(although I think that'll reset your game settings)

heady robin
#

checked the log generated with PROTON_LOG, nothing meaningful there was

#

I'll try to remove compatdata, thanks

heady robin
#

Still doesn't work after removing the compatdata folder on any other version of Proton.

heady robin
#

Just for reference, I compared two Proton logs (8.0-5 and GE-9.22), and in the GE-9.22 one, I have this line, which is not present in the former:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000000010 at address 00006FFFF75E6A22 (thread 01bc), starting debugger...

that's almost certainly the problem

#

Good day y'all! Guys is anyone of you playing Path Of Exile 2 on Linux ?

#

Well, I realized that I asked a stupid question

#

Now the real one:
I installed yesterday Linux mint, and I can't select Nvidia 4060 laptop gpu as card to run PoE 2

#

It shows only Intel card, how can I fix this ?

next tapir
#

try to offload your game to your nvidia via launch options

#

check the protondb reports

rich sparrow
#

Well, I tried to understand what you said but I couldn't

#

Now after update isn't starting at all 😦

jolly star
#

Did you install the nvidia drivers?

rich sparrow
#

but after update - cgame isn't launching at all

#

and what distro you would recommend me to install just to be able to browse the internet, sign some PDF files, read emails and play POE2?

brave seal
#

I use mint but im all amd and got no issues

(nobara is a fedora fork optimized for gaming maintained by the progon-ge guy)

Sorry I’m new to Linux. Was it made by Russians or someone else?

And it's the mtx hideout isn't it

#

So the mtx, Lol

#

You only get it from the supporter pack

rich sparrow
#

now in maps, no monsters around (and i disconnected second monitor from the laptop)

craggy pendant
#

The fps is 144, I just cropped it sloppily, it's in hideout

2694490_2.jpg
#

if nothing is happening the fps is 120-144, if there is a lot of monsters and ice explosions from my build it drops to 50-60

craggy pendant
#

poe 1 and 2 put a lot of strain on cpu so it might bottleneck easily

rich sparrow
#

correct, same in windows, same in linux, same on fresh windows install (now im currently on windows)

#

other games are running with no issues at stable 60

craggy pendant
#

yeah and windows for some people was worse than linux because of background wasted cpu making the bottleneck even worse

#

they applied a patch yesterday to reduce cpu over-utilisation but not sure how effective it was

#

and it might be mostly to deal with crashing not overall performance

rich sparrow
#

p.s. on my steamdeck it runs more smoothly than on my laptop .... what a joke from devs

craggy pendant
#

LOL

rich sparrow
#

and again, i am not looking for beautiful game... i just need it to rung stable between 45 and 60 fps ..

#

what are your stats ?

rich sparrow
craggy pendant
rich sparrow
#

jesus... what is your setup?

craggy pendant
#

on a pc so less heating up woes compared to a laptop

rich sparrow
#

is that a lot better than this setup ?

jolly star
#

Im on a 3070 laptop and minion build + a lot happening (esp smoke effects it seems) i can drop down to single digit fps. But i think hideout fps is solid, can check later

#

Strongbox smoke, rare deaths and breaches just eats up my computer from the inside

rich sparrow
#

i've read a lot of posts on forums... apparently this game will crash even on a quantum computer 😄

craggy pendant
#

For me on Linux it only crashed two or three times in Ultimatum but that got fixed

strong kraken
rich sparrow
#

correct, but i dont understand what this game wants from me in order to not eat everything

strong kraken
#

Only things I can think of atm is making sure engine multithreading is on

#

Oh and maybe trying different rendering engines, but I doubt that'll change cpu utilization

rich sparrow
#

i tried everything

strong kraken
#

Maybe also try using gamemode to squeeze a bit more performance out of your cpu

#

If you really want this fixed and have time to waste, you can try different proton versions

rich sparrow
#

i will check on that linux article later

#

after 12th of jan

strong kraken
#

best of luck then

my laptop is not choking, but i get lots of "lag" spikes on maps

image.png
#

especially it happens after a couple of hours playing

#

feeling like a memory leak smh

#

all of this started happening today morning

#

+-8 hours ago

#

before that game was fairly smooth

celest fog
#

have you tried changing the global chat channel?

indigo burrow
#

how can i do that?

celest fog
#

with /global [number]

indigo burrow
#

sorry for dumb question but it affects game this much?

celest fog
#

for some reason some people have issues with global chat, the cpu spikes when it loads every message in global chat

#

(even if it's hidden)

