==Essential improvements==<br />
===Skip intro videos===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-novid</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=159366732|title=Skipping the Valve-intro :: Team Fortress 2 Steam Community Guide |date=14-03-2018}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Alternatively, go to {{folder|{{p|game}}\hl2\media}}.<br />
# Delete or rename {{file|Valve.bik}}.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
{{ii}} TF2's default settings are generally not well optimized. Therefore, it is recommended to install a custom config, such as '''mastercomfig'''.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install mastercomfig|ref={{cn|date=August 2019}}|fix=<br />
#Go to the [https://mastercomfig.com/app mastercomfig website] and choose a preset, alongside any relevant addons and download the necessary VPK files.<br />
#Place the downloaded VPK files into {{folder|{{p|game}}\tf\custom}} and follow [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/customization/launch_options/ these directions] to add the necessary launch options. (Don't forget to remove the <code>-dxlevel</code> launch option after launching the game)<br />
#Boot up the game and test the performance/visual fidelity. If errors occur, check [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/next_steps/troubleshoot/ the troubleshooting section].<br />
#To change any settings without changing presets, use [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/customization/modules/ modules] to alter individual settings.<br />
{{ii}} Any already existing custom configs will need to be moved from {{folder|{{p|game}}\tf\cfg}} to {{folder|{{p|game}}\tf\cfg\user}} (create the {{folder|user}} subfolder if not present already). It is also recommended to check if any commands in these custom configs overwrite mastercomfig's. <br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Higher texture quality===<br />
{{ii}} Using the console command <code>mat_picmip #</code>, one can change TF2's texture quality preset independently from the in-game settings, where <code>#</code> can range from <code>2</code> to <code>-10</code>. The lower the value, the better.<br />
{{ii}} The in-game "Very High" Texture detail setting uses <code>-1</code>, therefore it is not the highest possible texture quality the engine can offer.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set mat_picmip value in autoexec.cfg|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Ultra_high_settings|title=Ultra High Settings :: Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki |date=22-07-2022}}</ref>|fix=<br />
#Go to {{folder|{{p|game}}\tf\cfg}} and create a text file named {{file|autoexec.cfg}} if it does not already exist.<br />
#Open {{file|autoexec.cfg}} and add the line <code>mat_picmip -10</code>.<br />
#Save and close the file. This will ensure that the command is read on start-up.<br />
{{ii}} '''IMPORTANT''': if mastercomfig is used, {{file|autoexec.cfg}} will need to be moved to a folder named {{folder|overrides}} inside {{folder|{{p|game}}\tf\cfg}}.<br />
{{ii}} Alternatively, use the launch parameter {{code|+mat_picmip -10}}.<br />

}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Plugins|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
{{ii}} It is possible to increase the FOV limit up to 130 or even unplayable 179, using server-side plugins such as [http://tftrue.esport-tools.net/ this one]. However it is important to note that, while allowed by the ETF2L, and while client-side plugins are not classified as a cheats they are not officially supported by Valve. Some cheats include FOV increase hacks, so '''use at your own risk'''.<br />

===Sprays are not visible===<br />
{{ii}} As of the September 16, 2021 update, sprays are no longer available on official Valve servers and can be disabled per server by the server admins.<br />

===Purple and black broken textures===<br />
{{ii}} A generic fix for this issue can be found [[Engine:Source#Broken textures|on our Source engine page]].<br />
<br />
===Game Crashes at Valve logo on startup===<br />
{{ii}} Most likely caused by [[DirectX]] problems.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Run the game with [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line arguments]]|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Reinstall the latest DirectX<br />

Replace <code>##</code> with <code>80</code>, <code>81</code>, <code>90</code>, and <code>95</code>, corresponding to [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/DirectX_Versions Shader Models]. Lower is more compatible but 80 may cause more frequent crashes.<br />
# Try setting <code>-nod3d9ex</code>. This will disable some DirectX 9 extensions used in Windows Vista/7.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Game crashes after closing MotD===<br />
{{ii}} Some servers use Pinion advertisement, a buggy plugin that sometimes crashes TF2.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Game crashes after closing MotD|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Update Flash/Java plugins.<br />
# Disable HTML motd (in advanced options, under performance options)<br />
# Install a Pinion blocker by editing the hosts file. <br />
# Try adding the following lines to your autoexec.cfg or in the launch options <br />
* <code>sv_motd_unload_on_dismissal "1" <small>// The MOTD contents will be unloaded when the player closes the MOTD.</small></code><br />
* <code>alias closed_htmlpage ""<small>; echo BLOCKED an attempted html wait timer</small>"</code><br />
* <code>cl_disablehtmlmotd 1</code><br />
Note that some servers require you to watch the MotD for a minimum amount of time (e.g. 30 seconds)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Cosmetic items do not appear on a player===<br />
{{ii}} Bug is caused by the dynamic-model-loading system implemented in Team Fortress 2.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Touch a resupply cabinet|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
* Once a player touches a [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Resupply_Cabinet#Resupply resupply cabinet] the cosmetic items should appear.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Getting disconnected while playing on a LAN with multiple players===<br />
{{ii}} This is caused by multiple players trying to connect to a server using the same client port.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use unique client ports|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
* Each player needs a different client port, by adding this to the launch options: <code>+clientport N</code>, where N is a number between 27005 and 27032, but not 27015 or 27020.<br />

===Low FPS fix===<br />
=====Ubuntu (12.10 to 17.04) or any distro with Unity desktop=====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fix low FPS on Ubuntu (12.10 to 17.04) or any distro with Unity desktop|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
Once the game has loaded and the FPS have dropped below playable:<br />
# Press Esc. to return to the game menu.<br />
# Go to Options → Video<br />
# Switch Display Mode from Fullscreen → Windowed<br />
<br />
From here on, the game should increase dramatically in performance. <br />
<br />
# Optional: Switch back from Windowed -> Fullscreen<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=====Linux with Cinnamon Desktop=====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fix low FPS on Linux with Cinnamon Desktop|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
To increase performance:<br />
# Press the Windows (Super) Key to open the mint menu<br />
# Go to System Settings → Display (May be under General settings instead)<br />
# Enable "Skip Compositing Manager", then close the window.<br />
# Launch the game<br />
# Switch Display Mode from Windowed → Fullscreen<br />
Cinnamon, by default, skips the compositing rendering manager if an application runs fullscreen, which in turn, disables Vsync. Enabling the compositing manager turns '''ON''' Vsync and (depending on the system) slows the game down.<br />
<br />
# Optional: Switch back from Windowed -> Fullscreen<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=====Anti-virus exception=====<br />
{{ii}} Anti-virus software can interfere with a file in TF2's folder, which gets updated constantly during gameplay.<br />

===FL_LoadGlyph error in Linux===<br />
{{ii}} Caused by any user who inputs a Unicode symbol in chat<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Make the game use Unicode supported font by default|ref={{cn|date=June 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Open {{file|sourceschemes.res}} with a text editor and change <code>ConsoleText</code> into Unifont<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Change the value of <code>snd_mixahead</code> to 0.03 or higher|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/401|title=gitlab.freedesktop.org|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Mouse sensitivity is doubled than what was set in Linux===<br />
{{ii}} Caused by a very outdated SDL2 library included with the game.<br />

<br />
===Flickering Black Graphics on Linux===<br />
{{ii}} Caused by a Mesa driver bug<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fixing via console commands|ref={{cn|date=February 2021}}|fix=<br />
Add these console commands to {{file|autoexec.cfg}}:<br />
* <code>mat_phong 1</code>. This enables phong lighting, which is usually only disabled for graphical preference or for framerate improvement.<br />
* <code>mat_bumpmap 1</code>. This enables bumpmapping, which some may prefer disabled.<br />

Users can rollback to Mesa version 20.1.7 or earlier to avoid the issue as long as <code>mat_bumpmap 1</code> is set.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Game refuses to run on Linux===<br />
{{ii}} Caused with the outdated libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 library included with the game which causes problems with LLVM 16 or higher<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Replace libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 with the newer one|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/5043|title=Failure to start with tcmalloc "Attempt to free invalid pointer" against llvm 16 - Github|date= January 2024}}</ref>|fix=<br />
{{ii}} 32 bit package of gperftools must be installed<br />
Create a symlink using the following command (Location of the library may vary on distro, Archlinux was used for reference):<br />
<pre>ln -s /usr/lib32/libtcmalloc.so.4 ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin/</pre><br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Some elements of the game do not work in higher frame rate===<br />
The following issues happen when running the game on higher frame rate:<br />
* Cannot spin the blocks with numbers in Ix Chel and Chak Chel chamber (Windows only)<br />
* In-game cutscene freezes when talking to the old man for the 1st time during Price of Survival's DLC quest called The Dragon and The Prince (Native Linux version)<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=[[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|Cap the frame rate at 60 FPS]]|ref=<ref name="Cap 60 fps puzzle">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/750920/discussions/0/1743355067091511425/?l=turkish#c1743355067091952440|title=Stuck/Bug Ix Chel Chak Chel puzzle doors :: Shadow of the Tomb Raider General Discussions|date=2019-07-26}}</ref>|fix=<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Stabilize the frame rate in native Linux version===<br />
The game may require increasing the shader cache size in order to provide a better frame rate as by default both Mesa and NVIDIA's proprietary driver libraries use 1 GB by default which won't be enough. This can be done using the following environment variables for specific vendors into the command line (On Steam it must end with <code>%command%</code> in order to pass it through):<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set the shader cache size to 2GB with environment variable|ref=<ref>Discovered while benchmarking the game with default 1 GB and 2 GB. Note that increasing it beyond that barely makes any difference</ref>|fix=<br />
* <code>MESA_SHADER_CACHE_MAX_SIZE=2G</code> - When using Mesa for AMD/Intel<br />
* <code>__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=2000000000</code> - NVIDIA's driver (470 or newer)<br />

Additionally an improved shadow denoiser for ray traced shadows, improved ray traced shadows on higher settings, fixes for compatibility issues with Intel GPU-hardware, updated multiplayer infrastructure to use Epic Online Services (without the need for an Epic account), removed [[Denuvo]] from the game, and several bug- and crash-fixes were implemented.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/750920/view/5630057400396673638|title=PC Patch Notes for patch Shadow of the Tomb Raider, build 1.0.453.0 (Patch #20)|date=2022-08-15}}</ref> In September 2022, another update was released for the game, introducing support for X<sup>e</sup>SS.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/750920/announcements/detail/3272451439792050250|title=Update notes for Sept. 27, 2022|date=2022-09-27}}</ref><br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Some elements of the game do not work in higher frame rate===<br />
The following issues happen when running the game on higher frame rate:<br />
* Cannot spin the blocks with numbers in Ix Chel and Chak Chel chamber (Windows only)<br />
* In-game cutscene freezes when talking to the old man for the 1st time during Price of Survival's DLC quest called The Dragon and The Prince (Native Linux version)<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=[[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|Cap the frame rate at 60 FPS]]|ref=<ref name="Cap 60 fps puzzle">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/750920/discussions/0/1743355067091511425/?l=turkish#c1743355067091952440|title=Stuck/Bug Ix Chel Chak Chel puzzle doors :: Shadow of the Tomb Raider General Discussions|date=2019-07-26}}</ref>|fix=<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Stabilize the frame rate in native Linux version===<br />
The game may require increasing the shader cache size in order to provide a better frame rate as by default both Mesa and NVIDIA's proprietary driver libraries use 1 GB by default which won't be enough. This can be done using the following environment variables for specific vendors into the command line (On Steam it must end with <code>%command%</code> in order to pass it through):<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set the shader cache size to 2GB with environment variable|ref=<ref>Discovered while benchmarking the game when testing out the experimental support for Vulkan's Graphics Pipeline Library extension in Mesa's Vulkan driver for AMD aka RadV and compare it if increasing the shader cache size would make a difference. Turns out doing either of them brings some benefits but the former has a case of randomly missing model parts whereas the latter runs just fine and better instead of default 1 GB cache size, do note that increasing it more won't do much of a difference.</ref>|fix=<br />

<br />
===Demos===<br />
====[http://www.halflifeuplink.com/ Half-Life: Uplink]====<br />
{{ii}} The official public demo that includes an exclusive chapter (and the training level) with content not found in the full release. It can be downloaded [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/286-half-life-uplink-demo/ here].<br />
{{ii}} The demo uses an older version of GoldSrc, which may have compatibility issues with modern systems. For full compatibility with the Steam version, the [https://www.halflifeuplink.com/hlulsl/ HL!UL!SL] mod reworks the demo as a Half-Life mod.<br />
<br />
====Half-Life: Day One====<br />
{{ii}} A pre-release demo exclusive to OEMs. It contains the chapters from the full release up to and including "We've Got Hostiles" (5 chapters and the training level). It can be downloaded [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/287-half-life-day-one-demo/ here].<br />
{{ii}} Note that the demo uses an older version of GoldSrc, which may have compatibility issues with modern systems.<br />
<br />
===Version differences===<br />
{{ii}} '''Half-Life: Game of the Year Edition''' comes with both the base game and [[Team Fortress Classic]].<br />
{{ii}} '''Half-Life: Dreamcast''' is an unreleased port of Half-Life to the Sega Dreamcast. It includes various differences from the PC release (ex. modified levels, new models, adjusted difficulty, etc.). A mod that ports the Dreamcast version as a Half-Life mod is available on [https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-dreamcast Mod DB].<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Official retail patches===<br />
{{ii}} These are not needed for the Steam version as that already contains the latest version.<br />
An archive of all official patches for Half-Life and its expansions can be found [https://www.moddb.com/games/counter-strike/downloads/half-life-updates-pre-post-1100 here]<br />
<br />
===Peixoto's patch===<br />
[https://www.patreon.com/user?u=44312848 Peixoto's patch] forced resolution allows high resolution without shrinking the HUD\menus. Super sampling anti aliasing is also possible<br />
<br />
===Disable texture resizing for the retail version===<br />
{{ii}} Steam release was updated to disable texture resizing entirely.<ref>[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/70/view/1586880891220596671 Half-Life update released]</ref><br />
By default, the game resizes textures to the nearest [[Wikipedia:Power of two|power of 2]]. This behavior can be disabled on hardware that supports non-power-of-two textures (most modern GPUs released within the past 15 years support them) by setting {{code|gl_round_down}} to {{code|0}} in the [[#Configuration file(s) location|configuration files]].<br />
<br />
===Skip intro videos for the retail version===<br />
{{ii}} Steam release has no videos.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the [[Glossary:Command line arguments|{{code|-console}}]] command-line argument.|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Tecc|date=2021-04-10|comment=Intro files will be skipped by using this command-line argument. (only for the retail version)}}</ref>|fix=<br />
<br />
===Restore Custom Game menu in Steam version===<br />
Since the switch to the Steam version the option to run custom games has been removed in favour of selecting it through Steam itself, however this kind of method is tedious as the Steam itself needs to be restarted in order for the mod to appear on the list. It is possible to restore it though with these instructions:<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Restore Custom Game menu in the Steam version|fix=<br />
# Go to {{P|game}}''\Half-Life\valve\resource'' and open up the <code>GameMenu.res</code> file in a text editor.<br />
# Find the section <code>"label" "#GameUI_GameMenu_ChangeGame"</code>.<br />
# Set <code>"nosteam" "1"</code> to <code>"nosteam" "0"</code> and save the file.<br />

''Notes''<br />
{{--}} Weapon models are affected by changes in FOV.<br />

===OpenGL texture filtering===<br />
{{ii}} By default the filtering is enabled (except in Software rendering mode).<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable OpenGL texture filtering<ref>[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=244861148 How to remove texture filtering in OpenGL]</ref>|fix=<br />

# Save the file.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Using the line {{code|gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear}} instead will enable mipmapping to prevent some textures from flickering at a distance, but will be blurry if not combined with anisotropic filtering.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===OpenGL overbright lighting===<br />
{{ii}} Overbright lighting increases the rendering [[Glossary:High dynamic range (HDR)|dynamic range]], resulting brighter and more colorful visuals.<br />
{{--}} Overbright lighting normally only works on the Direct3D and software renderers.<ref>[https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=47313 VOGONS • View topic - Half-Life overbright compatibility]</ref><ref>[https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/230 gl_overbright & OpenGL · Issue #230 · ValveSoftware/halflife]</ref> <br />

<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{--}} Doing this will disable multi-texturing, which has the side-effect of disabling detail textures, which may effect the appearance of other games and mods that share {{code|hl1.exe}}, including [[Counter-Strike: Condition Zero]] and [[Day of Defeat]].<br />
{{ii}} Doing this disables the Steam version's built-in [[MSAA]]. On the '''Half Life''' profile, change {{code|Antialiasing - Mode}} to {{code|Override any application setting}} and {{code|Antialiasing - Setting}} to the desired level of antialiasing (such as {{code|4x [4x Multisampling]}} for a vanilla look, or {{code|32xS [Combined: 2x2 SS + 8x MS]}} for maximum antialiasing).<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Intel/AMD GPUs: Use [https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=63930 this GLIntercept config]|ref=<ref>{{cn}}</ref>|fix=<br />
'''Note'''<br />
{{--}} As this method uses a custom {{code|OpenGL32.dll}}, it should not be used in VAC-protected servers.<br />

<br />
====[https://github.com/LAGonauta/MetaAudio/releases MetaAudio]====<br />
{{ii}} Alternative audio pipeline for GoldSrc. Re-implements 3D audio without replacing entire rendering pipeline.

====Higher definition models====<br />
{{ii}} Included in the Steam release.<br />
{{ii}} [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3157-QDVN-1426 The High Definition Pack] replaces most weapon and player/enemy models with higher polygon versions that resemble the PS2 models.

{{ii}} The effect changes the art style dramatically, and whether or not it's desirable is up to personal preference.<br />
<br />
====Restoring Original Menu====<br />
{{ii}} Half-Life's main menu was changed with the game's transition from the WON (World Opponent Network) system to Steam.

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Steam overlay not supported===<br />
{{--}} Game does not support Steam overlay and no permanent fix is yet known.<br />
{{++}} {{key|Alt|Tab}} seems to be working flawlessly as a cheap fix.<br />
<br />
===Cannot pick up the pole after dropping it on the ground in Bhogavati===<br />
During the game you will encounter a pole which is needed to be inserted into the slot into one of the pillars in order to make progress. If you drop it on the ground it will no longer be picked up at all, soft locking the game. You have no choice but to load the previous autosave as there is no fix for this problem.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Steam overlay not supported===<br />
{{--}} Game does not support Steam overlay and no permanent fix is yet known.<br />
{{++}} {{key|Alt|Tab}} seems to be working flawlessly as a cheap fix.<br />
<br />
===Cannot pick up the pole after dropping it on the ground in Bhogavati===<br />
During the game you will encounter a pole which is needed to be inserted into the slot into one of the pillars in order to make progress. If you drop it on the ground it will no longer be picked up at all, soft locking the game. You have no choice but to load the previous autosave as there is no fix for this problem.<br />

{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''Doom 64''''' is a [[:Category:Sci-fi|sci-fi]] [[:Category:FPS|first-person shooter]] game developed by [[Company:Midway Games|Midway Games]], [[Company:Id Software|id Software]], and [[Company:Nightdive Studios|Nightdive Studios]], and published by [[Company:Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda Softworks]]. It was the Nintendo 64 exclusive sequel to ''[[Doom II: Hell on Earth]]'' from 1997 in the ''[[Series:Doom|Doom]]'' series, and was ported using the [[:Engine:Kex Engine|KEX Engine]].<br />
<br />
|release history = The game was originally released on March 31, 1997 for the Nintendo 64, using a modified, hardware-accelerated version of the [[:Engine:id Tech 1|id Tech 1]] engine based on ''[[Doom (1993)|Doom]]'''s PlayStation port, and introduced new features to the engine such as animated sky textures, colored lighting, fog effects, smoother liquid texture animations, among other features while taking advantage of the console's unique 3-point filtering algorithm for its new higher resolution sprites.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_64|title=Doom 64 - The Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> It was, however, often mistaken for another port of the 1993 ''Doom'' during its initial release despite being an entirely new game in the ''Doom'' series due to its title (the original working title was ''The Absolution'', referenced in its final level) at a time where most of its ports struggled to bring the PC version's experience to a console, while competing with the likes of ''GoldenEye 007'' and ''[[Turok: Dinosaur Hunter]]'' with their advanced 3D graphics on the Nintendo 64.<br />
<br />
For many years, ''Doom 64'' did not see a release on other platforms, and with Midway Games filing for bankruptcy in 2009, the chances of the game being re-release elsewhere seemed uncertain, however, there were efforts by ''Doom'' modder [[:Company:Samuel "Kaiser" Villarreal|Samuel "Kaiser" Villarreal]] to port ''Doom 64'' to PC unofficially, starting with his ''Doom 64: Absolution'' project, a total conversion of ''Doom II: Hell on Earth'', followed by ''[[Doom 64 EX]]'', a port that runs off data extracted from the original Nintendo 64 cartridge. Samuel along with fellow ''Doom'' modders Edward "Edward850" Richardson and James "Quasar" Haley went onto to work for [[:Company:Nightdive Studios|Nightdive Studios]] and developed an official port of ''Doom 64'' with a partnership with Bethesda.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WUbyZaPRm0|title=DF Retro EX: Doom 64 - Remaking an N64 Classic For PS4, Xbox One, Switch + PC! - YouTube|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> It was initially announced for the Nintendo Switch to accompany the then-upcoming ''[[Doom Eternal]]'', originally slated for a November 22, 2019 release until they was delayed to March 20, 2020 but announced versions of ''Doom 64'' for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game was released on the planned release date (through [[Store:Bethesda.net|Bethesda.net]] and [[Store:Steam|Steam]] for PC), and features many quality-of-life improvements such as support for higher framerates, widescreen resolutions, an updated HUD message system, as well as a new set of levels that ties the storyline of the classic ''Doom'' games with the modern ''[[Doom (2016)]]'' reboot.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_64_(2020_version)|title=Doom 64 (2020 version) - The Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> The official re-release of ''Doom 64'' also features haptic controller feedback on all versions, a first for the KEX Engine.<br />
<br />
|current state = Bethesda sought to end their partnership with Nightdive Studios after ''Doom 64'' was finally released, thus preventing any further updates or fixing overlooked issues such [[#Sprites are rendered 0.5px off when using DirectX 11|pixel-scaling distortion]] caused by the PC version's stock DirectX 11 shaders and inability to remap key bindings on non-QWERTY keyboard layouts. Samuel has provided players with workarounds to address issues with the DirectX 11 shaders. Almost 2 years after Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, Nightdive was able to return to the work on the game and provided players with a patch to address the most glaring issues with the game.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1148590/view/3088910094673350020|title=DOOM 64 - Minor Update|date=2022-02-25}}</ref> <br />

====Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch====<br />
{{ii}} The [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1148590/discussions/0/1870623253804069634 Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch] is a patch that converts the game files of Doom 64 into a format that the fan-made port from 2008, [[Doom 64 EX]], can recognize and play. This allows owners of Doom 64 to make use of the added features of the fan-made port, such as enabling mouse look, disabling auto-aim, etc.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install the compatibility patch (Windows only)|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Aemony|date=2020-03-23}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download the compatibility patch from the [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1148590/discussions/0/1870623253804069634 Steam thread] and extract it to a temporary folder.<br />
# Browse to {{p|game}} of the official 2020 port of Doom 64.<br />
# Copy the files {{file|DOOM64.WAD}} and {{file|DOOMSND.DLS}} over to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch.<br />
# Browse to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch, launch {{file|run.cmd}}, and press {{key|Enter}}.<br />
# A new folder called {{file|output}} was created that contains the patched [[Doom 64 EX]] compatible files.<br />
# The compatible files can now be moved into the base installation folder of [[Doom 64 EX]] and played using the fan-made port.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Do not overwrite the original files within {{p|game}} of Doom 64 with the patched files as they have been made incompatible with the official port!<br />

# Open the {{file|DOOM64.WAD}} found in <code>{{p|game}}</code> with SLADE, and then search for the following files by using the search box: {{file|MEDIA0}}, {{file|PSTRA0}}, and {{file|STIMA0}}.<br />
# Right-click each of these files, click '''Import''', and then replace these files with their uncensored counterparts that you have downloaded earlier.<br />
# Go to File and click '''Save''' to save the changes. You should now see the original red crosses on recovery items. A back-up of the original WAD file is also created automatically.<br />

{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''Doom 64''''' is a [[:Category:Sci-fi|sci-fi]] [[:Category:FPS|first-person shooter]] game developed by [[Company:Midway Games|Midway Games]], [[Company:Id Software|id Software]], and [[Company:Nightdive Studios|Nightdive Studios]], and published by [[Company:Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda Softworks]]. It was the Nintendo 64 exclusive sequel to ''[[Doom II: Hell on Earth]]'' from 1997 in the ''[[Series:Doom|Doom]]'' series, and was ported using the [[:Engine:Kex Engine|KEX Engine]].<br />
<br />
|release history = The game was originally released on March 31, 1997 for the Nintendo 64, using a modified, hardware-accelerated version of the [[:Engine:id Tech 1|id Tech 1]] engine based on ''[[Doom (1993)|Doom]]'''s PlayStation port, and introduced new features to the engine such as animated sky textures, colored lighting, fog effects, smoother liquid texture animations, among other features while taking advantage of the console's unique 3-point filtering algorithm for its new higher resolution sprites.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_64|title=Doom 64 - The Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> It was, however, often mistaken for another port of the 1993 ''Doom'' during its initial release despite being an entirely new game in the ''Doom'' series due to its title (the original working title was ''The Absolution'', referenced in its final level) at a time where most of its ports struggled to bring the PC version's experience to a console, while competing with the likes of ''GoldenEye 007'' and ''[[Turok: Dinosaur Hunter]]'' with their advanced 3D graphics on the Nintendo 64.<br />
<br />
For many years, ''Doom 64'' did not see a release on other platforms, and with Midway Games filing for bankruptcy in 2009, the chances of the game being re-release elsewhere seemed uncertain, however, there were efforts by ''Doom'' modder [[:Company:Samuel "Kaiser" Villarreal|Samuel "Kaiser" Villarreal]] to port ''Doom 64'' to PC unofficially, starting with his ''Doom 64: Absolution'' project, a total conversion of ''Doom II: Hell on Earth'', followed by ''[[Doom 64 EX]]'', a port that runs off data extracted from the original Nintendo 64 cartridge. Samuel along with fellow ''Doom'' modders Edward "Edward850" Richardson and James "Quasar" Haley went onto to work for [[:Company:Nightdive Studios|Nightdive Studios]] and developed an official port of ''Doom 64'' with a partnership with Bethesda.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WUbyZaPRm0|title=DF Retro EX: Doom 64 - Remaking an N64 Classic For PS4, Xbox One, Switch + PC! - YouTube|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> It was initially announced for the Nintendo Switch to accompany the then-upcoming ''[[Doom Eternal]]'', originally slated for a November 22, 2019 release until they was delayed to March 20, 2020 but announced versions of ''Doom 64'' for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game was released on the planned release date (through [[Store:Bethesda.net|Bethesda.net]] and [[Store:Steam|Steam]] for PC), and features many quality-of-life improvements such as support for higher framerates, widescreen resolutions, an updated HUD message system, as well as a new set of levels that ties the storyline of the classic ''Doom'' games with the modern ''[[Doom (2016)]]'' reboot.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_64_(2020_version)|title=Doom 64 (2020 version) - The Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org|date=2020-10-28}}</ref> The official re-release of ''Doom 64'' also features haptic controller feedback on all versions, a first for the KEX Engine.<br />
<br />
|current state = Bethesda sought to end their partnership with Nightdive Studios after ''Doom 64'' was finally released, thus preventing any further updates or fixing overlooked issues such [[#Sprites are rendered 0.5px off when using DirectX 11|pixel-scaling distortion]] caused by the PC version's stock DirectX 11 shaders and inability to remap key bindings on non-QWERTY keyboard layouts. Samuel has provided players with workarounds to address issues with the DirectX 11 shaders. Almost 2 years after Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, Nightdive was able to return to the work on the game and provided players with a patch to address the most glaring issues with the game.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1148590/view/3088910094673350020|title=DOOM 64 - Minor Update|date=2022-02-25}}</ref> <br />

====Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch====<br />
{{ii}} The [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1148590/discussions/0/1870623253804069634 Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch] is a patch that converts the game files of Doom 64 into a format that the fan-made port from 2008, [[Doom 64 EX]], can recognize and play. This allows owners of Doom 64 to make use of the added features of the fan-made port, such as enabling mouse look, disabling auto-aim, etc.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install the compatibility patch (Windows only)|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Aemony|date=2020-03-23}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download the compatibility patch from the [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1148590/discussions/0/1870623253804069634 Steam thread] and extract it to a temporary folder.<br />
# Browse to {{p|game}} of the official 2020 port of Doom 64.<br />
# Copy the files {{file|DOOM64.WAD}} and {{file|DOOMSND.DLS}} over to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch.<br />
# Browse to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch, launch {{file|run.cmd}}, and press {{key|Enter}}.<br />
# A new folder called {{file|output}} was created that contains the patched [[Doom 64 EX]] compatible files.<br />
# The compatible files can now be moved into the base installation folder of [[Doom 64 EX]] and played using the fan-made port.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Do not overwrite the original files within {{p|game}} of Doom 64 with the patched files as they have been made incompatible with the official port!<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====Restoring red medical crosses====<br />

# Right-click each of these files, click '''Import''', and then replace these files with their uncensored counterparts that you have downloaded earlier.<br />
# Go to File and click '''Save''' to save the changes. You should now see the original red crosses on recovery items. A back-up of the original WAD file is also created automatically.<br />

<br />
===Patches===<br />
====[https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598 Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch]====<br />
{{ii}} A comprehensive bug fixing mod that aims to eventually fix every bug with Fallout 4 not officially resolved by the developers.<br />
<br />
===Mods===<br />
====[https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28143/ Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator]====<br />
{{++}} Adjusts shadow distance and volumetric lighting and godrays quality dynamically to achieve targeted frame rate.<br />
{{++}} Disables frame capping during loading screen to accelerate loading speed.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Installation and configuration|ref=<ref>[https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28143 Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator. at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community]</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download the archived file and extract <code>dxgi.dll</code>, <code>dynaperf.ini</code> and the corresponding <code>fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini</code> file depending on your game version to game directory.<br />
# If no corresponding <code>fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini</code> file is available for your game version either read the mod description page to create a new memory configuration file for your game version or download one that has been already created for your game version by the community. (e.g. [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33632 Configuration Files For Dynamic Performance Tuner And Load Accelerator] mod)<br />
# Open <code>dynaperf.ini</code> with a text editor and modify the following key settings:<br />
:* <code>fTargetFPS=[60]</code> - Target FPS is the highest FPS that the game will be allowed to run at, and is also the baseline for 100% load.<br />
:* <code>fShadowDirDistanceMin=[2500]</code> - Minimum possible shadow distance. (e.g. <code>3000</code> from the Low quality preset)<br />
:* <code>fShadowDirDistanceMax=[12000]</code> - Maximum possible shadow distance. (e.g. <code>20000</code> from the Ultra quality preset)<br />
:* <code>bLoadCapping=[0/1]</code> - Setting it to <code>1</code> enables frame capping during loading screens which disables the loading speed acceleration.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{--}} Since the values are changed dynamically by modifying the values in-memory, the mod is version-dependent and each update in the game executable requires a new memory mapping.<br />
{{ii}} To use it with [[ReShade]] graphics mod rename ReShade's <code>dxgi.dll</code> to <code>dxgi_linked.dll</code>.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=6182558/#entry55512208|title=Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator. - Page 2 - File topics - The Nexus Forums|date=2019-01-16}}</ref><br />

{{++}} Can force V-sync, includes a frame limiter to help prevent stutter.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Installing and Configuring ENBoost|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
<br />
# [http://enbdev.com/download_mod_fallout4.htm Download] the latest version of ENBoost for Fallout 4.<br />
# Unzip all files from the <code>Patch</code> folder in the archive into the installation folder. '''''[See Notes]'''''<br />
# Open <code>enblocal.ini</code> with text editor, modify the following values:<br />
<br />
:* <code>ApplyStabilityPatch=[false/true]</code> - Stability fixes, the effectiveness varies from user to user. If this worsens the performance, set to <code>false</code>.<br />
:* <code>UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=[false/true]</code> - Recommended to enable for maximum performance.<br />
:* <code>ForceVideoMemorySize=[false/true]</code> - Allocates more video memory from RAM and the pagefile.<br />
::* <code>VideoMemorySizeMb=[RAM + VRAM - 300MB for SSDs, '''''or''''' the [http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm VRamSizeTest] result - 300MB for HDDs]</code> - '''''[See Notes]''''' Forces video memory available in Mebibytes.<br />
:* <code>ForceVSync=[false/true]</code> - Different than the game's default Vsync, and helps prevent stuttering and screen tearing.<br />
::* <code>VSyncSkipNumFrames=[0, 1, 2, or 3]</code> - Mainly for users with high refresh rate monitors (>60Hz) and should be set to '0' for other users.<br />
:* <code>EnableFPSLimit=[false/true]</code> - Caps the frame rate to assigned value. This will solve the physics issues relating to high frame rates, may also solve screen tearing.<br />
::* <code>FPSLimit=[61.0]</code> - The frame rate you wish to cap the game at.<br />
:* <code>DisableFakeLights=[false/true]</code> - Disables rim lights for all characters. Has a small performance impact.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} If you use [[ReShade]] or any other tool that uses the <code>d3d11.dll</code> file, rename that tool's DLL file to <code>dxgi.dll</code>.<br />
{{ii}} If the game is installed on an SSD, do not use the VRamSizeTest utility, as it also allocates some HDD space, which can affect your SSD's life.<br />
{{ii}} Use the [http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm VRamSizeTest] utility if the game is installed on an HDD to correctly determine the amount of memory that can be allocated to the game.<br />
{{ii}} Some users report that using the borderless window setting with a frame limit increases FPS stability in the game.<br />

# Change it according to your actual aspect ratio '''''divided by 2'''''<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Like any other worthy hex editing, original and final file size '''must''' remain the same. Therefore if you ''add'' or ''subtract'' a digit, you'll need to ''remove'' or ''add'' a character elsewhere too (commented lines are perfect for this purpose)<br /><br />
{{ii}} If you are interested to horizontal split-screen aspect ratio, you should look instead for <code>"aspect"...."32 by 9"</code> string (value should be your actual aspect ratio '''''multiplied by 2''''')<br />

Open a text editor such as Notepad and type in all the commands you want separating each with a <code>;</code><br />
<br />
When done save the file as filename.cfg in <code>{{p|game}}\left4dead2\cfg\</code>. To run the cfg file, open the console during the game and type in <code>exec filename.cfg</code><br />
If you want the CFG file to run automatically, name it <code>autoexec.cfg</code><br />
<br />
===Notable Workshop mods===<br />
The game has a huge variety of mods, however, what may be "better" is subjective and opinionated (so Shrek Tank won't be listed here, for example). These mods help improve the base game, though use them at your discretion.<br />
<br />
'''Graphics'''<br />
<br />

* [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=235605374 HD Interface, HD Textures For UI] - Adds HD interface elements.<br />
<br />
'''Audio'''<br />
* [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=215993913 Resident Evil Weapon Sounds (low mid)] - Lowers the volume of loud gunshot sounds, but has a glitch with the combat shotgun where there is a very loud static noise after each shot.<br />
* [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=334705265 Shut Up Survivors] - Mutes some of the more annoying survivors' quotes. Important quotes are left intact. <br />
<br />
'''Gameplay'''<br />
* [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121071656 Improved Bots (Advanced)] - Makes the bots less stupid. The advanced version of this mod is not compatible with SFKTeam's custom main menu mod, but [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121071938 Improved Bots (Simple)] is.<br />
<br />
===Third person support===<br />
{{Image|Thirdperson.png|The game in third person, featuring multiple other modifications}}<br />
{{ii}} An instant mod is [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=438477513 3PS]<br />
<br />
Input these 5 commands in the console. <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderaimdist 360<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderdist 90<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderheight 0<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderoffset 20<br />
bind "F10" "thirdpersonshoulder"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Alternate third person which places the player in the center under the crosshair and raises the camera higher.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderaimdist 1000<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderdist 115<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderheight 15<br />
c_thirdpersonshoulderoffset 0<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Pressing F10 will toggle between first and third person. You will have a greater FOV.<br />
<br />
Some warnings:<br />
<br />
*Some cutscene intros may be angled incorrectly.<br />
*You may see a weird inaccurate weapon shadow.<br />
*The crosshair may be slightly off-center. You can mess around with the "cam_idealyaw" function to correct this. This isn't usually a hindrance anyway.<br />
*Flashlight glows may be seen at your character's back.<br />
*When survivors heal you, their animations will look glitchy.<br />
*The camera may occasionally see through walls and objects.<br />
*The shotgun will sound very quiet. Try [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=443211769 this], however, it may cause online games to crash.<br />
*The motion blur for the fire axe and possibly other melee weapons may look ridiculous. [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=130918986 Here's a mod to remove melee motion blur].<br />
*Switching between first and third person in-game may cause the HUD to disappear.<br />
*Dying and entering new areas may revert it to first person.<br />
<br />
====Useful split-screen commands====<br />
Since Split-screen mode in Left 4 Dead 2 isn't officially supported, there are multiple important key settings which aren't immediately available.<br />
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
!Command !! Description !!<br />
|-<br />
|connect_splitscreen localhost [ip-address] 2|| Connect to a LAN or Internet server. [[#Connection types|Direct]] connections must be allowed<br />
|-<br />
|[cmd/cmd2] jointeam (2/3)|| Assign selected player (cmd) to either survivor or infected team<br />
|-<br />
|ss_map <map-name> [realism/survival/versus/[http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Console_commands#Playing_any_Mutation mutation#]|| Play the selected map in the desired mode<br />
|-<br />
|ss_splitmode (0/1/2)|| Toggle horizontal and vertical screen split (0 is auto selection)<br />
|-<br />
|z_difficulty (Easy/Normal/Hard/Impossible) || Change game difficulty<br />
|-<br />
|setinfo name Max || Change player 1 name<br />
|-<br />
|name2 Tony || Change player 2 name<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Text chat with keyboard in controller mode===<br />
{{ii}} If you play using a controller and want to use the text chat (press Y) online, there are two methods. This also applies to the voting keys.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Edit .cfg file|ref={{cn|date=September 2016}}|fix=<br />
Open the 360controller.cfg file in Notepad, which can be found in the cfg folder in the installation folder. If you can't find it, search "360controller" in the game's folder. The text starts with "unbindall", but change it to "//unbindall".<br />
{{ii}} If it still doesn't work, it's possible the bindings were unbound, so go into the in-game control settings and restore the defaults.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Bind the buttons back manually in the in-game control settings|ref={{cn|date=January 2020}}|fix=<br />
Make sure the game settings has the gamepad option enabled. When you get into a level, open the button settings and bind the buttons again on your keyboard.<br />
{{--}}This only lasts until you exit the game, so you would have to do this every time you launch the game.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Enabling HBAO+ for Nvidia graphics cards===<br />
{{ii}} Use the Ambient Occlusion flag <code>0x00000014</code> with <code>Quality</code> or <code>High Quality</code>.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Using Ambient Occlusion flag <code>0x00000014</code>|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Download and run [[Nvidia Profile Inspector]].<br />
# Under <code>Profiles</code> select <code>Left 4 Dead 2</code>.<br />
# Under <code>Ambient Occlusion compatibility</code> insert the flag <code>0x00000014</code>.<br />
# Under <code>Ambient Occlusion usage</code> select <code>Enabled</code>.<br />
# Under <code>Ambient Occlusion setting</code> select your quality of preference, but in order to use HBAO+ you must use <code>Quality</code> or <code>High Quality</code>.<br />
# Click <code>Apply changes</code>.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Remove item/character glows===<br />
Some players may wish to remove the item glows and/or character glows since they are unrealistic and makes knowing where other players/items are too easy.<br />
<br />
In the installation folder, in the "cfg" folder, in the "autoexec.cfg" file in Notepad, add these lines. If there is no "autoexe.cfg" file, then copy and paste "autoexec.360" and rename it.<br />
<br />
Copy and paste the following lines:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
//Glow of barfed survivors<br />
cl_glow_survivor_vomit_b 0<br />
cl_glow_survivor_vomit_g 0<br />

