/lgg/ ~ Linux Gaming General

Linus i a fucking nigger who couldn't even write his own compiler.

Use the catalog

It's hard to say for sure because then you're going to try a game and it doesn't work but most things from last decade and older should work and then once you reach 2010 progressively more and more games don't work.
Also it's not uncommon for early 2000s and late 90s windows game to work better on wine than they do on windows, for instance GTA san andreas is partially broken on every windows version that's not XP with outdated graphics drivers even with mod fixes but it works fine on wine.
You can always check the wine AppDB, for instance automata works but poorly.
appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35238

Linus was writing machine code as a kid because nobody told him about assemblers or assembly.

I'm on 4.12, which is the current stable, so I doubt that's the problem.

How is VCMI? I've never tried a HoMM game but wanna try them out.

I do, but ctrl+f linux didn't bring it up. Also, that thread's too shitposty.

Then make it not shitposty faggot

Superior linux vidya

I hope that nigger has a fucking 386. I'm installing that game right now.

here's me playing sanic on lunix

Are you sure your sound latency isn't too low? Feels like it.

Strange. Works fine for me I via wine without fucking around with anything.

Hmmmm. Anons what are you using for sound software, or apps, or whatever? That might be the problem.

44.1/48 rate mismatch? Works fine for me but I'm using winepulse.drv.

Maybe if that OP wasn't a retarded nigger.

I use also by default. I'm too assed to check what Wine is using.

Sounds like a buffer underrun, which is usually caused by low latency.
Try to kill pulse (be careful, pulse will automatically try to restart itself when it dies) and run wine, and it'll probably work (it'll use pure ALSA). You can fix it more permanently by forcing a higher latency for Sonic, if that's the issue.

People that use pulse audio deserve getting fucked over.

ALSA*

Ah the true meme os experience.

Last time I looked into it, Wine & Mint worked well together. Like, everything ran smoothly aside from minor issues.

Could be his recording program causing it to fuck up (too much RAM used at once, or how the recording did shit)

PulseAudio is literally the default sound server for every major Linux distro. If you are using Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Mint, Elementary, or Gentoo, you are using Pulse unless you explicitly disabled it and forced it off (try a `ps -ef | grep pulse` to see for sure). You can use ALSA directly if you want, but then only one application can play sound at a time. PulseAudio spoofs an ALSA device, so most applications that say they are using ALSA are actually using Pulse.
Really, when it comes to sound systems (other than raw ALSA, which, as I said, forces only one application to grab the sound device at a time), all you have available to you are PulseAudio and JACK, and JACK really isn't worth fucking with unless you are running a complex setup, require extremely low latency, or are working with audio equipment that requires you to run a virtual audio switchboard (connecting arbitrary hardware input to arbitrary applications).
The only time I've had to fuck with JACK is when doing real-time music mixing (need low latency, because any delay fucks with your ears while you play) and routing in my MIDI keyboard. Not only that, but JACK needs a program to be compiled to work with it or a pain in the ass ALSA-to-JACK bridge through a loop (gamesplusone.com/alsa_to_jack.html)

Pulse is shit, but virtually everybody who uses Linux runs it (very likely including yourself, especially given that you use wine "without fucking around with anything") and everything else is an incredible inconvenience in comparison. Even people who use JACK typically use Pulse for day-to-day use outside of their specialist audio needs.

Nuke pulseaudio.
Run it through ALSA

I'm using Manjaro OpenRC which is PulseAudio free. You can go on your autistic tantrum again but it won't justify anything. It's made by the same kike that made systemd so that is enough of a reason not to use it.

That's their problem.

Oh and I have JACK just in case.

Also if any program requires PulseAudio I simple skip it or purge it afterwards, works fine with Steam and Wine.

t. has never used ALSA.

stop making generals

To be fair, that used to be something it did.

this tbh

OK friend

That used to be the case.

What an embarrassment.

When, 1999? It's had a shitty software mixer that never really worked right as far back as I can remember. It was one of the big features over OSS.

Alright, so you are using ALSA

Have these words completely lost all meaning?

They fixed that? The last time I used ALSA directly, it still didn't work unless you had a sound card that allowed hardware mixing. That was like a decade ago, though, maybe more. Maybe it was a feature it had that was off by default.

Manjaro OpenRC is deprecated, are you going to migrate to Artix?

Not sure when they changed it, but it used to be the case only one thing at the time got crank out shit. So there aint really a reason not to use ALSA if you ask me.

Don't worry I still love you.

I will, I did already on one of my laptops. It's runs even faster now. I used the guide they provide instead of just reinstalling everything easy shit.

...

fucking kys nigger

Android is a Linux distro and there are tons of Android games.

Flash player is on linux and there are tons of flash games.

Apples vs. oranges or something.

ebin.

St. Ignutius, please. calm yourself.

You need to run it with a 32bit prefix

Why does it matter if all x86 computers are backdoors as fuck?
Even if Intel ME is not present, you still have SMM.

Because it's fun

hopefully speebot's dev releases his game with a linux port/build

Hope so, I would fully support it if he does

No matter how much market share Linux gets, it will still only get a handful of breadcrumbs when it comes to game releases. If your mark of quality is "well it came out on Linux, good enough for me!" or your solution is "well I can run it in a VM!" (meaning you're running Windows anyway) then have at, bro. But remember that Linux is irrelevant, and will always be irrelevant.

And I will continue to remind you, because you can't keep the fuck out of Windows threads.

...

Please excuse my 4free shilling, but the TALOS II is the best non-x86 workstation available. x86 is kiked beyond belief, we need more workstations like these to have freedom based computing again. POWER is open source and RISC. I know it's expensive, but with your money, this project will go far.
raptorcs.com/TALOSII/

It's beautiful.

