So uh, now it works. My screen went black and came back but I could only select 30hz. So I decided to reinstall everything nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils and opencl-nvidia.
After this magically Sims 1 and 2 work! I have tried to get old games to work since October, and I am sure I did this already before, but somehow it now works.
Thanks for everyones help!
Ah, alright, I am using a 3090, that I was foolish enough to buy during the gpu shortage, it’s probably not the best supported gpu as it is so expensive and not that common. I am using nvidia-dkms (thought it would have the best compatibility), maybe I should try nouveau just to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks
Would it be something that only nvidia can fix? Or is it a driver issue as in a corrupted install or something?
Thanks!
Sorry, Wayland not X11. The weird thing is that it only happens with old games, I guess I could switch to X11, but I am pretty happy with Wayland otherwise. If there was any fix I could try I’d want to do that before switching to X11.
You will get this Fanta, and you WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!
No one? Really? That sounds like heaven! is very introverted
How does that work? Almost all old Windows games can be played on Linux with Wine or Dosbox?
Ah I see ;) I also have two loves, but my gaming pc is too heavy to drag to bed…
I know! Horrible isn’t it? I just can’t help it, thinking about stuff is actually fun for me… so embarrassing!
One reason why that is probably not true is because there are less positrons but if it were true they should number the same as electrons, right?
But if electrons are moving along the same “time direction” as we are and positrons are moving in the opposite “direction” then wouldn’t we expect there to be less protons? As we can’t measure the protons that already “passed” us? And we would measure more electrons as a some/many/all of the existing electrons are traveling alongside us?
It’s… it’s dead Jim.
At least Lise Meitner is not forgotten, I currently work in a building on Lise-Meitner Street!
I use Arch! How dare you say that I am unhappy? I am frothing at my mouth! I am totally happy, can’t you see that? CAN’T YOU SEE THAT???
At some point some artist is going to screw with all of us by taking a real photo with a campfire in a tent.
And when they disable the download because “game is old” or “we want to remake it” or “servers are too expensive” then what?
You don’t own the game and you don’t sell the game. You own a temporary license to play the game and sell that license.
Just like on Steam or any digital store front.
Sure the advantage is that you can resell your license, but let’s see if those cards still do anything in thirty years, like games from thirty years ago do now.
They made a really shitty situation (not owning your games) a little less shitty.
p.s.
Obviously we are also in this mess because convenience trumps ownership, that’s why Steam and business models like these grew so popular.
