Quoting: Anza

Quoting: Oet_ 
Engine version: q2rtx 1.6.0-HEAD-701cf31, built on Jan 20 2022

Quake II RTX won't start:
********************
FATAL: No ray tracing capable GPU found.
********************

I have an AMD Radeon 6900XT and this works:
$ vulkaninfo
What am I missing here?

I was able to launch the game. First of all, I updated Mesa to 21.3.4 (raytracing support is relatively new, so better to have up to date Mesa, not sure if I should update kernel too). Next I added RADV_PERFTEST=rt %command% to the games launch options.

That was the good news. I get 10 FPS and graphics are very buggy. There's just few big triangles and some garbage.

Not that the vulkaninfo output shows lot of raytracing related extensions:
VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPipelineFeaturesKHR:
----------------------------------------------
        rayTracingPipeline                                    = true
        rayTracingPipelineShaderGroupHandleCaptureReplay      = false
        rayTracingPipelineShaderGroupHandleCaptureReplayMixed = false
        rayTracingPipelineTraceRaysIndirect                   = false
        rayTraversalPrimitiveCulling                          = false

Think you need to use the prop vulkan driver for full support but dont quote me on that

Don't know why but every time I see Quake II RTX reminds of the phrase " Mutton dressed as Lamb" :wink:

Quoting: GustyGhostNo binary is offered to host a server and, in my book, if you can't run it on bare metal you can't run "your own server". I would be much more inclined to call Discord's instances more appropriately as chatrooms.

My point was that for 99.9% of gamers/Clans it's far easier thus why it's so popular.

Quoting: GustyGhostI like it's simplicity and self-hostability

Just their is the other reason as to why Discord is preferred, Most people don't have a home server. Yes you can use a RPI but I think many forget that most don't have the knowledge or where for all to set up murmur let alone a server.

People forget, 25 odd years ago we would have been seen as super geeks in the eyes of most.

Quoting: pete910Ah, the discord streaming thingy, Must admit when I've tried it it's always been a bit meh . Not a Nitro member though so low res only.

I don't have nitro either but sometimes use the standard thing to show someone something.

The only issue I have is that it's such a crap res/bit rate, don't really recall if the audio worked for me or not in the past. Having said that, I've not used more than a handful of times. Even my windows mates don't do it that often due to issues.

I just stick to OBS via twitch or YT, Shame as the discord streaming can be handy on occasion.

Quoting: midget_3111it doesn't use NVENC when capturing, so if you're using an Nvidia GPU and try to screenshare it causes everything to stutter.

Get an AMD card for that OSS goodness :tongue:

I wish I could afford one 😭

Was Lucky, Got mine from AMD last Feb foor £600. Which i think even thats over priced

The prices that the AIB's/E-Tailers are charging are just ridiculous, Should all be investigated for profiteering and fined double what their earnings was for the year!

Trouble is whilst I agree Mumble is great, Discord wins with gamers with the fact you can pretty much do what a clan needs/wants, Chats/voip/streamimg ect. (Streaming bit needs work though)

It's also easier to do your own server.

Personally used to like team speak.

Quoting: TheRiddickNow if someone could make a plugin for discord to fix the streaming and no audio issue.

Have to ask, What issues are you having? Discord's audio has never been a problem with OBS ect for me personally. Or do you mean within windows ?

Nitro does not capture game audio. OBS is a separate app outside of discord which does not hook up into discord for its screen sharing function (which doesn't capture audio under Linux).

Quoting: wytrabbitSo this doesn't interfere with or modify the Discord client in any way? I'm concerned with my account being banned.

Nope! I've been using it and it's predecessor for about 2 years now!

It might not have banned me, but when my kid started using it we got issues with discord not accepting our IP for a few hours every few hours. (3 accounts from the same ip address). When my kid stopped using it issues stopped as well.

They probably knew who their dad was ! :grin:
