Sorry for the trouble

No problem! I’m glad I could help :)

Do lutris always download user-made scripts, or is it just if you select it?

Lutris does not automatically download user-made scripts; you have to add them manually.


The only times I’ve encountered a game or program not launching via Bottles, it had to do with missing dependencies and/or other issues with the installer.

SteamDB has a list of dependencies that are used for Ape Out, of which you can try adding to your Bottle.

However, I would try running the game in Lutris; In Lutris, if you encounter issues with the game, you can click on “show logs” which will (hopefully) help you out a great deal. Lutris uses their own runtime which is primarily pulled from Valve’s Steam runtime (IIRC), saving you from having to hunt for dependencies (if missing dependencies are the issue).


You can check if it’s using the Discrete GPU by going into “Details” in your game’s bottle, then go into “settings”, and make sure that the toggle for “Discrete Graphics” is turned on. You can also set an environment variable; DRI_PRIME=1. Also might want to check your HDMI or DP cable is plugged into your GPU. You could also try checking GPU usage while the game is running, and seeing if it’s using your GPU at all.

You said you moved to Fedora from Pop_OS; If you are using an Nvidia GPU, you might want to check if you’ve got the Nvidia Proprietary drivers installed or the Nouveau drivers. You can check this by running lsmod | grep nvidia in a terminal. If you get any output whatsoever then you’re using the Nvidia Proprietary drivers, which is what you want for gaming.

If it is a shader issue; in the same “settings” in bottles make sure DXVK and VKD3D aren’t disabled. There’s no real way to bypass shader compiling. All your games need to compile shaders.


Happy to help!

It runs at 3–5 fps, and the CPU is maxed

Do you have a GPU or are you running the game on integrated graphics? Running on integrated graphics can definitely be the issue here but It’s more likely that it’s shader compilation however.


Assuming when you created the bottle, you chose “gaming”, it will use “soda” as it’s default runner, which is based off of proton. Maybe try going into preferences, runners, then click on “Soda”, and try messing around with different versions.

According to the latest ProtonDB reports of Ape Out, Proton 8.0-5 was being used. Looking at my available “Soda” runners in bottles, I see soda-8.0-2,soda-9.0-1, and soda-experimental_8.0 as the latest runners available. I would try using those runners as a start.

Also, (I only now just noticed it), under preferences, in General, there is an “Integrations” section. Under that there’s “Steam Proton Prefixes”, which (I assume) allows you to use Proton prefixes.

Here are the following commands, depending on your installation method of Steam to give permissions to Steam’s path if it doesn’t have it already.

Steam non-Flatpak:

flatpak override --user com.usebottles.bottles --filesystem=xdg-data/Steam

Steam Flatpak:

flatpak override --user com.usebottles.bottles --filesystem=~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam

Alternatively you can use Flatseal and add the path: ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam





>Moving forward the plan is to implement more features needed for DXVK and VKD3D-Proton. Eventually the hope is to get to the point of being able to enjoy nice Windows games on Apple Silicon using Wine / Steam Play and an x86 emulator.

You can thank AMD for that.

From AMD:

Console-Class Gaming on the Go: Built-in AMD Radeon 800M graphics are the world’s best graphics for gaming8, ensuring top-tier gaming experiences with high frame rates and ultra-low latency.

For those curious about the “Memory on Package”; this isn’t soldered on RAM. The RAM is integrated into the CPU package itself. This can be a good thing; improved performance and power efficiency, increased memory bandwidth which allows the CPU to talk to the RAM at insane speeds due to how close the RAM and CPU are to each other . The downside to all of this, is you can’t upgrade the RAM. Intel’s probably gonna pull an Apple, and charge you an insane amount for more RAM. Also, currently they only support memory capacities of 16GB and 32GB.


>From what details Intel provided they're claiming "60%" better battery life for these mobile processors in "real-life usages". Impressive if true, but just as exciting is the huge advancement of the graphics side with Xe2 which they claim will bring improved "gaming and graphics performance by 1.5x over the previous generation".

>AMD say the new graphics will provide "console-class gaming on the go" and that the "Radeon 890M graphics has the fastest integrated graphics in its class".

If you’re only going to pick Pop!_OS or Manjaro, I’d suggest you go with Pop!_OS. The Manjaro team has been very weird, and made some poor decisions in recent years. I’ve had a very good experience messing around with Pop on an Nvidia GPU.


