Mass effect для linux

Mass Effect

У кого и как получилось запустить сабж под линуксом? Как на счёт тормозов и глюков?

Re: Mass Effect

тормоза и глюки были, есть и будут.

Re: Mass Effect

Как на счёт нашей локализованной версии, которая ещё со старфорсом? Как вообще старфорс реагирует на вайн?

Re: Mass Effect

Re: Mass Effect

Старфорс, говорят, вообще никак не реагирует, ибо использует чересчур много недокументированных хаков оффтопика. Только если с nocd попробовать запустить.

Re: Mass Effect

Эээ товарищ, я от непонимаю. Ну хочеться тебе поиграть в эту быдлятину, ну поставь оффтоп. А если совесть/красноглазие не позволяет, купи специализированную железяку. Шо за изврат такой? Может тебе еще крайсис на дх10 подавай? Вон в оффтопик. А на ПС скажу: сейчас нормальных игр не делают, все игры расчитаны на тупое быдло, для которого WaW эфект от картинки это основное впечатление от игры!

Re: Mass Effect

s/нормальных игр/нормальных коммерческих игр/

Re: Mass Effect

К mass effect это не относится. Это лучшая рпг-игра со времён KOTOR.

Re: Mass Effect

Тебя кто-то под дулом пистолета заставляет играть «в эту быдлятину» или читать раздел Games ?

Меня вот удивляют люди, которые уже пишут на Лоре, а правила написания «не с глаголами» до сих пор не осилили.

Re: Mass Effect

Лучшая — не заметил. Вот никак не ожидал от биоваров столь короткой игры. Масс Эффект — полность пропах модой на пусть эффектные — но короткие на прохождение игры. Даже на COD4, который ругали за короткий сюжет, я больше времени потратил.

ЗЫ: Для игрушек держу хрюшу на отдельном диске — вайном почти не пользуюсь и смысла играть через него не вижу.

Re: Mass Effect

Re: Mass Effect

Согласен, тенденция выпускать тупой шлак, с невероятно прожорливыми требованиями удручает. И данная поделка — не исключение. Элементов РПГ там не многим больше, чем в контер-страйк, а геймплей чуть продолжительнее, чем у сапёра на уровне ‘новичок’.

По теме: старфорс не работает на вайн в принципе. Вроде как заявлена работа на цедеге (её единственное приимущество перед вайном), но у меня например тоже не заработали многие игры, удобренные быдлофорсом.

How to Install Mass Effect 3 on Linux

An easy-to-follow, step-by-step tutorial with screenshots!

The following tutorial will teach Linux users how to install the Mass Effect 3 game on their open source operating system.

The third installment in the Mass Effect franchise, Mass Effect 3, is an action role-playing game (RPG) developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts.

For more details about Mass Effect 3, you can check out the official home page or the Wikipedia article.

Editor’s note: For this guide, we have used the latest version of the PlayOnLinux application. We’ve tested the tutorial on the current 32-bit release of the Ubuntu OS, 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) with Wine 1.5.8.

Before anything else, please make sure you meet the minimum system requirements (especially the graphics card and CPU/RAM) for playing Mass Effect 3.

To install the Mass Effect 3 game on your Linux system, follow the next step-by-step (with screenshots) tutorial.

Step 1 – Install PlayOnLinux

The PlayOnLinux developers provide binary packages and repositories for many Linux operating systems, including Fedora, Debian, ArchLinux, Frugalware and Ubuntu, as well as a universal binary package.

We can’t write instructions for all these Linux distributions here; therefore, if you use one of the aforementioned OSes, go HERE for detailed installation instructions.

Step 2 – Install the latest version of Wine

The PlayOnLinux developers provide an easy installation process of any Wine version, stable or development. So, all you need to do now is to go to the «Tools» menu, select «Manage Wine version» and you’ll see a new dialog showing you available Wine versions on the left side, and installed Wine versions on the right side.

Select version 1.5.8 of Wine from the left side and click the middle arrow button to install it.

Assuming you have the PC DVD of Mass Effect 3, open the PlayOnLinux app and follow the first time instructions to setup the application. Once these are finished, you’ll see the PlayOnLinux interface. Click the «Install» button.

Editor’s note: If the game asks you about the PhysX Engine, install it manually by clicking the «Configure» button while the Mass Effect 3 entry is selected, and going to the «Miscellaneous» tab, and clicking the «Run a .exe file in this virtual drive.» Then search for the PhysX Engine installer in the /path_to_masseffect3_installation/_Installer/physx/redist directory.

