GOverlay for editing MangoHud gets a new Steam Deck friendly UI
1 Dec 2021 at 4:21 am UTC

Quoting: TheRiddickYou know it appears to me the default Cube render to the right does not have overlay present unless it is enabled globally beforehand.. I suggest making sure it sets the environmental variables correctly on program launch.

Some users were reporting this behavior, the package goverlay-git on the AUR had a script to launch the program correctly, just today i discover that the package goverlay-bin also on the AUR was lacking that script. But it's already fixed. Check the contents of the file /usr/bin/goverlay,

it should be something like this.

#!/bin/sh
# This script will launch the compiled goverlay binary the correct way
#
# QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb will force the application to run in x11 mode, so it works on wayland desktops.
# mangohud --dlsym will force the mangohud display on the spinning cube on goverlay.
# --style fusion will make sure the interface doesn't break in diferent DE and QT themes.

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
mangohud --dlsym @libexecdir@/goverlay --style fusion

Thanks guys ! The UI works fine on plasma but there're currently some problems with Gnome. It seems the new UI always relies on the light-theme version of the desktop, even if you are using the dark one. That breaks the interface... i'm working in a fix for 0.7.1 soon.

I think that's big ! Until now, we only saw indies and small games making steam deck videos on twitter. A official video from a AAA studio may get the attencion of others.

Love Sonic? Check out the Sonic 30th Anniversary Bundle

Sonic was my favorite franchise when i was a child (90s kid). Such a charismatic character, but the formula doesn't resisted the transition to 3D... at least, sega couldn't deliver it.

That's great news ! the year of wayland on desktop is finally here. But i still have lots of problems on Plasma, it kinda works, but not very well.

Lutris game manager gets a second Beta for version 0.5.9 with Epic Store support
8 Sep 2021 at 3:18 am UTC

Quoting: strycore
Quoting: dubigrasuThe Epic Games section shows nothing though. The login went OK, I did a reload, but still nothing.
The other sections (Humble, GOG/etc) are OK, the games are showing.
In console I get:
Failed to load EGS library: 'access_token'
EGS is not installed in Lutris


Do I need to manually install EGS in order to activate the Epic section?
You'll need an EGS install to run games but the login process and getting the library in lutris shouldn't require it.
Still looks like you're having an issue with the EGS token that is unrelated to the client itself.
I also got into errors trying to login into EGS.

Failed to connec to EGS (Status 400): {'errorCode': 'errors.com.epicgames.accountportal.parameter_required', 'message': 'Parameter "country" is required', 'correlationId': '14cbbff0-1053-11ec-a009-d7e40e9fd3fc'}

GOverlay just got an awesome update to make editing MangoHud even easier

I have to take sometime to study flatpak/snap packaging. Those that aren't on Arch based distros can download the latest binary and start goverlay with:

mangohud --dlsym ./goverlay --style fusion

Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton

If steamdeck proves to be a huge sucess, maybe there'll be a demand to optimize performance for the steamdeck, this might create a new wave of native linux ports.
