    Kommen ein #Lutris, ein #Faugus und ein #Heroic in eine Bar...

    „Nicht-Steam-Spiele unter Linux ✓ | Faugus, Heroic & Lutris"

    behandelt das Thema Tools zum Verwalten und Starten von Spielen unter #Linux, die nicht über #Steam bezogen wurden.

    Sehenswert 👌

  2. Видеокарта может самовольно играть с частотами и это будет сказываться не лучшим образом на плавности игры. Переключать профили видеокарты приходится и вообще, и тогда, когда уже выполнены:
    Основная путаница идёт вокруг двух вещей:
    • Power Profiles (Профили производительности)
    • P-States (Performance States, уровни производительности)

    Нет нужды возиться с manual или custom в таблице Power Profiles, проще переключать P-States.

    Опять же удобнее это делать поставив GUI тулзень сродни LACT, нежели через терминал.
    Например, посмотреть текущий P-States:
    $: cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
    low

    А переключить же на тот, который пригоден для игр:
    $: echo "high" | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
    ... или ...
    $: sudo sh -c "echo high > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level"

    Требует sudo, а если использовать LACT, то можно обойтись без такового, получив тот же результат:
    $: /usr/bin/lact cli profile set ИмяПрофиля
    ... запуск игры ...
    $: /usr/bin/lact cli profile set ИмяВторогоПрофиля

    Сами эти профили придётся создать в LACT заранее. Полезны не только в плане Highest Clocks | Lowest Clocks у памяти и ядер, так и по части управления вентиляторами.

    Lutris прекрасно поддерживает такие обращения до и после запуска игры, за счёт «Pre-launch script» и «Post-exit script». Которые можно не прописывать у каждой игры в отдельности, а выставить сразу всем, через глобальные настройки в Lutris, отдельного раннера как тот же Wine.

  3. Пришлось лечить от замираний и дёрганий всякие разные игры, и даже такую годноту как Blaze Rush.
    Занимательно и залипательно по ряду составляющих. Это не проблемы именно linux gaming'а и решается несколько сложнее, чем переключение системы на использование более современного и более разумного eBPF-планировщика задач. Касается как игр работающих через Wine, так и нативных для линукса.

    TL;DR
    В рамках паттерна изменяются настройки и графического стека в системе, и в самой игре. Всё это в ориентиром на то, какие частоты поддерживает монитор. В самой игре снимается ограничение на число кадров секунду, а в графическом стеке выставляется ограничение исходя из параметров имеющегося дисплея в мониторе. В обязательном порядке в самой игры запрещается вертикальная синхронизация и адаптивное изменение частоты кадров в секунду.

    Принцип и подход
    Паттерн примерно один и тот же, цель которого сводится к получению ровного поток кадров во время работы игры, без просадки по времени при подготовке каких-то отдельных. Даже раз в тысячу кадров заминки в подготовке кадра приносят лишь раздражение или даже разочарование в игровом процессе.

    Технические нюансы
    Есть игры на OpenGL, Vulkan, а так же DXVK (это DirectX 9|10|11) и VKD3D (современный DirectX 12). В добавок к этому, выполнены игры могут на разных движках и с разными заскоками. Например, те же файтинги на уровне программного кода очень странным образом обыгрывают физику работы хитбоксов, увязывая с количеством кадров в секунду отображаемых игрой.
    Как минимум приходится учитывать комбинацию этих нюансов.
    В системе с Wayland могут быть разные композиторы и KDE Plasma с композитором KWin требует действий отличных от других сред, с другим Wayland-композитором (иной реализацией графического сервера поддерживающего Wayland).

    Wine-запускальщики
    Запускаться игры могут как через эмуляцию X11(т.н. XWayland), так и напрямую работая с Wayland. И проще всего, когда средствами разных версий Wine игра работает напрямую с Wayland.
    VKD3D может быть свой конкретной версии у Wine, а может быть и свой форк VKD3D-Proton'а подставляемый обёрткой сродни Lutris.
    Загрузка ядер процессора через асинхронную работу графического стека бывает как в виде gplasync, так и более древного async — это вариации DXVK.

