more vidya.

>>15267514

Didn't the main dev of void leave?

>>15267535

They say he was kidnapped by CIA niggers. The project is still fine without him. The other devs do a lot of the work.

>>15267563

An easy way to describe it is like a mix of Arch, Gentoo and Slackware, but without the retardation. Up to date vanilla packages. No systemd anywhere. It's a very stable and lightweight system. Uses runit for extremely fast boot times and easy control over the system. Uses xbps, the best package manager. Packages are very simple scripts anyone can make, so if you don't see a package, you can just make one. Or just request one on the github. Comes with xbps-src, a package compiler if you want to change the features of a package. It's the only distro that JUST WORKStm in my experience.

>>15266629

>amd

>hurr no drivers

That's just a meme. Now, nvidia will catch on fire tho

>>15267605

that sounds pretty nice actually. i've used slackware in the past, it worked perfectly for me. having something similar but with a better package system would be quite nice.

>>15267615

I guess my card is just memeing me irl, then.

To be fair it's an older video card, but still, the driver support is very finicky.

>>15267691

To install something is xbps-install (options here e.g. -Sy) packagename. I don't know if xbps can install .deb or .rpm files. There is dpkg and rpm in the repository which would work for installing those packages. Void also has optional nonfree repositories.

>>15267605

Been sitting on it for a year and a half. Trying to compile Aegisub on Void was a real pain in the ass thanks to the special snowflake package naming (and the fact that the former is an abandonware). Some package maintainers really suck at their job and break the packages more often than they should. And on top of that, you can't downgrade packages without compiling them from the source. Also not so long ago it had internal issues regarding the disappearance of the main developer, so I wouldn't call it stable. Overall, not worth it. The only unique feature of this distro is the XBPS package manager but I doubt average users will even notice anything special about it other than the speed. If you wanna use LibreSSL or runit, you can just do that on Gentoo, and musl isn't stable enough to not be a bitch in a day-to-day life. And if you don't even know why systemd is bad then just use Debian “testing” or “unstable”.

>>15267752

Void uses package names similar to Fedora from what I can see. But almost every distro has different names for packages. You can downgrade without compiling. You just specify the package name. Stable as in the fucking thing doesn't crash like some distros. He didn't leave. Something happened to him. The project is running perfectly fine without him. No reason for gentoo when you can use void unless you have some extremely specific need. systemd is a buggy mess made by people who intentionally leave bugs in and brag about it on the repos.

>>15267749

>by people who intentionally leave bugs in and brag about it on the repos.

I'd like to know more about this if you don't mind.

>>15267354

No, that just goes into framebuffer mode on modern Linuces (Mint at the moment, in my case):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_framebuffer

What I want is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA-compatible_text_mode

You didn't even read the opening paragraph of the article.

>>15270317

Note that I haven't been able to get this working on a modern kernel

>>15270340

>ridiculously autistic

>>15270241

Any distro that defaults to a framebuffer console instead of a text console is shit. Install a non-shit distro and try again.

Seriously though, is framebuffer console the norm now? Do people like seeing an image of a penguin above their tty login prompt that much? In any case, I think you can force good old text mode by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”text” in /etc/default/grub (don't forget to run update-grub afterwards).

>>15265968

>What distro are you running?

Artix.

>What non-WINE, non-emulated, non-VM GNU/Linux games are you playing?

CS:GO, Payday 2, looking to get into DotA 2 perhaps.

>What games would you like to see come to GNU/Linux that are only on different platforms?

The only game that I would really love to see get ported is Project Reality. Devs already said they were using a lot of hacks to make it work, so they think it's not even possible to run it in Wine, let alone a native port. I did try to make it work in Wine, managed to make it to the game's main menu and into the server browser, but shortly after, it crashes complaining that there was a failure in .NET or some shit.

Due to that piece of ass and other games, I'll be doing a PCI passthrough build.

Sure lots of anons use Artix here, is there any reason to use it other than no-systemd meme?

I haven't really been satisfied with debian. What distro should I get? Also, I don't know much about linux.

>>15270703

Hi, Lennart. Arch devs have a culture of making their lives more simple, not making the distro more simple, as many redditors have mistakenly parroted. A symptom of this is the inclusion of systemd, there are many other such cases. As such, they don't care for the support of anything other than systemd.

