Hello fine gentlemen, gentlewomen and gentleothers.

I have a Ukrainian keyboard where 2 keys don't match with the Ukrainian layout and, unfortunately, I can't exactly swap them nor edit the firmware or anything of the sort. This is a problem for me because I can't touch type on my own layout let alone a layout I'm still learning where everything is.

Does anyone know a program where I can edit a keyboard layout, preferably graphically (I love CLI and TUIs but this task would be easier graphically for me), on KDE Plasma with wayland?

Thanks in advance

Step 1: Install the game via Lutris

(Use steam if you bought it via steam)

• Click the + sign, search Black Desert and install the first one
• Choose the installation path (default is fine)
• Do not create any shortcuts during any point of the installation
• Do not run BDO after installation

Step 2: Add the game to your steam library

Why? Because via Lutris' wine version the camera doesn't work properly

• On steam go to Games > Add non-steam game on the top right
• Find the BlackDesertLauncher.exe in the instalaltion path. Should be /install/path/drive_c/PearlAbyss/BlackDesert/BlackDesertLauncher.exe
• Right click the game on your library and go to properties > force compatibility layer > proton experimental

Step 3: Run the game via Steam

If at first it doesn't run just close it and open it again. The Black Spirit's Adventure, the Adventurer's board, and the guild daily message doesn't display properly (you can still use them however if you remember the buttons by memory), everything else works perfectly fine.

Note: if you have it, SELinux tries to block it, you can dismiss the reports and it should work fine, otherwise you may need to set policies or disable SELinux. I will look into this further

First of all, sorry if it's the wrong community. I tried asking in the NixOS Discord but they were completely useless so far.

As stated above I use NixOS (btw). I have two PCs, a Lenovo A285 and a desktop, both have NixOS with the same exact configurations (except for hardware related stuff, so disk encryotion for my laptop, automounting disks for the desktop, stuff like that). The program versions are both the same, however on my laptop the HoI4 launcher looks like pic related, while it works perfectly fine on the desktop.

If I resize the launcher the background image displays for a little bit but then it goes blank like in pic related, I can still push button and all and they work but without knowing what I'm clicking it's kinda useless.

Running journalctl I get this.

Obviously this is an issue as I can't change mods unless I uninstall and reinstall them whenever I need to disable/enable them.

Anyone know what could be the cause?

EDIT: I want to note that other games work fine, and I never had this problem with Arch and arch-based distros.

EDIT 2: Forcing it to go through Proton works though if someone finds another solution for native do let us know.

Hello everyone,

I am crossposting this from /c/linux_gaming

I wanted to write a guide on how to play Anomaly on Linux which works as of 19th November 2023.

I use Arch with KDE plasma (and I also tested it with Xfce4) and it works perfectly fine, it even seems to work on Wayland session but I haven't done extensive testing. It should work for any distro as long as it has what you need. So here it goes.

Step 0: Requirements

You'll need to have Steam, Protontricks, and obviously the game files downloaded from the official sources

Step 1: Extract the game files

You can put them wherever you want, I personally chose ~/Games/Anomaly/. Essentially put the ".7z" files wherever and extract them, I do this with this terminal command:

7z x Anomaly-1.5.1.7z

and then

7z x Anomaly-1.5.1-to-1.5.2-Update.7z

Make sure to overwrite anything when extracting the 1.5.2 patch

Step 2: Add the game to steam

Open up steam, on the top right go to games > Add a non-Steam game > Browse and then navigate to and select the .exe file, then Add program.

Step 3: Set up Steam compatibility layer

On your Steam library Right click the Anomaly game and go to Properties > Compatibility and click Force the use of a specific compatibility layer and select whichever proton version you prefer. I went with Proton experimental and it works fine. After all of this is done, run it once and wait for it to crash.

Step 4: Protontricks compatibility

Now open up protontricks, I'll use the GUI via running:

protontricks --gui

Then, select the Anomaly game > Default profile > Install DLL and you'll want to select these:

• d3dcompiler_43
• d3dcompiler_47
• d3dx10
• d3dx11_43
• d3dx9
• d3dx9_43

Let it install everything then close it and launch the game via steam. You're set to go.