{{--}} Crashes on certain resolutions<br />
{{--}} The polling rate of the mouse must not exceed 125 Hz, otherwise your mouse movement will jump around, causing difficulty in aiming.<br />
{{ii}} The game was designed to work at a locked 60 FPS; see [[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)#Frame rate capping|frame rate capping]] to cap the frame rate.<br />

==Essential improvements==<br />
===Skip intro videos===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-novid</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref name="arguments">[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Launch_options#Command-line_parameters Command Line Options - Valve Developer Community]</ref>}}<br />
{{ii}} <code>-no-browser</code> disables server video ads.<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
====Windows====<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsETZfEpDPA&t=2474]<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section (in Windows 10 in some cases it may cause performance drop)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=It caused performance drop for me}}</ref><br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable DirectX 9Ex mode|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open Steam.<br />
# Go to launch options CSGO.<br />
# Enter <code>-d3d9ex</code> and save.<br />
# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine.<ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD (but not in all cases)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=-d3d9ex worked great on AMD too}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [[Microsoft Windows#Changing default timer resolution|timer resolution]] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} For further solutions check out also this section [[#FPS drops and/or stuttering|below]].<br />
<br />
===Increased Stability (32-bit version of Windows)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|steam}}\userdata\{{p|uid}}\730\local\cfg</code><br />
# Open <code>video.txt</code>.<br />
# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====Linux====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable OpenGL Multithreading|fix=<br />
In Steam's Launch Options... add the following environment variable depending on the GPU you are using:<br />
* <code>__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1</code> if using NVIDIA<br />
* <code>mesa_glthread=true</code> if using AMD/Intel GPU with Mesa driver library (Not needed if on Mesa 20.2 or higher)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Make current custom community server joinable===<br />
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>cl_join_advertise 2</code> command|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/40d8r9/cl_join_advertise_2_lets_your_friends_join_the/ "cl_join_advertise 2" lets your friends join the community server you are playing on without an invitation.: GlobalOffensive]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Host 128 tickrate servers===<br />
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.<br />
<br />

{{ii}} <code>-no-browser</code> disables server video ads.<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
====Windows====<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsETZfEpDPA&t=2474]<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section (in Windows 10 in some cases it may cause performance drop)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=It caused performance drop for me}}</ref><br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable DirectX 9Ex mode|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open Steam.<br />
# Go to launch options CSGO.<br />
# Enter <code>-d3d9ex</code> and save.<br />
# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine.<ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD (but not in all cases)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=-d3d9ex worked great on AMD too}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [[Microsoft Windows#Changing default timer resolution|timer resolution]] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} For further solutions check out also this section [[#FPS drops and/or stuttering|below]].<br />
<br />
===Increased Stability (32-bit version of Windows)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|steam}}\userdata\{{p|uid}}\730\local\cfg</code><br />
# Open <code>video.txt</code>.<br />
# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====Linux====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable OpenGL Multithreading|fix=<br />
In Steam's Launch Options... add the following environment variable depending on the GPU you are using:<br />
* <code>__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1</code> if using NVIDIA<br />
* <code>mesa_glthread=true</code> if using AMD/Intel GPU with Mesa driver library (Not needed if on Mesa 20.2 or higher)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Make current custom community server joinable===<br />
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>cl_join_advertise 2</code> command|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/40d8r9/cl_join_advertise_2_lets_your_friends_join_the/ "cl_join_advertise 2" lets your friends join the community server you are playing on without an invitation.: GlobalOffensive]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Host 128 tickrate servers===<br />
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.<br />

}}<br />
{{ii}} All versions require {{DRM|Steam}}.<br />
<br />
===Microtransactions===<br />
{{Microtransactions<br />
|boost = '''Operations''' are occasionally released. These add new content that are playable by all, but an Operation Pass must be bought to unlock [[cosmetic]]s and special [[loot box]]es.<br />

==Essential improvements==<br />
===Skip intro videos===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-novid</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref name="arguments">[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Launch_options#Command-line_parameters Command Line Options - Valve Developer Community]</ref>}}<br />
{{ii}} <code>-no-browser</code> disables server video ads.<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
====Windows====<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsETZfEpDPA&t=2474]<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section (in Windows 10 in some cases it may cause performance drop)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=It caused performance drop for me}}</ref><br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable DirectX 9Ex mode|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open Steam.<br />
# Go to launch options CSGO.<br />
# Enter <code>-d3d9ex</code> and save.<br />
# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine.<ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD (but not in all cases)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=-d3d9ex worked great on AMD too}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [[Microsoft Windows#Changing default timer resolution|timer resolution]] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} For further solutions check out also this section [[#FPS drops and/or stuttering|below]].<br />
<br />
===Increased Stability (32-bit version of Windows)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|steam}}\userdata\{{p|uid}}\730\local\cfg</code><br />
# Open <code>video.txt</code>.<br />
# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====Linux====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable OpenGL Multithreading|fix=<br />
In Steam's Launch Options... add the following environment variable depending on the GPU you are using:<br />
* <code>__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS</code> if using NVIDIA<br />
* <code>mesa_glthread=true</code> if using AMD/Intel GPU with Mesa driver library (Not needed if on Mesa 20.2 or higher)<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Make current custom community server joinable===<br />
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>cl_join_advertise 2</code> command|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/40d8r9/cl_join_advertise_2_lets_your_friends_join_the/ "cl_join_advertise 2" lets your friends join the community server you are playing on without an invitation.: GlobalOffensive]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Host 128 tickrate servers===<br />
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-tickrate 128</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref name="arguments" />}}<br />
<br />
===[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1325659427 Config Generator]===<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section (in Windows 10 in some cases it may cause performance drop)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=It caused performance drop for me}}</ref><br />

# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine.<ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD (but not in all cases)<ref>{{Refcheck|user=deton24|date=2019-11-30|comment=-d3d9ex worked great on AMD too}}</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />

===Increased Stability (32-bit version of Windows)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|steam}}\userdata\{{p|uid}}\730\local\cfg</code><br />
# Open <code>video.txt</code>.<br />
# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />

* Mention any existing source port (Already released)<br />
===Wine===<br />
* Add the reference table for libraries in Winetricks<br />
* Explain features in Wine Staging/Staging Gallium Nine<br />
* Explaining the native and built-in library<br />
===Linux Native Games===<br />
* Mention which games have an official/unofficial linux port. Either from Loki Software, Ryan C. Gordon aka Icculus.<br />

# Or alternatively, go to <code>{{p|game}}\hl2\media</code><br />
# Delete or rename <code>Valve.bik</code>.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} TF2's default settings are generally not optimized for most users. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use a performance config, such as mastercomfig.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install mastercomfig|ref={{cn|date=August 2019}}|fix=<br />
#Download the latest config from [https://mastercomfig.com/ mastercomfig's website].<br />
#Choose a preset that suits your needs along with any addons that are relevant to you and download the necessary VPK files. If you are not sure which preset to choose, "Medium" is a good one to start with.<br />
#'''WARNING! This will reset ALL of your settings, keybinds, etc. back to defaults.''' Back up or take note of any settings you want to carry over. Follow [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/setup/clean_up/ these instructions] to clear your current TF2 settings before installing the config to reduce the likelihood of issues.<br />
#Place the VPK files you downloaded in your /tf/custom/ folder under your TF2 game directory ([[#Game data|see below for location of base directory]]).<br />
#Follow [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/customization/launch_options/ these directions] to add the necessary launch options to your game. Don't forget to remove your DXLevel launch option after the first launch of the game!<br />
#Boot up the game and test the performance/visual fidelity. If you run into errors, check [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/next_steps/troubleshoot/ the troubleshooting section.]<br />
#If there are a few settings that maxcomfig set that you would like changed without changing presets, you can use [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/customization/modules/ modules] to change individual settings.<br />
{{ii}} If you require further help with mastercomfig, consult [https://docs.mastercomfig.com/en/latest/ the relevant documentation] for assistance.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [[Microsoft Windows#Changing default timer resolution|timer resolution]] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />

<br />
===[[Glossary:Field of view (FOV)|Field of view (FOV)]]===<br />
{{ii}} A FOV slider is available within the options which is limited to 75-90°, but this sets the FOV for a 4:3 aspect ratio. The actual FOV will be adjusted for other aspect ratios, meaning widescreens gain a higher than configured FOV, especialy for 21x9 and 32x9 aspect ratios. For a 16:9 aspect ratio, a setting of 90° results in a FOV slightly above 106. Adjusting the size of the window in windowed mode changes your aspect ratio. Console commands can change the FOV to values below & above the slider's range, but are not allowed in competitive. The viewmodel FOV can also be changed by the use of console commands.<br />
{{ii}} The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLHsfQS9p_Y TF2 Tactics video on FOV] has more information about FOV in TF2 and in general.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=High fov trick on 16x9 monitors with 21x9 resolutions|ref={{cn|date=2019}}|fix=<br />
{{ii}} It is possible to achieve a Actual HFOV:'''121.34''' degrees with a 21x9 aspect ratio resolutions on 16x9, 16x10, 4x3, 5x4 monitors. By creating a custom resolution in CustomResolutionUtility. Note: TF2 doesn't respect custom resolutions, created in NVIDIA control panel. They must only be forced by putting a 21x9 resolution above the standard ones in CRU and switching to a 21x9 resolution before launching TF2. https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/ https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU<br />

<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Plugins|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
{{ii}} It is possible to increase the FOV limit up to 130 or even unplayable 179, using server-side plugins such as [http://tftrue.esport-tools.net/ this one]. However it is important to note that, while allowed by the ETF2L, and while client-side plugins are not classified as a cheats they are not officially supported by Valve. Some cheats include fov increase hacks, so '''use at your own risk'''.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Fix low FPS on Ubuntu (12.10 to 17.04) or any distro with Unity desktop|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
Once the game has loaded and the FPS have dropped below playable:<br />
# Press Esc. to return to the game menu.<br />
# Go to Options -> Video<br />
# Switch Display Mode from Fullscreen -> Windowed<br />

From here on, the game should increase dramatically in performance. <br />

<br />
=====Linux with Cinnamon Desktop=====<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fix low FPS on Linux with Cinnamon Desktop|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
To increase performance:<br />
# Press the Windows (Super) Key to open the mint menu<br />
# Go to System Settings -> Display<br />
# Enable "Skip Compositing Manager", then close the window.<br />
# Launch the game<br />
# Switch Display Mode from Windowed -> Fullscreen<br />
Cinnamon, by default, skips the compositing rendering manager if an application runs fullscreen, which in turn, disables Vsync. Enabling the compositing manager turns '''ON''' Vsync and (depending on the system) slows the game down.<br />

# Optional: Switch back from Windowed -> Fullscreen<br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Glitched colors on Steam version===<br />
{{ii}} The Steam version uses a flawed solution to run the game on modern systems. This results in glitched colors on some systems due to a desktop color depth bug.<br />

# Go to the installation folder.<br />
# Create a new Windows batch file (extension .bat) and insert the following:<br />
<br />
<pre>@ECHO OFF<br />

:start<br />
taskkill /f /im "Explorer.exe"<br />
<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} It is recommended to create the batch file using Wordpad instead of Notepad, as Notepad may not save the line spacing correctly.<br />

'''Key points'''<br />
{{ii}} All official solutions for running the game on modern systems involve disabling {{file|explorer.exe}} while the game is running. As a result, it may not be possible to recover to desktop if the game crashes, forcing a system restart. <br />

{{ii}} All three digital distribution versions of ''Killing Time'' use a slightly different method to run the game on modern systems. The Steam version is known to have glitched colors and graphics on some systems due to an issue with desktop color depth.<br />
<br />
==Essential Improvements==<br />
=[http://cubanraul.altervista.org/kt/index.htm Unofficial 2.1 Patch]=<br />
This patch provides the following changes:<br />
* No need to kill <code>explorer.exe</code> to play the game.<br />
* Fixes video playback from Windows XP to Windows 10<br />
* Much cleaner intro and ending cutscenes, along with stuttering/crackling issues<br />
* Optional CD installation<br />
* Code fixes to prevent the game from crashing<br />
<br />
Despite mentioning that you need the CD of the game to apply it, it can be used without it.<br />

{{ii}} <code>-no-browser</code> disables server video ads.<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsETZfEpDPA&t=2474]<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable DirectX 9Ex mode|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open Steam.<br />
# Go to launch options CSGO.<br />
# Enter <code>-d3d9ex</code> and save.<br />
# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine. <ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Changing_default_timer_resolution timer resolution] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Increased Stability (32-bit Operating Systems)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />

# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Make current custom community server joinable===<br />
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.<br />

{{ii}} All versions require {{DRM|Steam}}.<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
===Skip intro videos===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-novid</code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref name="arguments">[https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Launch_options#Command-line_parameters Command Line Options - Valve Developer Community]</ref>}}<br />
{{ii}} <code>-no-browser</code> disables server video ads.<br />
<br />
===Increase performance===<br />
{{ii}} The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsETZfEpDPA&t=2474]<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Change operating system|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Back up your files and programs.<br />
# Go to [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft site].<br />
# Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.<br />
# Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.<br />
# Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.<br />
# Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.<br />
# You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}}Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable DirectX 9Ex mode|ref=|fix=<br />
# Open Steam.<br />
# Go to launch options CSGO.<br />
# Enter <code>-d3d9ex</code> and save.<br />
# You can also uncap your FPS <code>+fps_max 0</code>.<br />
{{ii}} Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine. <ref>https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2019/03/23362</ref><br />
{{ii}} Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.<br />
{{--}} Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.<br />
{{--}} This can sometimes cause performance problems.<br />
{{ii}} You can keep [https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Changing_default_timer_resolution timer resolution] manually. <br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Disable HPET|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/8p9h2j/making_csgo_feel_smooth_again_disabling_hpet/]</ref>|fix=<br />
Method 1:<br />
# Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.<br />
# To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true<br />
# To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
Method 2:<br />
# Search "Device Manager" on your PC.<br />
# Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.<br />
# Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.<br />
# Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".<br />
# Restart your computer.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Increased Stability (32-bit Operating Systems)===<br />
{{ii}} CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.<br />
{{ii}} The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=setting.mem_level|ref={{cn|date=January 2019}}|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|steam}}\userdata\{{p|uid}}\730\local\cfg</code><br />
# Open <code>video.txt</code>.<br />
# Find <code>setting.mem_level</code> and replace <code>"1"</code> with <code>"0"</code><br />
# Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Make current custom community server joinable===<br />
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>cl_join_advertise 2</code> command|ref=<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/40d8r9/cl_join_advertise_2_lets_your_friends_join_the/ "cl_join_advertise 2" lets your friends join the community server you are playing on without an invitation.: GlobalOffensive]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Host 128 tickrate servers===<br />
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.<br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Game wrapper for modern Windows/Linux/MacOS operating systems===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Modern NFSIISE wrapper|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=grantek|date=January 2018}}</ref>|fix=<br />
* Cross-platform wrapper for the Need For Speed II SE game with 3D acceleration and TCP protocol<br />
* Binary releases for Windows/Linux/MacOS, support for non-x86 CPUs, and build target for Android<br />
* Links: [https://github.com/zaps166/NFSIISE/blob/master/README.md README], [https://github.com/zaps166/NFSIISE/releases Releases].<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Installing original game on 64-bit versions of Windows===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fan-made installer|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
* Fan-made installer can be downloaded from [http://www.nfsplanet.de/en/news/6515 nfsplanet.de]. It comes with required compatibility tweaks and nGlide wrapper.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} {{file|Start Glide.exe}} shuts down {{file|explorer.exe}} for the time of running the game.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Manual installation of Need For Speed 2 SE|ref=<ref name="Sui" />|fix=<br />
* Create a new folder named '''NFS2SE''', somewhere on your hard disk.<br />
* From game's CD copy folders '''FEDATA''' and '''GAMEDATA''' to '''NFS2SE''' on your hard disk<br />
* From a root folder on CD copy files:<br />
<pre>DSETUP.DLL<br />
EACSND.DLL<br />
INSTALL.NFS<br />
NFS2SEA.EXE<br />
NFS2SEA.ICO<br />
NFS2SEN.EXE<br />
NFS2SEN.ICO<br />
SHELL.DLL</pre><br />
to '''NFS2SE''' folder on your hard disk.<br />
* Change an extension of '''INSTALL.NFS''' to WIN (INSTALL.WIN).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Fixing Glide compatibility on modern Windows systems===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fixing compatibility issues|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}|fix=<br />
To fix most of compatibility issues you're going to need a 3dfx wrapper (recommended nGlide) and a small system compatibility patch.<br />
* Download [http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide nGlide] and install it (default settings should work fine).<br />
* Download [http://www.zeus-software.com/files/nglide/nfs2se_patch.zip compatibility patch], extract it and run '''PatchInstall.bat'''.<br />
* To run a game use '''NFS2SEA.EXE''' - this exe file uses 3dfx. '''NFS2SEN.EXE''' is for software renderer only.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fixing sound issues|ref=<ref name="Sui">{{refcheck|user=Suicide machine|date=August 11, 2016}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Download and install [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/28-creative-alchemy-universal Creative ALchemy Universal]<br />
# Run the program and create a new profile for the game.<br />
<br />
If ALchemy is unable to run properly on your pc, then try the alternative method fix by copying the dsound.dll from a Windows XP installation.<br />
#Take dsound.dll from a Windows XP installation or download the dll version 5.3.3790.3959 of dsound from [http://www.dlldownloader.com/dsound-dll/ dllDownloader]<br />
# Copy it and put it in the installation folder just where nfs2sea.exe is.<br />
# Run nfs2sea.exe and enjoy.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Running in software rendered mode on modern systems===<br />
Despite being able to run in 3dfx mode, the software mode of NFSIISE ('''NFS2SEN.EXE''') is unique for being the only way to play with dashboard view camera and it is the version that preserves the original style of the game.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Fixing compatibility issues<br />
To fix most of the compatibility issues, these fixes need to be installed using the Compatibility Administrator from the Microsoft Application Compatibility:<br />
* ForceDirectDrawEmulation<br />
* CorrectFilePaths<br />
* EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace<br />
* GlobalMemoryStatusLie<br />
* SingleProcAffinity<br />
}}<br />
It can be used for both NFSIISE software mode ('''NFS2SEN.EXE''') and NFSII ('''NFSW.EXE'''). To solve problems with audio that may appear, follow the "Fixing sound issues" guide.<br />