#

so you can try changing the global channel and if it's not that keep troubleshooting, like doing the LD_PRELOAD="" thing and so on

indigo burrow
#

okay i'll try

craggy pendant
indigo burrow
#

yea

#

i get multiple several gig updated every day

celest fog
#

those are probably shader cache updates

indigo burrow
#

makes sense

analog phoenix
# indigo burrow my laptop is not choking, but i get lots of "lag" spikes on maps

regarding the "laptop is not choking". sadly its not that easy to say. games usually cant utilize all cpu cores evenly. a single game thread can bottleneck all other threads, especially if its the main thread managing all the other threads. one thread can only run on a single cpu core. this is a reason why games benefit alot from fast cpu cores.

also your cpu temps look very high. this will cause thermal throttling which lowers your cpu speed to avoid heat death. there is a high chance that it will reduce the lifetime of your cpu if its always running that hot. i would look into cleaning the internal coolers. also maybe look into a seperate laptop cooler like this. they are surprisingly effective:

xpro-xp-171-laptop-cooling-pad.png

#

thanks for advice, i do have some problems with with cpu temp

craggy pendant
#

(cooling fan)

#

definitely I'd recommend one as well, back when I did laptop gaming it helped a lot

round ridge
#

anyone get network spikes and your audio cuts out?

strong kraken
#

Yes network spikes, but no audio cutting out. Is it correlated with a CPU spike as well?

round ridge
#

no it’s not just network seems to be peak times of day

I have installed the game on Mint Cinnamon (x11) and the game does not launch. Steam will say I am playing the game, but nothing ever opens until eventually it says I am not playing the game anymore.

I have an NVIDIA 3070 ti with driver version 545. I saw other users had to fix the poe2_production_Config.ini file but the file doesn't even exist for me at the file path where everyone says it is.

Any help would be much appreciated!

rapid ridge
hoary wagon
# rapid ridge The exact path may not be the same. If you find your Steam Wine prefixes, you c...

2694490/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents exists under ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/ , but My Games does not. Inside .local/share I don't see a steam folder either.
I tried doing a find / -iname 'poe2_production_Config.ini' and no results popped up. I am thinking it only generates this file when the game starts up, but the game does not start up for me at all. Any ideas for that?

outer pagoda
#

@hoary wagon have you set the game to launch specifically with proton?

hoary wagon
#

Yes, proton experimental, and proton 9.0.0 both have the same result.

outer pagoda
#

does hotfix work?

hoary wagon
#

Trying now

outer pagoda
#

could also be worth checking if there is a client.txt in the logs folder in the games installation files

hoary wagon
#

Hotfix worked, thank you!

Hi all! Does anyone knows why everytime I open steam, and click Play on POE2 it starts downloading an "update" which I think is shaders thing, and when it start it always says "Processing Vulkan shaders", it takes about 10min to finish, but it happens everytime

stiff pumice
# indigo burrow Compact mode? Is it a new feature?

No, it has been around since I discovered it a couple of years ago. You use the the flag -l for launch and then pass compact right next to it. I launch it that way with my default layout.

alias z = zellij -l compact --layout /home/chris/.zellij/layout.kdl

Have anyone got a price check overlay to work with hyprland?

indigo burrow
indigo burrow
#

but on hyprland behaves very poorly

#

widget on waybar exists but the "window" itself endlessly crashes

loud oyster
#

It doesn't create a window on Windows, I don't think it makes one on Linux either.

#

Just the widget.

#

At least it doesn't seem to on plasma

#

Theres an open ticket for it not working on gamescope as well.

indigo burrow
#

on hyprland it "seems" like window endlessly opens and closes

#

at least tries to

#

for now i can only manually price check

jolly star
#

yeah its trying to force poe window to windowed for some reason, got the overlay to run once now but it covered the game completely so it was useless

#

sad, dont want to switch to a DE either just for that

rapid ridge
loud oyster
#

It doesn't seem to work at all on steam decks game mode.

#

annoyingly, gamescope on wayland doesn't forward the clipboard to the host, so exiled exchange 2 is completely broken for me lol

another thing to check is if you can add exceptions to your tiling wm so it isn't trying to tile the poe2/ee2 window

Anybody managed to use vulkan on nvidia gpus within wayland? I can either use x11 with vulkan, or use dx12 within wayland. But i neither like x11 or dx12. 😅

Gonna try that

But first make sure that 0.1.1 launches on my laptop and nothing breaks

raw rampart
#

Looking for advice, I'm currently running Debian with a 3070Ti, wondering if its worthwhile changing over to Arch for the latest drivers?

