laskobar,

Yes. Arch Linux, but on a laptop. Nice combination. I thought the pre-caching is displayed as a separate dialog for Vulkan, which I can interrupt, if I want.

But I have every day a message directly right nearby the play button which reads something about “Download Update…” and the play button is grayed out.

laskobar,

Since currently I’m only playing Satisfactory, and I have downloaded the shader’s, it should not come back the next day? Or is that wrong?

I mean, it’s not the download which annoy me, its the time before I can start the game. It takes ages to download this 170MB from steam server’s. Normally 170MB is transferred really fast for other things, but the update takes 5 minutes and longer from steam server’s.

laskobar,

For some reason, i never have seen this blue ring and i have build some pumps. But i will try it on a test pipeline, which will go straight upwards.

laskobar,

In this case, shouldn’t the output per pipeline be 33% rather than 50%? After all, there are 3 outputs. Or is 50% on the “middle” pipeline and 50% on the two new ones together?

Smudget objects with Vulkan

Since some time, I’m play Satisfactory on Linux. Performance is fine so far. But if I look on the moving conveyer belts with objects like iron ore or other things, this moving parts produce smudged artifacts on the screen. I don’t know what this is called and what I can do against that. I have played the same game on the...

laskobar,

I have a 1050 in my Laptop and it works fine with the nvidia package AS proprietary driver

laskobar,

According to the linked wiki, try to go to nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html.

Check on your laptop with dmesg | grep -i chipset the codename of your graphic card. With this you can check which driver is the best on wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA. There is a paragraph, explaining which driver is the best.

If I understand it right, the nvidia package is the correct one for 1050. So you can use pacman -S nvidia with root privileges. All dependencies should be resolved automatically.

I would recommend to reboot, in case there are changed kernel modules.

2 things i have to note: Using Wayland is a total mess with nvidia. Specially on Arch Linux. I have screen flickering in GUI and games, the performance is so lala and tools like KeePass which needs access to the text in window titles did not work complete. On Manjaro, the flickering doesn’t exist, but the other symptoms do. Maybe im missing some packages on Arch.

Second with Vulkan i have some tearing in games. I have not looked further in to that.

On the other hand, games like Satisfactory or Elder Scrolls Online, have more FPS with the same settings as on Windows.

Currently i test Arch and Manjaro in parallel on the same Laptop. But I tend to keep Manjaro and remove Arch. There are light pro’s and con’s, but overall, I’m more happy with Manjaro. But this has nothing to do with you’re issue.

Editing grub Menü dual boot not working

The first OS on laptop was Windows 10. After that, I have added Manjaro. Manjaro has added a Grub menu, with entry’s for Manjaro and Windows. Now I want to switch to Arch. I have installed Arch on a separate partition. Arch has not added a entry in this grub menu, but this was expected. I have used update-grub from Manjaro,...

laskobar,

I got it to work…

I have used the command grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --bootloader-id=“Arch Linux” before, but without success. This didn’t worked before. But now…

I have no idea, whats changed. Anyhow. Im happy.

laskobar,

Keep a minimum of 30GB free, for Windows update processes on the windows system partition. I don’t how much the windows installation counts in space, but add that to the 30gb free space. I would recommend to have a extra partition for the games on NTFS and move your steam, epic, ubisoft, whatever library to that partition.

I have tried to use the same gaming partition between Linux and Windows, but failed every time. In the worst case this can alter your Windows privileges. At least I had this issue.

Currently I’m using Windows only for 2 games: Space Engineers and Empyrion. The rest works with better performance on Linux. Satisfactory, Ark survival, Elder Scrolls Online have more FPS on Linux with the same settings. I have to use a nvidia 1050 Ti in my laptop. With a AMD GPU the situation is a lot better on Linux.

I’m not a hardcore gamer, mostly im coding here and there. But sometimes gaming is a must have.

laskobar,

Yes. Because some games work only with proper privileges. This can get complicated on NTFS.

laskobar,

OK, many thx for the tips. Since my script in the service file is already doing some logging, i will try to use the last log entry, to find out, when it was last time running and exit the script, if it is not in the timeframe of 1 week.

laskobar,

Many THX. That’s exactly what I have searched for. I was confused by frame_timing.

laskobar,

I have found the same with my save game. One general question: if I click “leave to desktop”, will this save bevor I quit the game or do I have only the last autosave?

laskobar,

Can you please tell me how to do that?

Additionally, how does the shredder working? I haven’t attached a assembly line to it, but normally I can put manually pieces in to the stations. But this isn’t possible with the shredder…

How to play "Empyrion - Galactic Survival"?

I try to play “Empyrion” on Linux via Steam. I have tried other games like “Satisfactory” without any issues and with a better performance as on Windows. But with Empyrion i get a max of 10 - 13 fps, where i have ~60fps on Windows on the same laptop. Graphic adapter is a nVidia 1050 GTX and OS is Arch Linux. If i...

laskobar,

Yes, of course. But nothing helped really. There is a small difference between the used Proton version. With 8.25 GE i get 13 fps and with 6.4 GE1 i get 19 fps. Using PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1makes it more worse than ever, with only 5 fps.

On the same laptop with windows, I have ~ 60 fps.

laskobar,

Yes, I think the card is the weak point here or better the weak driver support. My next laptop will definitely have a AMD card. But I have absolutely no idea which one is good enough to handle actual games with full details and usable fps. I don’t expect Desktop like experience but at least 40 fps with full details in an actual game would be fine. Im not a professional gamer, but when I have the time to play, it should be fun and not frustrating. Mostly I do coding with VSCode and some database stuff in different flavors. So a not to small display is a must have.

Can you recommend a good GPU? For the rest I can do my own research…

laskobar,

Many thx for your suggestions.

Are Webapps in 2023 on android a way to go?

I mostly use Webapps (f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tobykurien.webapps/) for access to socials and have quick links to services where I don’t want to login every time. Don’t know if there’s an alternative way to do this beside use apps like Insular or other App Isolation like, don’t even know why browser don’t do this by...

laskobar,

From my point of view, this is all relatively unstable and not really well thought out, far from being reliable. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to convert my Crossbowser bookmark backend (codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp) into a functioning PWA. Very disappointing. Don’t ask me how many nerves I’ve lost in the process. At least you can now use the WebApp as a PWA. The share_target also works if it was installed via Chrome or Samsung Internet. It also works offline. These functions are even retained if you subsequently uninstall Chrome/Samsung Internet. The WebApp then asks which browser wants to take over the functions. This also works with Chromite or Firefox. Strange but what the heck. At least you can now share any URLs with the backend. This also works offline, even if this is more of an Edge case for bookmarks.