==Things To Do==<br />
===General===<br />
* Add links to WineHQ<br />
* Add articles for open source games<br />
* Mention any existing source port (Already released)<br />
===Wine===<br />
* Add the reference table for libraries in Winetricks<br />
* Explain features in Wine Staging/Staging Gallium Nine<br />
* Explaining the native and built-in library<br />
===Linux Native Games===<br />
* Mention which games have an official/unofficial linux port. Either from Loki Software, Ryan C. Gordon aka Icculus.<br />
* Mention which audio the game uses (Is it OSS or ALSA? Does it also uses PulseAudio?)....or not.<br />
* What graphical library it uses. SDL or SDL2?</div>Kenji Kusanagihttps://www.pcgamingwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Linux&diff=833802Linux2019-08-11T09:55:17Z<p>Kenji Kusanagi: Additional changes</p>

'''Key points'''<br />
{{++}} Wide variety of distributions available, allowing unparallelled user choice and customizability across the board.<br />
{{ii}} The quality of native ports on Linux varies. Some games might perform worse when compared to other operating systems; other might perform better.<br />
{{ii}} Many [[:Category:Windows|Windows]] games can be played by using either [https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410#announcements/detail/1696055855739350561 Steam Play] or [[#Wine|Wine]].<br />

==Distributions==<br />
There are two types of release models which distros are using, both have their pros and cons.<br />
<br />
===Fixed Release===<br />
{{++}}Offers stable packages<br />
{{++}}Most distros which use it are beginner friendly<br />
{{++}}Very little maintenance<br />
{{--}}Package versions are usually tied to the distro version, so to get the recent packages, you need to update your OS<br />
{{--}}Stable packages don't contain the newest features. This is especially important in case of GPU drivers<br />
{{--}}Manual intervention is required in order to add user-made repositories in some distros.<br />
{{ii}} Updating the distro to the next version doesn't require a fresh install and is easy to carry out but might take up to few hours (but usually below an hour)<br />

! Distribution !! Based On !! Desktop(s) <ref group="fr note">Default options are marked in bold</ref> !! Release cycle !! Supported by<ref group="fr note">look at Official Support TODO: add it</ref> !! Description<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop Ubuntu ]''' || Debian || GNOME || 6 months, 2 years for LTS || Steam, GoG, many commercial developers ||style="text-align: left;"| The most popular distribution. Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) is officially supported by Steam. If you don't know what to choose, pick this one. Ubuntu non-LTS is updated more often and contains newer packages and functions and is also a great option. Note that as of 19.10, Cannonical will include some of the 32 bit packages if needed.<br />
|-<br />
|| '''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/flavours Pop! OS]''' || Ubuntu || GNOME || 6 months || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note">Support is not official, but the distros are so similar, that everything that works for Ubuntu will work here.</ref> || style="text-align: left;"| A Ubuntu based distro created and maintained by System76 which includes it's own repository. Unlike Ubuntu, it includes much more recent drivers for your graphics card and it's generally more recommended for beginners.<br />
|-<br />
|| '''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/flavours Ubuntu flavours]''' || Ubuntu || Plasma, LXQt, Budgie, MATE, Xfce || 6 months || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note">Support is not official, but the distros are so similar, that everything that works for Ubuntu will work here.</ref> || style="text-align: left;"| Flavours offer different Desktop Environments, but when it comes to compatibility, they are vitually the same as Ubuntu. Choose if you prefer distinct workflow or art style. Newcomerfs from Windows should definetly pick Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Xubuntu or Kubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://linuxmint.com/ Linux Mint]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE || Up to 2 years || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| The most popular beginner-friendly Linux distribution. LMDE 2 Edition is based on Debian. Be aware that the packages may be much older compared to Ubuntu LTS releases, but the main advantage is the built-in kernel upgrader.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://neon.kde.org KDE Neon]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || KDE Plasma || Up to a year || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| A distro created by the KDE community, compared to the Kubuntu (A KDE Plasma flavoured Ubuntu) it provides the latest version of KDE Plasma, while at the same time being able to use packages from Ubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/ SteamOS]''' || Debian (Stable) || GNOME || Varies || Steam || style="text-align: left;"| Linux distribution made by Valve Corporation specifically for Steam Machine or for gaming from couch. It currently provides the latest stable Linux kernel along with newer drivers for GPU. Offers an option to act as a desktop system, it may be behind in terms of packages.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<references group="fr note" /><br />
<br />
===Rolling Release===<br />
{{++}}Provides the latest version of the package once it’s available<br />
{{++}}No distro upgrade is required, as most distros have only one version.<br />
{{--}}An update for the package may cause stability issues, so it is recommended to organize an update by yourself in case a revision gets a release, which fixes stability issues.<br />
{{--}}In some cases, manual intervention is required.<br />
{{--}}No rolling release distribution has any official support from any store<br />
{{ii}}Some distros offer a semi-rolling release, meaning that the package will be tested before the release, it mostly takes less than a month, often a week depending on distro.<br />

==Desktop Environments==<br />
The Linux community has created multiple variations of the desktop environment for you to choose from as by default the system uses the text mode by default, with their own basic software for common use such as file explorer, notepad, virtual terminal etc. along with their own purpose and features.<br />
<br />

! Name !! Min. RAM !! Customizable !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.gnome.org/ GNOME] || 2 GB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
One of the oldest desktop environments which is still continuously updated. The 3rd generation of GNOME has a more tablet focused interface compared to GNOME 2 with a very large set of softwares combined with community-made ones as well as extensions, thankfully the GNOME Classic is included for those who do not like it's theme and it's compositor integrates really well with NVIDIA graphics card, which does not cause any tearing at all. However, it's very limited in customization, forcing you to install GNOME Tweak to change things such as the color theme, icons etc. <br><br />
<br />
For Wayland use, GNOME supports both GBM and EGLStreams APIs which makes it the only DE to support Wayland for every graphics cards that support it.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.kde.org/plasma-desktop KDE Plasma] || 1 GB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
The very 1st desktop environemnt which to this day is still being updated and maintained. Compared to GNOME, it uses less memory while having many of it's features and software included which makes it very attractive to Windows/Mac users while being very customizeable and packed full of options for you to set up and a dedicated option to disable composition when running a software in full screen, providing a better performance in games. NVIDIA users with proprietary driver must use at least 5.12.9 LTS or 5.15.9 which stabilizes the desktop for that matter.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://budgie-desktop.org/home/ Budgie] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by a original Solus developer and currently maintained by Solus Team. It currently serves as an alternative for GNOME 3 with a much more desktop-like interface and bear some similarities to Windows 10.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://developer.linuxmint.com/ Cinnamon] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by Linux Mint Team, Cinnamon brings back the GNOME 2 appearance with a modern twist, while using some of the features present in GNOME 3, including it's compositor's integration with NVIDIA GPU. Allows you to run in Hardware (Default) and Software mode (No Composition).<br />
|-<br />
| [https://xfce.org/ XFCE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as a clone of a Unix-like desktop environment named CDE, it became it's own DE with a much more Windows XP-like appearance and with it's light use of memory is well suited for low end hardware or even for Windows veterans.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://mate-desktop.org MATE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
MATE was born as a spiritual successor to GNOME 2 after a controversial change in GNOME 3. The DE is well suited for common Windows users while providing it's own features such as audio preview by a mouse hover.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://lxqt.org/ LXQT] || 64 MB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as LXDE and later one in combination with Razor-Qt it became LXQt. The most lightweight desktop environment ever created, despite it's limited features and customization along with the lack of compositor it is perfectly suited for the lowest end hardware.<br />

==Kernel==<br />
{{mm}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel Wikipedia page]<br />
{{ii}} It is important to update your Linux kernel as new versions provide security updates, bugfixes, better performance and support for hardware. Your distributions repository contains the latest version for your OS.<br />
There are two main releases of the official Linux kernel:<br />
* the Long Term Support (LTS) is slightly behind in terms of hardware support and features, but offers better stability and has longer support,<br />
* stable release (sometimes called the current release) offers the best hardware support and the newest features. It's the default choice for a gaming machine and should be avoided only if it causes some issues.<br />
<br />
Both releases offer the same security updates.<br />
<br />
=== Kernel Replacement ===<br />
<br />
{{ii}} '''This section is meant for advanced users, you can easily break your OS, if you don't know what you are doing!'''<br />
<br />
While both stable and LTS Linux kernel releases can be used for gaming, there are also community-made ones which add features and improvements, thus '''may''' improve your gaming experience even further. '''Be warned that you may have to install the DKMS version of the drivers along with the kernel headers to make your hardware useable with multiple kernels''', this is not required if the kernel already includes it.<br />
<br />
The most notable releases:<br />
<br />

* [https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel Linux Zen]<br />
* [https://liquorix.net/ Liquorix]<br />
<br />
{{ii}} For help with installing different kernels on distro of your choice, you should go to kernel version official website or your distros forum and wiki.<br />
{{ii}} Be sure to keep the current kernel you have in case if things go wrong.<br />

===Microcode===<br />
{{mm}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
It is very important to install the microcode for your CPU as the manufacturer provides security and stability updates.<br />
<br />
Most distributions use either package manager or some kind of firmware/drivers manager to update your microcode.<br />

<br />
AMD/ATI GPU must use the open source driver as they provide the best performance than the proprietary ones, while NVIDIA users should stick to the proprietary ones. However there are some things to remember:<br />
* '''Never install drivers from the respective GPU brand's website unless you are forced to!''' since some installers would generally require you to install through text mode only like in case with NVIDIA, with AMD however they have prepared packages that can be ran for distros they support. Otherwise rely on the package manager one instead to ease up the installation.<br />
* If forced to use Catalyst, Nvidia 173 or Nvidia 96 drivers, you must downgrade XOrg to the version it got the last support.<br />
* Before using the open source driver '''you must install LLVM and Linux Firmware'''.<br />
* As always when using the 64 bit system, install the 32 bit version of the drivers if possible.<br />
<br />

====Optimus Support====<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/6ftq10/the_ultimate_guide_to_setting_up_nvidia_optimus/ NVIDIA Optimus Linux Guide]<br />
{{--}} To this day the Optimus support in NVIDIA GPUs is still considered to be troublesome. It is recommended to use fixed release distributions for this case.<br />
In case of laptops which contains NVIDIA Optimus support it is recommended to have PRIME enabled, which can be done by installing additional package, follow the distro’s documentation to learn which one. The alternative to it can be NVIDIA XRun package and Bumblebee's optirun/primusrun (Not recommended as it is no longer in development), but then the manual intervention is required (With the exception of the former). The linked guide will explain in detail the differences between them, as well as how to use them.<br><br />
<br />
AMD users have a much easier time with that feature as it only requires running the game with the <code>DRI_PRIME=1</code> command.<br />
<br />
===Audio===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound_system ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
Audio is mostly handled by ALSA, with or without PulseAudio. You may set up to use ALSA only, however it is mostly recommended to use with the latter, as it acts as a main central configuration point for audio itself and some games are set to use PA by default. When using a sound card you must install ALSA Firmware package from your repository, while in case of using Bluetooth headphones in PulseAudio, install it's PulseAudio Bluetooth library.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
When it comes to API in Linux games, there are multiple of em such as OpenAL (Otherwise known as OpenAL Soft), SDL_mixer, SteamAudio, FMOD and more. But the most popular ones are the first two APIs.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You may also encounter the OSS, also known as Open Sound System, released in 1995, it was used as a default sound manager which was added into the kernel, until it was replaced by ALSA in 2.5 version release of Linux kernel. Linux games released till 2001 were using it to play any sound. Even to this day, the OSS is still being updated but it is not much used anymore. If you ever encounter a software where it supports only this audio interface and complaing about the lack of <code>/dev/dsp</code>, you have to either install the OSS itself and set the audio up (the hard way) or rely on emulation. In general, installing the OSSP package and enabling/starting it's daemon process (osspd) is enough to do it as it supports both PulseAudio and ALSA, but it is not updated frequently.<br /><br />
<br />
Another way is to use the OSS emulator for the specific audio interface:<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
* PulseAudio can use the <code>padsp</code> command which can be found with the PulseAudio utility package or in some distros, already included with the main software.<br />
* ALSA users should install the alsa-oss package and then use the <code>aoss</code>, if using a 64 bit system you need to use the <code>-32</code> argument if you run a 32-bit application.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Do not run <code>aoss</code> if you are using PulseAudio, all you will get is a static noise mixed with the white ones at high volume!'''<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
In case of MIDI, installing Timidity is required along with either soundfonts or FreePats package. Depending on the distro, it will either set it up automatically or require manual intervention. Keep in mind that if you are using PulseAudio, all the sounds, beside the MIDI music, will be muted unless you include the -iA -Os argument for the timidity command as either an autostart or as a user-made service.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You can also use Fluidsynth, however bear in mind that it uses more CPU and needs to be set up to work alongside with PulseAudio, but compared to Timidity, it is more up to date.<br />
<br />
===Input Devices===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput Libinput ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Touchpad ArchLinux Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg Keyboard Configuration in Xorg ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchscreen Touchscreen ArchLinux article]<br />
<br />
The keyboard and mouse are supported on the go, however if using XOrg you must have it's input-libinput (input-evdev being the alternative) package installed as well in order to work, however by default it will support only 3 buttons for the mouse, in order to use all of them, you have to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_buttons configure it manually]. When using a laptop you may also need to install XOrg's Synaptic package to have access to all features of your touchpad, against the touchscreen it will either work out of the box (besides some calibration) or being very tedious, especially when it is not supported by Linux kernel.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Wayland users only requires the '''libinput''' package itself, which also supports XOrg.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If using a mouse dedicated for gaming, there is a universal configurator called [https://github.com/libratbag/piper/ Piper]. Due to the fact that the software is still new, there is a limited support for some mouse devices, it does support some of the Logitech mouses. However, there are some other ones made specifically for a product from one company:<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/z3ntu/RazerGenie RazerGenie] - Keyboard and Mouse setup for Razer products<br />
* [https://github.com/GabMus/razerCommander RazerCommander] - Ditto<br />
* [https://bues.ch/cms/hacking/razercfg RazerCFG] - A much more simplified configurator for Razer products<br />
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/roccat/ Roccat Configurator] - An official configurator for Roccat products<br />
* [https://github.com/lah7/polychromatic Polychromatic] - Yet another configurator for Razer products<br />
<br />
===Controller Support===<br />
All the controllers such as DualShock 4,DirectInput gamepads and XInput ones (Such as Xbox 360) are supported, however in case of issues regarding XInput ones, you may wish to install xboxdrv. For calibration purpose, you can install the graphical interface of JSTest package to do it.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
The most interesting thing is the Steam Controller, as despite requiring Steam to make it work, it’s entirely possible to use it outside of it with the use of third-party scripts which lets you emulate it as an actual gamepad or a mouse. Even so, far to use it on Wine, if it’s set properly.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible to use SDL2's binary for testing the Joystick or Gamepad to set up a non-supported controller to work with SDL2 applications [http://boilingsteam.com/making-third-party-gamepads-work-with-steam-games].<br /><br />
<br />
If dealing with a game that has a very limited or no controller support at all, the [https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro AntiMicro] has you covered. It allows you to bind keyboard and mouse inputs into the controller, however it works only in Xorg environment. Fedora has the stable build already available in their repository, Debian users should use the [http://packages.libregeek.org/ LibreGeek]'s repository, especially Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distributions which can be added with [https://launchpad.net/%7Emdeguzis/+archive/ubuntu/libregeek this PPA]. Otherwise, you need to compile the program on your own, which luckily includes the instructions and a list of dependencies required for compiling.<br />
<br />
==Other==<br />
<br />
===Disk Partitioning===<br />
By default the most common format used in Linux is '''EXT4''' which manages the files much more efficiently than Windows' NTFS, even so far to decrease loading time in games at the cost of being case sensitive, where for example <code>File1</code> is treated differently than <code>file1</code>. While NTFS is supported, it is generally not recommended to use it for running installed games from it as it may cause compatibility issues depending on the software.<br />
<br />
The most important aspect is the swap partition with it's own disk format, they generally act as a RAM replacement, the absence of it will cause any software to shut down due to low memory and it's commonly used when putting the PC under Hibernation or Sleep mode. The size of the swap disk depends on how much RAM you have.<br />
<br />
If less than 8 GB of RAM, you must increase the swap disk.<br />
If more than 8 GB of RAM, decrease the swap disk size.<br />
<br />
It is generally recommended to partition your disk in this particular order:<br />
/ (Root)<br />
Home<br />
Swap disk<br />
<br />
The partition order also affects the performance of your HDD/SSD as the 1st partition has a higher priority than the other ones, you can create multiple partitions for each directory with a specific disk size to use or use the entire free space on Root and leave some for swap.<br />
<br />
===Wayland or XOrg?===<br />
While hanging around the Linux community you have most likely heard about the Wayland, which is meant to replace the decades old XOrg display server raising the question if you should consider switching to it or stay.<br />
<br />
The main advantage of Wayland are:<br />
* Passive compositioning when fetching pixel data from the client, which removes any kind of latency.<br />
* Isolating I/O of every window and provide smaller access to root for running the code, improving the security.<br />
* Acts as both display server and as a compositor. Whereas XOrg only acts as a former but a 3rd party compositor is required.<br />
* Backwards compatibility with softwares that rely on XOrg through XWayland.<br />
<br />
This all however depends on the driver which your GPU uses as there are two buffer APIs which Wayland makes use of, as well as it's implementation for the desktop environment.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! GPU!! Driver !! Buffer API<br />

|-<br />
| Intel<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="2"| NVIDIA<br />
|-<br />
| Proprietary (From 364.12+)|| EGLStreams<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Both GNOME 3 and KDE Plasma supports Wayland for all APIs (With Plasma's case, EGLStreams support began with 5.16). NVIDIA proprietary driver however are way behind in terms of supporting it as it lacks most of the key extensions such as Vulkan support under it along with low performance on XWayland, forcing you to use XOrg instead.<br />
<br />
AMD and Intel users however, contains all the required extensions for a full experience.<br />
<br />
Certain APIs used for software would require a specific package or an environment variable to run in Wayland mode<br />
* GTK3 - Supported and enabled by default since 3.20, if not, use the <code>GDK_BACKEND=wayland</code> command at the beginning.<br />
* Qt5 - Requires the Qt5 Wayland package. After that you can run the Qt 5 application with the <code>-platform wayland</code> command prompt.<br />
* SDL2 - Added in 2.0.2 enabled by default since 2.0.4. If not, use <code>SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland</code> command before running the application. You can enforce newer SDL2 on games and use the command, althou there may be a risk of graphical glitches to appear.<br />
* GLFW - Install the Wayland version package of GLFW instead of X11, support added in 3.2.<br />
* EFL - Enabled by default.<br />
* Clutter - Included with clutter package<br />
* FreeGLUT - Has initial support.<br />
<br />
===Benchmarking===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Benchmarking ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://manerosss.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/howto-gallium-hud/ Gallium HUD Guide]<br />
It is entirely possible to benchmark native Linux games in this system by using the [http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com Phoronix Test Suite]. While it is not in GUI form, it's actually very easy to use. You will need to download any game you wish to benchmark through this program and later on run it. The biggest advantage is that once it's completed, it will save the information as a webpage which the program automatically generates, creating a separate result is not required, as the program can also include it to the existing ones, making a comparison between the hardware you have used or settings much easier.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If decided to benchmark on your own, whenether the game has a built-in benchmark or not, using '''Gallium HUD''' is recommended. Due to the option of displaying the FPS, CPU or even the GPU load graph while running the software and can be customized to your need and it is available when the MESA package (version 13 or newer) has been installed. This option is only available for AMD, Intel HD and Nouveau.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Another much simpler and available for every kind of GPU is the '''glxosd''' which requires installing the package with the same name and just like Gallium HUD, you need to type <code>glxosd</code> before launching a game. The settings can be changed in the ''glxosd_config.lua'' file located in <code>/etc/glxosd/</code>. It is recommended to change the refresh rate of displaying the information as by default it will show the current info after 3 seconds (In config file it's 3000).<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Steam users can use Valve's [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/voglperf voglpref] which only works for Steam. It will display both informations in the Terminal and at the custom website which can be accessed privately, from there you perform any task you want, although you need to know the SteamID of the game you wish to benchmark.<br />
<br />
===PCI Passthrough===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
{{ii}}[https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/ /r/VFIO reddit page]<br />
Since Linux 3.9 and recent QEmu version, it is possible to passthrough a graphics card, motherboard or even other hardwares into the virtual machine. The main advantage of it is having a native GPU working on Windows 7/8/10 in virtual machine such as the KVM or QEmu, which allows you to play Windows games on it without even using the dual-boot or relying on Wine to do so! However, there are some disadvantages:<br />
<br />
* Your CPU must support hardware virtualization and IOMMU<br />
* Your motherboard must also support IOMMU<br />
* Your GPU must support UEFI<br />
* You need a 2nd hardware for PCI Passthrough<br />
* It takes some time to set up and the whole process may be a little tough for beginners<br />
<br />
The following links and the subreddit can be used to learn about the process. Keep in mind that it is not possible to perform a PCI Passthrough from Windows. This can be done only in Linux itself!<br />
<br />
==[[Wine]]==<br />