Doing everything needed to have an Arch installation with OpenRC or runit and have it running well takes much more effort than simply installing a distro whose devs do it for you. And we mostly want this because it's not a meme. systemd sucks.

>>15265968

>distro

Manjaro, been meaning to switch though.

>GNU/Linux games proper

TF2, Doom, LTris, other games are emulations.

>what game would you like to see come to GNU/Linux

The Soulsborne series seems 5/5 breddy gud, but not having played them myself, I don't know if they're actually as good as people say.

Also STALKER because chikibriki.

>>15270039

Imagine being so autistic you turn down a well-designed distro due to getting triggered by an MLP-related binary that isn't even installed by default.

I use Ubuntu MATE (Started using linux/WINE since almost a year ago), but for non-vidya stuff, when I start on the computer; Once I want vidya, I dual boot W7, and frankly I do other stuff too, for no need to dual boot again. The problem of WINE is that the drivers & incompatibilities is a pain, and I have struggled to run even some games that should have any problem with it. So I stopped a long time ago to bother. Have WINE progressed enough? Is there any guide or manual that could help me?

Other than updating the kernel and updates, what else is there to do to maintain it? I have the newer kernels available in my repo, do I just install it and I'm done?

>>15275235

How long ago? Because Wine has improved quite a bit. Aside from Wine itself improving, now you can play plenty of DirectX 11 games pretty well with DXVK, something that a year ago was unthinkable.

>>15275483

Just update the kernel and every other program. That's about it when it comes to maintenance, if nothing ever breaks. Which could be the case if you're using a stable distro, like Slackware. Update the kernel if you can, it's usually good practice. If something breaks, just look up the archives of your distro's repos and install an older kernel.

Now that i am part of the Linux master race is need some short games that easy to learn because i am spending most of my time reading "how-to's" about arcane terminal commands.

>>15265968

>What distro are you running?

Debian

>What non-WINE, non-emulated, non-VM GNU/Linux games are you playing?

I like to play Openarena and SuperTux Kart occasionally.

>What games would you like to see come to GNU/Linux that are only on different platforms?

Don't really care as I dual boot anyway, but more arena shooters would be fine

Also, sometimes when i run games in wine, they're displayed on a non-existing screen or display. I can hear them in the background, but i can't see them. Any idea how to fix this?

>>15270703

Kill yourself jew.

>>15271502

Pretty much. Even the claims of lightweightness have no basis. Archlinux devs claim even minimal Debian installations are more lightweight.

That's not to say Arch is without its merits. pacman is pretty good and has plenty of shit that handles failing update servers well.

yaourt is interesting to say the least. It's not the most secure shit out there, but it's great for bullshiting software together. Other distros don't have stuff like it.

>>15276989

Out of curiosity, are Wine'd applications stuck on the awful Windows font rendering or can you make them work with something like infinality?

>>15276944

>yaourt

Eww. I seriously hope no one uses this pile of shit.

>>15277026

Archfags have no choice when it comes to compatibility with certain stuff.

>>15277044

>>15277026

You can use other AUR helpers cum pacman frontends, though. Not a lot of loss of compatibility or functionality. Off the top of my head, there's trizen, aurman, pacaur, and yay. I personally use yay.

>>15277201

That's good to hear.

Is Arch still lacking an automated installer?

>>15277271

I believe there are at least two automated installers out there. I personally installed it manually anyway, because I had to prepare it for portable installation. So I can't attest to how good they are.

>>15277271

anarchy, formerly known as arch anywhere, is an automated arch based installer

>no games

>>15275520

Onions on the ukraine cat?

Really? Go back to sucking Igor's cock at KC.

>>15276989

I see the Desktop, but when i click the game, there's no picture. It seems to happen mostly with cracked games that have a launcher of some sort.

>>15277271

I read somewhere that Arch has no gui installer to keep the normalfags away.

>>15276944

>yaourt

shit's out of date anon and you should really consider looking at the AUR wrapper page on the wiki to find a maintained and better one like Pakku.

Hell, yaourt doesn't even tell you about packages that got removed from the AUR and just silently ignores them on updates

>>15277056

Nice, thanks for the good news, now if Iron Harvest gets one I should be set for quite a while

That's technically true of all open source software. Why do you want to run the absolute latest versions instead of the most recently stable? Moreover, why have Snes9x around when Mednaffe/Mednafen handles SNES just fine?