There's nothing wrong with the X86 architecture. Intel ME doesn't even run on an x86 chip, it runs on a separate integrated ARC processor. and x86 "rust" will always be a myth

I really wish someone other than Intel and AMD would release their own x86_64 processor and enforce the IBM PC standard that has made many pieces of software and hardware successful instead of reinventing the wheel

I want to support it, but holy shit

Also, this seems to be more for companies, not your average consumer. If they are capable of making this, why not make a more consumer-friendly person aka, a motherboard/cpu your average user can afford

Wrong. x86 has TONS of historical baggage and is unoptimized as fuck. All x86 processors can theoretically run IBM DOS 16 bit still.
More like reinventing the oblong cylinder into an actual wheel. POWER isn't bound by goytel's control and standards.

You're actually getting a sweet gayming rig too, if you want to think about it like that. Just run Windows in a VM if you want to run games.

...

Also
Mostly untrue.
Only 3 versions of ME run on an ARC.
The latest. (>Skylake) run on an x86 quark SoC.

The mobo would be a big bottle neck, POWER is a serious heavy-grunt CPU, therefor you need a big mobo. Basically the LS of the processor world.

Great presentation.

From my understanding, this requires quite a bit of fucking around if you try to, unless they have changed that. I'd so, I would completely jump off the windows train.
I don't have that kind of money, has games even been tested on this?

The x86_64 architecture is very "dense" and there's nothing wrong with this, in fact, it's the reason why it's the choice architecture for engineers. ARM conversely is more designed for software developers

Wrong. And the architecture of today bears little resemblance of the old 8086 architecture. It's called scaling, and it's allowed the core to be scaled down into a more risc-like layer while it's still exposed to developers as CISC. Modern risc CPUs like ARM are more CISC-like nowadays too with the introduction of SIMD instructions

I'm glad you actually said this. UE4 has been tested and runs like butter.
raptorengineering.com/TALOS/op_ue4_gl.php

Engineers don't use x86. They use ARM.
People use x86 because they have to.
No one would use x86 if it didn't have
-Windows
-Legacy software
You didn't explain to me that x86 has intel's swarthy cock all over it and will fight tooth and nail, even after they switch to ARM (lol).

4got bump

No-no, I think you're a retard. And I somehow can't see many engineers running around with Chinese ARM boards over actual supercomputers and servers. Software developers and hobbyists use ARM

IBM Watson is powered by POWER.
Again, people use x86 because it's cheap and familiar. Most engineers are too scared to step of the Jewtel's grasp. Also ARM is total shit. Jewtel is moving over to it because mobile, ironically planning to dump their x86 line. You'll be forced to jump ship anyway.

And before you say some shit about ARM board design for smartphones, most of that shit is done on CAD workstations running, you fucking guessed it!

Also porting Linux to everything is not the equivalent of software engineering, especially when porting Linux from ARM board to ARM board requires minimal effort nowadays (to the point where as long as it's the same architecture, you can run a distro made for a TI SoC on an Allwinner granted you write the correct U-boot albeit with some chipset-related shit non-functional)

That is 100 percent false, the rumors about Intel dumping Atom were false, Intel is continuing their Intel Atom line, and for good reason, its actually damn good having experience using it myself, and does well to compete with the best ARMshit. You don't need fans to run x86_64 chips at reasonable performance anymore

Why the fuck do I care, they use it because it's cheap trash.

Really? THEY FUCKING DROPPED THEIR EDISON, CURRIE, AND 101 BOARD FOR ARM
THE POWER OF JEWTEL
Even their shills get cucked by them!

Also
What did you mean by this?

That was part of the cancellation of their old SoFIA platform. They didn't discontinue Atom, you fucking idiot. Why the fuck would they while ultra-light laptops were making a resurgence?

Something is deeply wrong with you, seriously, read a fucking book nigger. AMD isn't even going for ARMshit anymore which they were planning on doing and are going back to revamping their E-series APUs instead

ARM got bought out by Korean kikes, it's basically dead now tbh.

Source? Their APU have TrustZone PSP. You haven't showed me one successful mobile phone that has x86.

Which is massively stupid on Intel's part.

extremetech.com/computing/205078-amds-project-skybridge-the-armx86-hybrid-core-is-officially-dead
No shit because there isn't any. Atoms current strengths are ultra-mobile PCs and tablets which there are fucking hundreds flooding in from China

Also the premise of AMD using an ARM security co-processor is retarded because by that logic Intel must be adopting ARC too
And remember those 64-bit ARM server arrays hyped about by those startups in the early 2010s? Where the fuck are they now? ARM is fucking dead outside of mobile shit. There was an initial wave of hype earlier in the decade but it's over.

Good, because I don't want ARM. But it goes to show you that x86 is inferior if POWER is a way better platform for servers and ARM is a way better platform for mobile. The only place where x86 is welcomed is the mid-workstation/home desktop market, which is made of sheep goyim, ripe for the data collecting.
Just buy an x86, goy!

That would make sense but POWER based servers are also kind of fucking dead too. Although I mostly attribute this to the fact that server operators would rather not want to deal with hardware support so they go for the most supported hardware.

not anymore, bby. I'll try to give sonic mania a twirl tomorrow and report back,.

as a side note I need to ask how to get a gamepad to work with wine. I almost never use one but I have a problem with metal gear rising in which the cursor seems to try to pull towards the center of the screen in-game meaning you can't freely position the camera around as it'll move unexpectedly making it pretty hard to play. The controller gets detected by wine control but not the game(or at least it doesn't recognize its input as what it is expecting) I'll assume as the game doesnt have a way to map the input, that i need to map them beforehand to behave like an xbox360 controller, so in that case, what should I use and please don't suggest xbox360ce, shit requires dotnet 4.5 which in turns requires a ton of other stuff, after hours of downloading bullshit I was left with a still not working prefix for xbox360ce

You see? Everyone is completely shafted because legacy software, drivers, and intellectual property. Everyone doesn't want move because it's hard. The consumer doesn't care about the finer details of security and RISC vs CISC based design. If it just werks. It's totally fine with them. I believe it's totally time to move away from x86, with its strong patents and sloppy design. I'm fine with going with any RISC based CPU, I just promote the TALOS II because it's the only one out there.