#

My main problem is that I can't even install nvidia-smi cause the dependencies that Bookworm supports is too old to actually install lmao

#

And if I'm gonna go unstable, might as well go Arch, well that's my logic anyways

strong kraken
#

fedora/nobara is also a good option if you don't want to go rolling

brisk lagoon
#

Tried the neversink filter, but it told me I got some doctype error on line 7

#

Dunno if it is linux related, but that was waht came to mind

strong kraken
#

I haven't had any issues using it on linux. maybe check their discord server for support

#

there should be a link on their website

brisk lagoon
craggy pendant
#

Ah it was meant to be a forward smh

brisk lagoon
umbral atlas
#

Also don't be a dummy like me and forget that x11 does not do transparency and needs a running compositor
pepeRetard

#

I assume that hyprland and alike will too need custom window rules for "Exiled Exchange 2" window to make it work (setting it to float at least)

hey i wanna play poe2 since i have massive network spikes anything i have to do ore is steam enough ?

tulip seal
#

Is anyone else noticing a weird kind of choppiness with the vulkan rendering option? I notice I don’t experience it when I pick dx12. It’s weird because the frame rates are about the same but it almost feels like the vulkan renderer is bottoming out more than the dx12 one.

strong kraken
#

for me the framerates on dx12 are substantially better than on vk

little pagoda
#

vulkan has some sort of weird micro stutter

#

as far as actual fps though... vulkan and dx12 are basically identical. they definitely look different though... and honestly i prefer the look of vulkan?

#

on my hardware at least... which is all amd

craggy pendant
#

Vulkan is superior for me. X11, nVidia, AMD gpu

strong kraken
#

huh

wicked walrus
#

Anyone here got trade macros working with Linux steam version?

sterile storm
#

anyone else expriencing what seems to be a memory leak since the last patch? Whenever a lot seems to go on, like breach, the frame rate drops to 30 fps and sticks to that untill it restart the game, nominal fps is 120 for me with DX12.

strong kraken
sterile storm
#

I disabled that ... 😦

strong kraken
strong kraken
#

it still loads the shared library even if you disable it

wicked walrus
#

Okay so what’s the trick for exiled exchange to work on multi monitor Wayland ?

sterile storm
#

thank you

strong kraken
#

np

#

just remember to check in every once in a while to see if it's been fixed or not

#

since it breaks some functionality. although if you already have the overlay disabled i don't think there'll be any difference

wicked walrus
#

@strong krakensorry for the ping, how did you get exiled to work on wayland? im on bazzite gnome and exiled pops a window constantly so I cant focus on game window

what launch options for steam to skip all the intro crap is there anything besides just --intro-skip ?

Launch options

Launch options are command line arguments (parameters) for Client.exe that change the game. Most of these are not intended for use by players.

does pob2 work on linux

#

the source code itself in a tar from pob2 can be turned into a .deb right? idk ive never done it im looking into hwo to do that

#

do i just do the .exe in wine?

indigo burrow
#

wine is the way

#

Works perfectly on wayland

flint laurel
#

I'm assuming eventually someone will make a pkgbuild script to build the project for linux in the arch aur. Might try building it myself in the meantime. It's mostly lua though so yeah wine should be just fine.
If you want a shortcut or something you could probably just throw a bash script on your desktop that runs it. Or you could just put the portable exe there itself assuming wine is associated with exe files.

celest fog
#

Pretty sure there's someone maintaining Pob(1) on Flathub, maybe the same person will do it for Pob2

#

That's for 1

strong kraken
#

someone will need to update it. hopefully not me lmao

celest fog
#

No idea 😂

strong kraken
#

I have an idea because i've tried digging into it

#

the first issue you run into is the fact that the SimpleGraphics API has changed, specifically for the DrawImage function (though presumably also for other things)

sharp wraith
#

Tbh regarding PoB, I'd suggest just rolling it through Wine. Works well enough for me with bottles and actually feels smoother and less buggy

#

Requires no setup, just create an empty bottle

desert dagger
sharp wraith
#

yep, I needed to run an ancient devbuild so I just yolo'd and... it works. I remember in 2022 when it 200% crashed on launch or just showed a black screen

frail basalt
#

I used Bottles to install PoB2

#

How can I debug an issue that happens every 30-40min of gameplay where the game start to stutter really bad, I have to exit the game and open it again to keep playing, Idk what to do in that case

#

did not expect it to be under downloads

#

haha

strong kraken
#

yeah it's a bit weird. i think it downloads part of the shaders or something idk

frail basalt
#

So basically adding LD_PRELOAD="" %COMMAND% would fix the problem, right? Or i'm missing something

strong kraken
frail basalt
#

I had nothing on it haha

strong kraken
#

ah yeah then just setting them to LD_PRELOAD="" %command% should work

#

it gets a bit more complicated if you're already using stuff like mangohud

#

yeah

frail basalt
#

how do I know if Im using gamemode D:

#

Im kinda new to linux

strong kraken
#

if it's not in your launch options, you're not using it for that game

#

so you're fine

#

^yeah keep that in mind

#

for example, if you were using gamemode, it would be something like gamemoderun %command% now, and you'd have to do LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command% for it to work properly.

