Gaming

Hi everyone I am new at the Arch Linux family.I used another Linux distributions such as Ubuntu,Mint,Debian so I am not exactly new in Linux family.already I can say that Arch is the best.Here is my question.I am using Arch for just couple of days now.I installed like 5 times because of the hybrid graphics driver and bumblebee.Finally I am all set and happy because finally I removed Windows.I am not much a gamer like multiplayer games and so on though I love playing games such as Call of Duty 2 and Mount Blade:Warband.I installed wine and winetricks and the windows dlls each game needed but I cannot get performance like Ubuntu.Call of Duty for example it is so slow I wanna blow my brains out.Why is that ? I already love Arch and I don't wanna go back to Ubuntu or Windows(Eew) so any ideas ? this is my first post so i hope i didn't someting wrong

My System:
4 x Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53 GHZ
2.6 GiB of RAM and 2 GiB swap

Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M]

Re: Gaming

Hi thanks for your response.I didn't know linux-zen.I will look at it.I am using performance governor on cpupower.I am not sure what else i can do to increase my performance with cpupower.I'll read gaming and improving performance pages.I only checked it before.

Re: Gaming

There was a recent similar thread with some tips.

Re: Gaming

Yeah I looked at that but I am using wine to play games so that thread doesn't help me.

Re: Gaming

wish someone would have told me that The Talos Principle (native linux) required
lib32-openal to have working sound.  you'll need a lot multilibs too many to mention

Re: Gaming

First there was no sound I installed the multilibs packages and that work now.If am not gonna find any solution this I will install Windows again and dual boot.I can't give up Arch Linux but I can't give up Games too.

Call of Duty for example it is so slow I wanna blow my brains out.Why is that?

Provide some debugging/useful info.

Re: Gaming

I don't what to say even though my settings are low it's still really slow.I could play easily with Ubuntu.I installed all the dlls and fonts which says required in the winehq page.What else should i do My graphic drivers are installed 64bit and 32bit.I am using bumblebee to play games with my nvidia card and I don't really go back to Windows because of games.Please help me guys.I am not looking for extreme performance.I just want to be playable games like i used to did on Ubuntu.

Re: Gaming

Did ubuntu use Bumblebee? Don't they have some kind of their own solution to dual graphics?

While using Ubuntu.I only installed nvidia driver also back then I wasn't really know how to run computer with the dual graphics on Linux.

If you've done that you likely used their PRIME implementation, which would mean you were using the Nvidia GPU to drive your display all the time, which will lose you some power management (the dedicated card is always on, suspend and hibernate are broken) but you should get a noticable performance bump. you can do the same on Arch: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ing_nvidia

Install lib32-mpg123, for starters.

And see "32-bit" at Bumblebee wiki page, for more lib32 packages to install.

Re: Gaming

Thanks brebs I installed lib32-mpg123 and lib32-virtualgl.I already installed the lib32-nvidia-utils. V1del I am gonna try that thanks
BTW can i do it without install Arch Linux all over again.just remove intel driver and bumblebee and do configurations and I am using packard bell laptop and my battery is dead for years so I always pluged in even though do i need power management still.

Thanks again guys.It means a lot to me.

Re: Gaming

I installed wine and winetricks

Have you tried wine-staging?

There is also wine-staging-nine with the gallium-nine patches (whatever they are).

Re: Gaming

No but I am gonna look at it.Whats the difference wine-stable and wine-staging exactly ? I heard there are more bugs in wine-staging.BTW after installed those packages lib32-mpg123 and lib32-virtualgl games are playable.I think lib32-virtualgl do the trick.Graphics and FPS are better but if i used performance governor and then optirun wine game.exe after like 3 or 5 minutes laptop shutdown itself ? It's happened before I was using Windows and I lower the CPU frequency to prevent it.I always thought that it was a Windows issue.

Laptop overheating - ideas: clean the laptop's fan and unblock its airflow, try undervolting the CPU, buy a laptop stand which contains an additional fan.

Re: Gaming

brebs I cleaned the laptop's fan.Its airflow is always unblocked.I tried undervolting by using phc.It's works but if I open a game play 3 or 5 minutes laptop shutdown itself again.I am gonna look for a additional fan this weekend but is it normal doing this even though i play old games.While using Windows I solved this problem by doing this.I configure the power management to using CPU %60 max frequency and it doesn't shutdown again.Can i do that in Arch Linux and How ?
BTW if am using powersave governor It doesn't shutdown but during play screen freeze 1 sec about every 1 minute other than that game is smooth.
