LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[tatsu]

i've figured out that proton 4.2 is the source of the desyncs
if you play with proton 3.16 .x you get no desyncs.

[foodlfg]

we did some testing and
no desyncs for me either with Proton 3.16.6 Gallium Nine Extras 0.3.0

My current setup
- AMD Ryzen5 1600X
- AMD RX560 4GB
- 16GB system mem
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Kernel: 4.18.0-17-generic
- Drivers: Mesa 18.2.8 - i didn't updated my graphic drivers
- Proton 3.16.6 Gallium Nine Extras 0.3.0 - Gallium Nine is enabled with PROTON_USE_GALLIUM_NINE=1
https://github.com/popsUlfr/Proton/releases


as for FA + Gallium Nine + AMD
- i didn't experience much higher frame rates. maybe +10 FPS.
- the game is still missing some effects for me. like Cybran ACU overcharge, Fire Beetle blowing up effect
- when i turn on the minimap or do split screen, the main map goes completely green (this is how i know i'm using Gallium Nine lol)
- i don't get crashes at min ~45 (game time)
- some (40 min) replays work, some replays throw a desync for me after ~30 min
- i haven't got desyncs in normal games

to me this is symptomatic of gallium nine not being on

here's how I enable gallium : (maybe add a stem there where you copy you steam games library to somewhere safe first, this way if you want to undo, you can simply delete steam reinstall steam and move your games library back in)
https://github.com/tatsujb/installFAFsc ... nine-mode-

if you haven't used my script then :

1st switch to Nouveau graphics driver then reboot
then :

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade -y
sudo
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks.bash-completion
sudo mv winetricks /usr/bin
sudo mv winetricks.bash-completion /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/winetricks
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
~/.local/bin/pipx ensurepath
eval "$(cat .bashrc | tail -n +10)"
pipx install protontricks
pipx upgrade protontricks
protontricks 9420 galliumnine

If i understand correclt y on nvidia you have to do the above and on amd maybe you can use non-nouveau graphics driver.

Confirming that gallium nine can cause desyncs - probably should've mentioned it earlier since I encountered this issue a month or so ago :/

[Little Miss Murder]

Saturday night everything went for a ball of shit. Instant desyncs with 10.3 everywhere. It seemed to have resolved itself over the course of yesterday and I was able to have a few big games with not much in the way of conn problems. The usual lost conn problems to players here and there remain but at least it's no worse than before.

In the end for me it was proton 4.2-3 causing desyncs. I went back to proton 3.16-9 beta and it worked I then whent back to gallium nine and it still worked.

Cannot start FA at my Ubuntu machine

FAF is working, steam started and i'm logged in.
Console log - Pwn0eeZJ at pastebin.
I can't post it there - "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs."

I think you have the order reversed here. FA is the game on Steam. FAF is the community multiplayer client.

OR, if you didn't have it reversed, then you don't have the correct script to start FA with Proton outside Steam.Is that the case?

Console log - Pwn0eeZJ at pastebin.

Looks like you can't connect to the local ICE adapter, which isn't supposed to happen since the FAF client starts it. How did you install FAF? Is the directory writeable? Is it owned by your user?

Installed by tatsu script from github.
And FA has started at script run.
All directories is writable:

I can start FA from steam, but i can't launch it from FAF client.

OK, then tatsu can help better, let's wait for him