POWER had promise until Apple decided to ditch it because IBM couldn't deliver improvements on a generation by generation basis like Intel started doing. After that people stopped giving a fuck. Now game consoles don't even use it, the WiiU was the last POWER based console. The Cell Broadband Engine was promising but it was just too expensive and impractical

POWER still has promise as a high end workstation. x86 was chosen for PS4 because
And switch chose ARM because I will admit POWER sucks down more juice than your average collage mulatto.

There's also a Linux port of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It's a pity Loki Entertainment (professional linux game porters) went under. I don't think you can purchase their ports anymore.

lokigames.com/

In SMAC's case you'll want the community's exe patches though, so the linux version won't do you much good.

Isn't there going to be massive overhead converting POWERPC to x86 instructions?

Oh yeah, a guide for running old Loki games:

improbability.net/loki/

Theoretically NOT because Intel was throwing out old instructions out of x86 ISA and turning some of them into prefixes for other instructions as a way of corner-cutting jewy savings as x86 ISA kept evolving through time.
Also x86's issue is not it's legacy baggage, it was always shit architecture from the very beginning. 68000 legacy lies in ruins, PPC didn't deliver because IBM are greedy and lazy kikes, Transmeta got sued to hell, Acorn/ARM wasn't interested in desktop anymore because trying to compete with IBM gave them a sick burn, MIPS never had opportunity to grow and it's too late for them.
There is no real competition, don't bring up Qualcomm+M$ fast on-the-fly x86-to-ARM for Windoze because that quirky tech lies in prioprietary licensing hell, Qualcomm are even worse kikes than Jewtel so you can count on them not wanting to share it/allow it on any non-qualcomm arm cpus.

Is there a mod for Minetest which makes the terrain not blocky as fuck? I really like the idea of being able to build a comfy bunker, build stuff and making Machinegun nest for mowing down nigs, but everything is made out of cubes instead of a smooth looking terrain which is a deal breaker for me. So far I have seen only a mod which lets you make different shapes of blocks but the terrain shape is the same.

so I installed the game and have a similar problem, except it's a lot milder for me. pulseaudio is the default backend for wine for me, however, manually switching to alsa through regedit presents the same problem. Somehow selecting oss doesn't actually make it use it as backend and it, instead, says there's no driver (tried with both "oss" and "OSS"), I'll try something else when I0m back from work

Also, I don't know if it was mentioned in this thread, but the game still tries to phone back home, so I advise you guys to block garry.sgaas.net from your hosts file

$4.5K for one fucking rig, are you serious.

My ODROID XU4 too?!?

so after rebooting it's somehow worse, what gives. the little things I've tried don't work. Now I'm left wondering if when using alsa it's still somehow going through pulseaudio

Did you use "ps -aux | grep pulse" to check?

is proxmox the best to get a gaming VM setup with IOMMU? i just tried to get it setup on my ESXi machine and apparently nVidia blocks passthrough on non-Quadro cards…

i have a gtx 960 i want to use in the guest, and a gtx 210 i want to use for the host. help meh

You probably don't have OSS.
But like 2 other anons already said it sounds like a sound buffer underrun, see if it's the case.

ARM is shit now.
ARM's whole deal was being RISC and that was why it was so great, but every new top end cpu ARM released added more and more complexity and now it's just more CISC trash with a gorillion instructions nobody ever uses, and now that they're direct competitors to x86 intel is going to slowly crush them.
Intel just needs to put out proper made for low TDP processors that can change clockspeed fast and with tiny steps and that'll kill ARM outside the embedded market, it's already happening even if all x86 phones up until now are shit.

I really wish that AMD or some other entity would really contribute to React OS to make it or Linux, in general, have windows 7 Parity when React OS doesn't even have windows 2000 Parity

That way we could get everything Pre-Vulcan to work perfectly with the Linux Eco System.

they do
linuxfoundation.org/membership/members/

I meant to say that as far as I know I'm using alsa on wine specifically, but that it may(or may not) be going through pulseaudio first(assuming the problem is pulseaudio)

I have lib32-alsa-oss which is all I think I need at this point for wine, and the problem is buffer overrun, but I never dealt with anything like this before so I don't know how this is meant to be fixed (all results I could find were JACK related)

Of course things are broken.
Install gentoo.

I don't want to waste my life compiling
when I stop being a lazy ass likely never unless my hard drive dies

As far as I know, nobody has implemented the marching cubes algorithm to minetest. It's something that's only handled in rendering, telling the renderer to merge the textures if air exists between so many adjacent cubes. Hitboxes would remain the same, so it would still be a bit wonky trying to traverse the terrain.

Recommending gentoo for stability is like recommending caffeine to help someone sleep.

The guy's an archfag, it's like giving heroin to a krokodil addict. Heroin feels better and doesn't kill as fast.

If you like Arch but want a more stable system just move to Manjaro.

Yet there is like 3-4 Minecraft FOSS clones, I hoped there would be at least 1 FOSS clones that has demn marching cubes or so. That sucks.

except one of them isn't a clone, it's the literal original.

RISC-V exists and there's an open-source CPU called lowRISC in the works for it.

> appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35706

I dont know why you guys think my system somehow is unstble, it hasn't given me any problems. And I don't like manjaro, I tried it earlier this year and it installed the OLD proprietary drivers, which in my case means fglrx, FUCKING FGLRX IN 2017. That removes it from my list permanently.

Also, installing XACT removed the audio problem. I never did know what it was for, but it seems it is an audio api msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff827592.aspx

Heh. My nigger.

...

Is this what default Artix with i3 looks like?

Yep.

I use QEMU+KVM, there is a workaround for Nvidia code43 with hyperV enabled. It still works on my 1080Ti.
If your host OS is linux here is the link to the guide I've used
>evonide.com/non-root-gpu-passthrough-setup/
The arch wiki has a section on GPU passthrough that is more thorough but denser, I found this one simpler to grasp after meddling around with the virt manager GUI a bit to get an idea.
There should be even simpler instructions out there for virt manager GUI but I found this method of writing your own script far more flexible.

On a different note, webm related was my old GPU passthrough setup with Xubuntu as host running on intel iGPU with a 980 passed through to VM, Vive works without a hitch but needs its own USB controller passed through to bypass QEMU's limit of 4 USB devices passed individually by device ID (Vive has 10 USB devices on its own).

Long since moved onto a different setup using arch and a single keyboard+mouse with KVM switch.
Took me a good long while of researching and experimenting but only recently I FINALLY figured out how to write a script and Xorg conf files to pass my dedicated GPU back to the host OS since I don't fire up windows in a VM very often and want to use my dGPU on my host as well.
You still loose your current session since the script has to log you out.
Can't remember why that was the case I think it was an issue related to systemd causing your session to freeze if you try to start another X server instance from within an X server instance for some benign reason so you had to do it from tty.
It is all automated though since I have setup tty1 to automatically login and my .bash_profile handles the rest.
Waiting on wayland to mature and include GPU hotswapping so I don't even have to log out to switch GPUs.

Well fuck that was a mouthful, sorry I'm too excited I got ahead of myself.

What games can run on a Tallos Workstation?

Wait what

pls be joking

I just downloaded it and it worked for me, crashes with cutscenes, works fine without

Not joking.
forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-openrc-will-be-discontinued/28387

Arch-OpenRC is also deprecated. But cheer up, because the developers of those two projects are coming together to develop an Arch fork with OpenRC, runit and s6. artixlinux.org/

LOL, nerds! Windows just werkz ;^)

enjoy your openrc botnet.
oh wait, the manjaro devs are competent for once and deprecated it

Fuck computers

ok, so it seems I was actually fucked over by arch. I pirated dying light and had it on hold as it didn't work on mesa, now that mesa is out as stable I decided to give it a go, but it crashed silently after loading for a while(never reaching the main screen, alwayssilently crashing at the same point judging by the loading bar), it seems to generate shader cache before loading the main menu, snooping around I found the logs get stored in a textfile saying the following pastebin.com/WSETyWhu

I checked that the game links against my library and not some prepacked library(it isn't included in the steam runtime), I try with testing repos as it has a newer version of glibc, but same shit. Consider there might be a problem with my download, but I also had Dead Island, crashing in a similar fashion. Try a combination of mesa stable and git and radeon and amdgpu kernel along with hopping between 4.12 and 4.13 to no avail.

And then I found this bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101262, looks like the problem isn't mesa related but OS specific, but no idea what the actual problem is so I did the only other thing I knew never messed with apitrace and strace didn't give anything useful to get more output and used MESA_DEBUG=1 for some more output and got pastebin.com/mvmjpHcT (with the last line repeating dozens of times) but this information isn't useful for me. I am wondering what is fucked.

Yeah, I'm currently looking into migrating my shit. Wish me luck.

RIP power bill.

Holla Forums tux cart tournament when?

games ive played and enjoyed on linux over the years
great relaxing fps, good for killing time but the server can be empty alot of the time, after work hours european time servers are populated and its alot of fun
pretty but can get boring after a while, especially when you realize how cheesy planes are
its runs fine on wine, dont need to describe it, great if you wanna ruin your life
free to play on steam, not really pay to win but the dev have made it less fun with crates, used to be truely free to play but it kind of still is, lots of fun building bots, the game doesnt stand up to its glory days in my opinion but its still fun
tons of hours of fun, great game and has a lot of players from the linux community
well i dont need to to introduce, its fun but gets over competive for my taste sometimes, i prefer casual play for a few hours instead of tryharding, but then again you can just change servers to get away from the tryhards

also roguelikes, stone soup and cataclysm dda, ive sinked a few hours in those, really fun once you stop seeing them in a bad light.
Ive played tons more but i cant remember them all Faster than light, besiege minecraft starcraft all good games to pass the time with on linux

The way to use sound in Wine is through OpenAL, especially for the Thief games because it enables all the amazing positional effects.

By not having Intel ME you avoid the remote management exploits in it. By not having Windows you don't have the interest of most malware authors and you have better security. There's also non-security reasons to use Linux, such as having sane desktop and development environments.

In short, the perfect is the enemy of the good. Also for trust reasons I keep my main system free of Wine and proprietary games, and only run some older emulated games and stuff that's open. I have a Windows 7 system for running games on that isn't allowed to connect to the Internet, plus a few game systems.

Last I checked OSSv4 didn't even do HDMI audio. Would've been nice to see that go somewhere instead of having a userland daemon to do it.

Basically none because it's not x86. There was video of UT2004 being run in QEMU and it wasn't perfect.

How realistic is it to hope for a cracked linux version of XCOM 2: War of The Chosen?

