absent-sapphire•5mo ago
you should update your system
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
Alright
ive updated my system but myy game doesnt start anymore, heres the log
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
absent-sapphire•5mo ago
Your umu install is broken
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
how can i fix it?
should i reinstall it?
frail-apricot•5mo ago
yes, reinstall it. probably the
umu-launcher
package
also, your OS is still out of date. you're on a version of Arch that came out back in July 2024foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
oh im sorry i thought i updated it
i ran
sudo pacman -Syu
and now this is the logforeign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
i tried reinstalling umu multiple times
ive installed the
umu-launcher-git
package using the aur. this is the new logforeign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
frail-apricot•5mo ago
enable use game mode
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
alright
that didnt solve the issue
frail-apricot•5mo ago
post a log, do you have feral game mode installed?
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
is the package name just
gamemode
? if yes, then i do have it installed
heres the log by the way https://0x0.st/8XRL.logfrail-apricot•5mo ago
can you run
gamemoded -t
in a terminal?
you might also need lib32-gamemode
optimistic-gold•5mo ago
did you reboot after updating....
the fact your kernel is still old suggests you didnt update or didnt reboot
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
i did reboot
i can do it again if you want
alright

frail-apricot•5mo ago
lib32-gamemode
as well? the last game log you had was complaining about missing the gamemode .so fileforeign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
all tests are passed now, but my game still freezes sadly
yes ive redownloaded it with the
lib32-gamemode-git
package
oh wait by the way heres the new log
https://0x0.st/8XFi.logfrail-apricot•5mo ago
it's still complaining about
libgamemodeauto.so.0
. Try setting LD_PRELOAD=""
in the environment variablesforeign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
that didnt solve the issue either. heres the new log https://0x0.st/88PD.log
frail-apricot•5mo ago
I don't see the change
did you remember to press the green + after entering it?
I'm seeing that you have only 8GB of RAM now too. maybe we do need a screen recording of the game again but with an overlay that shows RAM usage
it could be that you've run out
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
wait what green plus
i see
frail-apricot•5mo ago

foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
ohhh
i added the variable directly to my .zshrc, maybe thats why it didnt work
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
heres the screen recording
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
@tourist which runner are you using? I read the whole thread but didn't found it
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
i myself do not know (sorry if im making this hard by the way)
whats the runner?
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
Open the game settins and check the "wine" tab
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
ohh
im using proton ge
conscious-sapphire•5mo ago
Check the system's journal and see if there's something relevant
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
nothing really relevant to see
I really don't know how I could fix the issue
please i need help im sorry if im making it complicated
extended-salmon•5mo ago
Maybe use other wine version that isn’t proton ge, that sometimes solve issues for me
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
I tried that too and proton experimental seems to solve the issue partially, it just freezes later
these past few days ive noticed that my game rarely freezes when i play in custom lobbies. its still freezes though, what could be causing this?
absent-sapphire•5mo ago
might be an issue with the amount of ram you have
oh you have integrated too
yeah it's definetly that
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
how could i solve that?
wait so its a hardware issue 😭
absent-sapphire•5mo ago
You could add more swap space or zram
Best solution is to buy more ram
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
so wait youre telling me that if i add more swap space its gonna (kinda) fix it?
im gonna try that
optimistic-gold•5mo ago
it will prevent crashes, but you'll trade thrashing (extreme slowness)
if you thrash to a swap file on disk, your system will basically come to a halt
zram could help at least since its still in ram
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
oh thank you so much for telling me
optimistic-gold•5mo ago
of course the best fix is actually having more ram
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
yes i have guessed that haha
ill still try to add more zram
what disk size should i do for it? i feel like 512M isnt enough
absent-sapphire•5mo ago
Probably 2-4G
foreign-sapphireOP•5mo ago
alright
