Error description: "Something went wrong with a file."
Error code: BLZBNTAGT00000840

I might have found a workaround:

• Set the Wine prefix's Windows version to Windows 11.
• This can be done on the winecfg Applications tab, or by running winetricks win11. Note that it requires a fairly recent version of Wine (and winetricks if using that method) so it might require temporarily upgrading Wine/Proton in order to choose that option. Battle.net might lose your saved password if you do this, in which case you would have to log in again.
• Once the games are updated, returning to the previous Wine version should be safe, at least until a better solution is found.
• This seemed to be what solved it for me, but it's possible that a side effect of my experimenting was the actual fix. I don't have a convenient way to confirm it.

CodeWeavers are investigating for the sake of their customers, but have not yet announced a fix.

Soliciting Recommendations for a Linux Friendly Wired Gaming Mouse.

Ideally:

• No RGB (or at least has linux software compatibility to turn off the RGB craziness ~~without terminal commands~~)
• Wired (USB-A or USB-C)
• Scroll Wheel that has left and right movement for scrolling left and right on wide pages when browsing interwebs)
• Two programmable buttons by the thumb (I use it for forward/back for internet browsing, and for hotkeys for gaming)
• DPI increase/decrease buttons
• Asymmetrical Ergonomic shape for a large hand

I have a couple of Corsair Sabre RGB Pro, Wired and Wireless but the RBG is too crazy on the new wired version and I don't have access to a MAC or Windows PC to install the Corsair Software to program the mouse to be less Epileptic Seizure Techno Rave Dance Party RGB I'M NOW LEGALLY BLIND Insanity. I wasn't able to get any linux hacks/terminal commands to work to edit or turn off the RGB.

(Edit: CorsairRGB Sabre Pro Championship Series isn’t supported in ckb-next)

I also had a couple Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro wired, that had scroll wheel issues that made the scroll wheel unusable, so I am hesitant to buy any Razer mice due to their reliability issues with the scroll wheel.

(Edit: unless these are all bots, Razer has some serious issues with their scroll wheels recently for so many people to have the same problem)

I had some Razer mice from 2007 that fit my criteria but they have all broken and I can't find a decent replacement.

PLS I just want a wired linux gaming mouse without RGB and with all the buttons. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Current Short List:

• Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse Wired
• Logicool M500s Wired Mouse

Either should work with Piper and are on the list of supported devices.

For reference, there's also these tools for some Razer, Corsair and other gaming mice if anyone is trying to edit the RGB settings in Linux:

• https://openrazer.github.io/

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Fast paced retro FPS with double jumping and wall running. Side project by the creators of the commercial game Sprawl which has an overall rating of "Very Positive" on Steam. Made in the Quake 1 engine. All game game logic is FOSS under GPLv2, its original assets are free for non-commercial use (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) but it also bundles LibreQuake (MIT) for some stuff.

Hello, all

Having an odd bug for last couple months.

Campaign works.

Multiple installs on multiple drives.

All other games work.

Tried every compatibility version and double checked up to date drivers. Persists. (In the past Proton did not fix the battle issue, curious if shader purge fixed that)

Curious if anyone else has ever run into anything like this and if you have any recommendations.

Have a 3060ti

Appreciated.

EDIT:

Semi-resolution

Proton experimental. Battles load. Campaign runs like ass. If ever loads. Pretty inconsistent

Shaders cache turned off. Donload cache cleared

1. SuperTuxKart

I really like this game because it's basically just FOSS Mario Kart. It has a lot of gamemodes, an (admittedly simple) kart stat system, many tracks and a lot of mods.

2. OpenTTD

In OpenTTD, you transport cargo and people to different places. You can transport them using trains, buses, aeroplanes (airplanes if your American), boats and trams if you add a NewGRF (a mod). It is very addictive and it is quite easy to get into (except the signals).

3. Pingus

It's FOSS Lemmings with penguins.

4. Extreme Tux Racer

You play as Tux (or someone else) and slide yourself through terrain while you collect fish. It is fun, however I've found that it can get a bit repetitive. You can design levels, however it's a bit hard to do.

5. SuperTux

It's 2D Mario with a penguin. BEST GAME EVER.

I wondered what was represented by the numbers in that table, since it was included in the article without context. The differences are so big that I expected them to be something low-level like number of sync operations per second.

Nope. Digging up the original patch set from a year ago reveals that those numbers are frames per second. This is an impressive improvement for some games.

Hey Guys.

After about ten years my father finally agreed to move to Linux. Because his devices I gifted him are not "supported for Windows 11".

And it is a blast - He loved Gnome for having his two games: Mahjong and Solitair.

Everything works flawlessly; He observed me updating Debian to trixie within an instant to get him his OneDrive back.

Anyhow: I would like to recommend some alternative Games he may like; Just to show off hisnnew operating system (of choice, yay).

If this isn't clear: He isn't gaming "Fullscreen". He chills for 30 Minutes with just his mice infront of the computer.

Any alternative to games would be appreciated as well.

Cheers

My wife (who current away from for a few months) enjoys playing SIMS 3. The only condition she has for installing Linux on her machine is if she can continue playing it there.

Now I know that Steam + Proton allows almost all games to run, but I am currently not in a situation where I can try it out on a laptop. I thought before proceeding, I'd ask the community's experience / opinion.

EDIT: Works out of the box. For best experience you'll want Fedora or Arch or SUSE which provide the asusctl package for modifying things usually only available on the ROG Control Centre for Windows. Dual graphics output from HDMI/DP also worked after an initial update and some reboots.

I'm looking at a pretty solid deal for the QHD model right now and I'm wondering if anyone has the same model already. How's the dual GPU setup?

I'm sorta hoping the 6800M can drive both display outputs without much hassle because I used to have to reboot when I had a 1650 mobile system in order to use the HDMI ports (they wouldn't output unless the desktop was running exclusively on the dGPU).
