šŸŽ® What games are you playing?

Universe Simulator, this is a view of Saturn from just behind Titan where it is now.

Was playing a bit more NFS Most Wanted but had to take a break after this loss. Might add a bit of my music to the game first now that I’ve found a mod that does that nicely so I can just skip tracks in gam.

Not playing yet, but soon will be. I just purchased these. The Spring Sale at Steam is insane…

Nice, I’m going to have to get Resident Evil 3, especially at that low price

Beaten again by milliseconds. Wish my controller worked with this but it just acts like I’m pressing buttons when I’m not. Another thing I noticed in this race was NOS was being used even though I wasn’t pressing the key, a quick re-map fixed that. Think I might go back to High Stakes, I can play that with my eyes shut almost lol

already have 49hours gameplay on it, really been enjoying this game

Currently falling down a gaming-adjacent rabbit hole: installing, configuring, and then rage-quitting mod managers. Learning curves are pretty steep, docs and info missing or inconsistent, and then figuring out which mods actually work and weren’t written by 5kr1p7 k1dd335.

I’m a simple man, with simple needs. Most mods I’d like to install are QoL and not shader fiddling. But man oh man, the modding world is a real chaotic gumbo of parts, bits, and workflow.

I kind of liked Limo but documentation is sparse and it looks abandoned. Mod Organizer 2 is okay, once you can get it installed, but saying ā€œGo to Discord!ā€ for any documentation at all is a bridge too far. Haven’t even tried Vortex and the pre-installation instructions are so nightmarish I don’t want to make the attempt.

Manually tracking and installing mods takes time but it (a) forced me to read the instructions for each mod, (b) ofttimes would have user additions or updates on best practices, and (c) kept the number of mods to manageable quantities. (Typically fewer than fifteen.) For me, the primary benefit of managers is mod order; ain’t got time to fiddle around with testing load order on my games.

And after I get done with all that, do I really want to go through the grind in Fallout 4? Sigh.

I haven’t gone anywhere near that rabbit hole. No mods or configuring. Just Steam/Proton and play.

Currently playing Horizon Chase Turbo on Epic Games

Yer modding can be a bit tricky on linux for some games/mods.

Hopefully I’ll finish the game in my second try now. :slight_smile:

Nice, I love this series

I’m wanting to download this one again at some point to play it through with turn based, I much prefer it over the real time pause they use

X4 seems to be just about ripe, egosoft always releases these games half broken and incomplete and then fixes them up over years.

You’re gonna want the DLC tho.

Well 3 cans of OP rum seemed to do the trick

Installed the latest dolphin emulator using git clone as in am not a big fan of flatpak. Boy o boy what a improvements on rogue leader :heart_eyes:. 2 months ago it had a huge issue with the hoth map or prison of maw. Those maps got increased with over 50% for me. Stable 60fps on my acer notebook while the last time it was between 30-60 fps unstable fps.

Will post a video gameplay later

Big thanks to @smokey , it works like a charm!

After retrieving NFSMW 2005 (Deep Sea version) from my external HDD, I reached out to Smokey for some tips… and voilĆ ! Widescreen fix included.

Extra bonus: Q3ADemo is back in action too!


I used to play Apex Legends when i was using Windows 11 a few years ago, it was one of the games i had to sacrifise when switching to Endeavor OS as my daily-driver.

Yesterday i was looking around for some solutions and realised that steam had the ability to stream games between computers.

I used my racing simulator rig to install Apex Legends through steam, and streamed it from my endeavor os PC (main pc) and spent around 4 hours on it yesterday, it was a blast! I’ve tried numerous projects trying to get around this, but pretty much all of them adds latency or input lag.

How does it work

The game i see on my linux PC is technically just a video that is streamed off of the windows PC. The stream runs over the local network over a custom low-latency network protocol.

Issue

I ran into an issue where my linux PC has a resolution of 2560x1440, which would make the game slightly pixelated because the gaming rig has a resolution of 1920x1080. The reason for this is that the game is running at 1920x1080 and is stretched to the client (2560x1440). Which makes sense.

What i did was create a custom resoluion on the 1080p PC and set that resolution in Apex. Works like a charm!

Steam’s Remote Play needs more attention, I’ve gone years without even considering this option. It does of course require a spare gaming computer. With this i can even play Apex Legends on my laptop (without integrated graphics) beautifully. Its incredible.

Rogue Leader using Dolphin Emulator.

Started playing Satisfactory like a week ago.
Very fun game about building capitalism and tech empire on foreign planet :slight_smile:
