Lego star wars lag

Okay, so I am trying to get Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga to work, and I have tried a bunch of things now that it's difficult to list all of them, but I've been struggling to get this game to run for a while now. It keeps lagging as though it's a slideshow, and I've tried running it on both Heroic and Lutris now with both having the same issue. I've ran it in proton and wine, and it's starting to become frustrating. There is also an issue with the ships on the menu seeming to be missing textures. The millennium falcon is white with red streaks. https://0x0.st/Kb4W.log I'm brand new to Linux, running Mint Cinnamon and, I've learned some stuff pretty quickly but, I still can't fix this.

Solution:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 might fare better than that

i think you're using the wrong driver

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

oh? Can I get help figuring that out?

robust-apricot•3mo ago

well, you're using the radeon driver for it, but you should really be using the driver amdgpu that comes with mesa

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Well, I didn't set it. This was stock when mint was done setting up. Can you help me change it, please?

robust-apricot•3mo ago

i'm pretty sure mint has a driver manager that is a GUI, doesn't it? is the amdgpu driver listed in that interface?

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

No, all that the driver manager does is scan for driver updates. It doesn't have a GUI, and is just telling me that I don't need any drivers. Unless I'm missing something, which is a possibility.

robust-apricot•3mo ago

you don't see something like this in the driver manager? (pulled the picture from a random website)

robust-apricot•3mo ago

it has been years and years since i have done anything in mint, so i may be behind pretty sure @arieljuod uses it still, though

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

No, it's just bringing up this loading screen that then changes to a check mark saying no drivers needing to be updated. There is text at the top saying additional and proprietary drivers.

robust-apricot•3mo ago

is there a button that says something like Check Available drivers? it feels odd to me that it would skip a selection screen

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Not even that. How do I screenshot on mint?

mute-gold•3mo ago

I think linux just picks the driver that's compatible with your GPU, amdgpu is for newer ones and radeon is for older ones (my driver manager is just empty, it only shows options when there's an intel or nvidia gpu) https://linuxvox.com/blog/amd-gpu-drivers-linux

AMD GPU Drivers on Linux: A Comprehensive Guide

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become an integral part of modern computing, especially for tasks like gaming, video editing, and scientific simulations. AMD offers a range of powerful GPUs, and Linux users can leverage these capabilities with the appropriate AMD GPU drivers. In this blog post, we will explore the fundamental concepts of ...

robust-apricot•3mo ago

oh, that makes sense bookmarked that page, thanks

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Okay, so I went ahead and used the update command from that site and it says I have the most up-to-date version already installed.

mute-gold•3mo ago

this does look weird though:

maybe try with the heroic AppImage? I wonder if flatpak is doing something weird here

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

How do I do that?

mute-gold•3mo ago

download the app image from https://heroicgameslauncher.com/downloads then you double click that file and it should open a new heroic log in again there and then in the library look for the game and click the download button but instead of installing it click Import game and look pick this folder /home/venus/Games/Heroic/LEGO Star Wars that should import the game so you don't have to download it again, and then launch it

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Alright, downloading it now. I'm trying to run it and it isn't starting. I've tried opening it multiple times now, and it's still not opened.

robust-apricot•3mo ago

new log please

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

How? I can't get the appimage to launch. Sorry, I should have been more specific. The appimage version of heroic isn't launching for me. Also, I tried installing drivers from here and it gave me this error: E: Unable to locate package rocm-dkms

robust-apricot•3mo ago

ah if you launch it from the command line, what do you get?

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

How do I do that? Nevermind, I got it. I found a tutorial thru wikihow and it launched from the terminal.

stormy-gold•3mo ago

I don't think Radeon Supports vulkan. So you are defaulting to software rendering. which is llvmpipe can you run this command and see if you have any output? vulkaninfo --summary

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

WARNING: [../src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:2011] Code 0 : Device '/dev/dri/renderD128' is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) So, what should I do now?

stormy-gold•3mo ago

Yeah so you don't have vulkan support, considering your IGPU its Terascale 3 (6 years released before vulkan was even a thing) I think you don't have many options to make this work better, besides using Gallium Nine. But I can't tell you how that would perform since I don't have that GPU.

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

I have an APU, actually. How would I go about setting up Gallium 9?

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

These are my specs.

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

I launched it in the appimage version of Heroic and lego star wars still was a slideshow.

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

Because it uses llvmpipe, aka cpu based rendering

Solution

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 might fare better than that

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

If it works at all tho

sunny-green•3mo ago

this GPU is.. going to be a bad time since it cant use amdgpu .. even with leopard's suggestion

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Where would I set this at?

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

Game page on Heroic- Settingg button from top right Advanced In Advanced, environment variables Heroic will just nuke = in between but that is normal So just copy paste there and hit + to save

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Alright, I did that and it didn't work. Still need help, as I haven't figured this out yet. I'm not even sure if this can work on my current laptop.

sunny-green•3mo ago

mostly this is what im getting at.. the GPUis pretty old and cant really run vulkan, its an IGPU on top of that so its already pretty slow even when it was new.. if using the PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 env var didnt improve things, you might just be out of luck

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

Log file after using the wine3D command. https://0x0.st/Kb0d.log

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

PROTON_USE_WINE3D What you put Vs PROTON_USE_WINED3D What i wrote

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

oh 🤦 I'll fix that and see if it works. That fixed the lag, but I'm not sure if it'll hold up so, here's the log with the proper command: https://0x0.st/Kb0h.log

flat-fuchsia•3mo ago

Yes because now it uses your gpu Previously it was trying to render solely via your cpu

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

I see. Well, the Millennium Falcon still has weird textures on the menu screen, but other than that everything seems to be working.

sunny-green•3mo ago

yeah wine d3d is not as good so there will probably be visual artifcats

passive-yellowOP•3mo ago

The graphical issue was before I used d3d. It was in my initial report.
