Quoting: LordDaveTheKindI used to use gpu-screen-recorder but it had 2 issues for me. It made the video files with variable framerate, which caused issues with kdenlive to edit those. Audio went out of sync. Though i think thats fixed now. The second thing was the missing multi-track audio recording. I like to capture game, desktop and discord as multiple audio tracks, which can be easily done with OBS and its pipewire plugin.Quoting: XpanderNot much perf loss with that, but the Screen Capture (XSHM) is awful when GPU is nearly fully utilized, whole desktop starts to lag. NvFBC was the best to record entire screen without any significant perf drop.On my NVidia I use gpu-screen-recorder [External Link] in replacement of NvFBC as it gave me a huge performance boost.

No info about when Nvfbc will be supported again?
This was the stupidest change ever made with v28. Breaking nvfbc :(
Xcomposite is fine for window capturing. Not much perf loss with that, but the Screen Capture (XSHM) is awful when GPU is nearly fully utilized, whole desktop starts to lag. NvFBC was the best to record entire screen without any significant perf drop.
I'm still using the downgraded v27 because of that.

Shatterline doesn't need the protonfix since the R66 game update. Devs fixed the issues on their side with it.
The only remaining issue is that the steam overlay doesnt work with the game (Unless you use gamescope) which makes it impossible to buy ingame items with real money.
First fix was the d3dcompiler_47 issue with EAC kick. They included the dll with the game.
Second fix was the win10 using RIO sockets that are not supported by wine.

Hi All, today we updated the game with a version without RIO sockets, it works well now on Steam Deck and I hope it will work without setting win7 now on Linux as well

Maybe the devs just don't want that huge of an attention currenly with the game being still in work in progress state. They might be happy enough with the current situation about the money. The fans will buy the game anyway and they get some feedback to work towards the fully feature complete game and then maybe one day they release it on steam to get more attention. My thoughts on that.
Linux user share on Steam continues the slow climb, SteamOS rises

This looks a bit strange. If you look the combined stats, then Arch Linux is the most used and SteamOS is nowhere to be seen. When you check Linux only then SteamOS is taking the first spot.
I wonder why is that?

Lutris adds Amazon Games integration, plus Flatpak finally out (good for Steam Deck)

I didn't even know that there are Amazon Games, until very recently. That was quite a shock news to me. So its another launcher cause we really needed more of those?
Good to see support for all those launchers i guess though.

NVIDIA Vulkan Beta Driver 515.49.14 out now
28 Aug 2022 at 7:44 am UTC
does manjaro have mkinitcpio?
Thats the place that hooks up modules early on boot at least for Arch/Arch-based distros.
Basically command
edit: Then again, manjaro seems to invent their own bicycle with many things, which break the compatibility with Arch/AUR packages.

Quoting: PirolisiIt works, if I had to bet ,I guess was this modification that makes the difference GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0"That is strange. Manjaro trying to default to nouveau? or doesn't add the nvidia modules into startup or something?
does manjaro have mkinitcpio?
xpander@archlinux ~ $ grep MODULES= /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=(hid-logitech-hidpp nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm it87)Thats the place that hooks up modules early on boot at least for Arch/Arch-based distros.
Basically command
mkinitcpio -P should check and list the modules for all kernels but that should be done automatically when you install new nvidia packages/kernels but just in case can always manually run.edit: Then again, manjaro seems to invent their own bicycle with many things, which break the compatibility with Arch/AUR packages.

That mhwd fuckery... :sad:
It works flawlessly here.. kernel header package is needed for it to be able to compile the modules.
Maybe someone with manjaro can help you with that, but it seems that distro is doing something differently with the packages, which is why you are getting problems