I'd guess it'd depend on a game by game basis and how it was cracked, sonic mania runs perfectly, for example. The biggest problem will be that most denuvo games are new, and as such they are likely to use directx 11 which isn't well supported on wine

the base game is already available, so you might get the chosen eventually

also, has anyone tried to run deadly premonition recently? I followed the instructions on the winehq entry appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=29735&iTestingId=90181 but it still crashes after launching the game(the launcher itself works). The only things that appear in bold

Linux Foundation is to Linux what Greenpeace and PETA are to the natural environment, user.

I just installed Xubuntu on my Dell Latitude E5430 and tried Lutris. It ran E.Y.E. reasonably well, so I guess I'm happy now.

It's gonna be sad to let go of my old Thinkpad X220

fair warning, I've had some games freeze and it had me scratching my head pretty hard. lutris has something called "lutris runtime" enabled by default which can cause trouble with some games, so have that in mind

yes

Don't Rance games run fine in WINE? A VM for it seems like overkill.

Amazing linux performance.

If you're a professional developer or otherwise not poor, I hope you do support them.

Nah, that's definitely pulseaudio's fault. We've been dealing with Poetterfuck for a long time now.

I think the issue is with your sound bitrate. I get the same issue when I try to run Retroarch with the default settings on Debian (through Wine because no Debian or tarball and compiling it is broken for months)

At least for me it's been quite intuitive to use compared to some other things like PlayonLinux (which is seemingly depreciated as fuck). E.Y.E. works and so does Titan Quest, so I'm fine with it,

Supossedly Lutris is going to have GOG and Humble Bundle integration soon, so it will be even easier.

...

This doesn't work?
libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-with-flatpak/

I'm using radeonsi's TearFree option and it werks fine.

I've been playing some PoE in wine again recently since it doesn't have extreme stutter anymore. X3AP Linux now runs with much better framerates too since the last time I tried it some months ago.

PROTIP for funtoo users having problems updating kits: ego sync && epro update && ego sync

OP here. I upgraded my kernel and removed pulseaudio and the sound quality is still shitty.

install XACT on your wineprefix

already have all the xaudio2 dll's; thanks for the advice though

remember to install wine staging and not the stable version, in wine staging you can enable _CSMT and run most directx games

its the first step, next i will run AA2, also that is not rance.

...

Would you really Install and use an OS created by these Glue eaters?

Is that capable of doing anything yet

Yes, and the wine Devs are working with Reactos to improve wine and reactos since reactos is a windowsNT based operating system.

the video is an older version of reactos.

gaming on linux is the final meme

So It's still absolutely proprietary then…

No it was 100% written from scratch and free and open source.

You can download the sourcecode here.
reactos.org/download

So it's not NT then.

It's based on it meaning you can use all your windows programs and games on reactos but it was written from scratch.

ReactOS is a free and open source operating system written from scratch. It's design is based on Windows in the same way Linux is based on Unix, however ReactOS is _not_ linux. ReactOS looks and feels like Windows, is able to your run Windows software and your Windows drivers, and is familiar for Windows users.

There are mainly two. Firstly ReactOS is open source. Secondly ReactOS is Free. Also Windows (especially the newer versions) are known to monitor all your activity by default. So if you're concerned about your privacy or just don't want to share any personal info, we promise (and you can check our source code) that we don't track any of your data.

what?

That kike only started GNU and hasn't programmed anything since like the late 90's. You can even replace the parts he made.

Post your Emacs Tetris scores.

im running it on a vm.

What's better, CSMT or native D3D9?

depends, native d3d9 can only be used by gallium, so it can't be used with proprietary nvidia, for starters. And then it is a game by game basis, you have to try yourself. For example I find metal gear rising runs better with native d3d9 but the whole hud flickers, some games will run better and without problems with native, some might not run if not using csmt, you have to try yourself

What's it like to be able to have multiple machines

...

I don't have $100

GPU Passthrough is god anyone who doesn't make an attempt is a faggot.

why wont a VM work? also, what is your hardware? unless its some obscure piece, then any up to date distro will support it.

Unless you're using a really old computer, there shouldn't be anything stopping you. if speed is the problem, you need to go into the BIOS/UEFI and enable virtualization.

If you can't get it working, you could try a USB Linux distro. Either that or get an SBC and play around with that instead.

Would 11 years qualify as old?

JUST

use windows 10

i tried it a year ago and it bricked itself after waking up from hibernation. not going to waste my time with it again.

dualboot then, but you run the risk of windows randomly fucking over your system if you go that route

...

...

Doesn't matter. All AMD and Intel processors spy on you. No Intel ME or PSP means safety, right? Think again. SMM is in every x86 cpu since the 486 and is a backdoor for CIAniggers. The OS doesn't matter, dumb goyim will buy into the loonix meme everyday to let their entire guard down.

yeah, but atleast its not wasting my bandwidth and sending screenshots to microsoft.

...

You already have the AIDS, retard. Stabbing yourself with the syringe doesn't make a difference if you're fucked six ways from Sunday. Proof? You're posting on a imageboard that's owned by a pedophile mason. Now go be a good goy and buy another Xeon, ok?

How long until GPU virtualization is viable?

...

it's already viable, it just needs a better software solution for the kvm switch.

I admit that the Emacs operating system has a lot of nice features, but, sadly, it lacks a decent text editor.

SMM has nothing to do with network, dumb nigger

Speaking of Passthroughs, does anyone have the tutorial that an user posted a few threads earlier? I set up my vm half a year ago, but I'm looking for a better solution for file sharing than passing through a USB storage device and I'm too lazy to read the entire Samba documentation.

for shame, user.

Y'all recommend any good ds emulators?

Why must I be surrounded by these shills.

Already works fine as long as you aren't using 1.7% woodscrews

Desmume in Retroarch. Standalone version is dogshit.