If you still really want to, you can probably find a launchpad page or third-party repo (PlayDeb?) with more recent builds.

AntiMicro, xboxdrv, or both

And for people who don't already know: https://github.com/BlindMindStudios/StarRuler2-Source a Space 4X/RTS was made open source/libre by the devs. Assets are included only the music is missing which is already being replaced

I've only ever gotten sub 60 fps on my 980ti, i7-5820K rig.

>>15266629

There's a difference between drivers and the bloatware that tells you to update them

>>15286039

Not very surprising, Star Ruler 2 fucking bombed on release. I think it's a good game, though, although VERY disconnected from the usual 4x formula. It's a lot more like a card game/resource balancing pseudo-city builder thing.

Star Ruler 1 was pretty interesting, too. I remember the extremely complex fully 3D maps you could have in that. I've once made a galaxy that was a fucking 3D cylinder.

>>15286091

Hm yeah seem right, I get 69.3fps average in the benchmark with a 1080ti and i7-6700K.

>>15286143

It did? Damn sucks for them but on the other hand now we have a 4X to use and since I am a fan of SoaSE I don't mind it going into more unconventional areas either.

What you are referring to as GNU/Linux is in fact, Windows/GNU/Linux/NT or as I've taken to calling it Windows+GNU+Linux+NT. NT kernel plus GNU utils is far superior to Linux kernel + GNU Utils, Freetards can't except this

It does run DOS better than NTVDM. It's not even supported on 64 bit.

>>15288073

In my case, it was an embedded sqlite db I was using for a private server I've been working on. NT's broken POSIX locks in WSL caused sqlite to fuck my db. I learned of this bug the hard way.

>>15288074

NTVDM is worthless past XP unless you're dealing strictly with MDA text mode games like Zork and rogue so it's not to surprising. Mario Teaches Typing is the only DOS game I ever got full audio working with on NTVDM anyway.

>>15288088

There are still a lot of horror shows in industry that use it. Next time you get a dental x-ray, know that it's probably running 16 bit Windows 3.1 drivers to control the device on Windows XP via NTVDM and communicating via NetWare. Smile.

Rolling release while remaining stable and Steam Linux integration.

Steam Linux integration isn't actually just for steam games tho, it's for games in general. It introduces several runtime fixes for different kinds of games.

I am playing the first Witcher game in Wine (PlayOnLinux) and it runs fine, except for two issues:

1) Performance is really bad when outdoors (especially in Wyzima), but fine indoors.

2) Things turn black indoors when looking at them at a certain angle. When I move the camera a bit they turn back normal.

Is there anything that can be done about these issues? I am using Wine 3.0 on Kubuntu 18.04 and my graphics card is

It honestly does suck. I wanted to run Divinity Original Sin 2 and I ended up doing more searching and cross-referencing than I wanted.

I ended up writing this because I didn't want to go through that bullshit again.

Also I went on a searching spree trying to get hardware accelerated screen recording to work since AMD never released Relive on Linux, or has it working with OpenGL games to begin with. These are the notes I ended up with. I'd really like to hear from someone who has managed to get hardware accelerated screen recording with an AMD card.

>Why would developers support an OS where you need to regularly compile drivers in order to get most desktop parts working right?

I have an AMD RX Vega and what I mainly needed to do was have kernel version 4.15, which just came with the distro, and to download drivers from AMD's website.

However, if I wanted to use DXVK, I needed to have Mesa version 18.2.1 or above, which is cutting edge for some distros and causes the compilation deal for some applications that rely on it.

>>15300417

You don't compile anything on any distro except for Gentoo and other source based distros.

>>15300417

Why would an anon try talking about something he has no experience with?

>>15300417

What does that have to do with Linux?

>>15300417

>REACTOS HAS BTRFS NOW

btrfs is shit

BTRFS has a reputation for being really brittle. For example, a single bad sector with metadata on it made the entire volume unrecoverable. The devs added metadata duplication in 2016 (note that the first release was in 2009) which is on by default except on SSDs because according to BTRFS devs slightly increased wear is worse than unrecoverable data loss.

1. Shit-tier perpetual-alpha knockoff of ZFS

2. All the effort wasted on such folly should've gone into making a Linux ZFS driver that measures up to BSD's, as opposed to being such an utter embarassment

>>15301725

meh, works fine for the last 2 years or so and subvolumes can be kinda helpful.

