The one i should use is â/usr/bin/wine /home/htc/Games/Grim Dawn/drive_c/GOG Games/Grim Dawnâ, or just â/usr/bin/wineâ (minus the ââ on the 2nd one)?
Also: where do i place the Grim Internal files? In the gameâs installed folder?
then 'd recommend just using the command âlutris rungame/grim-dawnâ.
so you donât have to care about environment variables like wine prefix, dxvk, and many other settings. this can be still under control of the user, where it belongs, imho.
Ah⌠you must have installed a different runner than I did. Your log is alot cleaner than mine
The reason you donât see the .local folder in your home directory is probably because you need to toggle hidden folders to visible - folder names with a period preceding them, like .local, are hidden folders.
My path: /home/powbam/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-5.6-2-x86_64/bin/wine
Note where it says lutris-5.6-2-x86_64 in my path. Now look here:
Basically, make hidden folders visible in your file browsers settings then follow my same path but look for whatever version of Wine the games options says you are using. I do wish they would just give you the path right there in the game options for it since it is kind of a hassle.
That wonât work if you want to keep them separated. The Lutris ID is only going to point at whatever you have currently set as the executable. It canât be more than one thing. Unless you know something I donât know.
Ah not âcore switcherâ, my other other Switcher appâŚ
Basically itâs a launcher - you can toggle dx9/11, x86/x64, disable the expansions, launch with GrimInternals etc. My plans are to eventually have it also be a mod/save file manager as well.
Lol. well⌠Thatâs actually my old version⌠I have a different one that that will replace it eventually.
I also have âMenu Switcherâ here:
GlockenGerda made us a mod that lets us change the FG menu to AoM or Vanilla menu so I made a tool that lets you rotate them at will, or randomize them on launch.
Note: the fire on the AoM logo. Thatâs FG fire - but AoM background MenuâŚ
So I did notice that it stops CPU 0 from being a block of constant 100 usage. It isnât a big improvement though, but it probably averages 92-95% instead of a solid 100%
I mentioned in the Discord chat the testing I did with my wifeâs hyper-threaded laptop i7-6700HQ and the results but Iâll mention here that I got the best results (havenât extensively tested yet) by doing the âevery other coreâ trick on it. It actually went on to each of the cores fairly evenly.
I also tested turning off hyper-threading in the BIOS, which brought it down to 4 cores. Default activity was surprisingly showing on all cores not too badly spread out - once I toggled Core 0 off/on it spread out much better on all the cores.
Oh, and Valinov - looks here like there IS a 9900k user that it works with:
Which makes it even more puzzling. Whatâs the difference on your end then I wonder?
I will mention here for anyone reading that I am working on a couple new hotkeys for the tool to do the âevery other coreâ trick for people that might want to test a different method if the Core 0 toggle trick isnât working.
One hotkey will toggle every other core OFF starting with Core 0. So Cores 1,3,5 and so on will be active.
The other hotkey does the opposite toggling OFF every other core starting with Core 1. So Cores 0,2,4 and so on will be active.
And since these 2 games share common heritage and performance behavior I am also adding in support in the tool for TQAE as well.
Yea I like to take people the hard way (sometimes) Firm believer in learning - and Linux in general has an innate learning curve, tho thatâs been drastically reduced the past decade.
Iâve been a Linux fiddler for a long-time now but I have yet to go fully over yet. The improvements on the gaming end of things certainly helps now (Valve gets a big shout-out for being instrumental to that).
Thatâs a good thing because i switched to Linux with literally ZERO experience with it: to put it in perspective, i must have formatted like 10 times minimum in my â1st linux weekâ alone because i somehow âbroke the installâ and i couldnât fix it myself âŚ
ah yes. I know how that story goes well The good news tho is that most Linux installations are pretty darned fast, especially in comparison to Windows. Tho Windows 10 actually installs fairly quickly nowadays. I can usually have it installed in about 20 mins - doing updates after the install tho⌠depending on what needs to update that can extend the time. Updating a Linux distro is a bit quicker to do after install.
I started - I think (been along time) - where youâre at now. Ubuntu/Linux Mint - I rocked Mint mostly for a good while and then I really started exploring. Eventually I landed on Manjaro. It has some quirks but overall itâs a super-smooth, beautifully done rolling release distro.
It took a while but itâs pretty much my âmainâ now when it comes to Linux and I donât expect Iâll be changing that anymore.
If you ever get the distro-hopping bug give it a shot sometime. https://manjaro.org/
