well most of this stuff is optional. it will run almost as well by just installing wine and osu into your wine prefix without any additional tweaks. the directsound regedit is probably what helps the sound latency the most.TheReduxPL wrote:
That's a very comprehensive guide, thank you! On a side note, that just shows why Linux is far from being ready for gaming in general. Swapping kernels and video drivers, generally diving deep into the terminal just to get this game run as well as on Windows, where it's pretty much "install and play"...
Even though I'd like to try that. But I have a couple of questions before I get started:EDIT: I almost forgot. My PC is running Kubuntu 15.10 x64. My CPU is Intel Core i5-3350P and GPU is Radeon R9 280X,
- I actually forgot what kind of driver I have installed on my Kubuntu. "fglrxinfo" says "OpenGL version string: 4.5.13416 Compatibility Profile Context 15.302" so I guess it's fglrx (the fact that this command actually exists also seems to give that away...). At this point, what's the proper method of installing the driver from padoka's PPA?
- Once I do switch to padoka's mesa driver, is it safe to follow the "Simple installation" method for XanMod kernel?
as for diving deep into the terminal... well that's just how linux works. once you get used to it, it's faster and simpler than doing things with a fancy gui it definitely isn't as user friendly as windows but that's what makes it so powerful and modular.
well, I'm glad you managed to get everything working I also see you switched to the open-source drivers which is good, as from my experience fglrx sucked.
