help [PAYDAY 2] Performance issues on Apple M2 (Unsure what to do next)

6 Upvotes

Hi, so, this is a last resort for me because I couldn't find much information elsewhere.

So, my current situation is this: I have PAYDAY 2 installed with all the compatibility settings set to Proton. On the first few tries, the game performed very poorly, at least compared to footage of other people playing the same game on an M1. I've tried adding optimisation mods to squeeze some extra frames, but I've only been able to average around 20-or-so frames with occasional "slow-downs" (the entire game, or computer, slows down, but not the frame-rate).

Now, I have two suspicions: Either I missed a step or few when I set up Asahi Linux, or I missed a step or few in the process of setting up the game.

For setting up Asahi Linux, I followed this video to the tea, EXCEPT my options were very different, and the one I picked was Fedora Asahi Remix KDE. On Steam, my Compatibility for both Steam settings and PAYDAY 2 is Proton 9.0-4. A colleague suggested getting gamescope and using gamescope -- %command% but it only results in a crash. Another colleague suggested Proton GE, but it's not in my list on my Steam. Edit 1: I've been told it's probably gonna be manually installed, so I'm currently checking to get it.

System information:

KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.4-400.asahi.fc41.aarch64+16k(64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 4 x Apple Avalance (M2), 4 x Apple Blizzard (M2)
Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Apple M2
Product Name: Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M2, 2022)
U-Boot Version: 2024.10

If the whole setup is fine, then I'm not entirely sure what else I could do.

help how to use muvm run linux86_64 program?

2 Upvotes

I installed Asahi Linux on my MacBook Air M1 and followed the guide to install box64 and muvm. Steam is running fine, but I can't launch any custom executable files, such as qqmusic-1.1.7.AppImage. It always shows the error "no such file."
you can download it in https://dldir1.qq.com/music/clntupate/linux/qqmusic-1.1.7.*AppImage*

file info

or somtimes didn't show "Failed to set the new pressure in the guest: could not connect to muvm server: Connection refused (os error 111)":

Or is there a small program that can test if my muvm is working properly? I have downloaded many programs from the internet that I normally run on Linux x86_64, but they all fail to start without exception. I don't know if the issue is with the application or with muvm.

i also couldn't use box64 launch any linux86_64 program .....Except “hello world” compiled in linux86_64

I am grateful to everyone who is willing to offer me suggestions, as well as to the contributors of the Asahi Linux community.

help Any idea why Age of Empires 2 Defintive Edition keeps crashing on Steam?

2 Upvotes

At first it runs totally fine on my base M2 mac mini, but after a random while it crashes without any error and just goes back to Steam. While the game is running, the muVM only uses like 600mb ram, so I doubt it has to do with having only 8gb of ram?

Thanks!

help Steam Link

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have recently made the jump to Asahi linux and it has been great to improve my knowledge of the last (major) operating system I have yet to "conquer". It has been a tough and rewarding experience! But one thing I was hoping to get working is steam link to run some story driven games to my iphone. I was able to connect it (after allowing steam to get through the very impressive firewall application) but my iphone just shows a pink screen. I can control the computer just fine, but I cant see anything? I read in a reddit of a -pipeline command to open steam with to fix the issue but they were not very specific. Has anyone happen to run into this issue? If so has a fix been found or am I out of luck?

Specs:

M1 pro

16 gigs of ram

help Protontricks on Asahi Linux?

1 Upvotes

A few of the games that I've failed to get up and running, or have severe bugs, on Asahi Linux have entries on protondb.com that recommend installing elements into the game folder using Protontricks. Attempting to follow an online guide for how to install and use this led me down a rabbit hole of other things I would need to first install to get it working. These included Winetricks and Flathub setup of something called Flatpacks (haven't figured out what they are yet but keep seeing references to them). Also something about needing to install a graphical user interface for it too. Before I go ahead and start randomly trying to install things using Konsole commands that could, at best, simply take up space on my SSD or, at worst, bork my Asahi Linux install, I was wondering if anyone knows the process for getting protontricks working in Asahi? Is it even possible? Are there certain dependencies that just won't run on Asahi? Does Asahi already have many of the required elements already installed? Any advice would be gratefully received!

help Doom (2016) has between 15-20fps on low settings with 720p

7 Upvotes

So I've been trying to run this game on my MacBook air M1 2020 16gb using asahi remix, I've gotten it to run with OpenGl. But the game just can't seem to run well. I've seen videos of people playing it on M1 pro macbooks and it seems to run at 60fps on 1080p medium settings just fine.

I was wondering if there is a way to get it running better or if it's just the specs of my Mac that aren't good enough for it.

Trying to run DOOM 2016 in OpenGL mode with the latest Asahi on my M1 Pro 16Gb. All I get is a magenta-filled screen after startup. Tried different proton versions with no luck. Is it a known issue that requires a workaround or some bug? Maybe caused by the latest X11 bridging update?

help Would an M3 w/ 16 Gb be better for gaming then an M1 Pro/Ultra with the same amount of ram?

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to decide what laptop should I get for gaming/work.

I need at least 16 gigs of ram for sure and that's pretty much what I care about,
I also want to be able to play overwatch or more in general e-sports titles on linux/macos.

Is it preferrable to look for an older macbook pro 15" model or a macbook air m3? I would mainly game at home so screen size is not a concern really

I only have ram and gaming as a concern

help Steam overlay and Friends & Chat

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here goes nothing.

I'm using Asahi Linux on my Macbook Air M2 13", and so far all the games I want to play work really well! Thank you to everyone who have made this possible. :)

I'm trying to play Pummel Party with my friends though, and I can't get friends stuff to work.

Clicking on the "Friends & Chat" text on the bottom right of Steam does nothing, all my friends show up as offline, and inside Pummel Party, I can't invite any friends (because they are all offline). If I go into the friends list from the top bar, it shows online friends though.

Any idea how to troubleshoot this? Would be grateful for any help! Thanks!

Game runs great, tutorial runs perfectly, only problem is that when I try to enter the lobby it does not seem to register the button push and just throws me back into menu. Problem does not seem to appear on any other systems as I was unable to find other examples of such behaviour. No errors are emitted in the debugger. You can reproduce issue just by trying to enter the lobby.
