Diagnose system crash during gameplay? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Temps are absolutely fine and sometimes the game crashes immediately before anything can even get hot. Only happens with Horizon. All other games run fine.

I only just bought a new PSU to go with the GPU upgrade. It's 850W so should be more than enough power. Just seems odd that it's only an issue with one game.

Most but not all sadly.

Diagnose system crash during gameplay? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm trying to play Horizon Zero Dawn on OpenSUSE TW but every 10 minutes or so my entire system crashes leaving me with both monitors displaying a green screen and forcing me to pull the plug on my PC. This appears to be the only game with the issue. I've tried multiple versions of Proton including GE but all suffer from the same crashes. How do I go about diagnosing the issue?

PC specs are if relevant are:

i7-4790K

AMD 5700XT

32GB RAM

2TB nvme SSD

It definitely isn't energy efficient. I installed Signal as an SMS app out of curiosity when I first degoogled but the battery drain was insanely high and the highest of all my apps.

If all you're only using GPS for notifications why login at all?

I really hope so.

No I just sold them. They weren't worth the price.

The overear headphones. The ANC just made no difference.

I bought some Sony XM4s because I'd heard this theory before but I found noise cancelling barely makes a difference.

Come back to me when Apple openly let's you sideload apps on an iPhone.

Scanning a QR is a lot quicker than signing into an account though.

Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming? in c/[email protected]

AMD is marginally easier but Nvidia is a lot better than people make out. The drivers install with one command in most distros.

Controller driver issues (feddit.uk)
 

Hi guys,

An interesting issue here that I wonder if anyone will have a solution to. I have quite a varied controller collection that I like to swap between somewhat regularly. My go to at the moment is the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro which is plug and play with no issues. Another controller that I occasionally like to use is the GameSir G7 and this controller doesn't work at all out of the box in Linux. To get the G7 to work I have to install xone, but in doing so the Flydigi stops working entirely.

Is there a happy medium in terms of controller drivers or am I better off just choosing one controller and sticking with it?

Sahder caching takes hours? (feddit.uk)
 

Hi guys.

I've finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam's shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I'm still unable to play any games.

This wasn't an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I'm assuming something in Proton must've changed?