>>15300417

>why would developers have to compile what they program

you can't be fuckin serious m8

>>15304271

I'm psure he means that most distros don't come with all the drivers precompiled and ready to use for the machine of choice.

Wangblows has to still download them from sites, but they've been pre-compiled.

Not all Linux distro ship or repo precompiled drivers, assuming you can even trust them [all scenarios].

But it's ok, we know he's retarded.

>>15305938

>But it's ok, we know he's retarded.

Perhaps the same could be said of all Windows users…

Linux fucking sucks.

GO INSTALL WIN10

>>15313973

any reason why you choosed manjaro?

>>15314187

you could try arch, or try anarchy linux for an easy arch based install with systemd, or artix linux, which is also based on arch but with openrc instead of systemd. If you want a gui for your package manager (if you are using an arch based distro using pacman) you could try pamac, octopi or tkpacman. I don't know why, but i just don't like manjaro, maybe because the installer alone "feels" bloated. anarchy linux has a nice terminal based installer.

>>15314187

>>15314257

Christ no, just try to get what you have now to do what you want, if that works you can then switch to other components.

>>15313973

run steam in a terminal to see the output, that should provide some clue on what is going on

DXVK really is a gift. I've just tried Battlefield 3 and it ran remarkably well on my RX 550. Easy installation, maybe a few quirks that got resolved quickly, but it was pretty smooth.

Its just i3 exposing the wine desktop token window since you can't hide things in i3. Its not a breaking issue.

>>15313973

Manjaro user here. Loving it for years. Never had serious crashes like that from vidya but I can say the official manjaro forums and irc are a great help for such things. Just get ready to run stream in command line so you can paste the output and other things to a pasting service, otherwise nobody will be able to diagnose it.

>>15322143

Also remember to stay updated with on fresh install with

sudo pacman -Syyuu

then just -Syu from then on

How tiresome. I can't get Graviteam Tactics Mius-Front to run properly. It shits the bed seemingly randomly soon after I start a scenario. Graphics work fine, sound works fine, but then suddenly it just decides it has had enough of life and just dies. Console logs give about few hundred lines of this

>003c: fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log 0(22) : warning C7050: "vs_out[1]" might be used before being initialized

I guess I am damned to play GSG for all eternity or go back to wangblows.

>>15313973

Have you tried running the game binary directly from a shell and see what it says if it crashes?

>>15322143

Going to be ex-Manjaro user here.

I tried updating almost 1 week ago and got kernel panic. Then I used a liveusb to try and fix my install and I can't get ethernet working on the thing.

I've always been settled with using Mint, was my first distro almost four years ago and I've hopped onto so many other distros. Solus, Mint, and PCLinuxos are the only ones I liked.

>>15266192

I've been replaying Fallout 4 with mods using Wine 3.10 and DXVK. You might not consider it a good game, but runs way better now on my machine than it did when I was just using the former.

>>15270321

> I only have one video card

this means you cannot do PCI passthrough unless you have integrated graphics as well.

if you passthrough the graphics card to the VM then the host machine can't use it at all, literally, not even to display a desktop.

Steam does wine now.

>>15338873

So you can install any of the games in your library on Linux Steam now, instead of having to run Windows Steam via WINE?

>>15338873

Holy fuck, as much as I hate Steam, this will surely be a gamechanger.

>>15339369

I think that's the idea. Let me check…

Yup, I installed the beta client and after enabling unsupported games, my entire library became installable. Wish I could force it to use a virtual desktop though, it does not play nice with my tiling wm.

>>15339691

I actually tested around with this already.

You can indeed get virtual desktop to work you just need to take a few steps and do it from commandline.

First cd into the proton directory, It's located in /steamapps/common/proton 3.7/dist/bin

2nd, locate the prefix you wish to modify.

All prefixes from my understanding are located in steamapps/compatdata/<random fucking number>/pfx

You can edit the prefix doing:

 WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<that fucking number>/pfx/ ./wine winecfg 

It's simular to how you'd normally do it, but this time you're specifying what WINE binary to run, in the example it's the one located in steamapps/proton 3.7/

and the PREFIX which is that random fucking number directory.

After that, it's simple.

Does Blender on Linux work nice with GPUs yet?