{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/ /r/wine_gaming]<br />
{{mm}}[https://appdb.winehq.org/ Application Database]<br />
WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer which allows you to run Windows programs in Unix/Linux environment, it’s main advantage is a wide support of Windows versions ranging from 3.11 to Windows 10 and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of their systems (32 bit only if you have a 32 bit version of Wine). Besides that some games may even work better than on native Windows such as games which use OpenGL or Vulkan rendering. However a manual intervention may be required if there are issues and checking the WineHQ’s App Database to see if it’s compatible and how to make it work. There are multiple versions of this program each with their own differences:<br />
<br />
* Normal<br />
* Staging - Provides additional features such as CSMT which may or may not improve the performance of the game and contains community-made patches which improves the compatibility.<br />
* Gallium Nine - Uses Gallium3D State Tracker, which dramatically improves the performance for games using DirectX 9, as it won’t translate Direct3D calls into OpenGL.<br />
* Proton - A fork of Wine created by Valve and CodeWeavers which includes special patches and additional addons such as DXVK, FAudio, ESync etc. mainly dedicated for gaming and is integrated with Steam, but it is possible to use without it.<br />
* [https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/wine-tkg-git tkg] - Considered to be a "Wine to rule them all!" it contains a large set of patches and features from other community project to provide the best performance and compatibility for games and can be easily customized to your preference, however it was mainly made for ArchLinux (and distros based on it), but it is possible to use it in other distributions. A Protonified version uses Proton as a base instead.<br />
<br />
So far only AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards which rely on open source drivers have a support for Gallium 3D Nine which greatly benefits the compatibility and performance with DirectX 9-based games.<br />
<br />
If WINE itself is hard to use there are also front-ends which may improve your experience with it:<br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* There are no best distros, it all depends on your need. You may be switching between it until you find a perfect one, commonly called “distro hopping”.<br />
* Always ask the forum or refer to the documentation of the distro in case you have a problem. ArchLinux one can be used regardless the distro you are using.<br />
* In some distros, such as ArchLinux, you may want to check the main page before updating, sometimes a manual intervention is required, but will always provide instructions what to do. Not required for fixed release type distros.<br />
* You don’t have to keep making an update if a new version is released in a rolling release distro, you can always do it later. It’s actually recommended to do it after some time to avoid any stability issue.<br />
* Always use virtual machines such as VirtualBox to learn about the distro you want to use. Some distros have a LiveCD or LiveUSB which allows you to check the distro out before installing or even use it for the maintenance. Make sure to install any utilities related to VirtualBox at the Linux distro you are emulating such as graphics drivers.<br />
* Some keys on your keyboard are labeled differently in Linux world. Meta4/Super key are actually Windows key, while "^X" in text mode is actually Ctrl+X.<br />
* Almost all of the desktop environments have their own Terminal, you can install a 3rd party ones which generally are more feature rich.<br />
* If you are confused with using the package manager in Terminal for each distro, [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta this] page will help you.<br />
* Having a second workstation is extremely useful in case if the game hangs out or freezes without any option to minimize it back to the desktop. Mostly happens to the Xorg/X11 server display.<br />
* Files and folders can be hidden by adding "." at the beginning of the name.<br />
* If using a 64-bit version of the distro. Always make sure to install the 32-bit package counterpart for the compatibility!<br />
* Configuration files for games and applications are stored in your Home directory which are mostly hidden. Either at the <code>~/.config</code>, <code>~/.local/share</code> or the <code>~/.<application/developer name></code> directory.<br />
* If someone tells you to use this command <code>sudo rm -Rf /</code>, don't do it unless you want to have a bad time.<br />

==Improvements==<br />
===Hardware===<br />
'''Disable Mitigation for Intel CPUs'''<br />
{{--}}'''WARNING!''' Be aware that disabling this kernel parameter will cause your PC to be susceptible to multiple vulnerabilities found in Intel processors such as Spectre, Meltdown, Zombieland etc. '''use it at your own risk!''' Otherwise, use AMD processors instead.<br />
{{ii}} Depending on the Intel CPU, disabling the Mitigation will increase the performance up to 50% or more. The following parameter used in here is available only in 5.1.13 kernel or newer, for older see [https://linuxreviews.org/HOWTO_make_Linux_run_blazing_fast_(again)_on_Intel_CPUs this guide].<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Edit the GRUB settings|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=<br />
Open up the <code>grub</code> file found in <code>/etc/default/</code> with a text editor as root and in <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=</code> add <code>mitigations=off</code> at the end.<br />
<br />
Re-generate the grub.cfg using one of these commands as root:<br />
<pre><br />
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg<br />
<br />
update-grub # Used by Ubuntu based distros, easy version of the 1st one.<br />
</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Disable Mouse Acceleration in XOrg'''<br />
{{ii}} Some desktop environments offer an option to set up the mouse acceleration directly from the settings menu (Such as KDE Plasma, GNOME and later on MATE)<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Create a new Xorg rule|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=<br />
Create a config file in '''/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/''' as '''<code>any number</code>-<code>custom name</code>.conf''' (for example '''50-mouse-acceleration.conf''', keep in mind that it does not accept spaces in names) as super user/root and add the following script:<br />
<pre><br />
Section "InputClass"<br />
Identifier "My Mouse"<br />
Driver "libinput"<br />
MatchIsPointer "yes"<br />
Option "AccelProfile" "flat"<br />
EndSection<br />
</pre><br />
Then restart the system or Xorg (In most distros it's {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|Backspace ←}})<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Improve Shutdown Time In Systemd'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Edit the system.conf|fix=<br />
In some desktop environments such as LXQt, the system shutdown or restart process may take longer due to Systemd having the time to stop the session set to 1 minute 30 seconds by default.<br />
# Edit as a root the system.conf file located in <code>/etc/systemd/</code><br />
# Find '''DefaultTimeoutStartSec''' and '''DefaultTimeoutStopSec''', uncomment them if necessary and set the time limit in seconds.<br />
# Type <code>sudo systemctl daemon-reload</code><br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
Install '''watchdog''' package and enable/run the watchdog service.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Resolution Scaling with XRandr'''<br /><br />
<br />
It is entirely possible to scale the resolution through multiplications (<code>--scale</code>) or by resolution (<code>--scale-from</code>) with <code>xrandr</code> command. Provided that you input the monitor name and your current resolution, which can be learned by using <code>xrandr -q</code> command (It will also list available resolutions).<br /><br />
<br />
Here are some examples:<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --scale 0.5x0.5</code> - this will downscale the resolution by 0.5 while using 1024x768 resolution in VGA1 monitor.<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA3 --mode 1920x1080 --scale-from 1440x900</code> - This command will imitate the 1440x900 resolution under 1080p in your VGA3 monitor.<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
<br />
'''Use Feral Game Mode to improve the performance'''<br />
{{ii}} Most distros includes the software in their repository, it is recommended to install both 64 and 32 bit versions to apply in every game, if not, the source code can be found in the [https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode GitHub page].<br />
{{++}} Supports custom scripts<br />
{{++}} Developers can use it to implement in their games. <br />
Feral Game Mode is used by Feral Interactive to provide optimization in their games (From Rise Of The Tomb Raider) when being ran, it provides changes to these following processes:<br />
* CPU governor<br />
* Input/Output priority<br />
* Process niceness<br />
* Kernel scheduler<br />
* Screensaver inhibiting<br />
* GPU performance mode (NVIDIA and AMD), GPU overclocking (NVIDIA)<br />
<br />
Once the package is installed, you can activate it when running other games with <code>gamemoderun *game executable/launcher*</code>, on Steam add <code>gamemoderun %command%</code> into Launch Options.<br />
<br />
'''Enable 32 bit support for your distro'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable 32-bit library support in Ubuntu/Debian based distros||fix=<br />
As Ubuntu/Debian 64 bit distros have 32 bit libraries disabled by default, this can cause compatibility issues with the software (Especially with upgrading Wine). To enable it you must use these following commands:<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
sudo apt update<br />
</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''List missing dependencies'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=List the missing dependencies|fix=<br />
As GOG, Steam and other stores mostly support Ubuntu due to it's popularity in both making another distribution (Such as Linux Mint) or wide use, there can be a limited support for the other distros such as ArchLinux, Fedora etc. Mostly in terms of requiring dependencies to run the game or a software.<br />
<br />
The <code>ldd</code> command can be used to check which dependency does it require and if they are in your system.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary file><br />
</pre><br />
After running the command, it'll list all the *.so files the software uses, if there is a "Not found" somewhere, this is the moment to learn which package does it contain the file.<br />
<br />
The missing dependency checkup can be even easier with the inclusion of the <code>grep</code> command.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary_file> | grep "Not found"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This will only look for the lines related to "Not found" only, if nothing shows up then you have everything you need.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Improve compiling speed in AUR (Manjaro, Antergos, ArchLinux)|fix=<br />
Open makepkg.conf as root and under '''MAKEFLAGS''' add <code>-j#</code>. Where <code>#</code> is the sum of (number of CPU cores you wish to use) + 1</code> (so if you wish to use 4 cores, ya need to put -j5 for example)<br />
{{ii}}Keep in mind that some programs requires using one core for the stability sake.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Create a script which the game uses libraries from your system instead'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Make a native executable for your game|fix=<br />
{{ii}} This method may improve the compatibility and sometimes even improve the performance of it on your Linux system. Can be useful in older Linux games that rely on older SDL interface such as [[Majesty]].<br />
1. Create an empty text file and open it with any text editor.<br /><br />
<br />
2. Add this following script:<br />
<pre><br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library /path/to/executable<br />
</pre><br />
Replace <code>/path/to/library</code> with one of these paths:<br />
* If the game is 64-bit <code>/usr/lib64</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit and you are using a 64-bit system <code>/usr/lib32</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit <code>/usr/lib</code><br />
3. Once done, save it and make it executable using either <code>chmod</code> command or via Properties with your file manager.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
* You are required to learn which library does the game uses and install them if not available. Each game has it's own library folder which you may learn about it.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Common Fixes==<br />
===Hardware===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=The NVIDIA DKMS driver won't install after updating it|fix=<br />
{{ii}} If none of them won't work, you may have to downgrade your kernel and wait for the update that fixes it. Provided that you or someone else reported this issue.<br />
'''Text Mode'''<br />
# Boot up to your kernel<br />
# Enter the text mode by pressing {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|F2}}-{{key|F10}} and if necessary, stop the display manager.<br />
# Type in as root, <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. If everything is done successfully type <code>reboot</code>.<br />
<br />
'''LiveCD/LiveUSB'''<br />
# Boot to the LiveCD/LiveUSB<br />
# Mount your partition(s) using <code>mount /dev/sd<disk and partition</code> and Chroot it with <code>chroot <root partition></code> (In ArchLinux system it's <code>arch-chroot</code> instead).<br />
# Type in <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. Once it's done without any errors, you can restart the system.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set up a primary monitor in multi-monitor setup|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Install <code>xrandr</code> using your linux distribution's package manager.<br />
# Run <code>xrandr</code> from a terminal emulator and find the name of the monitor you want to set as the primary (i.e. "HDMI-0").<br />
# Run <code>xrandr --output <name> --primary</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{++}} To automate this when the system starts, prepend the command to your <code>~/.xinitrc</code>-file, or your desktop environment's equivalent.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=No sound|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
Open the Terminal and type as root <code>gpasswd -a <username> audio</code>, if that did not work then:<br />
# Open the <code>group</code> file as root in a text editor located in '''/etc''' folder.<br />
# Find the following line <pre>audio:x:29:pulse</pre><br />
# Add a comma and your username ex: <pre>audio:x:29:pulse,tux</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Crackling sound/audio delay in PulseAudio||fix=<br />
Type in terminal this command to stop and then start PulseAudio at the same time:<br />
<pre><br />
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start<br />
</pre><br />
{{ii}}You can bind this command as a keyboard command in your DE.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Screen Tearing|fix=<br />
{{ii}} You may also use GNOME, Cinnamon and KDE Plasma which use their own compositor that directly communicates with the GPU without any performance loss from NVIDIA side.<br />
NVIDIA users can fix the screen tearing by enabling '''Force Composition Pipeline''' in NVIDIA Settings, if it persists, enable '''Force Full Composition''' (Keep in mind that it reduces the performance in games even more).<br><br />
<br />
AMD and Intel HD users do not have to do anything as DRI3 handles the refresh rate by default without compromising the performance, provided the compositor contains the Present extension. <br><br />
<br />
If it persists, chances are you may be required to install and use a 3rd party compositor such as Compiz, Compton etc.<br />

'''Key points'''<br />
{{--}} Some of the functions like physics, HUD animation etc. are affected by a framerate. Having higher than 30 will for example cause a simple landing to lose most of the health or even death.<br />
{{ii}} Only in Windows version you can change the directory of the installation. DOS version is fixed to <code>C:/CRYO/DREAMS</code><br />

==Distributions==<br />
There are two types of release models which distros are using, both have their pros and cons.<br />
<br />
===Fixed Release===<br />
{{++}}Offers stable packages<br />
{{++}}Most distros which use it are beginner friendly<br />
{{++}}Very little maintenance<br />
{{--}}Package versions are usually tied to the distro version, so to get the recent packages, you need to update your OS<br />
{{--}}Stable packages don't contain the newest features. This is especially important in case of GPU drivers<br />
{{--}}Manual intervention is required in order to add user-made repositories in some distros.<br />
{{ii}} Updating the distro to the next version doesn't require a fresh install and is easy to carry out but might take up to few hours (but usually below an hour)<br />
<br />

! Distribution !! Based On !! Desktop(s) <ref group="fr note">Default options are marked in bold</ref> !! Release cycle !! Supported by<ref group="fr note">look at Official Support TODO: add it</ref> !! Description<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop Ubuntu ]''' || Debian || GNOME || 6 months, 2 years for LTS || Steam, GoG, many commercial developers ||style="text-align: left;"| The most popular distribution. Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) is officially supported by Steam. If you don't know what to choose, pick this one. Ubuntu non-LTS is updated more often and contains newer packages and functions and is also a great option.<br />
|-<br />
|| '''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/flavours Ubuntu flavours]''' || Ubuntu || Plasma, LXQt, Budgie, MATE, Xfce || 6 months || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note">Support is not official, but the distros are so similar, that everything that works for Ubuntu will work here.</ref> || style="text-align: left;"| Flavours offer different Desktop Environments, but when it comes to compatibility, they are vitually the same as Ubuntu. Choose if you prefer distinct workflow or art style. Newcomerfs from Windows should definetly pick Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Xubuntu or Kubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://linuxmint.com/ Linux Mint]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE || Up to 2 years || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| The most popular beginner-friendly Linux distribution. LMDE 2 Edition is based on Debian. Be aware that the packages may be much older compared to Ubuntu LTS releases, but the main advantage is the built-in kernel upgrader.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://neon.kde.org KDE Neon]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || KDE Plasma || Up to a year || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| A distro created by the KDE community, compared to the Kubuntu (A KDE Plasma flavoured Ubuntu) it provides the latest version of KDE Plasma, while at the same time being able to use packages from Ubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/ SteamOS]''' || Debian (Stable) || GNOME || Varies || Steam || style="text-align: left;"| Linux distribution made by Valve Corporation specifically for Steam Machine or for gaming from couch. It currently provides the latest stable Linux kernel along with newer drivers for GPU. Offers an option to act as a desktop system, it may be behind in terms of packages.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<references group="fr note" /><br />
<br />
===Rolling Release===<br />
{{++}}Provides the latest version of the package once it’s available<br />
{{++}}No distro upgrade is required, as most distros have only one version.<br />
{{--}}An update for the package may cause stability issues, so it is recommended organize an update by yourself in case a revision gets a release, which fixes stability issues.<br />
{{--}}In some cases, manual intervention is required.<br />
{{--}}No rolling release ditribution has any official support from any store<br />
{{ii}}Some distros offer a semi-rolling release, meaning that the package will be tested before the release, it mostly takes less than a month, often a week depending on distro.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Distribution !! Based On !! Desktop(s)<ref group="rr note">Default options are marked in bold</ref> !! Description<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://manjaro.org/ Manjaro]''' || ArchLinux || '''Plasma''', '''XFCE''', '''GNOME'''<ref group="rr note">The community manages other versions with their own desktop environment</ref> || style="text-align: left;"| Provides its own official repository has exclusive tools for installing various Linux kernels and managing your hardware drivers. The packages are semi-rolling meaning that it takes longer for the new version of the application to be released (Up to 2 weeks) until it's absolutely stable enough.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://solus-project.com/ Solus]''' || Independent || '''Budgie''', GNOME, MATE || style="text-align: left;"| Despite following the rolling release model it provides stable packages and features great hardware compatibility with any GPU. Includes a special tool called Linux Steam Integration (LSI) which allows you to easily customize Steam ranging from using the libraries from your system (Native mode) or force 32-bit mode. Only stable releases of library and software are added with a very few exceptions (Such as NVIDIA's Vulkan Beta Drivers)<br />
|}<br />
<references group="rr note" /><br />
<br />
==Desktop Environments==<br />
The Linux community has created multiple variations of the desktop environment for you to choose from as by default the system uses the text mode by default, with their own basic software for common use such as file explorer, notepad, virtual terminal etc. along with their own purpose and features.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="nowrap;"<br />
|-<br />
! Name !! Min. RAM !! Customizable !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.gnome.org/ GNOME] || 2 GB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
One of the most oldest (and 2nd) desktop environments which to this day is constantly updated. The 3rd generation of GNOME has a much more tablet-like appearance compared to previous ones with a very large set of softwares combined with community-made ones as well as extensions, thankfully the GNOME Classic is included for those who do not like it's theme and it's compositor integrates really well with NVIDIA graphics card, which does not cause any tearing at all. However, it's very limited in customization, forcing you to install GNOME Tweak to change things such as the color theme, icons etc. <br><br />
<br />
For Wayland use, GNOME supports both GBM and EGLStreams APIs which makes it the only DE to support Wayland for every graphics cards that support it.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.kde.org/plasma-desktop KDE Plasma] || 1 GB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
The very 1st desktop environemnt which to this day is still being updated and maintained. Compared to GNOME, it uses less memory while having many of it's features and software included which makes it very attractive to Windows/Mac users while being very customizeable and packed full of options for you to set up and a dedicated option to disable composition when running a software in full screen, providing a better performance in games. NVIDIA users with proprietary driver must use at least 5.12.9 LTS or 5.15.9 which stabilizes the desktop for that matter.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://budgie-desktop.org/home/ Budgie] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by a original Solus developer and currently maintained by Solus Team. It currently serves as an alternative for GNOME 3 with a much more desktop-like interface and bear some similarities to Windows 10.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://developer.linuxmint.com/ Cinnamon] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by Linux Mint Team, Cinnamon brings back the GNOME 2 appearance with a modern twist, while using some of the features present in GNOME 3, including it's compositor's integration with NVIDIA GPU. Allows you to run in Hardware (Default) and Software mode (No Composition).<br />
|-<br />
| [https://xfce.org/ XFCE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as a clone of a Unix-like desktop environment named CDE, it became it's own DE with a much more Windows XP-like appearance and with it's light use of memory is well suited for low end hardware or even for Windows veterans.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://mate-desktop.org MATE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
MATE was born as a spiritual successor to GNOME 2 after a controversial change in GNOME 3. The DE is well suited for common Windows users while providing it's own features such as audio preview by a mouse hover.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://lxqt.org/ LXQT] || 64 MB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as LXDE and later one in combination with Razor-Qt it became LXQt. The most lightweight desktop environment ever created, despite it's limited features and customization along with the lack of compositor it is perfectly suited for the lowest end hardware.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Kernel==<br />
{{mm}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel Wikipedia page]<br />
{{ii}} It is important to update your Linux kernel as new versions provide security updates, bugfixes, better performance and support for hardware. Your distributions repository contains the latest version for your OS.<br />
There are two main releases of the official Linux kernel:<br />
* the Long Term Support (LTS) is slightly behind in terms of hardware support and features, but offers better stability and has longer support,<br />
* stable release (sometimes called the current release) offers the best hardware support and the newest features. It's the default choice for a gaming machine and should be avoided only if it causes some issues.<br />
<br />
Both releases offer the same security updates.<br />
<br />
=== Kernel Replacement ===<br />
<br />
{{ii}} '''This section is meant for advanced users, you can easily break your OS, if you don't know what you are doing!'''<br />
<br />
While both stable and LTS Linux kernel releases can be used for gaming, there are also community-made ones which add features and improvements, thus '''may''' improve your gaming experience even further. '''Be warned that you may have to install the DKMS version of the drivers along with the kernel headers to make your hardware useable with multiple kernels''', this is not required if the kernel already includes it.<br />
<br />
The most notable releases:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/ Linux CK]<br />
* [https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel Linux Zen]<br />
* [https://liquorix.net/ Liquorix]<br />
<br />
{{ii}} For help with installing different kernels on distro of your choice, you should go to kernel version official website or your distros forum and wiki.<br />
{{ii}} Be sure to keep the current kernel you have in case if things go wrong.<br />
{{ii}} [http://www.teejeetech.in/p/ukuu-kernel-upgrade-utility.html UKUU] is an useful utility for swaping kernels, although newer versions have nonfree license.<br />
<br />
===Microcode===<br />
{{mm}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
It is very important to install the microcode for your CPU as the manufacturer provides security and stability updates.<br />
<br />
Most distributions use either package manager or some kind of firmware/drivers manager to update your microcode.<br />
<br />
==Hardware==<br />

