Native Steam client and source game engine

[Dwosky]

I've found a curious behavior with Steam Client installed using the multilib procedure, not sure if its normal or not, but it seems the Steam Cloud sync its slow as hell.

In Windows it takes a couple of seconds to establish connection and the transfer speed its not really great, but on Gentoo it goes at 20-50Bits/s max from what I've seen. Has anyone seen this issue as well?

From my little knowledge I believe it runs slower due to using Gentoo's lib instead of the precompiled Ubuntu ones, but its curious that while downloading a game it goes pretty well, but the sync takes a lot longer than usual.

what happens when you run steam-proton on a gpu without vulkan support =

Code: Select all

Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Fatal : VkResult is "ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" in /home/pgriffais/src/Vulkan/base/vulkanexamplebase.cpp at line 823
vulkandriverquery: /home/pgriffais/src/Vulkan/base/vulkanexamplebase.cpp:823: void VulkanExampleBase::initVulkan(): Assertion `res == VK_SUCCESS' failed.

steam still loads up, still functions as normal, but as you can see it cant load vulkan, so basically, gains no functionality while losing no functionality.

just incase anyone was curious.

[The Main Man]

I have problems with two games, they don't launch, in both games I get this error :

Code: Select all

traps: KOTOR2[25116] general protection fault ip:f739e845 sp:ebbfc784 error:0 in libxcb.so.1.1.0[f7393000+2c000]

Games are Borderlands2 and STAR WARS Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords

I tried to re-emerge libxcb, didn't help.
Any ideas?

Edit:
Never mind, found the solution here, if someone needs it in the future here it is:

Just got done migrating to the 17.1 profile. Steam no longer runs. I ran it just before beginning, so it was the 17.1 migration that broke it. Anybody else been through this or had same issue? The Steam clients starts up just fine, but when I try and run Borderlands2......it starts to load then sigfaults.

The errors I see in the terminal are:

gentoo gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32)

Hi.

This topic is still actual, isn't it?

I had success in installing and playing Skyrim Special Edition via Lutris-Steam-Proton.

So far, the game with multiple addons runs fast on ultra settings with my Radeon RX 580, the sound works flawlessly with my pure ALSA (no pulseadio). No freezes/crashes. No sound issues.

I need to tell that I had not been able to resolve two sound issues (crackling; ambient/NPC voices non-audible) via WineSteam without Lutris, then via Lutris-WineSteam-dxvk, then via Lutris-WineSteam-faudio. The current option (Lutris-Steam-Proton) has a special script for that - install-audio-fix.sh. I ran it and voila, the sound is OK now.

The whole installation process of the current option was not always straightforward, but not so difficult.

In short, I did the following:

1) re-emerged media-libs/mesa with [vulkan] flag, emerged media-libs/vulkan-loader and dev-util/vulkan-tools (contains a tool vulkaninfo for testing whether vulkan works)

2) installed games-util/steam-meta (which has all the necessary packages as deps) from steam-overlay

3) installed games-util/lutris

4) registered at lutris.net, went to https://lutris.net/games/the-elder-scro ... l-edition/ and clicked there "Add to my library"

5) launched the Lutris client, logged in, waited until appears "the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-special-edition", added at the previous step, then clicked "install" and chose the option with Proton

6) when the installation process freezed (with "breakpad exception" messages in the terminal), launched the Steam client (I already had a Steam account and Skyrim SE added into it), went to Skyrim SE properties, clicked "Force the use of the specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and chose Proton 4.11-10

7) assured that Proton installed properly (there must appear a full WINEPREFIX at the path ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 4.11/dist/share/default_pfx), after what Skyrim SE became available for downloading in the Linux version of Steam

8 ) downloaded Skyrim SE in the Steam client

9) ran for the pure ALSA:
env WINEPREFIX="~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 4.11/dist/share/default_pfx" WINEPATH="~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 4.11/dist/bin/wine64" winetricks sound=alsa
(usual app-emulation/winetricks from the main Gentoo repo)

10) ran for the sound:
cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/audiofix
./install-audio-fix.sh

11) found the directory for the game saves at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/Saves and the config file Skyrim.ini at one folder up (though this config file seems to be not working; the working one is at ~/My Games/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition)

12) for managing mods: installed in a separate WINEPREFIX Vortex Mod Manager from https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1?tab=files; it is important to choose the option "custom install location"; requires adding corefonts and dotnet 4.6; Vortex must be installed on the same hdd/sdd partition as the game

13) for SKSE mod (requires the manual installation):
- downloaded skse64_2_00_17.7z from https://skse.silverlock.org , uncompressed to a temporary folder
- copied skse64_loader.exe, skse64_steam_loader.dll, skse64_1_5_97.dll to the folder ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition
- renamed ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/SkyrimSELauncher.exe to SkyrimSENative.exe
- renamed ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/skse64_loader.exe to SkyrimSELauncher.exe
- created SKSE folder inside the folder ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/Data
- created SKSE.ini inside the folder ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/Data/SKSE , with 4 lines:
[Loader]
RuntimeName=SkyrimSE.exe
[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048
- created Scripts folder inside the folder ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/Data
- copied all .pex scripts to the folder ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/Data/Scripts

14) for making SkyUI mod work: after the installation via Vortex added the line '*SkyUI_SE.esp' to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Skyrim\ Special\ Edition/Plugins.txt - thanks to Lahvuun, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton ... -561408035

I hope this could be useful for someone.

at the moment i am running SSE with:

• SKSE
  ENB
  Reshade
  WryneBash
  LOOT
  BodySlide
  FNIS
  100+Mods

SSE works out of the box with Steam Play(proton) but you need to set some tweeks in winecfg to make all work
or use PROTON_..... %command% .

