Hello, how are you, I'm Andrei, well since I had a laptop again I've wanted to switch to Linux, basically since I've been aware (the first time I picked up a computer was when I was 9 years old) I had a love-obsession style with Linux. distance hahahaha, question, they gave me a laptop, basic from 2010 or so, and I want to use it for a few months until I get a better one.

the problem is that it is a 2.6ghz Intel i3 m370, with integrated 512vram AMD HD 5470 (without vulkan compatibility, and 4 GB of ram.

I tried several distributions, Linux mint xcfe (the one that froze very often) and Lubuntu (the one that worked best for me but didn't convince me). Question, I tried to play a lot of games, and thank God and the optimization of Linux with Minecraft is incredible, it gives me a stable 160 fps in Minecraft 26.1.2, but what bothers me is that I can't play GTASA, I tried thousands of ways but always I threw graphic errors in textures, or it looked good but it worked at 4 fps. and I don't know what to do. any help or recommendation? I also tried the emulator, but it also works terribly for me.

now I'm on Windows 10 LTSC with Privos, I feel super insecure and I don't want to be here, and I plan to move to Zorin OS 18 Lite, what do they say?

Hi, how's it going? I have an old laptop that I've been trying to revive lately. It has 4GB of RAM, an Intel i3 m370 2.6GHz processor, and an integrated AMD Radeon HD 5470 graphics card with 512MB of VRAM but no Vulkan support.

I wanted to play video games from the 2000-2010 era, and I tried Half-Life and it runs perfectly, but when I tried to install GTA San Andreas (free...) it didn't work, or it worked with a lot of graphical glitches, or it looked okay but ran at 5 FPS, basically unplayable.

Is there anything I can do to avoid going back to Windows so I can play normally? Or am I screwed because I don't have Vulkan?

Thanks

portal revolutions crashing after 10-20 minutes

0 Upvotes

Trying to play portal on linux mint steam, every time i open the game it runs smoothly for 10 to 20 minutes until crashing, keep in mind i did not reach levels with gel mechanics.

Tried using different versions of proton including experimental and proton ge, proton 8 , 9 and 10.

Tried using launch options to force vulkan and opengl, deleteing shaders cashe, disabling steam overlay and disconnecting server synchronization.

Tried lowering model quality to low and enabling v sync, nothing seems to solve the problem.

Worth mentioning, I have been able to run many steam and non steam games (lutris) : GTA4, AC1, need for speed, all max payne game, tomb raider.

I have an amd gpu, all drivers are updated

tech support wanted Rockstar Games launcher failed to initialize

0 Upvotes

Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't work anymore for me. This message keeps popping up :(

I tried to delete all rockstar games' compatdata - didn't work

I tried to install the launcher through adding it as a other than steam game - after installing gave me this same message

I don't know what I'll do. I'm such a linux noob that I don't even know how to delete everything related to the rockstar launcher so I could try that way.

Using Manjaro and would really appreciate some help :)

Thanks

steam/steam deck Does anyone know how to fix this in CS2 on Linux?

I'm trying to play CS2 on Linux, and I keep getting this anti-cheat error. I've already tried verifying the game files, restarting, deleting folders, and redownloading, but nothing has worked. Do you guys know what it could be?

Looking for a program that'll let me simulate being in the movie theater using VR.

2 Upvotes

I know this is reddit, so people are going to feel compelled to vote me done. Here is the situation though. I love going to the theater, but all my local theaters like AMC run their projectors until they break. So every movie at the theater now is dark and blurry. What I want is a program that I can use that'll run locally that has a theater level and I can play movies on the VR screen preferably somehow using MPV. I want to see if all of this is possible before buying a VR headset. I am thinking about getting the quest 3s and yes I know it has a bunch of bs with it, but I plan to activate it and then set it to offline and use it with my PC via WiFi. It would also be nice if I could test a program with mouse and keyboard just to see if the videos render before I invest in a headset.

Naraka crashing on cachy os

0 Upvotes

Hi! i'm a having a problem playing NARAKA:BLADEPOINT showdown mode, i played like the tutorial and at some random point the game insta close itself like it crashes. It doesn't freeze, it doesn't lag, the game just insta close itself, and on steam it says i'm still playing the game.
I'm playing on Linux CachyOS with hyprland, i've tried changing proton using experimental instead of GE but nothing changed. The other gamemodes runs just fine, showdown it's the only one that crashes.
i use prime-run idk if that could be a problem.

tech support wanted Proton always installs files to compatdata instead of a directory of my choosing

0 Upvotes

Basically the title. I've installed plently of game launchers (e.g. battle.net, EA app) by adding them as a non-steam game so i can run them though proton, install them on my drive, install a game of my choosing, and finally change the exe that's run in the properties of the same non-steam game, so it runs in the same bottle.
Now, no matter what I do, launcher files always go in the bottle's compatdata, even though i specify a directory (like "Z:/home/user/..." or "/home/rado/ from the wine menu). Launcher runs and all, and it gives me the option to install a game, but incorrectly calculates free space to be less that it is, so I can't do much else.

How do i fix this? I appreciate any help. I use arch but I am not sure what system information would be relevant.

tech support wanted Distant city lights in Cyberpunk

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

The distance city light/haze switches in front of / behind buildings depending on the precise angle of my view. Creates rather noticeable flashing when moving around.

Has anyone else had this issue and/or resolved it? A very similar-looking graphical artifact happens with the shadows of tree leaves in Elden Ring.

I'm on Fedora KDE with an RTX 3070, and I have tried several different Proton versions up to 11.0.2 and GE-Proton11-5 with no difference. Nvidia drivers are up to date, and this has been a long-standing problem for me.

Sabre v2 Pro : Simultaneous clicks does not work

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I recently acquired a Sabre V2 PRO MG, great mouse but i have a problem, when trying to aim (hold mode) on a FPS game (The Finals actually) i can't aim with my right click and fire with the left one at the same time, every mouse input cancel the previous one. I can play on toggle ADS, but not used to it and the problem is still the same, i can't keep firing if i right click again to unscope.

I did'nt have this issue with my previous Logitech G Pro Wireless.

What i already tried :

  • Reset the mouse
  • Using low poll rate
  • Switching USB port (5 Gb atm)
  • Didn't find anything in KDE settings

I'm on CashyOS, using KDE (6.7.4.)

If you guys have any clues, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks !

EDIT : What i already tried

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

When looking for reflex markers/times in the video, mind that LOW_LATENCY_LAYER was toggled on.

I've been trying to find a similar tool for so long, but mangohud/gamescope all gave worse frame latency and/or inconsistent frametime. Not a single one was similar to the Windows RTSS experience... frame-pacer is the closer it gets.

The tool is open source : https://github.com/endjynn/frame-pacer , and seems to be in active development.