<br />
<sup>2</sup> <small>- Do not use it on Intel HD 4000 series and newer GPU.</small><br /><br />
<br />
AMD/ATI GPU must use the open source driver as they provide the best performance than the proprietary ones, while NVIDIA users should stick to the proprietary ones. However there are some things to remember:<br />
* '''Never install drivers from the respective GPU brand's website unless you are forced to!''' since some installers would generally require you to install through text mode only like in case with NVIDIA, with AMD however they have prepared packages that can be ran for distros they support. Otherwise rely on the package manager one instead to ease up the installation.<br />
* If forced to use Catalyst, Nvidia 173 or Nvidia 96 drivers, you must downgrade XOrg to the version it got the last support.<br />
* Before using the open source driver '''you must install LLVM and Linux Firmware'''.<br />
* As always when using the 64 bit system, install the 32 bit version of the drivers if possible.<br />

====Optimus Support====<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/6ftq10/the_ultimate_guide_to_setting_up_nvidia_optimus/ NVIDIA Optimus Linux Guide]<br />
{{--}} To this day the Optimus support in NVIDIA GPUs is still considered to be troublesome. It is recommended to use fixed release distributions for this case.<br />
In case of laptops which contains NVIDIA Optimus support it is recommended to have PRIME enabled, which can be done by installing additional package, follow the distro’s documentation to learn which one. The alternative to it can be NVIDIA XRun package and Bumblebee's optirun/primusrun (Not recommended as it is no longer in development), but then the manual intervention is required (With the exception of the former). The linked guide will explain in detail the differences between them, as well as how to use them.<br><br />
<br />
AMD users have a much easier time with that feature as it only requires running the game with the <code>DRI_PRIME=1</code> command.<br />
<br />
===Audio===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound_system ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
Audio is mostly handled by ALSA, with or without PulseAudio. You may set up to use ALSA only, however it is mostly recommended to use with the latter, as it acts as a main central configuration point for audio itself and some games are set to use PA by default. When using a sound card you must install ALSA Firmware package from your repository, while in case of using Bluetooth headphones in PulseAudio, install it's PulseAudio Bluetooth library.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
When it comes to API in Linux games, there are multiple of em such as OpenAL (Otherwise known as OpenAL Soft), SDL_mixer, SteamAudio, FMOD and more. But the most popular ones are the first two APIs.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You may also encounter the OSS, also known as Open Sound System, released in 1995, it was used as a default sound manager which was added into the kernel, until it was replaced by ALSA in 2.5 version release of Linux kernel. Linux games released till 2001 were using it to play any sound. Even to this day, the OSS is still being updated but it is not much used anymore. If you ever encounter a software where it supports only this audio interface and complaing about the lack of <code>/dev/dsp</code>, you have to either install the OSS itself and set the audio up (the hard way) or rely on emulation. In general, installing the OSSP package and enabling/starting it's daemon process (osspd) is enough to do it as it supports both PulseAudio and ALSA, but it is not updated frequently.<br /><br />
<br />
Another way is to use the OSS emulator for the specific audio interface:<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
* PulseAudio can use the <code>padsp</code> command which can be found with the PulseAudio utility package or in some distros, already included with the main software.<br />
* ALSA users should install the alsa-oss package and then use the <code>aoss</code>, if using a 64 bit system you need to use the <code>-32</code> argument if you run a 32-bit application.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Do not run <code>aoss</code> if you are using PulseAudio, all you will get is a static noise mixed with the white ones at high volume!'''<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
In case of MIDI, installing Timidity is required along with either soundfonts or FreePats package. Depending on the distro, it will either set it up automatically or require manual intervention. Keep in mind that if you are using PulseAudio, all the sounds, beside the MIDI music, will be muted unless you include the -iA -Os argument for the timidity command as either an autostart or as a user-made service.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You can also use Fluidsynth, however bear in mind that it uses more CPU and needs to be set up to work alongside with PulseAudio, but compared to Timidity, it is more up to date.<br />
<br />
===Input Devices===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput Libinput ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Touchpad ArchLinux Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg Keyboard Configuration in Xorg ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchscreen Touchscreen ArchLinux article]<br />
<br />
The keyboard and mouse are supported on the go, however if using XOrg you must have it's input-libinput (input-evdev being the alternative) package installed as well in order to work, however by default it will support only 3 buttons for the mouse, in order to use all of them, you have to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_buttons configure it manually]. When using a laptop you may also need to install XOrg's Synaptic package to have access to all features of your touchpad, against the touchscreen it will either work out of the box (besides some calibration) or being very tedious, especially when it is not supported by Linux kernel.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Wayland users only requires the '''libinput''' package itself, which also supports XOrg.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If using a mouse dedicated for gaming, there is a universal configurator called [https://github.com/libratbag/piper/ Piper]. Due to the fact that the software is still new, there is a limited support for some mouse devices, it does support some of the Logitech mouses. However, there are some other ones made specifically for a product from one company:<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/z3ntu/RazerGenie RazerGenie] - Keyboard and Mouse setup for Razer products<br />
* [https://github.com/GabMus/razerCommander RazerCommander] - Ditto<br />
* [https://bues.ch/cms/hacking/razercfg RazerCFG] - A much more simplified configurator for Razer products<br />
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/roccat/ Roccat Configurator] - An official configurator for Roccat products<br />
* [https://github.com/lah7/polychromatic Polychromatic] - Yet another configurator for Razer products<br />
<br />
===Controller Support===<br />
All the controllers such as DualShock 4,DirectInput gamepads and XInput ones (Such as Xbox 360) are supported, however in case of issues regarding XInput ones, you may wish to install xboxdrv. For calibration purpose, you can install the graphical interface of JSTest package to do it.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
The most interesting thing is the Steam Controller, as despite requiring Steam to make it work, it’s entirely possible to use it outside of it with the use of third-party scripts which lets you emulate it as an actual gamepad or a mouse. Even so, far to use it on Wine, if it’s set properly.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible to use SDL2's binary for testing the Joystick or Gamepad to set up a non-supported controller to work with SDL2 applications [http://boilingsteam.com/making-third-party-gamepads-work-with-steam-games].<br /><br />
<br />
If dealing with a game that has a very limited or no controller support at all, the [https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro AntiMicro] has you covered. It allows you to bind keyboard and mouse inputs into the controller, however it works only in Xorg environment. Fedora has the stable build already available in their repository, Debian users should use the [http://packages.libregeek.org/ LibreGeek]'s repository, especially Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distributions which can be added with [https://launchpad.net/%7Emdeguzis/+archive/ubuntu/libregeek this PPA]. Otherwise, you need to compile the program on your own, which luckily includes the instructions and a list of dependencies required for compiling.<br />
<br />
==Other==<br />
<br />
===Disk Partitioning===<br />
By default the most common format used in Linux is '''EXT4''' which manages the files much more efficiently than Windows' NTFS, even so far to decrease loading time in games at the cost of being case sensitive, where for example <code>File1</code> is treated differently than <code>file1</code>. While NTFS is supported, it is generally not recommended to use it for running installed games from it as it may cause compatibility issues depending on the software.<br />
<br />
The most important aspect is the swap partition with it's own disk format, they generally act as a RAM replacement, the absence of it will cause any software to shut down due to low memory and it's commonly used when putting the PC under Hibernation or Sleep mode. The size of the swap disk depends on how much RAM you have.<br />
<br />
If less than 8 GB of RAM, you must increase the swap disk.<br />
If more than 8 GB of RAM, decrease the swap disk size.<br />
<br />
It is generally recommended to partition your disk in this particular order:<br />
/ (Root)<br />
Home<br />
Swap disk<br />
<br />
The partition order also affects the performance of your HDD/SSD as the 1st partition has a higher priority than the other ones, you can create multiple partitions for each directory with a specific disk size to use or use the entire free space on Root and leave some for swap.<br />
<br />
===Wayland or XOrg?===<br />
While hanging around the Linux community you have most likely heard about the Wayland, which is meant to replace the decades old XOrg display server raising the question if you should consider switching to it or stay.<br />
<br />
The main advantage of Wayland are:<br />
* Passive compositioning when fetching pixel data from the client, which removes any kind of latency.<br />
* Isolating I/O of every window and provide smaller access to root for running the code, improving the security.<br />
* Acts as both display server and as a compositor. Whereas XOrg only acts as a former but a 3rd party compositor is required.<br />
* Backwards compatibility with softwares that rely on XOrg through XWayland.<br />
<br />
This all however depends on the driver which your GPU uses as there are two buffer APIs which Wayland makes use of, as well as it's implementation for the desktop environment.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! GPU!! Driver !! Buffer API<br />
|-<br />
| AMD ||rowspan="3"| Open Source ||rowspan="3" | GBM<br />
|-<br />
| Intel<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="2"| NVIDIA<br />
|-<br />
| Proprietary (From 364.12+)|| EGLStreams<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Both GNOME 3 and KDE Plasma supports Wayland for all APIs (With Plasma's case, EGLStreams support began with 5.16). NVIDIA proprietary driver however are way behind in terms of supporting it as it lacks most of the key extensions such as Vulkan support under it along with low performance on XWayland, forcing you to use XOrg instead.<br />
<br />
AMD and Intel users however, contains all the required extensions for a full experience.<br />
<br />
Certain APIs used for software would require a specific package or an environment variable to run in Wayland mode<br />
* GTK3 - Supported and enabled by default since 3.20, if not, use the <code>GDK_BACKEND=wayland</code> command at the beginning.<br />
* Qt5 - Requires the Qt5 Wayland package. After that you can run the Qt 5 application with the <code>-platform wayland</code> command prompt.<br />
* SDL2 - Added in 2.0.2 enabled by default since 2.0.4. If not, use <code>SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland</code> command before running the application. You can enforce newer SDL2 on games and use the command, althou there may be a risk of graphical glitches to appear.<br />
* GLFW - Install the Wayland version package of GLFW instead of X11, support added in 3.2.<br />
* EFL - Enabled by default.<br />
* Clutter - Included with clutter package<br />
* FreeGLUT - Has initial support.<br />
<br />
===Benchmarking===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Benchmarking ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://manerosss.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/howto-gallium-hud/ Gallium HUD Guide]<br />
It is entirely possible to benchmark native Linux games in this system by using the [http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com Phoronix Test Suite]. While it is not in GUI form, it's actually very easy to use. You will need to download any game you wish to benchmark through this program and later on run it. The biggest advantage is that once it's completed, it will save the information as a webpage which the program automatically generates, creating a separate result is not required, as the program can also include it to the existing ones, making a comparison between the hardware you have used or settings much easier.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If decided to benchmark on your own, whenether the game has a built-in benchmark or not, using '''Gallium HUD''' is recommended. Due to the option of displaying the FPS, CPU or even the GPU load graph while running the software and can be customized to your need and it is available when the MESA package (version 13 or newer) has been installed. This option is only available for AMD, Intel HD and Nouveau.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Another much simpler and available for every kind of GPU is the '''glxosd''' which requires installing the package with the same name and just like Gallium HUD, you need to type <code>glxosd</code> before launching a game. The settings can be changed in the ''glxosd_config.lua'' file located in <code>/etc/glxosd/</code>. It is recommended to change the refresh rate of displaying the information as by default it will show the current info after 3 seconds (In config file it's 3000).<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Steam users can use Valve's [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/voglperf voglpref] which only works for Steam. It will display both informations in the Terminal and at the custom website which can be accessed privately, from there you perform any task you want, although you need to know the SteamID of the game you wish to benchmark.<br />
<br />
===PCI Passthrough===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
{{ii}}[https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/ /r/VFIO reddit page]<br />
Since Linux 3.9 and recent QEmu version, it is possible to passthrough a graphics card, motherboard or even other hardwares into the virtual machine. The main advantage of it is having a native GPU working on Windows 7/8/10 in virtual machine such as the KVM or QEmu, which allows you to play Windows games on it without even using the dual-boot or relying on Wine to do so! However, there are some disadvantages:<br />
<br />
* Your CPU must support hardware virtualization and IOMMU<br />
* Your motherboard must also support IOMMU<br />
* Your GPU must support UEFI<br />
* You need a 2nd hardware for PCI Passthrough<br />
* It takes some time to set up and the whole process may be a little tough for beginners<br />
<br />
The following links and the subreddit can be used to learn about the process. Keep in mind that it is not possible to perform a PCI Passthrough from Windows. This can be done only in Linux itself!<br />
<br />
==[[Wine]]==<br />
{{ii}}[https://www.winehq.org/ Main Page]<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/ /r/wine_gaming]<br />
{{mm}}[https://appdb.winehq.org/ Application Database]<br />
WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer which allows you to run Windows programs in Unix/Linux environment, it’s main advantage is a wide support of Windows versions ranging from 3.11 to Windows 10 and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of their systems (32 bit only if you have a 32 bit version of Wine). Besides that some games may even work better than on native Windows such as games which use OpenGL or Vulkan rendering. However a manual intervention may be required if there are issues and checking the WineHQ’s App Database to see if it’s compatible and how to make it work. There are multiple versions of this program each with their own differences:<br />
<br />
* Normal<br />
* Staging - Provides additional features such as CSMT which may or may not improve the performance of the game and contains community-made patches which improves the compatibility.<br />
* Gallium Nine - Uses Gallium3D State Tracker, which dramatically improves the performance for games using DirectX 9, as it won’t translate Direct3D calls into OpenGL.<br />
* Proton - A fork of Wine created by Valve and CodeWeavers which includes special patches and additional addons such as DXVK, FAudio, ESync etc. mainly dedicated for gaming and is integrated with Steam, but it is possible to use without it.<br />
* [https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/wine-tkg-git tkg] - Considered to be a "Wine to rule them all!" it contains a large set of patches and features from other community project to provide the best performance and compatibility for games and can be easily customized to your preference, however it was mainly made for ArchLinux (and distros based on it), but it is possible to use it in other distributions. A Protonified version uses Proton as a base instead.<br />
<br />
So far only AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards which rely on open source drivers have a support for Gallium 3D Nine which greatly benefits the compatibility and performance with DirectX 9-based games.<br />
<br />
If WINE itself is hard to use there are also front-ends which may improve your experience with it:<br />

<br />
===Notes===<br />
* There are no best distros, it all depends on your need. You may be switching between it until you find a perfect one, commonly called “distro hopping”.<br />
* Always ask the forum or refer to the documentation of the distro in case you have a problem. ArchLinux one can be used regardless the distro you are using.<br />
* In some distros, such as ArchLinux, you may want to check the main page before updating, sometimes a manual intervention is required, but will always provide instructions what to do. Not required for fixed release type distros.<br />
* You don’t have to keep making an update if a new version is released in a rolling release distro, you can always do it later. It’s actually recommended to do it after some time to avoid any stability issue.<br />
* Always use virtual machines such as VirtualBox to learn about the distro you want to use. Some distros have a LiveCD or LiveUSB which allows you to check the distro out before installing or even use it for the maintenance. Make sure to install any utilities related to VirtualBox at the Linux distro you are emulating such as graphics drivers.<br />
* Some keys on your keyboard are labeled differently in Linux world. Meta4/Super key are actually Windows key, while "^X" in text mode is actually Ctrl+X.<br />
* Almost all of the desktop environments have their own Terminal, you can install a 3rd party ones which generally are more feature rich.<br />
* If you are confused with using the package manager in Terminal for each distro, [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta this] page will help you.<br />
* Having a second workstation is extremely useful in case if the game hangs out or freezes without any option to minimize it back to the desktop. Mostly happens to the Xorg/X11 server display.<br />
* Files and folders can be hidden by adding "." at the beginning of the name.<br />
* If using a 64-bit version of the distro. Always make sure to install the 32-bit package counterpart for the compatibility!<br />
* Configuration files for games and applications are stored in your Home directory which are mostly hidden. Either at the <code>~/.config</code>, <code>~/.local/share</code> or the <code>~/.<application/developer name></code> directory.<br />
* If someone tells you to use this command <code>sudo rm -Rf /</code>, don't do it unless you want to have a bad time.<br />