>>15340519

have you tried updating your drivers?

>>15338935

100% orange juice works perfectly which is nice, quake live crashes consistently online ill have to research for a solution

best girl theme

>>15340519

works fine for me. if you run an older ati you need to turn something off in the settings to work perfectly, you will wanna google your problem because i dont remember but it fixed everything

>>15337113

which ethernet card do you use?

some require a kernel module such as r8168 to be installed for every new kernel

>>15340493

Neat. Thanks for the info.

Found a google doc compatability list being updated for the steam wine shit. Do you get banned for posting google docs? I haven't been here for a long time and I know you guys are probably the most autistic people in the world when it comes to links and freedumbs.

>>15344494

I just wish there was any fucking way of changing sorting.

How does one use a native wine to the distro in the linux steam client?

>>15344874

What?

>>15344874

you can't

>>15344874

open steam settings, and then press the new tab setting menu "steam play". check the option "allow for all games" and then all your games should show up in your library

im assuming thats what you are asking anyways.

>>15344874

You mean replace their binary with your own?

You could try making a system link to the native binary from where theirs are located.

Not sure if it'll work for you but for your information their wine binary is stored in steamapps/Proton 3.7/dist/bin/

>>15346968

Yes you can, it's just kind of pointless

>>15347932

I've tried symbolic linking all the ELF files under said directory along with the .so's under lib and lib64 to no avail. It just forks the proccess in the script without starting the wineserver. Or more specifically the appid is off by one and then it complains about a fork.

If I try symbolic linking the proton script to system wine it complains about a missing waitforexitandrun.exe in the user wine prefix. Does someone know where waitforexitandrun.exe is because using touch to create it does nothing.

>>15348400

There is a single github issue that mentions the waitforexitandrun.exe in the github issue tracker but the post was edited to exclude the mention of it. After going

>ls */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*waitforexitandrun.exe*

From my steam folder and waiting patiently I can't find it. Along with doing every */* from before that many of them. It must be named a different file. Did I just fine a botnet? I mean steam is fucking botnet sure, but I mean literally a botnet?

>>15348473

>ls */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*waitforexitandrun.exe*

I seriously hope you don't do this

>>15265968

debian + xfce

at this point i just vm all my games because it's less hassle, but the most recent native one was ftl

all of them, vanillaware games primarily since they're only available through emulation or not at all

>>15348478

I already did it and I keep going. I still can't find anything.

>>15348478

It only takes me like 20 seconds for it to finish. If you had installed arch or gentoo you would have zooming fast speeds like this.

>>15348482

nigga just use the find command

Don't fucking ls that shit

also

>did i just find a botnet

no you fucking idiot, you just broke compatibility with the runtime.

It's not fucking rocket science that volvo did a lot hackign around to get this shit to work in the first place.

Maybe you should read through the github instead of jumping to conclusions

>>15348485

>If you had installed arch or gentoo you would have zooming fast speeds like this.

Are you acting retarded on purpose?

>>15348485

do you run everything off an ssd, because doing a full search for a file would take quite a while on my system

>>15348494

No it's a plain hdd at 7200rpm.

>>15348493

Valve's so called hacks seem to be essentially a sandbox for wine and the game installed. I am currently searching the python script for where it executes wine to see why the symbolic linking dist directory didn't work.

>>15348501

your original issue is user error but trying to search with ls is downright retarded and you have major problems if it's finishing in 20s on any substantial amount of space

>>15348523

Ok mr retard, since symbolic linking ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/proton to /usr/bin/wine didn't work. While also symbolic linking everything under ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/dist to the appropriate files in /usr/bin, /usr/lib32, and /usr/lib64 did not work. What would you suggest then?

How's that System76 laptop with the newer Nvidia 1060 GPU? Heard that sys76 drivers come included with a toggle between Intel HD and Optimus which will be good for enginedev and battery life.

>>15348536

Your comment and his do not line up.

Why are you using ls to fucking search for shit

>>15348547

Because why not? Maybe I don't like using find. I also found where that file is. It is created on the fly by the proton script in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/proton . But since the script is placing it in the game specific wine directory and then searching the user wine directory it fails to find it.

>>15348552

>Because why not?

Because that's not how ls is meant to be used.

if you really want to search ALL directories in a sort of hack style for some dumb fucking reason.