I want to make the leap to Linux gaming, but have two questions before I do.

1. How do I use CreamAPI on Steam games i Linux?

2. Where do I pirate Linux/SteamOS games from?

Successfully (?) installed wine, got Darkest Hour to run, tried to install Hearts of Iron 3 with the GoG installer, but it wouldn't install. I can't find anything about it. Should I just use PlayonLinux?

This happens every time, it gets to a point and stops. It's gotta be the installer, because wine database says it runs good.

That's not a bad thing.

ARM processors are shit now anyway.

You sure found a way to trigger me, you nerd.

Getting pirated Linux games is harder which is why I just play games on Windows despite the fact that I do my work on Linux

Fuck, forgot pic.

Would you fuck an AK?
I'd fuck an AK.

I can live with that as long as I can buy the base game and pirate the DLC.

No way I am buying all those DLCs from Paradox. I just need CreamAPI or CreamAPI alternative for that.

stop

thats what I am trying to avoid.

I'm quite the degenerate, I wouldn't fuck AK-san in her fleshlightpussy, I want to fuck her in her barrel.

for linux games check rutracker, they don't have EVERYTHING mind you, but most piratable stuff is there

dunno if there's a creamapi equivalent

Retroarch acts funny to where it won't save my dictionary I have specifically for ROMs and have to manually select them each time. Also the icons on the menu don't work correctly

How small is your dick, dude?
If you're going to barrlefuck a gun, pick one that will fit.

I'm joking, nerd.
If I were to barrelfuck a gun I'd first have to move to a freedom allowed country.

>I'm joking, nerd.
I'm not.
Also sorry about your lack of freedoms.

What's the recommended patch to get Thief II running on modern systems again?

Yes, I'm playing KSP right now.

Tfix for Thief 1, Tafferpatcher for Thief 2

At least he's not on the surface.
Do you have any life support mods, or is he safe indefinitely?

that makes no sense?

Alright you fucking kike.

It does. Retroarch doesn't work just as some program that can boot-up emulators. It has it's own packages and therefor emulators might work better or worse. In the case of Desume it works miles better.

No mods (apart from mechjeb). I used the remaining fuel to park him in a nice, high, circular, equatorial orbit. He'll just have to chill there for a couple of years.

VCMI a shit, it will be never like HoMM3 by it's author design choices.
Just Wine normal HoMM3

in case you guys didn't see yet, there is
Darkwood

spoopy top down exploring game, pretty cool
you explore during the day, and need to survive the night in your shelter
the atmosphere is top notch, you have a limited field of vision,
everything is pretty spootacular and story is very on the eerie bizarro side of things

the devs even made a public available torrent,
but I got one for linux from private trackers if you guys are interested.

oh shit i remember the kickstarter(?) for that thing a several years back! so does that mean it's finally out now?

This sounds interesting user, can you drop it?

I don't, literally only heard about past week, and it indeed came out
gameplay is pretty much the same as that video but way more polished out
really good if you're for some spoops, there isn't a freak piano or little kid with you though

how would I go about, I can seed it no problem, but what tracker is safe to use for user?

i set up a new server for the xonotic thread
in fact newb night is in effect right now, so if you want to try xonotic, join now
sorry for blatant shilling

The DHT network should do it fine anyway iirc but if you are the single seeder your IP will be revealed to any peer so use a proxy or VPN

If you don't have one this one should work cryptostorm.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=6931

where do you think we are.jpeg?

where you the same user I replied to in the share thread?
short story, no, DHT wouldn't work unless we have a cross over of peers

anyway here it is:

Ah yeah freudian slip I suppose I was also too lazy to jank my current URL and just copied a sub forum one

short story, no, DHT wouldn't work unless we have a cross over of peers

Nah I am not, as I understood it the limiting factor would be that the hashtable would slowly propagate not that you necessary need a common peer.

Thanks user

OpenArena is better tho.

I wish Terraria's GNU port wasn't such a piece of shit. I find it interesting that Stardew Valley runs great when it too is a Mono game.

Wow son level up.

Nice keyboard, are you anxious about the day you'll have to finally replace it like I am?

The station never ends

C/C++ or gtfo faggots.

Not really, already replaced it.
That keyboard didn't play nice with my KVM switch and linux so I ditched it.
For some reason it takes a good while to become functional after flipping the KVM switch.
Only feature I miss about it is the windows key lock to prevent you from accidentally tabbing out of a game.
Backlight looks flashy but it is a waste for me since I always use my PC in a reasonably well lit environment to reduce eye strain and never had a problem figuring out where buttons were.

I am anxious about upgrading my motherboard though, took me a good while to setup everything, migrating my current configuration to new hardware would be quite a chore.

...

Javafag here.

I don't miss C/C++.

Rust is interesting, though.

Why even play games when you can spend your time debuggig your operating system insted?

WINE on FreeBSD seems fucked. I kept getting errors trying to run games that I know for a fact should work flawlessly.

why even create a thread about linux games and then never talk about games but about OS and other shit instead, perhaps it's true that linux has no games

don't dislike linuxfags or even gonna say W10 us not a spybox, but man it feels lame when you are willing to cling to anything that gives you validation, even a fake as fuck video

UNIX is so fun compared to Winblows that you'll stop playing games and just dick around in your OS instead.

That part is where suspension of disbelief falls apart for me. Everyone knows Windows is too shit to support jumbo frames :^)

It's interesting until you realize it will only ever be a hobbydev lang with Z E R O footing in the industry.

...

Nice memes, but the FreeBSD ecosystem is objectively better than the Linux ecosystem.

Better at taking it up the ass from Apple, perhaps.

Right, because FreeBSD is Apple's bitch. Oh wait, no it's not.

