are you running games and random apps in same prefix? you might want to make separate ones just for that - or keep app profiles with different dpi in the winecfg

Probably something to do with scaling. If you have set your display to >100% scaling, some apps/games will do that.

if you can make application specific scaling rules, you might want to do that for proton/games and set it to 100%, I guess?

Put the $1 in quotes in the script. -o "$1" ?

are you using RT?

on my system the game crashes when loading into the game (or running benchmark) with RT on. Worked fine a month or two before the patch, I have no clue if some other update (proton-ge/cachy, heroic, nvidia-open, arch in general...) did it. Logs seem to indicate something about nvidia & shader compilation (I don't remember the exact error atm).

If it crashes straight from launch, check if you have your mods updated, eg. red4ext (winmm.dll) is really crash-happy if it's version doesn't match the game's

edit: oh derr, you got it fixed? gotta check the protondb then as well.

I started a playthrough of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008).

Earlier this year I did play through the 2023 remake of it, and I wanted to go back and see how the (almost) original game was.

I'm now through the first chapter of the 2008-version, and so far... it's pretty great! Admittedly I did few .ini tweaks to fix it for widescreen & 4k, it works fine (even if some characters/assets on the very edges of the viewport can blink in/out a bit). Too bad the 2008 version has fixed the "creepy Watson" teleporting, but oh well, at least I don't get unnescessarily jumpscared.

Other than that, the graphics are quite dated, but they have certain charm. The puzzles seem fairly reasonable, if a bit pixel-hunt-y at times. The vibes are great all around though!

Dunno what else dgvoodoo provides, but I'd assume d7vk could help with the game just as well

huh? simcity 4 had glide renderer? o_O

huh, different folks & different strokes, the modern day office stuff is the one thing that put me off on every AC game I've tried.

I was having way more fun doing yarharhar shenanigans than conversing at the watercooler

that's actually pretty great. afaik dgvoodoo isn't really working on linux for whatever reason. I'm also bit struggling to think of glide-only games I'd even care to play (edit: or didn't already have modern remasters with all the bells & whistles)... need for speed 2:se maybe?

https://github.com/lutris/GlideVK apparently exists too, but before today I had not even heard of it.

When ever he speaks, I listen to it's glory. The man can rant.

you're beyond socks at that point, you exclusively wear body stockings