#

gamemoderun already prepends that library to LD_PRELOAD, so that first part is unnecessary and can be left as LD_PRELOAD="". the second part concerns mangohud, not gamemode, so it does not pertain to my example.

#

fwiw, if you want mangohud, I think it can also be done with just LD_PRELOAD="" mangohud gamemoderun %command%

keen terrace
#

was anyone able to get sidekick companion app for trading running on linux?

frail basalt
#

That would be awesome to have it working

strong kraken
#

this isn't the cause of your crash problems, but using gamemoderun and mangohud before LD_PRELOAD="" is pointless, as pretty much the only thing they do is change LD_PRELOAD. moreover, you shouldn't even be using mangohud with gamescope, and instead you need mangoapp (see gamescope --help).

#

I'd also recommend checking your system journal or other logs to determine what is crashing.

#

if it's gamescope, you can use the core dump to figure out where it's crashing (since it's open source).

compact marsh
#

At this point it would just be easier to change your proton runtime

#

I dont really know now, I havent been playing for a while. But most of the crashing issues I fixed with poe were about changing runtime

#

If you have tried it already I guess it wont help

strong kraken
#

yeah scaling xwayland windows on most wayland compositors is weird. can't wait for the wayland backend for proton to become standard

#

gamescope is kinda janky. i've tried submitting some PRs to make it better on wayland, but they haven't been accepted yet, and even then it's a marginal improvement

#

stuff like forwarding the clipboard

#

yeah i've been programming for a while

okay, better game actually gets into the laoding screen, gears struggle to turn and then crashes.

New Nvidia update doesn't play well with poe2 for some reason

#

Just booted up Metaphor to make sure its not the graphics card thats busted and its working fine, so this looks like something with POE2, can anyone else confirm?

raw rampart
#

Looks like the issue was with NVIDIA not playing nice with Vulcan on Wayland. Changing the renderer to DirectX12 in the game's config file seems to have fixed it.

little pagoda
#

yeah generally speaking most people switch to dx12 as it's more stable... some people can't use vulkan at all. I actually played with it on for most of the campaign, but would get weird microstutters/frame time issues

tools that read memory to get an advantage (like when 3.19 first dropped and people would open maps, check vram, then decide if they run the map) are bannable, and anything that violates 1 input per game action

I believe the length is supposed to be proportional to the amount used, so if it doesn't change length there may be something wonky in how Wine (well, Proton) reports total physical memory.

Garuda + Vulkan works perfect. If you're on Nvidia look at increasing your shader limit. That fixed all the stutters for me once the cache completed. 🙂

Which os Linux should i install to play guys, im only on Linux exept for my gaming computer, which one is recommended (i know its up to me) ?

fading topaz
#

I mean these days most distros can play games fairly well. What are you used to?

vagrant bone
#

But I need one which are optimize for game

fading topaz
#

IMO there are only a few factors that affect game performance on Linux (when comparing distros)

#

this being the GPU drivers (typically with Mesa or Nvidia proprietary), the linux kernel release, and the proton version

#

As these all get updated fairly regularly, you're probably gonna want something on a rolling release (or close)

#

I might recommend Nobara, which is a fork of Fedora, in that case

vagrant bone
#

And how about arch linux ?

proven needle
#

I usually stick to the newest veraions of GEProton and just use that through steam, but regular steam versions are prolly fine

analog phoenix
inland tide
#

its very beginner friendly with the new archinstall script tho tbh

#

im on arch , its completly fine for me atleast was on lutris b4 now on steam proton , no issues at all // however im full amd system cpu/gpu wise , nvidia or intel might have a different experience im not aware of

marble viper
#

Know that the main difference between linux distros is what package manager they use, so you should be able to do all the same things on different distros and have about the same performance

vagrant bone
#

Thanks guys for answer, i'll try nobara first, i always use windows for my gaming setup i'll do it step by step !

fading topaz
#

Personally I use arch, and if you're up for the setup I recommend it. But yeah something else like Nobara may be easier to get into

shrewd pewter
#

I run PopOS (A derivative of Ubuntu) for my gaming rig.

It's the OS that the folks at System76 use/maintain for their hardware. It stays rather up to date with drivers for latest hardware because of those needs.

But I keep my gaming rig stable and very little customization. If I want to do something "off label", that's what my homelab Containers/VMs are for.

little pagoda
#

Pop OS is very good and very windows like. Cachyos is the one arch distro I've used (currently on it) and it's a little more work (I had to manually install my network driver because it's a very new motherboard/2.5gb nic) but other than that... Just Works out of the box.