I just hope they don’t update their previous titles to require a PSN account.






Yes. It means we have better compatibility with DirectX shaders on Linux. It enables a unified shader development workflow across platforms. Developers can focus on HLSL without worrying about different shader languages for Windows and Linux.





The first “2” probably indicates that it’s a sequel. “Ship” probably refers to the developers, “Harbour Masters” who made “Ship of Harkinian”, the PC port of Ocarina of Time. The second “2” (I’m not too sure on this) might again, refer to it being a sequel, and “Harkinian” is likely taken from “King Harkinian” from the old Zelda CD-i games.





Since you have Nvidia you’ll want to use the Nvidia proprietary drivers for the best performance. The open source driver for Nvidia (nouveau) is awful when it comes to gaming performance, unfortunately. (Although this will soon be fixed with NVK)

Depending on your distro of choice, you’ll need to figure out whether you want Secure Boot on or not. I believe Windows 10 doesn’t require Secure Boot to be enabled, but I think Windows 11 does. So depending on how frequent you want to be booting into Windows this might be a bit of an annoyance. You can leave Secure Boot disabled and use the Nvidia Proprietary drivers as-is, but if you want to enable Secure Boot you’ll have to sign the Kernel yourself - it’s a pretty straight forward process.

I recommend you try to keep Secure Boot enabled for the added benefit of security and ease of use when dual-booting, but if you don’t want to go through the hassle of signing your own Kernel, then simply leaving Secure Boot disabled when in Linux will suffice.

I recommend against using Ubuntu because of Canonical’s many poor decisions with Ubuntu. I won’t get into it right now, but if you’re comfortable with Ubuntu don’t let me stop you from using it.

In reality, you can use whatever distro you want. One distro isn’t inherently better at gaming then another. It’s a matter of configuration.


I would say wait to buy an AMD card (but you do you). Wayland Explicit Sync is out in the 555 driver, and NVK is cooking.



As per your request, PoVoq, I am volunteering to help moderate this community@davel@lemmy.ml


I take pride in being able to represent Linux through a “stupid hardware survey.”


Wow. I’ve gotten quite a few Steam Survey requests throughout the years; from what I can tell, it picks users ‘at random’. I’ve also read very mixed things on whether or not you can do it yourself, eg; go into settings and choose to do it?? Or run some command/dialog on Steam startup??




Lots of people have already forked it. I think it’s even backed up on the Internet Archive too. You could also check the Yuzu subreddit as well.


The Citra team is the same team behind Yuzu, so yes they are both gone. It’s a sad day today.


You should be fine. Yuzu checks the Github repo for updates which is now down. If you’re still worried you could download it via Flathub and disable network access via Flatseal or terminal.


Yuzu and Citra are still available
~~There’s still time!!! Get Yuzu and Citra on Flathub now if you don’t already have it!!!~~ https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu ~~Just a note: Yuzu’s latest build is mainline-0-1734. The latest build of Yuzu on Flathub is mainline-0-1733.~~ ~~Edit: Flathub has now been updated for the latest build of Yuzu -> mainline-0-1734~~ Also: Thanks to a commenter on another one of my posts for providing a link to a different post that consults preserving/forking Yuzu’s codebase. link: https://lemmy.world/post/12733553 **Edit#2: Yuzu and Citra have now been removed from the Flathub website, but are however still available via their flatpak commands:** `flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu` `flatpak install flathub org.citra_emu.citra` **For more context, A Flathub admin responded to someone on the Flathub Matrix channel saying that Yuzu won't be removed from Flathub completely until they "understand legal implications better"** Flathub Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#flathub:matrix.org ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/f1b92652-47bd-442c-a3cf-1c0a591817c7.png) Thank you to [ObjectiveJellyfish36](https://www.reddit.com/user/ObjectiveJellyfish36/) for providing the image and information about the Flathub Admin's response.

As of right now, both Citra and Yuzu are available via Flathub!!! Get them now if you don’t have it!!!


2 Microcenters???😭😭 You menace!!!😭😭


I’m literally in the EXACT same boat. I have a Best Buy (which I never go to), and Fry’s left my area ages ago.


You live close to a microcenter?? Luckyyyyyy
