There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube to walk you through installing all the major linux distros. And distros like mint are pretty streamlined now. It's pretty straight forward. And there's a good community here that is always willing to help.

You always had the choice to install Linux, and still do. Dont let them control your PC.

Have they changed the game a lot since launch? When I was watching the reviews of it, everyone made it seem like you have to have a cohesive party all working together and using their skills properly and the game is impossible solo.

I have been wanting to play this game since it was announced. However, I prefer single player games. I know this game is designed for 3 players, but I read that they were going to add 2 player and maybe single player support. have they made it any better for us loners? I don't really want to play with randoms either.

EDIT: thanks the input everyone! Looks like I'll be picking up the game at some point since they are balancing the game for different players.

I have been wanting one since these were released. My old Asus laptop from 2016 is still kicking, so I guess I'll wait till it craps the bed.

I had the same question a while back. It's not throttling, it's just worded weird. I turned off that message in mangohud and never had issues

What you got against Cold Play?

[–] WeebLife@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Temperatures closer to 100c and over are worrisome. But it depends on the environment and if it's a laptop or desktop. Laptops run hotter, that desktops and its normal for them to be in the 80s for either GPU or CPU. As for usage percents. GPU usage should almost always be close to 100% for graphically Intense games, but there are variables such as resulotion and frame rate. Looking at your numbers you posted, I don't see an immediate reason why it would be crashing so soon. The temps and usages were fine, so that would lead me to suspect software.

And did you try proton experimental?

[–] WeebLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Those numbers are pretty normal. Especially if the game is compiling shaders. But 71c on the CPU is a little warm 2s after starting the game.

[–] WeebLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Yes it is. And you can look up a video on how to install it too. There isn't a GUI, just a text editor. And you set launch parameters for it to show up in steam. Or lutris has the option for it in settings.

I have almost the exact setup you have, except the RAM and I'm using heroic launcher. I have no issues with CP 2077 My go to with game issues is to monitor the components in game. Install mangohud, configure the OSD to show CPU temps, gpu temps, clocks and also usage. That will help narrow down if the issue is hardware or software.

Awesome! Glad that it worked.

I updated my post with the solution I found. Try that and see if it helps

I have been using the hoyoplay launcher for a long time with no issues. I installed it through steam and it ran perfectly until they released the latest update for the launcher. I updated the launcher and now it won't launch through steam, lutris or heroic. In steam, the launcher will popup for a split second then close. In lutris and Heroic launcher it will launch to a black screen. I found that other ppl are having the same issue and some said that I need to install web view 2 through bottles. I installed web view 2 through bottles, I launched hoyoplay launcher in bottles, and finally it works.... Or so I thought. The launcher works properly in bottles, I was able to link my games but when I click start game the launcher will close for a second, then pop back up. It doesn't actually launch the game. I even verified the game files through the launcher but that didn't work. Not sure what to do at this point. I also tried just running the game exe itself but it says it needs the launcher to play..

Other things I've tried is using a variety of different runners in the different launchers - wine, proton etc. I even booted up my windows to go USB drive, installed the launcher, then transferred the files to my Linux PC and no luck

EDIT: I got Genshin Impact to work. The launcher still doesn't work in steam, but I found the right exe that will launch Genshin without the launcher. Go to the install folder "Genshin Impact" then go to the folder "Genshin Impact Game." Launch the Genshinimpact.exe in which ever launcher. It works in steam with proton experimental. So my solution right now is to use bottles to update/install the games then just launch the individual game exe in steam. This works for Genshin and ZZZ. I'm sure it will work for the other games.

 

All my steam games that support dlss work with it, but my games using the heroic games launcher don't even show the option for DLSS in the game menu. I tried researching it but didn't have too much luck with finding a solution. I found one post saying that proton uses dlss by default, I'm using proton experimental but it still doesn't show up.

Heroic launcher is nice but I have had such a hard time enabling features like dlss and mangohud on it.

I'm using Linux mint 22.1.

EDIT: I fixed the issue. There is an option in heroic called "auto install/update DXVK-NVAPI on prefix" I had to enable it in the global settings and on the specific game. DLSS works now with frame gen.

I still have yet to get mangohud working with heroic tho

EDIT 2: I got mangohud to work with heroic. I had to use version 23.08

Looking for recommendations for good ear protection during concerts. I want ear buds that don't just muffle all the sound but limit higher unsafe frequencies while allowing you to still enjoy the music. I did a search and came up with a bunch of different kinds and varying reviews on amazon, I also asked my friend who is in the live audio business and he said I needed custom molded IEMs but that seemed a little over kill for me, even if it's the best way.

This Site shows the common ones I've seen.

Thanks!

EDIT: thanks everyone for the reaponses, I will go through and look at each of the recommended solutioms works best for me.
