This is a really good introduction.

Mhm wait a moment, Final Fantasy 14 is not free, its subscription based.

Its again one of those times when I lost 100% on Steam. I already own the game, so cannot make savings by getting it free, therefore I lost the money that I would have saved. If this keeps happening I am broke very soon.

Just a clarification in case someone sees this comment after the time expired: The game is free to keep if you get it before 10th July. It's just a typo in this postings title.

RIP for those who was still playing this. I tried the game a few years back on Game Pass (or was it a different service?) where I could try it without paying extra. Played 1 or 2 hours or so. It was an okay experience for a disaster game, but got bored quickly. The controls are actually really good and is the reason why this game can be played at all.

I’d rather fix the problems incase it’s a weird config I have going.

You have the perfect Linux user mindset. I am not saying this as an offense, rather a compliment. :-) I am also someone who investigates and searches the reason and solution of problems.

Recently I had an issue for months, before its stable now (AMD on Linux, but with a specific game Marvel Rivals). The issue was so bad that I got multiple crashes per game session or match even. And either my method or the updates to the game, to the Linux core and drivers fixed it, or a combination of it. What I want to say is, maybe its an issue with the software or as you say, a configuration issue. So trying and finding a workaround might be worth it. Especially if you are happy with Nividia otherwise.

It's depressing how dominant Nvidia.

Not only Capcom.

Thank you, I take it.

PS patterns offer vendor lock-in. ;-)

Does it? Is is native or is it a plugin maybe, you forgot that its a plugin. Or if this is true, maybe the importing was removed in v3 until the re-implemented it? Official announcement part is here: https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/06/23/gimp-3-1-2-released/#photoshop-patterns I am sure if it was already supported, they would have said anything about it.

Looking through the documentation for legacy version 2.10, I found following part: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-patterns.html

Caution

Do not confuse GIMP-generated .pat files with files created by other programs (e.g. Photoshop) – after all, .pat is just a part of an (arbitrary) file name.

(However, GIMP does support Photoshop .pat files until a certain version.)

Looks like v2.10 did not support Photoshop Pattern officially. But it supported it in prior versions (not sure when they stopped).

I just lost 100% on Steam, because I already have the game in my library and could not claim it for savings.