Mass Effect Trilogy wine+winetricks.

Запускаем на Linux, любой Mass Effect из трилогии, используя wine+winetricks.

Устанавливаем: wine, winetricks, zenity (gui для winetricks). Создаём директорию для игры

/Games/ME. В директории игры создаём директорию wine, в ней создаём файл winecfg и winetricks, с таким содержанием:

/Games/ME/wine winecfg
exit 0

И в файле winetricks соответственно тоже самое, только в конце вместо «wine» вписать «winetricks». Делаем эти файлы исполняемыми.

Получается, что мы будем запускать игру из под отдельного wine префикса.

Запускаем наш созданный winecfg. Выскочит окно создания префикса, а позже окно с предложением установить wine-mono и wine-gecko — жмём отмену. После этого появится основное окно winecfg. Во вкладке «вид и интеграция» надо везде прописать путь к директории установленной игрой /home/имя вашего пользователя/Games/ME/. Во вкладке «диски» выбираем диск «Z:» и указываем директорию Games — то есть, /home/имя вашего пользователя/Games/. Всё. Основная конфигурация отдельного префикса создана.

Теперь настраиваем winetricks. Запускаем наш созданный winetricks. Выскочит окно winetricks gui, уже будет выбрано «Select the default wineprefix» жмём «ОК». В следующем окне выбираем «change settings», жмём «ОК» и выбираем: ddr=opengl, glsl=enabled, multisampling=enabled, psm=enabled, strictdrawordering=enabled, videomemorysize=1024 (ваш максимальный объём памяти видеокарты, у меня 1024), vsm=hardware, после выбора жмём «ОК». Следующим шагом будет установка необходимых компонентов и выбираем их мы из опции «install a Windows DLL or component», жмём «ОК». В появившемся перечне компонентов выбираем следующие: d3dx 10, d3dx 11_42, d3dx 11_43, d3dx9, d3dx9_26, d3dx9_28, d3dx9_31, d3dx9_35, d3dx9_36, d3dx9_39, d3dx9_42, d3dx9_43, mfc42, physx, vcrun2003, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, xact, xact_jun2010. Жмём «ОК» и устанавливаем компоненты. Всё конфигурация префикса окончена.

Теперь устанавливаем игру. Создаём в директории c игрой

/Games/ME, директорию iso, туда копируем дистрибутив с устанавливаемой игрой, копируем с CD. Создаём там файл run, в него прописываем тоже самое что и в winecfg, только указываем директорию к экзешнику инсталятора.

/Games/ME/wine wine setup.exe
exit 0

Запускаем наш run файл. Директорию, куда надо устанавливать игру указываем директорию

/Games/ME, по вендовым меркам это будет: Z:\Games/ME.

После установки, создаём в директории с игрой файл me (или любое другое название), в него прописываем:

Mass Effect Legendary Edition now playable on Linux with Proton GE

The big new release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition from BioWare and EA is only supported for Windows on PC, but with Proton GE you should now be able to play it on Linux. Should being the keyword, as Proton can be a little fiddly at times.

If you’re not clear on what Proton and Steam Play are, be sure to check out our constantly updated dedicated page. It’s a special compatibility layer for running Windows games and apps from Steam on Linux. Proton GE is the community-made version which has a number of extras.

Proton-6.8-GE-2 is officially out now with these changes:

• Mass Effect Legendary Edition Launcher and ME1 fixes added. All 3 games should be playable.
• DOOM Eternal should no longer hang and resolution change should work again
• Forza Horizon 4 frequency patch added, however this does not seem to improve the crashing :/
• RE8 REENGINE Logo audio is fixed and no longer plays static (game is still crashy)
• RE8 Display menu fixes ported from proton experimental
• Nioh 2 hang fixed (videos still don’t play)
• Fallout: New Vegas audio looping fixed
• 2k Launcher fixes ported from proton experimental (fixes mafia, mafia II, and others)
• Yakuza 0 — fsync disabled (thanks tgurr!)
• Yakuza Kiwami — fsync disabled (thanks tgurr!)
• LEGO The Lord of the Rings d3dx9_41 override added (thanks alkazar and FigoFrago!)

Also of note is that you may need to remove your Wine/Proton prefix for Persona 4 Golden to work, see how to do that in our previous article.

To use it here’s what you do:

1. Download the Proton-6.8-GE-2.tar.gz file from the release notes.
2. If this folder does not exist, create it:

/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/

Extract the archive downloaded in Step 1, and place the contents into the above directory.