    Hardware и профили
    У современных видеокарт на борту есть своя прошивка (firmware) и свои контроллеры (SoC). Это всё может быть сконфигурировано или на более длительную и тихую работу или же под высокий уровень производительности при нагрузке. Беда в том, что вычислительная нагрузка бывает разная и нужные различные политики управления частотами. Иначе не получится обеспечить отсутствие задержек в подготовке отображаемых кадров. Производительность нужна не столько большая в целом за счёт резких пиков, сколько более-менее ровная и равномерная. Это область тонкого тюнинга custom-профия тулзами сродни LACT, которые всего лишь заменяют использование sysfs.
    Однако, очень может быть, что запускать конкретную игру придётся скриптом, в котором изменяется таблица настроек профиля работы видеокарты. Потому что не все игры сделаны хорошо, авторам недостаточно просто взять годный движок, а почти всегда требуется изрядно поработать с оптимизацией программного кода. С этим вечно огребают проблем при портировании игр на различные консоли. Вот только и там тоже удаётся добиться приемлемой работы в том числе и за счёт такой же калибровки с переключением профилей работы железной составляющей.

    Есть же FreeSync
    В ряд игр неприятно или откровенно сложно играть даже когда монитор идеально поддерживает и обрабатывает просадки FPS — падение со 120 до 40-50 FPS.
    Т.е. повсеместное появление FreeSync в мониторах и видяхах было в какой-то мере революцией, но в несколько иной плоскости и для иных целей с задачами. Которые про другое, отнюдь не про нестабильную работу программного кода игры и постоянно скачущую производительность видеокарт.

    Тишина и охлаждение
    Да, иногда можно добиться всем этим и такого варианта, что компьютер становится крайне тихим при игре в какой-нибудь «Silksong» или же «Curse Of The Dead Gods», включая Quake-подобные шутеры вроде «Xonotic». Весьма актуально может быть для летней жары или при откровенно ночном использовании техники.
    Однако, придётся смириться с тем, что приличная графика будет лишь на 60 Гц — т.е. в 60 FPS и при разрешении FullHD или ближайшем аналоге в 16:10.

  4. @Bluebuddy Schön zu lesen, dass es vorangeht. Bei mir war #BattleNet Mixed: Grundsätzlich lief es, #StarCraft remaster lief, #Warcraft 1 & 2 Remaster nicht :(

    Aber ich hatte Battle.net jetzt schon ein paar Monate nicht mehr offen.

  8. @Negahyphen I've been using #heroicgameslauncher though I hear people talking about #GameNative quite a bit, though I've had problems with GN when trying to get a Retroid Pocket 4 working.

    #Lutris works, but with GOG I've had better luck with #heroic

  12. I wanted to play WoW classic with a friend.
    I had it running on my Arch box not that long ago.
    But it no longer worked. Hung on login. It is a Common problem, not an easy fix to understand.

    At one time it was necessary to use wine staging 10.6.

    I used Proton plus to install wine staging tkg 10.6 and few others. These go right into the Lutris configuration.
    The runner that finally worked was Proton GE latest.

    This took some research on my part. But in the end it was easy, point and click.

    I've forgotten how klunky windows actually is. Every solution is reboot. It's such an awful OS.

  17. Der #Steam Client funktioniert zwar schon seit Jahren einwandfrei unter #Linux, und hat mit #Proton #Gaming unter Linux erst wirklich möglich gemacht. Mittlerweile gibt es aber auch gute Alternativen. Mit den #opensource launcher #Lutris bekommt man so gut wie jedes Spiel zum Laufen, egal ob Steam, #Origin, #Uplay, #Epic oder #GOG. Ich empfehle GOG, alle Spiele laufen auch offline weil sie #DRM frei sind, die Spiele gehören einem also wirklich, kein #GamesAsAService! Bin auch schon gespannt auf die Linux Version des GOG #Galaxy Launcher.

  18. I finally did it! After years of trying and failing, I finally got #thesims2 running in #Linux. The secret all along was to use #Lutris to install it. I used the "Universal DVD installer script" on their website and it worked first try! It even worked when #Steam and #Playonlinux didn't. This was the last program I needed #Windows for, so now it's time to erase the partition... once I pull up all of the mods and custom houses and characters I created over the years. lutris.net/games/the-sims-2/

  20. This weekend, I finished my first playthrough of #Cyberpunk2077 on my #Linux desktop. However, realized that I didn't have #PhantomLiberty installed as well.