'''Disable Mouse Acceleration in XOrg'''<br />
{{ii}} Some desktop environments offer an option to set up the mouse acceleration directly from the settings menu (Such as KDE Plasma)<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Create a new Xorg rule|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=<br />
Create a config file in '''/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/''' as '''<code>any number</code>-<code>custom name</code>.conf''' (for example '''50-mouse-acceleration.conf''', keep in mind that it does not accept spaces in names) as super user/root and add the following script:<br />

<br />
Install '''watchdog''' package and enable/run the watchdog service.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Resolution Scaling with XRandr'''<br /><br />
<br />
It is entirely possible to scale the resolution through multiplications (<code>--scale</code>) or by resolution (<code>--scale-from</code>) with <code>xrandr</code> command. Provided that you input the monitor name and your current resolution, which can be learned by using <code>xrandr -q</code> command (It will also list available resolutions).<br /><br />
<br />
Here are some examples:<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --scale 0.5x0.5</code> - this will downscale the resolution by 0.5 while using 1024x768 resolution in VGA1 monitor.<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA3 --mode 1920x1080 --scale-from 1440x900</code> - This command will imitate the 1440x900 resolution under 1080p in your VGA3 monitor.<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable 32-bit library support in Ubuntu/Debian based distros||fix=<br />
As Ubuntu/Debian 64 bit distros have 32 bit libraries disabled by default, this can cause compatibility issues with the software (Especially with upgrading Wine). To enable it you must use these following commands:<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
sudo apt update<br />
</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=List the missing dependencies|fix=<br />
As GOG, Steam and other stores mostly support Ubuntu due to it's popularity in both making another distribution (Such as Linux Mint) or wide use, there can be a limited support for the other distros such as ArchLinux, Fedora etc. Mostly in terms of requiring dependencies to run the game or a software.<br />
<br />
The <code>ldd</code> command can be used to check which dependency does it require and if they are in your system.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary file><br />
</pre><br />
After running the command, it'll list all the *.so files the software uses, if there is a "Not found" somewhere, this is the moment to learn which package does it contain the file.<br />
<br />
The missing dependency checkup can be even easier with the inclusion of the <code>grep</code> command.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary_file> | grep "Not found"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This will only look for the lines related to "Not found" only, if nothing shows up then you have everything you need.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Improve compiling speed in AUR (Manjaro, Antergos, ArchLinux)|fix=<br />
Open makepkg.conf as root and under '''MAKEFLAGS''' add <code>-j#</code>. Where <code>#</code> is the sum of (number of CPU cores you wish to use) + 1</code> (so if you wish to use 4 cores, ya need to put -j5 for example)<br />

<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Make a native executable for your game|fix=<br />
{{ii}} This method may improve the compatibility and sometimes even improve the performance of it on your Linux system. Can be useful in older Linux games that rely on older SDL interface such as [[Majesty]].<br />
1. Create an empty text file and open it with any text editor.<br /><br />
<br />
2. Add this following script:<br />
<pre><br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library /path/to/executable<br />
</pre><br />
Replace <code>/path/to/library</code> with one of these paths:<br />
* If the game is 64-bit <code>/usr/lib64</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit and you are using a 64-bit system <code>/usr/lib32</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit <code>/usr/lib</code><br />
3. Once done, save it and make it executable using either <code>chmod</code> command or via Properties with your file manager.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
* You are required to learn which library does the game uses and install them if not available. Each game has it's own library folder which you may learn about it.<br />

==Common Fixes==<br />
===Hardware===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=The NVIDIA DKMS driver won't install after updating it|fix=<br />
{{ii}} If none of them won't work, you may have to downgrade your kernel and wait for the update that fixes it. Provided that you or someone else reported this issue.<br />
'''Text Mode'''<br />
# Boot up to your kernel<br />
# Enter the text mode by pressing {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|F2}}-{{key|F10}} and if necessary, stop the display manager.<br />
# Type in as root, <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. If everything is done successfully type <code>reboot</code>.<br />
<br />
'''LiveCD/LiveUSB'''<br />
# Boot to the LiveCD/LiveUSB<br />
# Mount your partition(s) using <code>mount /dev/sd<disk and partition</code> and Chroot it with <code>chroot <root partition></code> (In ArchLinux system it's <code>arch-chroot</code> instead).<br />
# Type in <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. Once it's done without any errors, you can restart the system.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set up a primary monitor in multi-monitor setup|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Install <code>xrandr</code> using your linux distribution's package manager.<br />
# Run <code>xrandr</code> from a terminal emulator and find the name of the monitor you want to set as the primary (i.e. "HDMI-0").<br />
# Run <code>xrandr --output <name> --primary</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{++}} To automate this when the system starts, prepend the command to your <code>~/.xinitrc</code>-file, or your desktop environment's equivalent.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=No sound|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
Open the Terminal and type as root <code>gpasswd -a <username> audio</code>, if that did not work then:<br />
# Open the <code>group</code> file as root in a text editor located in '''/etc''' folder.<br />
# Find the following line <pre>audio:x:29:pulse</pre><br />
# Add a comma and your username ex: <pre>audio:x:29:pulse,tux</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Crackling sound/audio delay in PulseAudio||fix=<br />
Type in terminal this command to stop and then start PulseAudio at the same time:<br />
<pre><br />
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start<br />
</pre><br />
{{ii}}You can bind this command as a keyboard command in your DE.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Screen Tearing|fix=<br />
{{ii}} You may also use GNOME, Cinnamon and KDE Plasma which use their own compositor that directly communicates with the GPU without any performance loss from NVIDIA side.<br />
NVIDIA users can fix the screen tearing by enabling '''Force Composition Pipeline''' in NVIDIA Settings, if it persists, enable '''Force Full Composition''' (Keep in mind that it reduces the performance in games even more).<br><br />
<br />
AMD and Intel HD users do not have to do anything as DRI3 handles the refresh rate by default without compromising the performance, provided the compositor contains the Present extension. <br><br />
<br />
If it persists, chances are you may be required to install and use a 3rd party compositor such as Compiz, Compton etc.<br />

==Distributions==<br />
There are two types of release models which distros are using, both have their pros and cons.<br />
<br />
===Fixed Release===<br />
{{++}}Offers stable packages<br />
{{++}}Most distros which use it are beginner friendly<br />
{{++}}Very little maintenance<br />
{{--}}Package versions are usually tied to the distro version, so to get the recent packages, you need to update your OS<br />
{{--}}Stable packages don't contain the newest features. This is especially important in case of GPU drivers<br />
{{--}}Manual intervention is required in order to add user-made repositories in some distros.<br />
{{ii}} Updating the distro to the next version doesn't require a fresh install and is easy to carry out but might take up to few hours (but usually below an hour)<br />

|-<br />
||'''[https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop Ubuntu ]''' || Debian || GNOME || 6 months, 2 years for LTS || Steam, GoG, many commercial developers ||style="text-align: left;"| The most popular distribution. Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) is officially supported by Steam. If you don't know what to choose, pick this one. Ubuntu non-LTS is updated more often and contains newer packages and functions and is also a great option.<br />
|-<br />

Choose if you prefer distinct workflow or art style. Newcomerfs from Windows should definetly pick Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Xubuntu or Kubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://linuxmint.com/ Linux Mint]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE || Up to 2 years || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| The most popular beginner-friendly Linux distribution. LMDE 2 Edition is based on Debian. Be aware that the packages may be much older compared to Ubuntu LTS releases, but the main advantage is the built-in kernel upgrader.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://neon.kde.org KDE Neon]''' || Debian, Ubuntu || KDE Plasma || Up to a year || same as Ubuntu<ref name=support group="fr note" /> || style="text-align: left;"| A distro created by the KDE community, compared to the Kubuntu (A KDE Plasma flavoured Ubuntu) it provides the latest version of KDE Plasma, while at the same time being able to use packages from Ubuntu.<br />
|-<br />
||'''[https://store.steampowered.com/steamos/ SteamOS]''' || Debian (Stable) || GNOME || Varies || Steam || style="text-align: left;"| Linux distribution made by Valve Corporation specifically for Steam Machine or for gaming from couch. It currently provides the latest stable Linux kernel along with newer drivers for GPU. Offers an option to act as a desktop system, it may be behind in terms of packages.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<references group="fr note" /><br />
<br />
===Rolling Release===<br />
{{++}}Provides the latest version of the package once it’s available<br />
{{++}}No distro upgrade is required, as most distros have only one version.<br />
{{--}}An update for the package may cause stability issues, so it is recommended organize an update by yourself in case a revision gets a release, which fixes stability issues.<br />
{{--}}In some cases, manual intervention is required.<br />
{{--}}No rolling release ditribution has any official support from any store<br />
{{ii}}Some distros offer a semi-rolling release, meaning that the package will be tested before the release, it mostly takes less than a month, often a week depending on distro.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Desktop Environments==<br />
The Linux community has created multiple variations of the desktop environment for you to choose from as by default the system uses the text mode by default, with their own basic software for common use such as file explorer, notepad, virtual terminal etc. along with their own purpose and features.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="nowrap;"<br />
|-<br />
! Name !! Min. RAM !! Customizable !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.gnome.org/ GNOME] || 2 GB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
One of the most oldest (and 2nd) desktop environments which to this day is constantly updated. The 3rd generation of GNOME has a much more tablet-like appearance compared to previous ones with a very large set of softwares combined with community-made ones as well as extensions, thankfully the GNOME Classic is included for those who do not like it's theme and it's compositor integrates really well with NVIDIA graphics card, which does not cause any tearing at all. However, it's very limited in customization, forcing you to install GNOME Tweak to change things such as the color theme, icons etc. <br><br />
<br />
For Wayland use, GNOME supports both GBM and EGLStreams APIs which makes it the only DE to support Wayland for every graphics cards that support it.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://www.kde.org/plasma-desktop KDE Plasma] || 1 GB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
The very 1st desktop environemnt which to this day is still being updated and maintained. Compared to GNOME, it uses less memory while having many of it's features and software included which makes it very attractive to Windows/Mac users while being very customizeable and packed full of options for you to set up and a dedicated option to disable composition when running a software in full screen, providing a better performance in games. NVIDIA users with proprietary driver must use at least 5.12.9 LTS or 5.15.9 which stabilizes the desktop for that matter.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://budgie-desktop.org/home/ Budgie] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by a original Solus developer and currently maintained by Solus Team. It currently serves as an alternative for GNOME 3 with a much more desktop-like interface and bear some similarities to Windows 10.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://developer.linuxmint.com/ Cinnamon] || 256 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Created by Linux Mint Team, Cinnamon brings back the GNOME 2 appearance with a modern twist, while using some of the features present in GNOME 3, including it's compositor's integration with NVIDIA GPU. Allows you to run in Hardware (Default) and Software mode (No Composition).<br />
|-<br />
| [https://xfce.org/ XFCE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as a clone of a Unix-like desktop environment named CDE, it became it's own DE with a much more Windows XP-like appearance and with it's light use of memory is well suited for low end hardware or even for Windows veterans.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://mate-desktop.org MATE] || 128 MB || Yes || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
MATE was born as a spiritual successor to GNOME 2 after a controversial change in GNOME 3. The DE is well suited for common Windows users while providing it's own features such as audio preview by a mouse hover.<br />
|-<br />
| [http://lxqt.org/ LXQT] || 64 MB || Yes, limited || style="text-align: left;"| <br />
Starting off as LXDE and later one in combination with Razor-Qt it became LXQt. The most lightweight desktop environment ever created, despite it's limited features and customization along with the lack of compositor it is perfectly suited for the lowest end hardware.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Kernel==<br />
{{mm}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel Wikipedia page]<br />
{{ii}} It is important to update your Linux kernel as new versions provide security updates, bugfixes, better performance and support for hardware. Your distributions repository contains the latest version for your OS.<br />
There are two main releases of the official Linux kernel:<br />
* the Long Term Support (LTS) is slightly behind in terms of hardware support and features, but offers better stability and has longer support,<br />
* stable release (sometimes called the current release) offers the best hardware support and the newest features. It's the default choice for a gaming machine and should be avoided only if it causes some issues.<br />
<br />
Both releases offer the same security updates.<br />
<br />
=== Kernel Replacement ===<br />
<br />
{{ii}} '''This section is meant for advanced users, you can easily break your OS, if you don't know what you are doing!'''<br />
<br />
While both stable and LTS Linux kernel releases can be used for gaming, there are also community-made ones which add features and improvements, thus '''may''' improve your gaming experience even further. '''Be warned that you may have to install the DKMS version of the drivers along with the kernel headers to make your hardware useable with multiple kernels''', this is not required if the kernel already includes it.<br />
<br />
The most notable releases:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/ Linux CK]<br />
* [https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel Linux Zen]<br />
* [https://liquorix.net/ Liquorix]<br />
<br />
{{ii}} For help with installing different kernels on distro of your choice, you should go to kernel version official website or your distros forum and wiki.<br />
{{ii}} Be sure to keep the current kernel you have in case if things go wrong.<br />
{{ii}} [http://www.teejeetech.in/p/ukuu-kernel-upgrade-utility.html UKUU] is an useful utility for swaping kernels, although newer versions have nonfree license.<br />
<br />
===Microcode===<br />
{{mm}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
It is very important to install the microcode for your CPU as the manufacturer provides security and stability updates.<br />
<br />
Most distributions use either package manager or some kind of firmware/drivers manager to update your microcode.<br />
<br />

Here is a following table describing the drivers and informations which Linux supports for each GPU brand.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
<sup>2</sup> <small>- Do not use it on Intel HD 4000 series and newer GPU.</small><br /><br />
<br />
AMD/ATI GPU must use the open source driver as they provide the best performance than the proprietary ones, while NVIDIA users should stick to the proprietary ones. However there are some things to remember:<br />
* '''Never install drivers from the respective GPU brand's website unless you are forced to!''' since some installers would generally require you to install through text mode only like in case with NVIDIA, with AMD however they have prepared packages that can be ran for distros they support. Otherwise rely on the package manager one instead to ease up the installation.<br />
* If forced to use Catalyst, Nvidia 173 or Nvidia 96 drivers, you must downgrade XOrg to the version it got the last support.<br />
* Before using the open source driver '''you must install LLVM and Linux Firmware'''.<br />
* As always when using the 64 bit system, install the 32 bit version of the drivers if possible.<br />
<br />
====List of 3rd-party repositories====<br />
'''Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Zorin OS/Pop! OS/Linux Lite/KDE Neon'''<br /><br />
<br />
Use <code>sudo add-apt-repository <PPA repository></code> to add one. Make sure to run <code>sudo apt update</code> in order to update the repository list after adding one.<br />

'''OpenSUSE'''<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
As of 10 August 2017, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has an official NVIDIA RPM [https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/6slnlv/tumbleweed_gets_an_official_rpm_from_nvidia/], you can manually add the repository with this command<br />

