Keyboard issue with No Man's Sky on Linux?

Has anyone playing on Linux tried to use the Text Formatting Guide?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/qv6gy7/comprehensive_text_style_formatting_guide/

When I try to do it on Linux, every time I type < it gets replaced with >. So I can't do symbols or colors etc. I tested on my desktop Xubuntu (fails), steam deck (works fine using virtual keyboard), and windows 10 pc (works fine).

I am using a standard generic 105 key keyboard, the < key works elsewhere.

I'm out of the loop on modding Bethesda games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls but I've seen some posts here and there about using Nexus games.

Assuming Starfield is using the same engine, system, structure, etc, how possible do you think it would be to install mods? I'm going to be purchasing on Steam and running the game through Proton on Arch. Thanks.

Instead of putting: gamescope [arguments] in the wrapper section, instead you would do: /usr/lib/extensions/vulkan/gamescope/bin/gamescope [arguments]. You just need the gamescope vulkan layer installed on flatpak.

Might also work with other launchers, but i dont know cause i havent tested. Just thought id share this with anyone else who had this problem like i did.

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to run BG3 and I'm running into a variety of errors:

My step up:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic) GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3~git2308230600.fbf3f6~oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi RAM: 63 GB

One seems to be this for which I feel I've tried every googable solution:

You must install .NET to run this application.

App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche r\LariLauncher.exe Architecture: x64 App host version: 6.0.18 .NET location: Not found

Learn about runtime installation: https://aka.ms/dotnet/app-launch-failed

Another is this:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

But I'm not even sure what this points to now.

Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?

EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I'd heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.

Things are very miscellaneous right now, but development rolls along nevertheless. One interesting initiative is adjustments to default profession skill levels so that starting characters don't feel like they are starting from 0 in all areas despite having a life before the cataclysm.

Hi all, Liam here, your friendly neighbourhood moderator. Apologies I haven't been around too much until recently, but I am properly back.

Just a reminder to please hit the report button on bad comments and posts. Do not quote them, do not reply. I know it's difficult at times, but it's best to let mods deal with offending users.

Just a reminder of the first 2 rules for this entire Lemmy instance:

• No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
• Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Due to repeated awful comments, I did have to ban a user recently and remove a few rather hateful comments. Please remember the rules and try to get along. I really won't hesitate to ban repeat offenders, let's not have this turn into Reddit eh?

Peace out.

I've recently got a FreeSync monitor and am still figuring out how to get VRR (variable refresh rate, or "adaptive sync") to work consistently.

I'd love to hear your experience with VRR.

Some of my tests:

Sway

In sway, I set adaptive_sync on for my display, and swaymsg -t get_outputs reports Adaptive sync: enabled

• Unfortunately, by default stuttering in games is present
• To fix, I had to use sway -Dnoscanout. Apparently, this has its drawbacks.
• Even with -Dnoscanout, moving the mouse breaks VRR and causes stuttering

Hyprland

In hyprland, I set vrr = 1 and get similar results as sway -Dnoscanout

• Fluent motion by default, but moving the mouse introduces stuttering

Gamescope

In gamescope (embedded from VTT, with --adaptive-sync), I get the best results yet

• Stable fluent motion
• Mouse doesn't break it

My setup is 6600xt, Gigabyte M28U monitor, Arch 6.1.64-1-lts. I test with vrrtest and with Ghostrunner on wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git 8.13.r7.gc210ef9f-327

Hello Guys I resently bought a google stadia controller used for 15€ with the bluetooth firmware enabled

The only problem I have with it is support on the distros I dailydrive Arch I followed the arch wiki but there was a lot missing about this controller. The only distro I found to work out of the box was nobara

I search a bit in the preinstalled packages and the only few outlier i found were Networkmanager from the fedora-update repo and nobara-controller-config from the nobara-baseos repo

Does anyone have a idear how I could get the contoller to work on my Arch installed? It is possiable to archive this on arch because I saw other people get it to work on the steam deck what runs a arch based os

I would appreciate any help

Happy birthday, Proton!

Thats the error i get when launching. Things i tried for troubleshooting: -Updating -Using a different Proton Version -Disabeling steam Overlay -Reinstalling -Verifying file integrity

Nothing worked.

An alternative SteamOS-like distro built on Fedora for Steam Deck and Desktop

My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.
