if you need a swap file your game performance is going to suffer

TRam is much faster than any form of storage out there.
FOK, thank you.
Pif you NEED swap for a modern game to run it just isn't gonna

TZram is actually really cool though, if you ever want to do some research.
FIn the future, everyone will most likely develop and continue to develop technology, everyone will use 1000mbps, they will even attach chips to our brains, our brains will open gta 7.
Hthe "it's a cylinder" thread except it's just swap questions
MIn theory, a game could have a lot of stuff it might want to load, but doesn't necessarily need all of it super fast... But I guess you could also just make use of direct storage or just loading it when you need it instead of preloading it under that circumstance
M:u
Mbut a game could use ram instead there if it really wanted to...
Mprobably not coded too well if it does, though..
Fdefinitely wants virtual ram when there is ram Xdddd
Pmodern game developers give a fuck about this challenge [impossible difficulty]
FEven if you have 24 gb ram, it gives this error in windows
Mnot sure if there are many situations where preloading something into swap would be meaningfully different from just loading it from the hard drive when you need it
Pcurrent console generation basically decided for us that using anything besides DMA streaming is ten year old practice
Mif any situations at all
KWindows is not designed to have it's swap file disabled under any circumstance, neither is linux
Kboth will whine at you different ways if you do that
P^
Knaturally, neither defaults to no swap at all
Pthey're still required for basic OS functionality
Munless your swap is on an ssd and the asset is normally stored on a slower hard drive...
Pbut video games made in the last five years certainly won't give a shit
Pthey aren't really storing things in swap the way you'd think
Pit simply doesn't make sense when it's easier and faster to reconstruct data from lighter structures in actual ram, etc.
M4th time installing bazzite on vm, I'm gonna try out distrobox this time
MDoes the os need to support direct storage or is that something the game itself does
Pthis also wouldn't matter beyond caching the real location in a way that's faster to access than seeking it manually
Pit's still an asset on a slow disk
Fthe easiest for the game is definitely bazzite because it installed my drivers and everything, I'll say something funny, even the vibration of my zero original ps2 arm worked, that's all. XDDD
MYou could load the entire asset onto the drive :u
Myou probably shouldn't...
Mbutnyou could
Pthis doesn't happen
Ni've got a weird issue: a few days ago i accidentally unplugged my usb sound card (soundblaster x3) and now everytime i start my computer the sound settings shows the adaptor but it doesn't produce any sound until i unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. dmesg doesn't tell me anything. y'all think that's the hardware itself or is there something else i could look at on my system to hunt down the issue?
Mmostly the whole immutable distro thing is making me having to test it before install it on my pc
Mthis is the first time I actually use one
Pwhat
Mnow now
Mum let's not talk about that
K#Rules & Known Issues
Pi love the idea that you think it's any safer running pirated software because "it's exe so it won't run" even though you are literally running it to play said game
Ksee you in a week
Plike bruh
Mrip random person I seen on this channel
MA game that preloads all of its assets into RAM hoping that there's either enough ram for the whole game or that the swap file is large and on a faster drive than the game is stored on
P
Polder games do load assets directly into ram when it's cheaper than streaming
