install wallpaper engine via steam so its workshop content is downloaded, then in the area where you can pick wallpapers (directly in KDE), theres a wallpaper engine option. Point it to your steam install, and itll pick up the workshop content

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:37 AM

but as far as i know not every wallpaper will work, some may look broken

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:37 AM

its basically just piggybacking on the workshop content of wallpaper engine, so you dont have to run the actual software

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

basically yea

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

some games may not do that, depending on their DirectX version (i believe DX9+ gets automatically translated, but im not sure about DX<9

Renard•6/23/24, 2:38 AM

So, I remember being able to choose Vulkan as rendering API in red dead redemption 2, therefore, would it be possible and benefic to disable that "translation" and set Vulkan in-game?

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

yup, that works. im just not sure if its faster or not

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

i dont have that particular game so i havent tested it

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:39 AM

but for example Baldurs Gate 3's own Vulkan performs worse than translating it via proton

Renard•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

It is I think, but using another thing, like vkd3d for dx10+ I guess and vkvoodoo or smth for dx9 and less

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

dxvk and vkd3d are the tools used yea

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

dxvk definitely does 9 10 11, VKD3D does 12

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:40 AM

im just unsure if d8vk got merged into it already yet

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

There is an option in Lutris about vkvoodoo or something near this word that said "used for dx9 and earlier" when you hover it

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

I'm not on my pc so I'm not really precise sorry

matt_schwartz•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

it’s been deprecated as of earlier this year iirc

Renard•6/23/24, 2:41 AM

Oh okay

Renard•6/23/24, 2:42 AM

I was curious about these kind of things, I kinda got lost in YouTube and stumbled upon a video talking about game optimisations, how GPU works etc.

Renard•6/23/24, 2:42 AM

And this question came to mind

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

its definitely a case by case basis in that instance

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

generally in my experience the games own variants perform worse than its proton equivalent

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

could be different depending on the hardware and the game of course

Renard•6/23/24, 2:43 AM

Yeah because like every tool existing, it has to be used properly, if the dev implementation is horrid, the translation may be better and the other way around

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

i mean some games perform generally better here too, although everything is translated in some form

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

for example i have much higher FPS in FFXIV on linux compared to windows on the same rig

Renard•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

I remember having better performance using Vulkan when I was on windows, that's why I was wondering

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:44 AM

but in the same breath, i have around 10FPS worse in Cyberpunk on linux

Renard•6/23/24, 2:45 AM

I have better FPS everywhere on my side using linux

Renard•6/23/24, 2:45 AM

But I think it's because my laptop has a CPU bottleneck, and Linux consuming less resource than windows gives more room for games to work

Renard•6/23/24, 2:46 AM

I don't know if that can be an explanation, I clearly don't know enough about the subject, but it's my guess

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:48 AM

just to make sure, i believe that its already a known issue that gpu acceleration doesnt work in xwayland on 555?

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 2:48 AM

i thought i could "workaround" the firefox issue by forcing it to run on XWayland, but it just outputs a mess

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•6/23/24, 3:02 AM

little other question on the side: does anyone know how to get plasmas workspace behaviour to only work on the main display and not on secondary ones?

HHKCORREA Is there a way to make the wallpaper engine work? Or some similar software?

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 3:10 AM

Wallpaper engine support for KDE is pre-installed

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 3:10 AM

You can just start using it

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 3:11 AM

Check out the plug-in repository for usage instructions

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 3:11 AM

Just be sure to ignore the installation steps

Trinnik•6/23/24, 3:29 AM

Is SteamTinkerLaunch broken for anyone else on the latest Bazzite stable (40.20240621.0)?

When launching a game nothing appears and when manually launching

steamtinkerlaunch settings

steamtinkerlaunch settings

nothing happens. No output and the command never progresses. The stl logs don't show anything that I can see.

Anyone have issues with the Xbox controller dongle sometimes not reconnecting to controllers properly after they go to sleep from idle? Controller and dongle have solid light after turning the controller back on so it should be connected, but steam doesn't seem to pick it up. I occasionally have to unplug and plug the dongle back in to get it to work. EDIT: on steam deck with the official dock, in case that matters

Ddnkmmr oh ok good to know

Valerie•6/23/24, 4:17 AM

I see why I wasn't experiencing it now, I mainly use the power button to bring up that menu

im not involved on the development of it, but i guess the best way is reporting which wallpapers dont work to find out which features are missing.

Theres a tool to select a GPU in the waydroid config in ujust

Kyle Gospo•6/23/24, 6:37 AM

Just pick that Radeon and you should be good

Kasher_CS•6/23/24, 6:39 AM

By the way, it seems waydroid doesn't work on my discrete AMD GPU, is there a specific reason?