    I struggled and failed to get it installed using #Lutris. Then I deleted the install in hopes of getting it to work on a fresh one.

    I switched to #Heroic after trying and failing with Lutris a few times. I will say that Heroic looks nicer and was able to fully download everything without issue. I've had problems with Lutris doing that in the past with my #GOG account.

    The last attempt could load the CD Projekt Red menu, but when I clicked on the load game option, the screen went back to my desktop and it said it was running, but nothing really happened.

    I saw someone suggesting that I try using #Steam by adding the game and using the GOG installers, so I might try that.

    It's definitely issues like this that make gaming on Linux a chore at times.

  22. @cyrl

    Glad that this 'do it for me' spirit does not represent the linux gaming community at large.

    I hear #eldenring runs out of the box, and native steam support is so robust it confused me when I came back to #lutris.

    Idk. It's not like running windows or wine is not an emulator in linux is that hard if user has done the install.

    Wonder what kind of flock would come... Fans of Atomic Heart? Yuk.

    Really I just want people to make stuff in #OpenMW with me.

  24. Per la Befana pomeriggio karaoke su #bazzite con #Karafun (windows) sotto #Lutris.
    Interfaccia audio #Scarlett 2i2 e interfaccia midi collegata alla tastiera, entrambe riconosciute all'istante.

    Per chi vuole sperimentare sono riuscito a far funzionare Karafun 2.6, tuttavia se provo a ridimensionare la finestra si incricchia tutto, altrimenti è stabilissimo e funziona alla grande :linux: ❤️

It looks like there is no way to launch Ubisoft Games (purchased on Ubisoft Store) under Linux? #Heroic doesn't support #UbisoftConnect , #Lutris doesn't sync the library properly since 2025, Ubisoft Connect launched over Lutris can't launch games because Connect and the game need different settings, I can't launch in #Steam because the code is bought on Ubisoft Store etc. It's quite frustrating...

  33. I'll start. I use a #Debian flavor called #MXLinux. Why? Because I'm comfortable with it. I wouldn't consider it 'beginner' friendly, but I went through a phase of #distro hopping, as one does, but, as #ToddHoward always exclaims "It just works". I can play 95% of the games I own through #Steam & #GOG (GoodOldGames) with the use of #SteamProton #Lutris & #WINE. I have productivity tools at my disposal & can usually navigate them with little issue. Give it a shot if you're ready to distro hop.

  34. So far #Bazzite is working just fine but I still need to become familiar with it and its apps.
    The important thing is that everything works.
    I've just formatted my secondary HD using btrfs ( #Steam install its games only on Btrfs drives ) and I tried a small (in size) game and it's working fine.
    #PCSX2 for PS2 games : OK
    #DuckStation for PS games : OK

    I've struggled a bit to make work #KaraFun but I found an old version that worked ( #Lutris ).
    Any native alternatives on #linux ?

  39. There are nice tools like #Lutris making gaming for other platforms than #Steam available, i.e. gog.com. Played a round of #Frostpunk. Not particularly successful, but the graphics, the background story and the gaming are to my taste.
    Does not miss anything since I quitted Windows usage. For online banking I found a nice alternative with Jameica/Hibiscus in the meantime.

  41. I was so worried about getting a Windows game to run on Linux. Turns out, that was the easiest thing ever. I'm so glad I made the move from Windows when I did. There are hardly any impossible hurdles when you're trying to get things working.

  43. I take it all back... #lutris fail the install... I had to fcuk with runners. Then Lutris wasn't happy because I had to install the runner manually...

    ... I ended up installing #HeroicLauncher which is apparently the less problematic launcher for #wow on #Linux.
    But I still had to scout the net for the appropriate install procedure.

    Linux Gaming is so far from click and forget, it's not for the non-geeks...

    ... Still it's better than how we had to install windows games on Linux in the olden days, with copper pots, tinctures and hand woven electron wicks.

    Progress?

    Now I have to buy a bigger SSD because it turns out 256GB is good enough for a workhorse, but entirely inadequate for a games laptop 🙄
