Funny, my GPU came with a code for the Avatar game (AMD) - but to redeem it, you have to run some utility from AMD that I couldn't get to work to detect my card to redeem the game =\

AMDs stupid redemption software is such a pain in the ass on linux.

Last time I tried to use it the website didnt even work, I had to contact their support people who gave me like 2 copy and pasted replies before i got someone to even read my post and just give me a direct download link for the tool.

Wish they'd go back to just putting the fucking keys on cards in the box.

Had the same issue with another title. After a lot of trial and error I contacted their support with a copy of my recipe, explaining the situation, and they activated it for me so I could redeem my Steam code.

I think last time I ran some portable Windows USB to do that.

I had to do the same thing. Email them with your invoice as proof of purchase. It took about a week but they did eventually get back to me.

It’s a Ubisoft Launcher code though. Haven’t tried running the launcher on Linux yet.

I could, but it's been 9 months at this point. And after looking the game up before I tried redeeming, the game (at the time) looked Meh at best.

Perhaps a passthrough to a VM running Windows would work? Though that's probably a lot of work unless you already use one.

i can't wait for native wayland, what's the hold on that?

[-] Cirk2@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

From my experience using it: Mostly steam overlay and clipboard copy/paste not working. The rest seems fine.

How about mouse constraints? Last time I tried Genshin with pure Proton Wayland and my mouse kept escaping to my second monitor :/

[-] Cirk2@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Had no Problems with that in FF14, Remnant 2, Satisfactory, Supermarket Together and Subnautica Below Zero. Tested them all under Sway, not sure how much that influences these results.

May I know which Proton version you've used? I tried the CachyOS variant

Just tried the Proton-Tkg Wine Master and it works. I get occasional issues in UIs and also have a broken Steam overlay, but it's good enough for me, thanks :3

I hope one day Binding of Isaac: Repentance will be there. All Isaac DLCs were native, why Edmund?!

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Wait. It doesn't even run through Proton? Meaning you cannot play Repentance through Linux at all?