#

That's ultimately why there's very little difference noticed in most distros is they pretty much ALL "just work" now. Literally easier than installing windows

strong kraken
# vagrant bone Im used to work with debian or ubuntu

if you're already familiar with linux then cachyos is also a good option. their packages are compiled with optimizations for modern microarchitectures, so you should be getting (marginally) better performance on average

#

gentoo is also an option if you want to take this to the extreme, since you can build every package tuned to your specific hardware

#

cachyos is based on arch, but iirc it has an interactive GUI installer and comes with some stuff set up. you should still be relatively comfortable with linux before you use it though. if you do use it, i recommend also learning how to install arch (in a VM, for example) just in case you need to debug some stuff down the line

rapid ridge
strong kraken
#

i believe it the idea for cachyos started out as "nobara but arch-based"

dark sentinel

Windows got defender what Linux got ?

narrow magnet
# dark sentinel Windows got defender what Linux got ?

It's obvious this is bait but I'll bite just a hair for those that read this channel and are uninformed. On linux user privlages are greatly reduced by comparison to windows. Users cannot execute administrative commands without sudo. On windows, a user can act as an administrator by default without escalation. The only exception for things that prompt UAC. Lastly, the programs themselves cannot auto escalate their own privileges', where as programs installed in a windows environment can act as admin without sudo style escalation.

#

You can install windows, login, and windows assumes you're the authoritive figure. So anything you do will be unrestricted outside of prompting a uac window which is still a simple click. So if you do something silly or accidental to compromise your system, nothing is stopping it or you from doing it.

#

On Linux, you install linux, login, and are not assumed as an authorative figure without sudo.

It’s immutable fedora with optimizations baked in

bazzite is basically steamOS without arch, but I personally don't reccomend it for a Pc

#

I had a good experience with Endeavour Os, Install steam and everthing basically works

true ibex
#

Ubuntu takes some work to get it running with poe

strong kraken
#

afaik bazzite is more for handhelds or htpcs

#

i believe nobara has a better experience on regular desktops (or cachyos)

vapid sage
#

it's a bad filesystem anyways though imo you shouldnt use it regardless of os

#

only use it as a legacy support thing

true ibex
#

Its bad but either way, steam refused to read it from windows format -> linux

#

Ended up installing to root drive then reformatting a new drive

vapid sage
#

proton/wine doesnt handle the filesystem

#

either a filesystem works natively or it doesnt

#

that needs to happen on the operating system level

just wanted to check back in to see if anyone else has an issue with the game crashing when trying to open the social screen? i've tried the following:

  • changing proton versions
  • verifying game files
  • re installing game
  • changing from nvidia card to amd
  • changing from vulkan to directx 12

it's so weird - i haven't had any in-game crashes, except when I try to open the social screen - which is annoying, as it means i can't invite friends to party!
i'm using bazzite, and interestingly my friends who are also on bazzite do not have this issue

Hey. finally found the place to ask abouto my issue. I have problems with game laging. Cpu response times goes from 8ms to 60ms after a couple of alt+tab's. I've been investigating a bit and it could have to be with shaders and proton rerendering stuff after window changes states.

#

I have no problem with social screen. I could tell u my setup. @dusty bay

I’m not sure if it’s Linux related, game, or hardware. I have move minions bound to mouse1 and detonate dead bound to mouse2. If I hold m1 and click m2 it keeps spamming dd as long as I keep m1 down (at original cast point). If I bind move minions to middle mouse button I don’t have this issue at all

eternal seal
#

Thanks for the LD_PRELOAD fix. I've been having this issue forever 😃

#

How do you stop the "Processing Vulkan shaders" each time you run a game?

fading topaz
#

You shouldn't see it unless there was an update to the game, or to your GPU drivers

eternal seal
#

Hmm I see.. will try updating. How about nvidia_drm.modeset=1 as kernel parameter ? is it recommended?

#

Im using 570.86.16 which is the latest beta driver. should I downgrade to 550.144.03?

#

There's also the option to send vulkan shaders processing to background, could be a solution

fading topaz
#

I think you misunderstand what I meant. The shaders may have to get reprocessed each time you install an update to your drivers, and when there is a game update

#

You can let them be to process in the background, but that can result in lag and hitching during the game

eternal seal

Oh... Now I see what you mean

Try checking your system journal to see if that has any info on the crash

I haven't been able to play recently, but I went all the way up to t15s in the first month or so with zero crashes.

