Seems like everyone is on $SOCIALMEDIAPLATFORM and has left good old forums behind. Very few forums seem to have much activity. Playing games on Linux has become quite easy these days, not really requiring much tinkering, which might also explain less interest in a place like this. For my own...

I didn't even think about the CPU, but I would definitely not rule that out. I have no experience at all with integrated graphics, never had a CPU with that. I don't know if it's possible that the CPU is doing the desktop rendering, which might explain your issues.

That sounds like a pretty good idea to test.

Hey, sorry for late reply, been occupied. It does sound like a power issue, which is odd as it shouldn't be a problem according to your specs. It could simply be a bad PSU. But, did you try both these settings at the same time for PulseAudio: /etc/pulse/default.pa load-module...

The Nvidia open driver is undoubtedly as stable as the proprietary driver, it is developed by Nvidia after all. As far as I understand, the plan is to fully open source their Linux driver so I would not worry about trying it out.

Nvidia has started to release open source driver (nouveau is also open source, but not developed by Nvidia), but as far as I know it only supports a few GPU's at the moment. You could always try the open source driver, I assume it supports your hardware since it is recommended. The proprietary...

I don't know for sure, but if the PSU can't power the GPU properly then you might experience stability issues, which I suppose could manifest in the way you experience. But there are some troubleshooting steps you might want to try from the Arch wiki...

I want you to try one thing, just to rule out other issues. Create a brand new user profile on this computer, and try it out with the new user.

This is certainly not an easy one to figure out. Have you tried to play sound over other outputs than HDMI? Just to attempt to narrow down the issue, see if sound plays fine on any other output, audio jack, or some USB sound output if you can test it. Otherwise, the only thing that comes to...

I love that game! Dagoth Ur was an amazing villain, there was so much story and background to dive into. One of my all time favorite villains is Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2: "I cannot be caged. I cannot be controlled. Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools!" Said as he...

I have to admit to being a bit proud of figuring out how to enable AI opponents for Stronghold 2 multiplayer. I went into it knowing next to nothing about analyzing and modifying memory of running processes, but I learned a lot and got it working. I did post about it here when I made it, there's...

Sorry for late reply, was on a little trip out of the country. Copying from Steam also works. The github link is where Steam's files come from, so it is the source. I just posted it since it saves you needing to copy the files manually, and you can get newer versions than what is shipped with...

Hey, nice to see you doing a guide on this game. It runs really well. I would however suggest getting a much never version of vkd3d-proton. The newest 2.7 release requires newer gpu drivers so it might not be a good choice, depending on your gpu. But with the 2.6 release you get better...

My tool has been updated a while back. The previous versions were working by constantly overwriting a single byte in memory while the game is running. This byte controls if you can see the button that lets you add AI opponents. The new updated version works a little differently. Instead of...

Recently updated this so it will now find the game PID automatically. The Linux version is easier to compile now, with the added makefile. You just need to go into the 'src' directory and type 'make'. I also created an AUR package for Arch Linux...

I now have a dedicated download page for precompiled Windows binaries. This might not be very interesting for us Linux users, but might be useful if you know someone on Windows who plays Stronghold 2. https://www.questforgaming.com/stronghold2/ It's super easy to compile on Linux, and I'll...

I've been playing a lot of Stronghold games, mostly the first one, and Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends. I really like all the life going on in the castle in Stronghold 2, and how you have complete control over your estates. However, Stronghold 2 does not have the option to play cooperatively...

Hello, checking in here again, been a while! At the moment I'm playing Baldur's Gate. Not the Enhanced Edition, I'm playing the original game that runs in 640x480 resolution, and I have to say that I find it a lot more enjoyable than the EE. Why I like the original version better I can't say...

Despite the Red Party being two previous parties merging, and one of the communist, the Red Party itself does not identify as communist. It is a socialist party that takes a firm stance against any form of anti-democratic ideals. In all honesty, the politics of the Red party here in Norway is...

Arch definitely takes more time and effort, so using it as your every day OS is probably only for the specially interested, or those who enjoy the DIY experience.
