Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.

Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.

  • The PCGamingWiki is also another good resource especially for older or more obscure games. Most fixes are Windows specific but they can be used on Linux. For example here is the page for Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit where it links fan patches and an open source engine recreation.

    If someone is really desperate there’s always the option of searching GitHub issue pages like dxvk to see if it has been documented, if there is a temporary fix, if a fix is on the way, or if it’s going to remain a constant issue (ex. FiveM).


  • Ah my mistake. I wasn’t sure if it was a subtitle like Alan Awake 2: An American Nightmare.

    You may want to try searching around GitHub. There’s a few posts regarding vkd3d.

    https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/1754

    If you scrolls down to the bottom there are a few potential fixes mentioned in the form of launch commands.


    There was this comment on Reddit as well

    well there is some good news and bad news…the good news that i got it some fixes from other sites that it all need to do add env command line to your proton terminal is add this

    export VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_5 %command%

    then my fps went from 12 to 45 to 51 fps…and fbi lettering is restored as well, weird??

    it looks like it disable vk_extension_mesh shader from use since vkd3d-proton is broken and bad news is its running 60% slower than windows 11 23h2 during testing both os…i lost fps is not cool dude who make vkd3d-proton 2.10, better fix it soon with next revison sooner


    Still mostly spitballing but maybe it will get you going in the right direction or someone else can elaborate.












  • Am I the only one who finds this so weird when we talk about LLMs? If someone makes a bot that resembles some specific person, that person’s rights aren’t really violated, and since they’re all fictional content, it is very hard to break actual laws through its content. At that point we would have to also ban people’s weird fan fiction, no?

    Not arguing about whatever they want or don’t want on their platform, but the legal & alleged moral questions / arguments always weird me out a bit, because there’s no one actually getting hurt in any sort of way by weirdos having weird chats with computers.

    I could see some people making the argument that it could be considered defamatory especially in cases where it is being peddled as real. Politicians might even try to link it in with revenge porn or other non-consensual pornography laws.

    It would sure get messy in a hurry though. Imagine someone trying to make lewd photos of Tomb Raider’s Laura Croft for example and accidentally generates images resembling Alicia Vikander or Angelina Jolie from the Tomb Raider movie.