Hi hedmo.

SSE works out of the box with Steam Play(proton) but you need to set some tweeks in winecfg to make all work
or use PROTON_..... %command% .

Exactly, what tweaks/commands?

The problem I am experiencing now is SkyUI active effects icons. The meters are shown but the icons - no. Do you have these icons (if you have SkyUI)?

halcon

i am using SkyUI. the tweaks i am talking about is for sound and ENB to work.i dont know if Lutris-Steam-Proton vs @steam from steam-overlay
is changing something for the SkyUI.but one important thing with SkyUI is the load order.i am using LOOT for that.

can you provide me with a pic ?

[halcon]

one important thing with SkyUI is the load order.i am using LOOT for that.

I am using Vortex Mod Manager that has LOOT as a built-in component (or some another tool for reordernig plugins). But I haven't yet tried to test if moving SkyUI up/down make the icons appear...

can you provide me with a pic ?

Here is a pic, not mine but showing the same problem:
https://imgur.com/P6NOJBc

As you see, in the top right corner, there is a grey-white meter only. There must be an icon of the corresponding spell near it, but there isn't. An example of meters with icons: https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mo ... 79661.jpeg

halcon i have not reflect on the top right corner if there is a meter there but i will check.the icons is part of SkyUI.as i understand and you have to configure it to make them appear via MCM.but i am not 100%.i will check and post back.at the moment i am building a custom proton to run BOTW with the new Cemu
that has vulkan support but need to patch proton/wine to make it run.for me steam is the place i want to have all my games at (even non steam games)

regards hedmo

[halcon]

the icons is part of SkyUI.

More exactly: it is part of Data/Interface/exported/skyui/icons_effect_psychosteve.swf. Normally (without mods tweaking SkyUI) that file is inside Data/SkyUI.bsa. I've tried the pure SkyUI with "vanilla" icons, I've tried tweaking mods adding that file with other sets of icons - nothing changed. The icons not shown.

you have to configure it to make them appear via MCM.

I have turned on all available MCM options related to active effects icons.

i will check and post back.

Consider that active effects are being turned on/off in MCM -> SkyUI -> General -> Active effects HUD and also there are some options in MCM -> SkyUI -> Additional (I'm re-translating back to English from my language so the words may be not exactly as I wrote).

Also please consider that active effects exist only for "temporary" spells like Oak Flesh, Candle Light, Conjure Flame Atronach etc.

[hedmo]

halcon

https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom has a woraround for the skyUI:

Code: Select all

WINE_MEM_ALLOC_MOD	Enables mem alloc mod. Fixes some games such as MK11 and the skyui status effect icons in skyrim se. Set to 1 to enable.

I have not test it. Skyrim se does not start with GloriousEggroll for me.

Hi All,

I've been struggling getting my ps4 dualshock gamepad to work in 'Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice' via bluetooth for several days now.

It's a very curious situation. What currently works:

• Both steam Big Picture Mode (BPM) controls, as well as in-game, when plugged in via USB cable.
• BPM, but not in-game, when connected via bluetooth

In-game (i.e. after launching the game) only works when I have all 'playstation controller support' disabled in the global Steam settings. This also means that in-game, the button hints are for an xbox controller rather than for playstation controller. It took me a while to figure out that this needs to be disabled, as otherwise it won't work in-game, even via USB cable. Also, there is a notice in the global menu when selection 'playstation controller', warning that games can't 'opt-out' on an individual basis when this is enabled (that's why I switched it off - to be certain)

My Setup

Note one thing which I notice different is the line

Code: Select all

Interface:    -1

, under "Local device found". It seems to suggest something is wrong when connecting via bluetooth.

The other thing that I'm unsure about is that it complains about no input driver:

Code: Select all

May 02 10:22:45 chichenitza /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[617]: (II) config/udev: Adding input device Wireless Controller (/dev/input/event15)
May 02 10:22:45 chichenitza /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[617]: (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
May 02 10:22:45 chichenitza /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[617]: (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

I suspect that this is just saying that there is no X driver for the gamepad. Also, as this appears both when it's working via USB cable and when its' not working via bluetooth, suggests to me that this is irrelevant.

I've also noticed that under

Code: Select all

/dev/input/by-id

and

Code: Select all

by-path

, I am missing entries for the wireless controller, when connected via bluetooth. When connected via USB, I have the following entries:

Code: Select all

steam@chichenitza ~ $ ls /dev/input/by-id
usb-04d9_MD600_RGB-event-if02               usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-event-if03
usb-04d9_MD600_RGB-event-kbd                usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-if03-event-joystick

usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if02-event-mouse  usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-if03-mouse
usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if02-mouse

But when connected over bluetooth, all the ones on the right-hand-side are missing. I don't know if this is normal.