Meanwhile, Linux takes it from Red Hat like a cock-hungry whore.

Apple cucks code from FreeBSD and puts it in their proprietary OS. BSDrones are just crypto-Applefags tbh.

You aren't forced to use RHEL or any of Harry Poettering's garbageware if you don't want to, though.

How does that affect FreeBSD in any way?
Just like you aren't forced to buy a laptop with Windows preinstalled. The fact that you can theoretically avoid the poison doesn't make the ecosystem any less poisoned.

Anyone tried rpcs3 on linux?
It is still a work in progress, but I am surprised it managed to get demon's souls and persona 5 running reasonably well.
The only major problem I encountered was L3 and R3 on an xbone controller being recognised by the emulator itself but not being mapped, writing a custom config file as described on their site doesn't seem to do anything.

I don't care to game on linux but I need video editing software. Tried shotcut and openshot, can't seem to figure it out. All I need to do is cut some footage.

thread derailment achieved/10

some actual vidya…
anybody got somewhat recent-ish CK2 with dlc for linux?

I like kdenlive for editing, but simple cutting can do easily with ffmpeg or some dumb frontend

Check for refurbished off lease business desktops without an OS. I found one store in my area that has stacks of thinkcenters, intel Gsomething or other processor 4gigs DDR3 RAM, 320gig HDD for 40-50$ bucks. Occasionally they have better stuff like an i5 with 8gigs DDR3 RAM, I snagged one for 120$, put a GT1030 gpu and made that my work and play loonix machine.

It can be somewhat fun if you want to test out distros for real on "bare metal". For example, for myself I found that one of the most rock solid distro I've used, is an *buntu 14.04 based with XFCE. I'll say again
*buntu 14.04 with XFCE is one of the most rock solid setup I've ever tried, even compared to *buntu 16.04. I hope to fuck 18.04 LTS will be more like 14.04, because 16.04 still sucks sweaty donkeyballs imo
Currently trying out some rolling distros, unfortunately I have yet to find one that is relatively trouble free.
No I mean show stopping problems on my test machine. Not being able to reliably boot up (Solus), Firefox hard freezing crash by just clicking to launch it (Antergos), or just not user friendly enough yet or still has some papercut issues (Geckolinux).
Meh, maybe. It's no spring chicken, one of the last intel made mobo, a core2quad 8gigs RAM and a gt730 card.

Running the installer with /nogui works for some games, try that.
At the very least if it pukes the console has less GUI garbage to shift through.

Also, for some strange reason i cant rotate the damn camera.

First of all, you're a fucking dumbass.
Second, if you're going to insist on doing that like a retard, use VMWare instead. I've seen videos where a dumb faggot like yourself managed to get that not!Overwatch game to run at 30fps. VMWare lets you bump up the VRAM allotted to the VM more, and is likely better programmed to handle shit like this.
Third, if you're going to play shit like this and it doesn't work in WINE, you ought to either invest in a second hard drive to dual-boot, or the hardware necessary to do that VT-d virtualization bullshit.
Fourth, you're a fucking dumbass.

this guy knows the truth
have you even tried running that in wine?

hgg

Been replaying Marathon. Good shit.

this is why the penguin OS doesnt have games, user.

Whats with all the win7 emulation? Even if it doesn't work on wine out of the box, is it really that hard to make an account and create an entry for it so people can help?

Assault Cube was my favorite freeware FPS for the longest time, but nobody plays it anymore. People would make their own maps and clans, but most of them are lost.

My favorite mode was One Shot One Kill. Everybody had sniper rifles, and everybody would die in one shot.

>Not just having another computer for the express purpose of running games on Windows

Really makes me think.

I remember having fun playing Sauerbraten, but I'm a bigger fan of Quake and friends more.

only problem is the viewmodels are not tested at high FOV and look like shit

Try Urban Terror then.

The most popular one right now on distro watch is Linux Mint. Not a bad place to start if you're a begginer.

Figure out how to use a VM and give a few distros a spin, it's not hard at all, just whatever you do, NEVER dual-boot! What a fucking hassle that was, I don't understand how anyone can deal with that. Even if you're computer boots instantly, the constant switching just to play videogames and then not having access to half your files is the worst.

Pretty nice. Definitely if you ever get a new PC, try installing linux on the old one
and test running windows in a VM with passthrough so you can have the freedom of linux AND your videogames.

GOG Va1-ha11-a works on WINE, but anyone got the native version? Doesn't work in VM but WINE is a-okay, who'd have fucking guessed.

Who /dwarffortress/ here?
I'm on gentoo, I'm too lazy to do it myself but I wonder how much the usual rice (i.e -march=native on USEFLAGS) helps with performance.

Going through Thief2 via WINE. I don't think I like it as much as the first game.

They've actually been making good progress as of late. Been following the project since the days of Windows 2k source code leaks. It has taken a long time but you can finally run a lot of software on it. Too bad Linux with GPU passthrough is 100% better. I am excited about it for other applications though. I have legacy hardware in my printing shop that needs Windows 3.11/DOS machines to run properly. I could rig up something in Linux but it's just easier to throw the native OS on an old 486 or 386.

Yeah both ReactOS and WINE have been making huge leaps lately.
Now we just need that progress to apply to good videogames, not the newest AAAtrash like overwatch and gta5.

...

So it's an inferior OS then.

It's usually fixed by just touching some settings. There's definitely skill, but every major distro's sucking Red Hat's cock too much to promote alternatives.

Is it basically Xonotic with bigger maps and untextured polygons?
I don't mind new experimental games made for fun but if it's an arena shooter then it needs players, and player fragmentation sucks ass.