Looks to be an issue with wayland and plasma, so it's not the game itself that crashes. Going to try switch to x11

I've used sway+gamescope the entire time with no issues

Well, I do have some issues with gamescope functionality itself (e.g., no clipboard sync on wayland), but I've been addressing them in PRs.

However, gamescope devs work on valve time, so most of them aren't merged yet lmao

Definitely respect wise use of time but the archinstall script actually seems pretty convenient in case you didn't know. Default manjaro is still xfce right? That should have keybind settings. If you ever find yourself on a distro that doesn't have great keybind support you could always install the sxhkd service and use that.
If you were talking about actually swapping keybinds on the system such as swapping the E key with the Y key for example you could do this in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file.

Not related specifically to PoE, but maybe u can help. I've been having problems with shaders. I've tried enabling shader-precaching, background processing of vulkan shaders but every now and then game freezes and console msg is shaders related. How do u configure shaders? ty

strong kraken
#

does there appear to be any pattern in their ocurrence? also, what is the exact console message, just saying "shaders related" doesn't help much?

vapid sage
#

depends on how shader-heavy the game is, but absolute worst case scenario you will get stutters for 3 hours of gameplay tops

#

the first moments you jump in it will be the most brutal because dxvk wont have any shaders cached yet, assuming steam has not downloaded the precompiled shaders

#

but it will progressively clear up and eventually be completely gone

wicked oracle

i gave up on vulkan an i'm using dx12

performs way better

also you might want to disable sound multichannel ( it helped a lot when playing in parties )

I disabled shader caching a few days ago and then noticed the lags each time I go into a map. I've since re-enabled shader caching but I've never seen it do the caching since.

`Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Support about this.

I would advise against using any programs that interact with the game client to provide an advantage over other players, as this may result in your account being permanently banned. I'm afraid, due to the dynamics of our policies, we're unable to guarantee if a tool is allowed or would remain allowed in the future. If you're unsure if a tool falls within these guidelines, we'd suggest refraining from using such a tool.

Anything that modifies game files may result in access to the game being restricted indefinitely.

Please also be aware that any macros you use need to be manually controlled and only perform one action per use. It's bannable if it performs more than one action, or if it's on a timer (as this qualifies as "botting").

Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Rory`

Also open a forum ticket in bug reports section regarding to the false positive. That's the only place devs are looking at. (If you are lucky you might get support by mentioning them here or creating a Reddit thread as well.)

#

No offense but some real talk here; since the last 2 or so years support tickets seem to be moderated either by AI or some bunch of karens who never ever played any of the two Path of Exile games before in their lives. So I don't think you will get any real support regarding to game mechanics or technical questions.

=== Summary ===
(all wayland)
tested GE 10.3 without ntsync - lower "lows" than wine tkg /w ntsync, no difference in highs
xiv with ntsync - felt no difference in performance compared with wine tkg /w ntsync

got the same cheating warning with all of them. Even standard GE with xwayland, has to be a flag on my account, not client level.
No matter, im done with this league.

quick vortex
#

that's so weird

#

I also wonder why it doesn't auto ban

#

just shows a warning and that's it

I mean a false ban doesn't follow the false warning, wonders me why

if you have time can you open a forum post in bug reports? would be helpful for future Linux users if they solve false positives

By default, people are notified for both PoE 1 and PoE 2.

To customize your pings and channels, either:

  • Go to or #rules-and-info and double-press the :bell: icon to remove the the All-Notifications role or
  • Go to id:customize and toggle your answer for the "Ping me for both games marauderPinged" question to enabled, then disabled.

Either of these will remove the (formerly) default role and instead you can select either the poe1 Path of Exile 1 or poe2Path of Exile 2 roles you want. If you want neither, go to the #rules-and-info channel instead of onboarding and you can remove both as well. This may cause some channels to disappear, you can re-add them in id:customize and use 'Show all channels'

Only performance issues in poe2

Anybody else have the experience that PoE loads way faster on linux than on windows? Just something funny I noticed after dual booting windows for some things and trying out PoE on it.

#

Might be that it's different drives, but I think they are of similar speed.

my guess is a better filesystem and/or better ram caching

Loads what faster? Initial loading? Loading between maps?

Anyone else dealing with a sudden FPS drop after last night's patch? I went from pegged at 88fps (my set cap) with limited fluctuation below that, to barely hitting 60fps on the same settings today. On EndeavourOS, 5900X, 7900XTX and 32GB @4000mhz. It's almost like the game isn't leveraging my GPU anymore.

# marble viper enable and disable the vsync? maybe it got reset to default with the update

Thanks for the reply. I tried to change a few graphics options (including vsync) and nothing seemed to change. Reinstalled the game an I'm back to pegged at my frame cap. Oddly enough it also fixed an issue with the Texas server not showing up as available. However, now I'm getting periodically disconnected after starting a map, which eats the entire map and sends the node to "attempted." Pretty frustrating.