Another thing I've read a number of posts about, for example on stea[/url][/list]m community https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/d ... 304458372/, has to do with access rights. There they suggest making all the device files 0666 to resolve these issues. But as the gamepad works via USB cable without changing any of this, I've not touched the udev rules. It's not entirely clear to me how the TAG+= syntax works in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules, but I suspect that it's somehow used to grant access to the steam user.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help!

Hi All,

I've been struggling getting my ps4 dualshock gamepad to work in 'Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice' via bluetooth for several days now.

It's a very curious situation. What currently works:

• Both steam Big Picture Mode (BPM) controls, as well as in-game, when plugged in via USB cable.
• BPM, but not in-game, when connected via bluetooth

[...]

So I have quite opposite experience with the DualShock4 (ds4). in my case on running Steam:

• On bluetooth, js0 device is present in /dev/input, pad is not working on Big Picture, but works on any game and is not recognized in Steam controller settings,
• On usb, js0 device appears for a second or so in /dev/input, than it disappear, ds4 works fine in Big Picture mode, appears in settings, I can play around with setting the color and intensity of the glowing light on the ds4, does not work on any game

My kernel: 5.4.38, config. I'm using openrc, if that might matter, and had installed Steam using a set definition (as described on wiki, which might differ a bit, since I've did Steam installation a couple of years ago):

I'd briefly checked the behavior on Ubuntu, and there everything works fine (js0 device is not swallowed by the Steam). Perhaps it's somehow connected with re-initializing controller by Steam, I don't know…

I have been having even worse luck with controllers and Steam. I have a DualShock 4 and an Xbox One bluetooth controller that I don't remember ever having issues getting working in Steam on Linux, and then while I was doing a new media PC, I couldn't get them to work right on some games, and swinging back around to my laptop and desktop, those boxes' controllers don't work in-game there anymore either. The most infuriating part is that all the controllers work on all the boxes fine to control Big Picture Mode, it's just games that are a mess.

I have screenshots I took when I was playing a game on 5/21 that I'm fairly confident I played with a controller, but now the controller does nothing in that game. I have no idea what changed. I've tried the DS4 and XBO pad wired or wireless, enabled disabled PS4/Xbox/Generic support in all sorts of combinations, tried changing desktop settings in case it was a focus issue, all sorts of stuff.

Things that AFAIK worked for me up until the last day or so that now no longer work:

* 8-Bit Adventure Anthology (this is the one that I have screenshots for and fairly vividly remember playing on a controller, now no controllers work except ONCE the XBO pad worked, and then when I quit the game and tried the DS4, nothing worked again)
* Pictopix (half the time it doesn't work, half the time it works except up and down are reversed??)
* Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics

Still somehow works:

* Corpse Party (this seems to always work, confusingly)

I do feel like either something changed in Steam or there's some sort of weird race condition going on.

[Ant P.]

My DS4's broken in recent steam versions too. Works in every other program, no problem. Works when tethered to USB. But on Bluetooth Steam doesn't even see it, not even as a generic pad.

I'm having issues with VAC dropping me every ~10 games. Currently using ~amd64 with KDE/OpenRC. Anyone know of any workarounds?

I'm not sure if it's because Gentoo is unsupported or if there is a legitimate connection issue due to my network setup in Gentoo. All I know is it works fine in Windows.

There is a mod fixing the problem with SkyUI on Linux.

I had no problem with Unity games but recently I have no sound all of the sudden, only in Unity games.
I didn't change anything in system sound configuration, I'm not using pulseaudio, just pure Alsa.
If I launch those same games with Proton sound is working.

EDIT:
I found a problem, it was something in LADSPA plugin

[KPF]

For information:

after updating world recently, Steam client and all Steam games ceased to start: "glXChooseVisual failed"

profile: default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop (stable)

Update included adding vulkan-headers (probably unrelated)
removing eselect-opengl
and doing something about libglvnd/mesa

Kind of solved by rolling back to old nvidia-drivers (435.21-r6 or earlier). 440.100-r2 and 450.57-r1 are both no good.

Will post the same to nvidia/libglvnd topic...

EDIT: it appears the problem is not solved: the games are unplayable giving slide-show with less than 1 FPS.
(Serious Sam BFE, XCom, Sanctum, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided - single frame in 20 seconds, literally)

Only The Talos Principle amd Serious Sam Fusion are still working, probably due to new engine using Vulkan.
OpenGL is probably broken with this combination.

So, I've installed steam launcher from anyc/steam-overlay and DulalShock4 suddenly starts working over USB - both on steam interface and games. Turns out that steam-launcher have additional entries to the input devices in "/lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules", which were slightly different than entries that I already had.

Can anyone run Simple Chess ?
It launches fine but when I click on play it freezes.
With Proton I can't even get to the menu, it starts but it's super slow and I can't wait it out that long so I kill it.