Restart Steam if it’s open which refreshes the Steam Play list for Proton-6.8-GE-2 to show up.

Right click on your game, go to Properties, Compatibility and ensure the box is ticked named «Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool» then select it from the dropdown box that appears.

Want to see how Mass Effect Legendary Edition runs on Linux with Proton GE? See below:

Note: the stuttering you see is pretty common for running Windows games through Proton, as it needs to manually build up a cache to pull from. Usually not an issue on Windows, as games are directly made for it and build it themselves. Over time it becomes smoother and this is what the Steam Shader Pre-Caching system is supposed to be helping with. You can also try setting «DXVK_ASYNC=1» as a launch option which is not available in official builds of Proton but is in Proton GE, we did not test it directly for that video — a setting that should probably never be used for online games.

Spoiler alert though for older players: apparently the face of Tali was changed from a stock photo you could see in-game to a unique and more appropriate image, it does make me laugh that such a small change has generated big headlines across the major gaming sites.

For me, Mass Effect is one series that holds an immensely special place. I played through the entire series back when I was a big console gaming fan (before truly diving fully into Linux) and I loved the story and the whole experience. Being able to do it again, enhanced and on Linux is just beautiful.

You can buy it on Steam, just remember though that running it in this way on Linux is not actually supported. The usual caveats apply: it can break any time and the developer doesn’t need to ensure it continues working this way.

Mass effect для linux

Valve’s Proton [github.com] allows Steam users to run games that don’t have a native Linux implementation on their Linux machines. It’s amazing. Mass Effect is has a Gold rating on ProtonDB [www.protondb.com] which means it runs well when using Proton, with minor adjustments. If you have the game on Origin or you have a physical copy, you can also play on Linux, but you’ll have to use Lutris [lutris.net] or something similar instead.

Unfortunately, there’s not much out there on how to install mods such as A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) [www.nexusmods.com] and A Lot of Videos (ALOV) [www.nexusmods.com] for Mass Effect on Linux. It took a lot of work to figure it out, but I was able to do it. Here are some notes I’ve compiled in my quest in case you want to give it a go.

This guide is assuming you’re using Steam. Origin and physical copy users might find these notes useful though.

These are the system specs of the machine I played Mass Effect on:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• GPU: AMD Radeon 5700 XT
• GPU Driver: 4.6 Mesa 20.0.7
• RAM: 16 GB
• OS: Manjaro 20.0.3
• Kernel: Linux 5.4.3.44-1

This guide should apply to most Linux distros, I suspect. For example, GrayDog on YouTube is running Fedora 32 with ALOT and ALOV installed according to this video.

In this guide, I will assume the following:

• You have experience in Linux, e.g. permissions, using the terminal
• You know experience with Steam on Linux, e.g. you know how to backup games and how to run games with SteamPlay/Proton
• You have experience modding Mass Effect, e.g., you know that some mods are not compatible with each other and that texture mods are installed last

Finally, this guide is not exhaustive as it’s entirely based off of my experience. There might be multiple ways to install these mods or some steps that aren’t actually required. If you have any interesting information about installing mods for Mass Effect on Linux, let me know!

First, install a fresh copy of Mass Effect. Then run the game to make sure it works and so that Steam creates compatibility files that it needs for Proton to work its magic.

I highly recommend that you backup your game if you have the storage space because it’s possible you’ll mess up and need to reinstall. If you have any saves in /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/17460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/BioWare/Mass\ Effect/Save/ make sure to back those up too.

Next, you should install at least the Bring Down the Sky DLC first because some mods, like ME1 Recalibrated, require it. If you want Pinnacle Station, you should install that now too. Read this Steam guide by Flabdad.

It explains how to download and install the DLC. It also specifies a way to fix the audio issue, but there have been reported problems with that method according to this GitHub issue comment [github.com] .

The method to fix the audio issue that I recommend is by LennoxLuther on ProtonDB [www.protondb.com] .

Downloaded the exe version of this mod because installing the exe is the same as installing Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station exes. Below is an example.

Installing this mod is very similar to how you would do it on Windows.

Keep a copy of the old BIOGame.ini somewhere in case you want to change back.

Extract BIOGame.ini from the archive you downloaded and put it in /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/17460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/BioWare/Mass\ Effect/Config/ to replace the existing version.

Alternatively, you can edit the original BIOGame.ini. Look for RBPhysicsGravityScaling under the [Engine.WorldInfo] section and change it to 1.27 or your desired gravity levels.

