Publicado Goverlay 1.7.0 con una gran cantidad de mejoras.

Vamos a destacar la capacidad de activar, con un solo click, la emulación de Raytracing para tarjetas gráficas viejas de AMD, la configuración de HDR y GameMode, así como el uso de FP8 con Optiscaler para tarjetas gráficas con arquitectura RDNA 3 (la misma que usará la nueva Steam Machine).

I figured out how to configure #MangoHud but getting it to run for all games was difficult so I resorted to using #Goverlay, which was conveniently already installed. Now I can easily toggle performance metrics on and off whenever I want!

Only problem remaining is it doesn’t show my CPU power draw, which I never really cared about in the past, but in the last few days I’ve been thinking about energy consumption while gaming. I’ll elaborate on that in a separate post.

Neste primeiro vídeo, mostro como configurar os repositórios do Debian 13 e instalar os pacotes essenciais para jogos: WineHQ, DXVK, MangoHud e GOverlay.

No próximo vídeo, será a vez da Steam, Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher e Lossless Scaling.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get Goverlay installed onto Alpine ? It's not in the repos and there is no Flatpak yet. I guess I could try to compile from source but was wondering if anybody else had any ideas. #alpinelinux #goverlay #linuxgaming #Gaming #Linux

So, #Fedora lasted 24 hours before succumbing to the exact same issue. (Part of the 24 hours was adapting some of my Ansible roles for RedHat based distros).

I also had an issue where my terminal would stop accepting any keyboard input except ENTER. (Wtf?) This was happening in Kitty but also in the native KDE terminal.

I then thought sod it, and fired up good old Debian 12 with Gnome ... and what do you know, it's the same issues!

I figure at this point, I'm cursed and I have some broken config. So, I rename by .zshrc file and reboot ... joy... the keyboard works! My shell no longer freezes!

Only now, I can't get #goverlay running, and #corectrl won't install.

As a last ditch effort, I wipe the system one more time and install #Mint 21.3 ... everything works. Everything. Goverlay, corectrl, gamemode, my shell, 1Passwords SSH agent ... all of it.