You could just do du |grep -e "thing"

Why the fuck are you seriously manually writing out ls */*/*/ every time you want to find something?

that's not even a good way of finding things.

>>15348563

>what is the coreutils info page on security usage of find

>what are distros that don't include standard GNU utilities and instead opt not to use GNU at all.

>what are viruses that fuck with GNU find but not ls by other utils such as busybox

Have you considered these options yet? If you havent then I suggest getting off the systemdick and looking into new ways to do things. You don't have to type */* everytime if you use a script and simply recursively add to the command.

>>15348593

What kind of fucking system are you on?

Why are you making an entire script to do something that can be done in 1 command

Why are you talking about viruses?

What the fuck are you doing?

also

>having gnu is comparable to systemd now

WWWWWWWWWWWwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Are you even using gnu/linux?

My fucking old ass install of gentoo that only had 400 packages had more functionally than what you have right now.

>what are distros that don't include standard GNU utilities and instead opt not to use GNU at all.

LS IS FUCKING GNU TOO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

>>15348593

>>15348620

You know what's even more fucking retarded

LS HAS A RECURSIVE MODE!

HOLY SHIT ARE YOU RETARDED!

>>15348649

In GNU's implementation of ls it has a rescursive mode, which is bloat tbh. Some implementations of ls do not have a recursive mode.

>>15348620

There are alternative versions of ls that are not neccessarliy GNU. I am using a linux system that is mostly free of GNU programs and libraries. Hence what you might mistake for retardation is just minimalism taken to an extreme.

>>15348480

>vanillaware games

Good taste in games anon.

>>15348678

Why the fuck do you have steam installed if your trying to be minimal?

>>15348707

It's a extremely convenient GUI game launcher that doesn't require any system libraries as it is self contained under the install directory. Makes it easy to launch as a jailed chroot under a VM too.

>>15348593

>>15348678

find is POSIX http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

ls -R is POSIX too http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

If you don't know what POSIX is you should neck yourself. Also what the fuck is the rest of the shit you've written? If you want to LARP please go to >>>/tech/

>>15349182

Who is responsible for the shitty POSIX site? Just search for 'find' and 'ls', you can't directly link to them.

>>15352100

NuDoom works flawlessly and DeadSpace has no problems that aren't the usual shit port bugs.

Going to try out Arkham City next

>>15352252

I've tried banished and seemed to work perfectly graphics wise, however I couldn't get audio,

>>15352100

It's shit, doesn't really compare to having a dedicated prefix for wine steam.

It is, a very limited wine.

if you're just a faggot who uses lutris or playonlinux it's fine but for anything that requires more tinkering it's absolute shit.

>>15348538

One of my coworkers got it, he uses it for ml not gaymes but it works well and has no driver issues

>>15352100

most of the ones which worked in wine basically, its just outdated wine i guess. the entire point is just to be able to use wine on games you otherwise would have had to install a separate windows steam to download, update and play. its pretty nice that the games work in big picture mode, shame my tv was fried

100 percent orange juice works fine

quake live will crash if you connect via browser, but work perfectly if you use something like an online lobby list to get ip and then use console to connect with /connect ipaddresshere

nothing else ive tried seems to work. even dusk which does work fine in wine (thankfully without drm it doesn't use steam so i can just double click it)

>>15359810

it's strength is just not having to have a second steam install. the problems i encountered having a steamwine setup are; lack of functionality (anything other than library and friends doesnt work), conflicts (couldn't have both steams open at once or one would be offline) and finally i couldn't use big picture mode. i dont have a tv now though so i cannot enjoy the bpm but still i imagine someone is enjoying the option of trying their games with steam controller again (fallout new vegas seems to work fine from a simple google and that is a really good steam controller game)

>>15348701

Not really. They attract too many progressfags (muh level stats), storyfags, and aestheticsfags (muh beautiful 2D) to the beat 'em ups genre.

IGS beat 'em ups do it the right way. Or Capcom's D&D series even.

Just so you know, /tech/ would have a field day with the */*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ autist. It may be full of LARPers, but even those LARPers are more knowledgeable than most of /v/.

>>15360032

>lack of functionality (anything other than library and friends doesnt work)

Have you tried launching steam with -no-cef-sandbox?

That normally fixes everything.

Do I run the regular .exe or the dx9 .exe for Ys oath in felghana in wine?
