Quoting: pageWould be nice if you can add NixOS to the distro list :) Bonus points if you also display an 'others' bar that groups the outliers that don't fit, so we can get an idea without having to check the full statistics and do the math.

Added the ability to group together everything outside Top 10 for charts that don't have an "Other" option, let me know if there's any weirdness.

NixOS has also now been added.

Sorry for the late reply, spreading myself thin across many things often causes delays.

I've also thought about adding an option to display graphs on a log scale as well. It might be useful for some of them, although making it default might confuse some people :)

Quoting: 14Well, since I've been playing Overwatch, I have to change my Wine answer. :)

Well, since I got it as part of the Humble Monthly, I had figured I'd try it, but it doesn't seem to run with Lutris. How did you do?

Quoting: WorMzyLooks cool! I wonder how many input bugs it has on Linux though. :P

You can only move to the left, FIGHT!

I hate running leftwards™

They might need to improve the look of the projectiles a bit in the first person, but other than that it's looking pretty good!

I hope they can turn it into a nice game, and publish it. Would love to play!

Yeah, that's what swap is for, but I agree it could be handled better. The OOM kill usually helps in that case (sysrq [External Link]+F).

In my experience, it's worse if you don't have swap at all, as the heap of running programs will be flushed and need to be reloaded later from the disk.
Swap on compressed memory ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zramswap/ [External Link] ) helps me a bit with that issue. RAM is just damn too expensive right now :'(

Quoting: GuestMan this update went live a bit too soon for me...Considering it introduced a very serious crash/bug that is so incredibly bad it freezes my entire system. EVERYTHING. Even my keyboard drivers freeze... I'm thinking it might be more of a driver issue than an issue with the game though, which is concerning.

https://forums.planetaryannihilation.com/threads/client-freeze-crash-after-few-minutes-of-gameplay-on-linux-manjaro.73180/ [External Link]

This is worrying, but I hope it can be fixed. It would be nice to provide a dmesg log after you alt-f4, and maybe provide a log after a complete crash. Can you still SSH in? If so, you can usually recover the system in such a state trough sysrq (sysrq + R, then switch to another TTY with alt+F? would be a good start, or sysrq+E (sysrq+K might be better) to go back to the login screen -- you might need to manually enable some of these before).

Note that the keyboard drivers are in-kernel, so if they crash/freeze, that means the kernel has crashed/frozen.

sudo bash -c "echo 'blacklist hid_steam' > /etc/modprobe.d/sc.conf"

how about making it

echo blacklist hid_steam | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/sc.conf

Instead? Does it make it simpler?

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoThere is an annoying issue on PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2019... The game crashes every time it connects to the online server.

I've got the same problem here. By the way, did you managed to get it full screen, or do you know how to launch the settings.exe by chance?. I only got a demo, but I consider buying it when above issues will be eventually resolved.

Didn't try to launch the settings.exe. I was running it in Windowed mode, but in PekWM, I can maximize the window to match the full screen resolution. Yes, I still have those white borders, but It's a minor issue for me. I'm also waiting those fixes to buy to full version of the game. What impressed me most it the PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2019 runs much better than the 2018 one.

Anything related to online play is probably this bug. I'm hoping for it to be fixed so that I can sink several hundred hours into Killing Floor 2, shamelessly ignoring my previous disdain for the way Tripwire treated us loyal penguins.

I'm shallow like that, some times.

I'm glad to know it's already a known issue, maybe they are working to fix it.

Mmm... Battlerite hasn't been working for me either, due to a network issue as well. However, it seemed to me that the problem was in the steam library bridge as used by proton (the networking part of those). I didn't post a detailed bug report, but I will as soon as I regain access to my computer which has the logs (might be a few days...). That kind of bug could actually explain a lot of these networking problems.

Edit: already reported here [External Link].
Relevant log part:
steamnetworkingsockets.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
  in module steamnetworkingsockets.dll at 0023:0bcba797.

It would be interesting to see whether those games use (/ship) the same library.

Quoting: unduJust tried it, in-game UI is still garbled on Mesa's AMD drivers.

And all support tells me is to use the proprietary drivers. :/

I tried PA (non-titans) a few days back (with Mesa), everything was garbage in-game,but the UI was working fine in the main menu.

The old fix was adding --software-ui to the launch options. it might be worth it to try spoofing another GPU brand as well (maybe there are some unneeded workarounds for Mesa that cause issues, it wouldn't be the first time).

Quoting: GuestIt would be nice if they ported their old OpenGl games to Vulkan. And also finish up their buggy vulkan renderer in Mad Max.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided would probably see significant gains by switching to vulkan.

I played through Madmax entirely on Vulkan and only encountered a few minor issues. Wouldn't exactly call that buggy.

It might help for Deus Ex though. That's probably the most system hungry game they did so far and the only one that is unplayable for me on 3440x1440. That said, it is especially hard on the GPU, so not sure if it would help that much for my particular case.

When i played Mad Max the game would lock on me a lot while using vulkan. I had to reboot to get the PC to work again. This is the only game using vulkan that had this effect.

That sort of stuff shouldn't happen at all (the game might lock up, not your system), have you checked your drivers, and/or reported the issue?

Quoting: Whitewolfe80question on mesa performance and mad max i have a 4gb rx 550 being used on friend windows build. He has decided he wants to try out linux but he gets about 55/60 fps at 1080p med on windows 10. I have no experience mesa under linux as i have always had nvidia cards what sort of frame rate should he expect i understand there will be some performance loss but will it tank it below a playable steady 30 fps ?

I really can't tell it as a general rule. Feral games tend to be 10-30% slower, other ports are usually on par, or around 10% slower. Results will vary depending on his CPU as well. In any case, he better use updated drivers (and kernel). If he wants to try Ubuntu, just adding the padoka PPA [External Link] should be fine (though also upgrading the kernel won't hurt, usually). He can try some of this on a live stick (though disk i/o might be slower).

Be wary, though: except things to work out of the box! :D

Mmm... Will it still use OpenAL? I quite like the fact that it supports HRTF...

Other than that, well done Ethan! I hope even more stuff will be working out of the box in the future! Although I didn't really get from the article whether that would be upstreamed in wine or not. (strike that, I can't read the comments, it seems)