Has anyone had success with trade helpers like Awakened PoE Trade or PoE Overlay on Wayland? In particular, with Hyprland on Arch Linux?

fading topaz

Last I looked, the window overlay that APT uses calls a protocol that's specific to X11. You can still use the tool, but you have to use the browser window option

maiden steppe
# red copper Has anyone had success with trade helpers like Awakened PoE Trade or PoE Overlay...

There's some posts about that on the awakened-poe-trade Github, including some window rules which some people say work for them with an overlay. https://github.com/SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade/issues/1137

GitHub
Awakened Poe Trade on Wayland(Hyprland) · Issue #1137 · SnosMe/aw...

Been trying to adapt APT to work on Wayland(Hyprland). Managed to get kind of working with the following rules: windowrule = float, ^(awakened-poe-trade) windowrule = noblur, ^(awakened-poe-trade) ...

#

I'm currently working on the same thing, trying to get APT or Sidekick working with XWayland. Looks like I may need to use a different XWayland implementation, though - I normally use xwayland-satellite which gives each top-level window its own Wayland window. I suspect I'll need them in the same top-level window for input to all work correctly

maiden steppe
#

Running in labwc seems to work okay, looks like APT is getting a bit confused about mouse coordinates and thus auto-hide doesn't work. But opening for pricecheck etc without autohide works fine, at least

Anybody had the issue with PoB where it ghosts when moving around the passive tree and stuff? This was happening on X11 GNOME.

Also on hyprland when it wasn't fullscreened it would have weird issues where parts of the passive tree were transparent.

Hello, I'm running Path of Exile 3.26 on Linux Mint using Proton, and I encounter consistent micro-stuttering when entering a new zone (after a loading screen). The FPS remains high (e.g., 180+), but the game feels choppy — movement and animations stutter noticeably. If I leave the zone and re-enter it, the stuttering completely disappears in about 50% of cases.

This happens even in towns or regular maps. I’ve tried various tweaks, shader cache options, and launch parameters, but nothing has resolved the issue.

Here are my system details:

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070
Driver: NVIDIA 550.144.03 (proprietary)
Proton version: Proton Experimental
Renderer in game: Vulkan (also tested 12)

I've tested multiple launch options and configurations, but the stutters upon entering an instance still persist.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Any ideas, suggestions, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

halcyon moat
#

Does the stutter happen when you first ever enter a zone in this league or does it repeat when you re launch your game and enter the zone in the previous instance for the first time in that new instance?

#

I can help you if you would like

twin owl
# halcyon moat Can you please observe your on screen graph to what causes the stutters?

It is not caused by CPU spikes, and I also have stable FPS.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

I enter any instance (e.g., a map). Two outcomes are possible: either everything works normally, or micro-stuttering begins.

I teleport to my hideout. Again, stuttering may or may not occur (same behavior as step 1).

I enter the same map again. The same thing can happen — either normal performance or stuttering (same as step 1).

So basically any teleport (loading screen) may or not fix issue.

the ld_preload is to solve a problem where the game becomes laggier the longer it stays up bcs of some steam libraries.

The extent of the bar could be how Wine-likes report total memory to the application. The last time someone posted a similar screenshot I tried to make some applications of my own report similar figures but couldn't provoke it.

#

A freshly booted PoE1 on my Win11 desktop sits at 5.3-5.4 GiB but with a properly long bar, so the usage isn't too far off normal numbers I reckon.

#

(I believe I'm obliged by community customs to inform you that my laptop runs arch btw nyarch_btw )

twin owl
marble viper
fading topaz
#

I wouldn't necessarily point at it as the memory being limited. If the game can't allocate enough RAM, it could just crash. Considering the bar is "long" though, that would imply that the memory is a performance bottleneck

patent fern
#

The bar displays the current amount (which is likely correct) as a percentage of total system memory, which may not be.

Oh. I assumed it was related to like memory speed or something. My mistake

My poe2 on steam used to cache shaders on startup which was annoying so I disabled it in steam but then ran into lots of invisible features on first entering a map and shaders consuming CPU every time I portal. I tried re-enabling shaders on steam's config but now it no longer does it. I regret dropping the option, is there any way to force re-enable it without reinstalling (which I don't even know if it will fix it.)