<br />
====Optimus Support====<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/6ftq10/the_ultimate_guide_to_setting_up_nvidia_optimus/ NVIDIA Optimus Linux Guide]<br />
{{--}} To this day the Optimus support in NVIDIA GPUs is still considered to be troublesome. It is recommended to use fixed release distributions for this case.<br />
In case of laptops which contains NVIDIA Optimus support it is recommended to have PRIME enabled, which can be done by installing additional package, follow the distro’s documentation to learn which one. The alternative to it can be NVIDIA XRun package and Bumblebee's optirun/primusrun (Not recommended as it is no longer in development), but then the manual intervention is required (With the exception of the former). The linked guide will explain in detail the differences between them, as well as how to use them.<br><br />
<br />
AMD users have a much easier time with that feature as it only requires running the game with the <code>DRI_PRIME=1</code> command.<br />
<br />
===Audio===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound_system ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
Audio is mostly handled by ALSA, with or without PulseAudio. You may set up to use ALSA only, however it is mostly recommended to use with the latter, as it acts as a main central configuration point for audio itself and some games are set to use PA by default. When using a sound card you must install ALSA Firmware package from your repository, while in case of using Bluetooth headphones in PulseAudio, install it's PulseAudio Bluetooth library.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
When it comes to API in Linux games, there are multiple of em such as OpenAL (Otherwise known as OpenAL Soft), SDL_mixer, SteamAudio, FMOD and more. But the most popular ones are the first two APIs.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You may also encounter the OSS, also known as Open Sound System, released in 1995, it was used as a default sound manager which was added into the kernel, until it was replaced by ALSA in 2.5 version release of Linux kernel. Linux games released till 2001 were using it to play any sound. Even to this day, the OSS is still being updated but it is not much used anymore. If you ever encounter a software where it supports only this audio interface and complaing about the lack of <code>/dev/dsp</code>, you have to either install the OSS itself and set the audio up (the hard way) or rely on emulation. In general, installing the OSSP package and enabling/starting it's daemon process (osspd) is enough to do it as it supports both PulseAudio and ALSA, but it is not updated frequently.<br /><br />
<br />
Another way is to use the OSS emulator for the specific audio interface:<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
* PulseAudio can use the <code>padsp</code> command which can be found with the PulseAudio utility package or in some distros, already included with the main software.<br />
* ALSA users should install the alsa-oss package and then use the <code>aoss</code>, if using a 64 bit system you need to use the <code>-32</code> argument if you run a 32-bit application.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Do not run <code>aoss</code> if you are using PulseAudio, all you will get is a static noise mixed with the white ones at high volume!'''<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
In case of MIDI, installing Timidity is required along with either soundfonts or FreePats package. Depending on the distro, it will either set it up automatically or require manual intervention. Keep in mind that if you are using PulseAudio, all the sounds, beside the MIDI music, will be muted unless you include the -iA -Os argument for the timidity command as either an autostart or as a user-made service.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
You can also use Fluidsynth, however bear in mind that it uses more CPU and needs to be set up to work alongside with PulseAudio, but compared to Timidity, it is more up to date.<br />
<br />
===Input Devices===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput Libinput ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Touchpad ArchLinux Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg Keyboard Configuration in Xorg ArchLinux article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchscreen Touchscreen ArchLinux article]<br />
<br />
The keyboard and mouse are supported on the go, however if using XOrg you must have it's input-libinput (input-evdev being the alternative) package installed as well in order to work, however by default it will support only 3 buttons for the mouse, in order to use all of them, you have to [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_buttons configure it manually]. When using a laptop you may also need to install XOrg's Synaptic package to have access to all features of your touchpad, against the touchscreen it will either work out of the box (besides some calibration) or being very tedious, especially when it is not supported by Linux kernel.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Wayland users only requires the '''libinput''' package itself, which also supports XOrg.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If using a mouse dedicated for gaming, there is a universal configurator called [https://github.com/libratbag/piper/ Piper]. Due to the fact that the software is still new, there is a limited support for some mouse devices, it does support some of the Logitech mouses. However, there are some other ones made specifically for a product from one company:<br />
<br />
* [https://github.com/z3ntu/RazerGenie RazerGenie] - Keyboard and Mouse setup for Razer products<br />
* [https://github.com/GabMus/razerCommander RazerCommander] - Ditto<br />
* [https://bues.ch/cms/hacking/razercfg RazerCFG] - A much more simplified configurator for Razer products<br />
* [https://sourceforge.net/projects/roccat/ Roccat Configurator] - An official configurator for Roccat products<br />
* [https://github.com/lah7/polychromatic Polychromatic] - Yet another configurator for Razer products<br />
<br />
===Controller Support===<br />
All the controllers such as DualShock 4,DirectInput gamepads and XInput ones (Such as Xbox 360) are supported, however in case of issues regarding XInput ones, you may wish to install xboxdrv. For calibration purpose, you can install the graphical interface of JSTest package to do it.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
The most interesting thing is the Steam Controller, as despite requiring Steam to make it work, it’s entirely possible to use it outside of it with the use of third-party scripts which lets you emulate it as an actual gamepad or a mouse. Even so, far to use it on Wine, if it’s set properly.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible to use SDL2's binary for testing the Joystick or Gamepad to set up a non-supported controller to work with SDL2 applications [http://boilingsteam.com/making-third-party-gamepads-work-with-steam-games].<br /><br />
<br />
If dealing with a game that has a very limited or no controller support at all, the [https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro AntiMicro] has you covered. It allows you to bind keyboard and mouse inputs into the controller, however it works only in Xorg environment. Fedora has the stable build already available in their repository, Debian users should use the [http://packages.libregeek.org/ LibreGeek]'s repository, especially Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distributions which can be added with [https://launchpad.net/%7Emdeguzis/+archive/ubuntu/libregeek this PPA]. Otherwise, you need to compile the program on your own, which luckily includes the instructions and a list of dependencies required for compiling.<br />
<br />
==Other==<br />
<br />
===Disk Partitioning===<br />
By default the most common format used in Linux is '''EXT4''' which manages the files much more efficiently than Windows' NTFS, even so far to decrease loading time in games at the cost of being case sensitive, where for example <code>File1</code> is treated differently than <code>file1</code>. While NTFS is supported, it is generally not recommended to use it for running installed games from it as it may cause compatibility issues depending on the software.<br />
<br />
The most important aspect is the swap partition with it's own disk format, they generally act as a RAM replacement, the absence of it will cause any software to shut down due to low memory and it's commonly used when putting the PC under Hibernation or Sleep mode. The size of the swap disk depends on how much RAM you have.<br />
<br />
If less than 8 GB of RAM, you must increase the swap disk.<br />
If more than 8 GB of RAM, decrease the swap disk size.<br />
<br />
It is generally recommended to partition your disk in this particular order:<br />
/ (Root)<br />
Home<br />
Swap disk<br />
<br />
The partition order also affects the performance of your HDD/SSD as the 1st partition has a higher priority than the other ones, you can create multiple partitions for each directory with a specific disk size to use or use the entire free space on Root and leave some for swap.<br />
<br />
===Wayland or XOrg?===<br />
While hanging around the Linux community you have most likely heard about the Wayland, which is meant to replace the decades old XOrg display server raising the question if you should consider switching to it or stay.<br />
<br />
The main advantage of Wayland are:<br />
* Passive compositioning when fetching pixel data from the client, which removes any kind of latency.<br />
* Isolating I/O of every window and provide smaller access to root for running the code, improving the security.<br />
* Acts as both display server and as a compositor. Whereas XOrg only acts as a former but a 3rd party compositor is required.<br />
* Backwards compatibility with softwares that rely on XOrg through XWayland.<br />
<br />
This all however depends on the driver which your GPU uses as there are two buffer APIs which Wayland makes use of, as well as it's implementation for the desktop environment.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! GPU!! Driver !! Buffer API<br />
|-<br />
| AMD ||rowspan="3"| Open Source ||rowspan="3" | GBM<br />
|-<br />
| Intel<br />
|-<br />
| rowspan="2"| NVIDIA<br />
|-<br />
| Proprietary (From 364.12+)|| EGLStreams<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Both GNOME 3 and KDE Plasma supports Wayland for all APIs (With Plasma's case, EGLStreams support began with 5.16). NVIDIA proprietary driver users however are way behind in terms of supporting it as it lacks most of the key extensions such as Vulkan support under it along with low performance on XWayland, forcing you to use XOrg instead.<br />
<br />
AMD and Intel users however, contains all the required extensions for a full experience.<br />
<br />
Certain APIs used for software would require a specific package or an environment variable to run in Wayland mode<br />
* GTK3 - Supported and enabled by default since 3.20, if not, use the <code>GDK_BACKEND=wayland</code> command at the beginning.<br />
* Qt5 - Requires the Qt5 Wayland package. After that you can run the Qt 5 application with the <code>-platform wayland</code> command prompt.<br />
* SDL2 - Added in 2.0.2 enabled by default since 2.0.4. If not, use <code>SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland</code> command before running the application. You can enforce newer SDL2 on games and use the command, althou there may be a risk of graphical glitches to appear.<br />
* GLFW - Install the Wayland version package of GLFW instead of X11, support added in 3.2.<br />
* EFL - Enabled by default.<br />
* Clutter - Included with clutter package<br />
* FreeGLUT - Has initial support.<br />
<br />
===Benchmarking===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Benchmarking ArchLinux Wiki Article]<br />
{{ii}}[https://manerosss.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/howto-gallium-hud/ Gallium HUD Guide]<br />
It is entirely possible to benchmark native Linux games in this system by using the [http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com Phoronix Test Suite]. While it is not in GUI form, it's actually very easy to use. You will need to download any game you wish to benchmark through this program and later on run it. The biggest advantage is that once it's completed, it will save the information as a webpage which the program automatically generates, creating a separate result is not required, as the program can also include it to the existing ones, making a comparison between the hardware you have used or settings much easier.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
If decided to benchmark on your own, whenether the game has a built-in benchmark or not, using '''Gallium HUD''' is recommended. Due to the option of displaying the FPS, CPU or even the GPU load graph while running the software and can be customized to your need and it is available when the MESA package (version 13 or newer) has been installed. This option is only available for AMD, Intel HD and Nouveau.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Another much simpler and available for every kind of GPU is the '''glxosd''' which requires installing the package with the same name and just like Gallium HUD, you need to type <code>glxosd</code> before launching a game. The settings can be changed in the ''glxosd_config.lua'' file located in <code>/etc/glxosd/</code>. It is recommended to change the refresh rate of displaying the information as by default it will show the current info after 3 seconds (In config file it's 3000).<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
Steam users can use Valve's [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/voglperf voglpref] which only works for Steam. It will display both informations in the Terminal and at the custom website which can be accessed privately, from there you perform any task you want, although you need to know the SteamID of the game you wish to benchmark.<br />
<br />
===PCI Passthrough===<br />
{{ii}}[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF ArchLinux Wiki Page]<br />
{{ii}}[https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/ /r/VFIO reddit page]<br />
Since Linux 3.9 and recent QEmu version, it is possible to passthrough a graphics card, motherboard or even other hardwares into the virtual machine. The main advantage of it is having a native GPU working on Windows 7/8/10 in virtual machine such as the KVM or QEmu, which allows you to play Windows games on it without even using the dual-boot or relying on Wine to do so! However, there are some disadvantages:<br />
<br />
* Your CPU must support hardware virtualization and IOMMU<br />
* Your motherboard must also support IOMMU<br />
* Your GPU must support UEFI<br />
* You need a 2nd hardware for PCI Passthrough<br />
* It takes some time to set up and the whole process may be a little tough for beginners<br />
<br />
The following links and the subreddit can be used to learn about the process. Keep in mind that it is not possible to perform a PCI Passthrough from Windows. This can be done only in Linux itself!<br />
<br />
==[[Wine]]==<br />
{{ii}}[https://www.winehq.org/ Main Page]<br />
{{ii}} [https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/ /r/wine_gaming]<br />
{{mm}}[https://appdb.winehq.org/ Application Database]<br />
WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer which allows you to run Windows programs in Unix/Linux environment, it’s main advantage is a wide support of Windows versions ranging from 3.11 to Windows 10 and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of their systems (32 bit only if you have a 32 bit version of Wine). Besides that some games may even work better than on native Windows such as games which use OpenGL or Vulkan rendering. However a manual intervention may be required if there are issues and checking the WineHQ’s App Database to see if it’s compatible and how to make it work. There are multiple versions of this program each with their own differences:<br />
<br />
* Normal<br />
* Staging - Provides additional features such as CSMT which may or may not improve the performance of the game and contains community-made patches which improves the compatibility.<br />
* Gallium Nine - Uses Gallium3D State Tracker, which dramatically improves the performance for games using DirectX 9, as it won’t translate Direct3D calls into OpenGL.<br />
* Proton - A fork of Wine created by Valve and CodeWeavers which includes special patches and additional addons such as DXVK, FAudio, ESync etc. mainly dedicated for gaming and is integrated with Steam, but it is possible to use without it.<br />
* [https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/wine-tkg-git tkg] - Considered to be a "Wine to rule them all!" it contains a large set of patches and features from other community project to provide the best performance and compatibility for games and can be easily customized to your preference, however it was mainly made for ArchLinux (and distros based on it), but it is possible to use it in other distributions. A Protonified version uses Proton as a base instead.<br />
<br />
So far only AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards which rely on open source drivers have a support for Gallium 3D Nine which greatly benefits the compatibility and performance with DirectX 9-based games.<br />
<br />
If WINE itself is hard to use there are also front-ends which may improve your experience with it:<br />

|}<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
* There are no best distros, it all depends on your need. You may be switching between it until you find a perfect one, commonly called “distro hopping”.<br />
* Always ask the forum or refer to the documentation of the distro in case you have a problem. ArchLinux one can be used regardless the distro you are using.<br />
* In some distros, such as ArchLinux, you may want to check the main page before updating, sometimes a manual intervention is required, but will always provide instructions what to do. Not required for fixed release type distros.<br />
* You don’t have to keep making an update if a new version is released in a rolling release distro, you can always do it later. It’s actually recommended to do it after some time to avoid any stability issue.<br />
* Always use virtual machines such as VirtualBox to learn about the distro you want to use. Some distros have a LiveCD or LiveUSB which allows you to check the distro out before installing or even use it for the maintenance. Make sure to install any utilities related to VirtualBox at the Linux distro you are emulating such as graphics drivers.<br />
* Some keys on your keyboard are labeled differently in Linux world. Meta4/Super key are actually Windows key, while "^X" in text mode is actually Ctrl+X.<br />
* Almost all of the desktop environments have their own Terminal, you can install a 3rd party ones which generally are more feature rich.<br />
* If you are confused with using the package manager in Terminal for each distro, [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta this] page will help you.<br />
* Having a second workstation is extremely useful in case if the game hangs out or freezes without any option to minimize it back to the desktop. Mostly happens to the Xorg/X11 server display.<br />
* Files and folders can be hidden by adding "." at the beginning of the name.<br />
* If using a 64-bit version of the distro. Always make sure to install the 32-bit package counterpart for the compatibility!<br />
* Configuration files for games and applications are stored in your Home directory which are mostly hidden. Either at the <code>~/.config</code>, <code>~/.local/share</code> or the <code>~/.<application/developer name></code> directory.<br />
* If someone tells you to use this command <code>sudo rm -Rf /</code>, don't do it unless you want to have a bad time.<br />
<br />
==Improvements==<br />
===Hardware===<br />
'''Disable Nvidia Logo when running X server'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Edit the XOrg configuration file|fix=<br />
Add <code>Option "NoLogo" "true"</code> under the NVidia Corporation '''VendorName''' in it's Xorg configuration file. Example:<br />
<pre><br />
Section "Device"<br />
Identifier "Nvidia Card"<br />
Driver "nvidia"<br />
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"<br />
Option "NoLogo" "true"<br />
EndSection<br />
</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Disable Mouse Acceleration in XOrg'''<br />
{{ii}} Some desktop environments offer an option to set up the mouse acceleration directly from the settings menu (Such as KDE Plasma)<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Create a new Xorg rule|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=<br />
Create a config file in '''/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/''' as '''<code>any number</code>-<code>custom name</code>.conf''' (for example '''50-mouse-acceleration.conf''', keep in mind that it does not accept spaces in names) as super user/root and add the following script:<br />
<pre><br />
Section "InputClass"<br />
Identifier "My Mouse"<br />
Driver "libinput"<br />
MatchIsPointer "yes"<br />
Option "AccelProfile" "flat"<br />
EndSection<br />
</pre><br />
Then restart the system or Xorg (In most distros it's {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|Backspace ←}})<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Improve Shutdown Time In Systemd'''<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Edit the system.conf|fix=<br />
In some desktop environments such as LXQt, the system shutdown or restart process may take longer due to Systemd having the time to stop the session set to 1 minute 30 seconds by default.<br />
# Edit as a root the system.conf file located in <code>/etc/systemd/</code><br />
# Find '''DefaultTimeoutStartSec''' and '''DefaultTimeoutStopSec''', uncomment them if necessary and set the time limit in seconds.<br />
# Type <code>sudo systemctl daemon-reload</code><br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
Install '''watchdog''' package and enable/run the watchdog service.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Resolution Scaling with XRandr'''<br /><br />
<br />
It is entirely possible to scale the resolution through multiplications (<code>--scale</code>) or by resolution (<code>--scale-from</code>) with <code>xrandr</code> command. Provided that you input the monitor name and your current resolution, which can be learned by using <code>xrandr -q</code> command (It will also list available resolutions).<br /><br />
<br />
Here are some examples:<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --scale 0.5x0.5</code> - this will downscale the resolution by 0.5 while using 1024x768 resolution in VGA1 monitor.<br />
* <code>xrandr --output VGA3 --mode 1920x1080 --scale-from 1440x900</code> - This command will imitate the 1440x900 resolution under 1080p in your VGA3 monitor.<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Enable 32-bit library support in Ubuntu/Debian based distros||fix=<br />
As Ubuntu/Debian 64 bit distros have 32 bit libraries disabled by default, this can cause compatibility issues with the software (Especially with upgrading Wine). To enable it you must use these following commands:<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br />
sudo apt update<br />
</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=List the missing dependencies|fix=<br />
As GOG, Steam and other stores mostly support Ubuntu due to it's popularity in both making another distribution (Such as Linux Mint) or wide use, there can be a limited support for the other distros such as ArchLinux, Fedora etc. Mostly in terms of requiring dependencies to run the game or a software.<br />
<br />
The <code>ldd</code> command can be used to check which dependency does it require and if they are in your system.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary file><br />
</pre><br />
After running the command, it'll list all the *.so files the software uses, if there is a "Not found" somewhere, this is the moment to learn which package does it contain the file.<br />
<br />
The missing dependency checkup can be even easier with the inclusion of the <code>grep</code> command.<br />
<pre><br />
ldd <binary_file> | grep "Not found"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This will only look for the lines related to "Not found" only, if nothing shows up then you have everything you need.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Improve compiling speed in AUR (Manjaro, Antergos, ArchLinux)|fix=<br />
Open makepkg.conf as root and under '''MAKEFLAGS''' add <code>-j#</code>. Where <code>#</code> is the sum of (number of CPU cores you wish to use) + 1</code> (so if you wish to use 4 cores, ya need to put -j5 for example)<br />
{{ii}}Keep in mind that some programs requires using one core for the stability sake.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Make a native executable for your game|fix=<br />
{{ii}} This method may improve the compatibility and sometimes even improve the performance of it on your Linux system. Can be useful in older Linux games that rely on older SDL interface such as [[Majesty]].<br />
1. Create an empty text file and open it with any text editor.<br /><br />
<br />
2. Add this following script:<br />
<pre><br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library /path/to/executable<br />
</pre><br />
Replace <code>/path/to/library</code> with one of these paths:<br />
* If the game is 64-bit <code>/usr/lib64</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit and you are using a 64-bit system <code>/usr/lib32</code><br />
* If the game is 32-bit <code>/usr/lib</code><br />
3. Once done, save it and make it executable using either <code>chmod</code> command or via Properties with your file manager.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
* You are required to learn which library does the game uses and install them if not available. Each game has it's own library folder which you may learn about it.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Common Fixes==<br />
===Hardware===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=The NVIDIA DKMS driver won't install after updating it|fix=<br />
{{ii}} If none of them won't work, you may have to downgrade your kernel and wait for the update that fixes it. Provided that you or someone else reported this issue.<br />
'''Text Mode'''<br />
# Boot up to your kernel<br />
# Enter the text mode by pressing {{key|Ctrl}}+{{key|Alt}}+{{key|F2}}-{{key|F10}} and if necessary, stop the display manager.<br />
# Type in as root, <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. If everything is done successfully type <code>reboot</code>.<br />
<br />
'''LiveCD/LiveUSB'''<br />
# Boot to the LiveCD/LiveUSB<br />
# Mount your partition(s) using <code>mount /dev/sd<disk and partition</code> and Chroot it with <code>chroot <root partition></code> (In ArchLinux system it's <code>arch-chroot</code> instead).<br />
# Type in <code>dkms install nvidia/<version> --all</code>. Once it's done without any errors, you can restart the system.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Set up a primary monitor in multi-monitor setup|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
# Install <code>xrandr</code> using your linux distribution's package manager.<br />
# Run <code>xrandr</code> from a terminal emulator and find the name of the monitor you want to set as the primary (i.e. "HDMI-0").<br />
# Run <code>xrandr --output <name> --primary</code>.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{++}} To automate this when the system starts, prepend the command to your <code>~/.xinitrc</code>-file, or your desktop environment's equivalent.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=No sound|ref={{cn|date=February 2017}}|fix=<br />
Open the Terminal and type as root <code>gpasswd -a <username> audio</code>, if that did not work then:<br />
# Open the <code>group</code> file as root in a text editor located in '''/etc''' folder.<br />
# Find the following line <pre>audio:x:29:pulse</pre><br />
# Add a comma and your username ex: <pre>audio:x:29:pulse,tux</pre><br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Crackling sound/audio delay in PulseAudio||fix=<br />
Type in terminal this command to stop and then start PulseAudio at the same time:<br />
<pre><br />
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start<br />
</pre><br />
{{ii}}You can bind this command as a keyboard command in your DE.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Screen Tearing|fix=<br />
{{ii}} You may also use GNOME, Cinnamon and KDE Plasma which use their own compositor that directly communicates with the GPU without any performance loss from NVIDIA side.<br />
NVIDIA users can fix the screen tearing by enabling '''Force Composition Pipeline''' in NVIDIA Settings, if it persists, enable '''Force Full Composition''' (Keep in mind that it reduces the performance in games even more).<br><br />
<br />
AMD and Intel HD users do not have to do anything as DRI3 handles the refresh rate by default without compromising the performance, provided the compositor contains the Present extension. <br><br />
<br />
If it persists, chances are you may be required to install and use a 3rd party compositor such as Compiz, Compton etc.<br />

'''Key points'''<br />
{{--}} The Windows version does not work on modern systems properly. It is recommended to use the DOS version instead.<br />
{{ii}} Only in Windows version you can change the directory of the installation. DOS version is fixed to <code>C:/CRYO/DREAMS</code><br />
<br />
==Availability==<br />
{{Availability|<br />
{{Availability/row| Retail | | disc || | Windows, DOS}}<br />
}}<br />
{{ii}} If using DOSBox with Glide suppport, you may have to use game's OVL file to run it depending on the wrapper. It can be found by unpacking <code>GRTVGR.exe</code> file, located in game's CD, using PkUnzip. To simplify the process, run <code>pkunzip d:\3dfx\grtvgr.exe glide\drivers\voodoo\dos\glide2x.ovl</code> in Command Prompt or in DOSBox.<br />

==Issues unresolved==<br />
===Player gets stuck in an open space===<br />
Due to the physics in the game, the player may get stuck in a place despite having an open space, this happens when you bounce away from the walls or bump into the destructible props at high speed. There is no way to fix this issue other than to switch between low and high speed movement with the {{key|PgDn}} key and destroy any object that stands in your way.<br />