Terminal Overload is based off the ancient freeware shooter Cats: Revenge of the Ethernet that was shut down a few years ago and then forked into Terminal

For what purpose? If you're gonna blacklist your GPU and a monitor from your OS, why not just dual boot? You got some sorta slow as hell boot? If you cant be bothered to block out microsoft telemetry but you can be bothered to go through 100 hoops to passthrough, whats the point. I'm not trying to be a dick, I legitimately want to know why

god dammit gpu virtualization on consumer cards when, those AMD pajeets were leading people on to thinking it was gonna be with vega, but it sure wasnt

Of course. Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, Witcher 3, Snake Pass, Far Cry 4, Just Cause 3, among others. They all work flawlessly. My free operating system is Windows 7 by the way. Really easy to get for free. Same with all the games I listed.

Any recommendations for a Linux LAN party?
it's for a Linux user group so no wangblows games

Super Tux Cart

it's more like 6-7 steps, and once it's done it stays done
blocking telemetry and keeping it blocked seems much more difficult unless you're using a dedicated IPS/UTM device

Myth

...

This is all because english is gay and doesn't have a word for "something with liberty".
I don't know the historical reason but how the fuck did people associate priceless with having freedom?

Any Source game
Natural Selection 2, ARMA 3 and Distance

If you ask me, conventionally Xonotic favors constrained areas because of the way the core weapons are designed e.g wallbangs, ricocheting grenades, splash damage, bouncy electromines become less effective or prominent in wide open areas. So bigger and wide open maps (judging by screencap) is not very like Xonotic.
There's just a lot of mods or mutators (e.g Instagib which is essentially a generic mod present in just about every afps game, Overkill) that try to redirect the focus to hitscan (those weapons favoring wide open areas with lines of sight) and lowering the amount of hits to kill for accessibility or familiarity to modern gamers.

pic slightly related

Thanks to this thread, I installed Xonotic and I had a fucking blast.
Go play Xonotic

Literally anything by iD up to Quake Live. That and any Quake Engine games.

Specifically the Elite Force games and Jedi Knight II. They both have Linux ports, though Elite Force only has the multiplayer working.

I just tried Sleeping Dogs in wine-staging-2.17 and it works more or less although the highest Anti-Aliasing setting doesn't seem to work and crashes the game when applying the setting. Performance is mediocre with ~30fps at medium settings with CSMT compared to 60fps on the same hardware using Win7.

But it's nice to see DirectX11 support maturing in wine.

CPU: Quad core AMD Phenom II X4 955 (-MCP-) cache: 2048 KB clock speeds: max: 3600 MHz 1: 3616 MHz 2: 3616 MHz 3: 3616 MHz 4: 3616 MHzGraphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn PRO [Radeon HD 7850 / R7 265 / R9 270 1024SP] Display Server: X.Org 1.17.4 driver: radeon Resolution: [email protected] OpenGL: renderer: AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.50.0 / 4.13.3-gentoo, LLVM 3.9.1) version: 4.5 Mesa 17.3.0-devel (git-5666d3e3e5)

btw how are the bots in Xonotic nowadays?

The stock bots aren't so great which is why the Holla Forums servers have customized bot parameters. For the difficulties, the stock bots' behavior tends towards balling together in a room shooting each other with shotguns whereas Holla Forums bots will typically move around the map for items and weapons.

how come FPS is pretty much the only genre that takes freedoms seriously?

idTech engine being free and open source.

What is the point of ReactOS when GNU+Wine can already run more old Windows software? I mean, is there anything you'd need a made from scratch Windows (2000) clone that you couldn't, at least theoretically, get working in Wine?

Last night was the first time I've fucked around with Wine in ages. Lot's of shit is working now. Pretty much everything I threw at it running under D3D9 ran, and even a few DX11 games work.

plenty more I just really barely know any

which strange game was that?

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD. Good game, And it went from bronze to platinum rated in a couple releases. Throw Gallium 9 into the mix, and it plays like a native port

Then again with G9 it's more native than the shit we get from Feral, VP and Aspire.

If anything, fighting games are seriously lacking in the Free Software department, or even Linux in general (except for fightcade I guess). Ikemen is supossedly open source but it has no linux port that I know of, and the west still prefers to use Mugen.

Is darkwood any good?

Anyone know what might slow down a GPU when using PCI passthrough?
>arch openrc, asus motherboard, fx-8350, gtx 750, and windows 7 and xp for guest oses as well as linux mint for testing shit

Use a search engine to find what tools to use to do a complete wipe of your guest's GPU drivers and test with a variety of older and newer drivers.

Failing that, try setting up a new windows install on a newly created image and see if it is still acts up.
I had a similar issue where 3D applications running in my VM would exhibit microstutter and for some reason reinstalling the OS on a new image resolved it.

I don't know if the RAM's transfer rate in a VM could be a culprit in this as well but it might be worth investigating.

I have been playing Sauerbraten lately, again after many years.
Anything else worth trying?

is that the one free/open sandbox fighting game where you can have all sorts of characters from every fucking place?
I was trying to remember what the shit that was, I remember because I played with some weird DBz and some hentai in it

just don't, dual booting is really fucking simple

The Arch OpenRC project has been deprecated as well, development has moved to Artix.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant. I installed it before it was deprecated and the repos just migrated.

I end up never using it, and I don't like having to drop everything I'm doing for one game. Also

its not about that, for all possible ways to get gaming going while still using linux, VM are amongst the worst ways
you literally have to install and run a system within another system, which from the get go is already one problem,
next you have to share hardware (the whole gpu passthrough) which is another problem

installing windows alone is already a fucking hassle, so might as well just separate a small partition for it a dual boot,
but of course that is only one option, wine works wonders for a lot of games and apps, and when it doesn't work out of the box there is good chance you will find workaround