#

Or was this a conscious change in poe2 itself and me changing the steam setting was purely coincidental?

fading topaz
#

Not sure if it's still a thing in PoE2 (I assume it is), but you can try passing --waitforpreload flag to have it load that stuff ahead of time

#

after the %command% ? I tried that, made no diff

#

in fact it was seeing that post just before mine that had me thinking I should ask the brains trust

You can tell in your Client.txt if an option is unrecognised, here PoE2:

you can remove the shader from /home/USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/238960 if you want, dunno if its necessary but i did

#

I did it to reduce load times between zones(didn't work for me, but i read mixed results), but it could have helped with shuttering maybe

#

If anyone knows if i can do something about load times it would be appreciated, dunno if its a poe problem or something else but i can get between 2s to 1min load times, i did SMART check my ssd and it passed

outer pagoda
#

the servers themselves can have a massive effect on load times, for eg the australian servers are typically pretty bad for act runs, anywhere between 10-90s from clicking the next zone while the texan ones load reasonably fast for me even at the 180ms ping, 1-15s

Hi, I'm having an issue playing on ubuntu 24.04 with an amd rx 7900xt, I use proton experimental in steam

The game runs fine at the start of the day for about 30–60 minutes, then closes by itself with no clear error. After this, the game keeps closing itself every now and then (1min, 5min, 10min max)

  • Steam just says "Game stopped" : game stopped [gameid=238960] Removing process 327953 for gameID 238960
  • I already tried clearing cache, changing Proton versions, monitoring temps, but nothing seems to work

any idea what could be causing this or what else I could check? thanks in advance for your time 🙏

What I did today was run the game from console PROTON_LOG=1 steam steam://rungameid/238960 and after this, everything was right, I can now open the game from steam.
other things I remember:

  • In game, I downgraded the option for water details.

I think I figured it out, journalctl hinted on glib being the issue which is provided by libmm-glib which is gamemode (which had an update today) and that I tried today and thought I remove already but didn't. Downgrading that package solved it

Personally I don't even bother using gamemode with this. Haven't found it to make any notable difference

Oh. That's all you get? You could maybe check your system logs then

heady gate

yup, steam shows playing for a few secs and then goes back to it not being played, presumably the process crashes/stops

steam's own log or you mean the OS level logs somewhere?

i've dealt with linux long enough, not quite the desktop/GUI side of things tho :]

fading topaz

Both? If you launch steam from a terminal you'll get those logs

so maybe my dedicated drive for steam is doing something

It's not 100% but it happens.
My theory is due to Nvidia being Nvidia. (I have a laptop 3060 gpu)
I am on mint, playing through steam.
Does anybody know of the issue?

Hey Guys, was thinking about swapping to Linux again. Any macros/Tools like the trade macro in windows? It's the 2nd last thing keeping me in windows yet again

Awakened PoE trade works fine on Linux

#

Though if you're using Wayland you may need to use the browser instead of the overlay

#

IIRC macros should still work

hi fellow linux exiles 👋

I'm trying to get a "scroll-wheel-click" solution up and running under Wayland (hyprland).
My wrists are starting to hurt lol.

I'm wondering if anyone here had any luck with that?
Tried input-remapper (mapping SCROLL_WHEEL_DOWN to BTN_LEFT) however I can't really get it to work.

E.g, when I'm in a Stash Tab and hitting CTRL+DOWN, the game switches tabs instead of moving items - seems like it has priority over the remapper

thanks in advance 🐧

I personally use keyd, which might be a better option for simple usecases. Not sure if it works for what you're trying to do though.

how is everyone running path of building on linux?

Off the top of my head:

  • there's a sometimes-maintained third party package in Arch AUR built around pobfrontend,
  • there's a Flatpak from some third party bloke built around pobfrontend, and
  • there's running the first party PoB via a Wine-like.

i'll try the flatpak version now

#

The first two have the drawback of being repackages/modifications of upstream source with a runtime that somewhat does the right thing.
The latter has the drawback of having to wrangle a Wine-like to get it running properly, but is more cohesive inside.

flatpak version fixed it all good

There's also an online version if all else fails

i just have a bat file that opens it in wine since i've been using it like that since expedition

i use lutris to install it but for some reason I have to run it via wine manually and it can't connect to internet, otherwise works perfectly though

I'm blaming my PC for this, it's known to be very cursed

real quick, so im new to the linux gaming scene but im not afraid to experiment, but why does the in-game resolution for POE2 seems so much better on linux in comparison to windows, such as the waystones look so much clearer in the inventory.

patent fern
#

The UI ought to always be full resolution on any platform. Things like display scaling should only affect 3D content.

#

It'd be interesting to see comparative screenshots if it's an actual thing, heaven knows what happens in translation.

#

let me see if i can get comparison screenshots rq

(mostly curious for myself)

to me the resolution in linux looks better, even in the screeshots

or am i just genuienly losing my mind