Installing this mod is also very similar to how you would do it on Windows.

Keep a copy of the old dinput8.dll somewhere in case you want to change back.

Extract dinput8.dll from the archive you downloaded and put it in /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/Binaries/

Installing this mod is also very similar to how you would do it on Windows.

Extract the rar archive into /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/Binaries/

To uninstall, just delete those same files that you extracted.

Extract all desired files from the archives you downloaded. From the main ALOV archive, you’ll get two directories, BaseGame and BDTS.

In BaseGames, there is a Movies directory. Replace the contents of /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/BioGame/CookedPC/Movies/ with this directory’s contents.

In BDTS, there is also a Movies directory. Replace the contents of /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/DLC/DLC_UNC/Movies/ with this directory’s contents.

To install the optional FTL loading screen, take the lone UCW_Loading_Flyby.bik and replace /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/BioGame/CookedPC/Movies/UCW_Loading_Flyby.bik with that file.

Disclaimer: I had a lot of problems installing texture mods. I was not able to install MEUITM and ALOT with 100% stability, i.e. my game crashed a couple times when I clicked «Investigate» in conversation. Also, I ran into issues where shadows didn’t function properly when I installed MEUITM first then ALOT after, e.g. default male Shepard’s face became completely black.

Download the Linux zips from here [github.com] and extract. If the Linux zips aren’t in the current release, try another.

First, run /MassEffectModder.AppImage. Set the game path, e.g. /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mass\ Effect/Binaries/MassEffect.exe and the user path, e.g. /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/17460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/BioWare/Mass\ Effect What this will do is create a configuration file named /home/user/.config/MassEffectModder/MassEffectModder.ini The reason I use the GUI instead of the CLI version is that MassEffectModderNoGui gets stuck at this line [github.com] due to an error. I’ve never written any program in C++, but I know that a single C++ program might run differently on different OSes as well as different machines. In any case, the owner of the MassEffectModder repository removed the Linux programs in the latest release at the time of writing.

If you’re using Steam and the version of Proton you’re using is 5.0 or newer, you can skip to the next section.

If you’re using an older version of Proton, you’ll should enable the PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE launch option because it’s not enabled by default unlike Proton 5.0 and newer. You can skip to the next section.

Otherwise, you should use MassEffectModderNoGui to apply the large address awareness fix to ME1. Below is an example.

This section will be to install both MEUITM and ALOT [www.nexusmods.com] .

Once you have the zip archives, extract the contents.

For MEUITM, in the mods directory, there will be many mem files. Some mems will overwrite each other. Check installer.ini which was also extracted, to see which files correspond to which texture packs. Choose one of each type and move or delete the others. For example, I deleted Eyes_Vibrant.mem and kept Eyes_Vanillastyle.mem

There will also be some zip archives in the MEUITM directory. I’ve never tried installing them, but I suspect installing them only requires extracting the files to the proper locations similar to the SweetFX mod.

Consolidate the MEUITM and ALOT mem files into one directory. Typically, the MEUITM is installed before ALOT. With all mem files in one directory, the ALOT mems will be installed first since those files come first lexigraphically. If you want to ALOT textures to override MEUITM textures, I would add some z’s to the beginning of the ALOT mem files. To check if the ALOT files were properly installed after MEUITM, compare your game to these photos [www.nexusmods.com] .

Use /MassEffectModderNoGui to install the textures. Below is an example.

If you want to try the 4K textures, remove the —limit-2k flag.

If you run into issues here, you’ll need to reinstall your game (I hope you have a backup!) and all other mods.

This section is optional. The reason this section is optional is because although the textures looked better when I did, I felt that the game crashed more than when I skipped this step. Skipping this step should reduce and possibly eliminate crashes. I say «possibly eliminate» because I played the last 10 hours of a playthrough with the original BIOEngine.ini and experienced no crashes.

Use MassEffectModderNoGui to update the BIOEngine.ini. Below is an example.

I would not recommend removing the —limit-2k flag. My game crashed on startup when I did.

If you want to undo this, you can move /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/17460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/BioWare/Mass\ Effect/Config/BIOEngine.ini out of the Config directory and run Mass Effect. This should generate the original ini.

Feel free to ask questions if something doesn’t work. I tried a lot of things to get these mods to work so I might have forgotten to add a step or something.

Also, I don’t currently have a guide for Mass Effect 2, but installing mods there is similar to what is described here.
