Good morning lemmites, I just installed nobara on my aging gaming laptop, hoping to get a few more years out of it and potentially hook it up as a capture device for my desktop. Most of the process has been seamless but there are a few outliers. First being that I had an issue getting the version of Steam working off of the software portal, so I installed the flatpak to work around it being hung up on installing directX.
Now, I’ve managed to get some games working through Proton-Qt but I’ve noticed that it won’t detect what version of Proton I’m using for Mass Effect LE due to me installing it originally on the non-flatpak version of Steam which Proton-QT is still detecting. I uninstalled the old version of steam but am not sure what the appropriate method of cleaning the drive of old content is on Fedora linux or any linux distro, really.
In my experience the Flatpack version causes more issues than it fixes. Try installing it through Nobara’s package manager instead (I think Nobara uses dnf?)
I don’t use Nobara though so someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
I second this. On fedora I had a few too many issues with the flatpak and all were solved by switching to the rpm/native version
I tried installing it through the package manager originally and it wasnt able to get past installing directx.
Funnily enough regardless of what directories it sees, a reinstall of steam allowed protonup-qt to see that ME:LE was using GE-Proton 8-5 and is currently working!
Amazing… I’ve never had smoothness like this on this machine. I am getting the same performance out of 1440p that I used to get on 1080p, and at 1080p it feels like I’m playing it on my desktop. I never thought it would be usable again, this is crazy. The old girl’s 1050 is still chugging along and getting a clean 60fps. If I can get my main games all functional on here I might actually consider changing my desktop over as well.
