I set the permission on the btrfs subvolume to 770 so that my user and group have full access to the mount.

I could open the steam flatpak via the app icon totally normally until I set my nvidia gpu as the primary active gpu. After that I now have to use the flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam command to start steam. When switching back to intel/nvidia or just intel gpu the app icon can start steam again.\nWayland was a no go for any of my games so I am back on Xorg.

Downgrade Horizon Zero Dawn Github Script\n\nUbuntu 21.10 performance\n * FPS between 40 and 65 roughly\n * Frametimes highest about 25ms\n\n\nGameplay seems smooth\n\nWindows 10 21H2\n * FPS between 75 and 115 with DLSS enabled\n * FPS between 60 and 85 without DLSS\n\n\nFrametimes no more than 15ms\nGameplay extremely smooth\n\nConclusion\n\n\nValve and Ubuntu have a long way to go to catch up with Windows performance from what I have seen. I have tested over 20 games both Windows and Linux native games and almost always Windows pulls out ahead. This is not an issue with games that run at a high FPS (60 FPS or higher) but becomes much more noticeable when getting below 60 FPS.\n\n\n\nHeaven Dust and Heaven Dust 2\n\n\nDev - One Gruel Studio\n * Two person team from China\n * Publisher - Indienova\nProtonDB - Has no reviews yet (I’ll be writing one)\nI had 0 issues or modifications to get the games to run.\n“A love letter to Resident Evil.” \nA cutsie, anime, chibi style survival horror. Our character wakes up locked in a maintenance closet. We don’t don’t know immediately who he is or why he’s trapped in this zombie infested mansion but we learn about that as we solve puzzles and make our way out of the mansion/laboratory.\nJournals\n * The story is told through journals in true 90s survival horror fashion. \n * The localization is relatively bad. Better in Heaven Dust 2 but still not perfect.\nCombat\n * Controller - auto aim system\n * Mouse/keyboard - MG:S style\n HD1 has an animation issue, when bitten by zombies the animation takes longer than the zombies next bit. Often leading to one bit means death.\n * HD2 map is a little tighter than HD1 and zombies are often hidden behind the isometric wall and bit you without any clue they are there. The rooms in HD2 are blacked out before entering.\nPuzzles\n * The puzzles in HD1 are fantastic and sprawling. Leading the player to run back and forth across the already explored map to find keys and items needed to inch further. The items are callbacks to the RE franchise without being spoilers to the puzzles.** Vending machines\n * HD1 has a vending machine system. Each section of the game has 1 vending machine that can sell the player a map, gun powder, and various magazines.\n * The currency is coins gained from killing zombies.\n * The magazines are buffs to PC.\n","content_html":"

\nMinimum requirement of GeForce for Windows PC is 64 bit version of Windows 7.
\nAndroid phones work with 2 GB ram.

\nYou can share your best gaming moments on social media comfortably.

\n\n

Shadow Cloud Gaming Service
