Not only that, but in general mods in documents cannot override application level details. They don't have permission, so the only mods that can go in there, are ones that do nothing to existing code/objects. Even if a mod is put there and appears in the menu in-game, there's no guarantee it's working if in documents versus the games installation folderBaronVerde wrote: ↑Fri, 12.

It is not a part of the Linux file system hierarchy, and I don't have one under Debian with XFCE4 as desktop.

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Thanks for all the responses. Since I am a steam user under Windows 10 as well as Ubuntu, the X4 directory structure may or may not be different for other distros:
Ubuntu Linux:
~/.config/Egosoft/X4/####/
constructionplans
/extensions
Mods
saves
logos
AND:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/X4 Foundations
/extensions
ego_dlc_split
mods
Unfortunately, some authors of these X4 mods specify to put their mods in other extensions directory (.steam or .config). The game pics up my construction plans, logos, saves and runs great in Ubuntu!

What I'm saying is that it should always be .steam, if the mod dev says otherwise, they're just plain wrong.JonathanVQP wrote: ↑Fri, 12. Mar 21, 21:57Thanks for all the responses.

In that case, it should be where the game is installed, which may or may not be underneath the home directory of the user.Rastuasi wrote: ↑Fri, 12.

In my case, the steam-library is on a local NVMe drive. My home directory, however, is stored on a seperate system.
Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Is anybody using a PS4 controller on Linux and tried the latest Beta versions of X4?
After upgrading from 3.x to the 4.0 beta, I can no longer switch between mouse and game pad input. Once the game pad is connected, I can no longer switch back to mouse input. The mouse cursor only comes back once I disconnect the PS4 controller. This already happens in the game menu, but also in game.
I also tried to downgraded to the stable 3.x version and it worked flawlessly to use mouse and game pad in combination. I also opened a ticket here with additional information: viewtopic.php?f=192&t=434542
Is anybody else experiencing this or is it something specific to my setup? As a work around, "Enable steam input" in the Steam settings made the mouse usable again for me (in case others are affected as well and it is still happening with the stable 4.0 version)

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
That sounds like the opposite of the issue covered in the Known Issues and Workarounds Sticky thread on this forum:
"Joystick, HOTAS or controller that used be recognised in-game is no longer recognised
See if disabling the Global Steam Input Settings option in the Steam X4, Properties, General tab helps at all."
This would indicate that this type of issue has been around for certain systems and set-ups long before these betas. It is interesting though that the situation for yours changes between release and beta versions. Thanks for the report.

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
I just tested it with the release version of 4.0 and the problem also happens there.
I also had a look for
The workaround with "X4" -> "Properties..." -> "Controller" -> "Enable Steam Input" is also applicable for the release 4.0 version. I hope this "Steam Input" works properly....

I don't have "Global Steam Input Settings" in "X4"->"Properties..." -> "General" . I think steam redesigned the "Properties..." menu some time ago.See if disabling the Global Steam Input Settings option in the Steam X4, Properties, General tab helps at all."

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Hello all. I've been a linux user off and on for years now. I started with slackware linux way back in the early 90's. I recently installed Manjaro Linux (gnome) on my PC. The performance of X4 on my system under linux is terrible compared to what I remember getting on W10. Any suggestions before I reinstall W10?
Edit: I'm getting 25ish fps with the map pulled up, 34ish on a station, 80+ while flying in space with a 5600xt @ 1440p or 1080p (no change in fps) both at high or med settings. In W10 I never dropped below 45 on station or with the map up.

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with latest nVIDIA drivers and I am experiencing a odd situation:
when I first start the game it loads but when I try to open the map it crashes (CTD) with this error https://i.imgur.com/f2H1jB3.png
starting the game again seems to work though.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Are you using an NVidia RTX 30x0 series card by any chance?
Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Thanks for the reply CBJ; no, on Linux I don't. I would've mentioned it knowing the issues with the 30xx cards. I use an old GTX760.
I also get this funny flickering on all NPC faces https://files.fm/f/bmup9853y
Re: Linux Support (Beta)
@Imuniser
Can you upload your vulkaninfo output somewhere (e.g. pastebin.com)?
Also can you try an older driver version? To check if both the flicker and crash happen?

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
I can try the default Ubuntu one which is one verison behind the one I am using (using the one from the nVidia site, manually installed) however I have noticed a loss of frames with it as @Padraic mentiones above but on nVIDIA. Should I go for a 3xx driver version?
Re: Linux Support (Beta)
You should try the "Proprietary Tested" one... but you must make sure that you have min 4GB VRAM. Previous versions of X4 were less demanding than V4.00Imuniser wrote: ↑Wed, 17.

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
The proprietary tested is the one with which I get a loss of frames, that is why I have installed the latest from nVIDIA which behaves a lot better.
The card has 2GB VRAM but I have seen no issues on a low setting (other than this initial game start crash and flickering faces; the game runs perfectly on a subsequent load). Playing on this one as the Win10 3070 crashes with a lot of zest

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Seems likely it's related to gpu-memory.
Might be that the first run forces the driver to flush some things out of memory which makes the subsequent run less likely to fail.
Btw only the first time you open the map after starting the exe has a risk of failing, though atm there are other things which have that risk as well (iirc some encyclopedia entries).
We've been working on fixing/improving these issues for a long time and hope to release those relatively soon.
In the meantime reducing gpu memory consumption should help.

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Version: 4.0
RX590 (Polaris)
I have some graphical corruption with RADV and mesa-git (commit hash b804abd61de2fd28ffe754bd136aba96a0bfb931) in the newly added CoH messages.
It seems like it doesn't happen on Windows as far as I can tell from youtube videos. Does anyone else experience those?

Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Thank you for the answers, future fixes and the time you spent looking into this @timon37. I will install a different videocard, a gtx 1080 with 8GB RAM and see if it crases again. It may very well be that the VRAM is at its atmost limit at 2GB.
Re: Linux Support (Beta)
Question about adding command line arguments
I want to add the following arguments:
How should I do it, if I launch the game from the menu shortcut?
Should I edit the start.sh script? If yes, what is the correct syntax?
Thanks in advance!
