I don’t have a spare external drive 😭. I tried installing on a flash drive and the game still crashed, but the whole thing was so slow I can’t be sure of the cause.

I tried to create a partition on my drive and install bazzite but apparently it doesn’t like that so I dunno 🤷. I guess I might try installing Mint on the partition and see how that goes.

Turns out it’s not fixed on KDE. It’s just that it randomly lets me play for 5 mins without crashing sometimes.

I’ve tried downgrading graphics drivers, rolling back to a previous kernel, no change 😭

Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.

I think the implication is that linux has far more bugs, so it’s not worth supporting it for such a small audience. That’s when more bug reports are bad.

This post is raising that only 3 of the 400 linux user bug reports were actually linux related, so it’s not that linux as a platform has far more bugs, but that linux users are much better at reporting bugs.

I worked out I can easily install Plasma and switch between DEs, so have done that. The game doesn’t crash on Plasma, so it seems to be GNOME related. Which is a shame because I love GNOME and am not a fan of KDE, but I guess I’ll have to use KDE for a while 😅

Thanks, I went with the trying random stuff option. Not really in the mood to reinstall my distro and restore a backup 😆

With comments from some of the others I ran with the idea that it might not be my distro, and came across recent complains about crashes in GNOME. I then installed Plasma as an alternative, and when I log in to the Plasma DE and run the game from there, it doesn’t crash, at least not in the same reliable way that it does in GNOME. Super annoying as I love GNOME haha, but I guess I’m gonna be running KDE for a while, at least until I’m done with this game.

It’s also possible that GNOME on Nobara doesn’t get the love it used to. It was the default DE for quite some time, but a year or so back they switched to make KDE the default, with GNOME still offered as an optional version.

My distro has been fine for years up to this point. I’ve bounced around others but always come back.

Running Steam through the terminal doesn’t give a whole lot more info, the game just freezes, nothing in the terminal until I click the force close option that pops up. Then it shows:

(process:126826): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 22:15:58.804: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Didn’t help :(

Hmm, I’m in sequence 6 which is past the point mentioned but I will try to stick out this section without eagle vision to see if it’s actually the game itself. Thanks for the info!

Edit: I tried starting a new game, it’s still an issue. Definitely a new thing after the update 🙁

Yup, seems the issue for this is still open.

I have local storage for my photos, then backup to object storage using Borgmatic and Rclone to B2. But you’re right, you can’t directly use object storage with Immich.

Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.

I think you might be right. Others are talking about a rocky start but reading through the recent release notes it seems like a potentially unrelated issue with a release of a new timeline.

I’m really happy to see this post acknowledge speed issues where there are many items, 100k+. I have around this and have always found Immich to be laggy, while others say how it’s the fastest ever.

I will have to give it another go.

I found there were other versions installed via repositories (as opposed to the make file installed version). Tidied all that up, removed everything, restarted, and installed the one from github as per the instructions. Same thing.

I did work out something new, though. It’s specifically when I enable the eagle vision in Assassin’s Creed (Rogue) that it freezes. And it still happened without the controller connected.

My suspicion is that the controller driver thing solved one problem, but there are still more issues that aren’t controller related…

Other potential hints, when playing Hades (the rougelike) the lighting is now messed up, going dark at certain times based on where I’m standing. It was working fine before. This is only in the DirectX version, the Vulkan one works fine.

I have also tried regenerating pre-compiled shaders in steam and have tried using Proton Experimental.

Any other ideas?

Lol I already had that installed as per my OP, but I don’t think I restarted afterwards. Must have had the right version installed but the wrong version loaded, as after restarting I think this is fixed. Thanks for confirming it works for you, it seems to have worked for me too!

Edit: Nevermind, it’s not solved. It’s working for a while, but the game is still crashing eventually 🙁

Thanks, I think I only have one version installed as I should see a second here?

$ dkms status

Ah, from this comment:

Sunscreen works, just not if you buy it from shady manufacturers that try to maximize their profits and care about nothing else.

I thought you were saying "don’t buy knock off brands and you’re safe. When actually you’re saying everyone is cutting corners.

Unfortunately the independent testing here happens infrequently (no more than once a year), and it’s different brands failing each time.

In general, the failing brands are testing as much lower than their stated SPF ratings. As a consumer, the best chance is probably to buy the highest rating you can find so even if it’s lower than stated it’s still pretty good.

In New Zealand we have much the same problem with the sun as Australia (thanks CFCs), and a company here does regular testing of sunscreens. Brands fail to live up to their ratings all the time, including big name brands.

I think versioning is the better option.

are you writing about losing the backUp drive?

No, losing your main version. Imagine you have a computer with syncthing and a server where it syncs to. If you chose no deletions, then it will sync all files to the server but all the stuff you deleted (draft documents, random files, photos from that time your kid held the camera button on your phone down and took 3000 photos in 30 seconds) will be deleted from your computer but still there on your server.

When you computer gets struck by lightning and everything is destroyed but the server is fine, now you have to re-sort out all your files because all the stuff you deleted is still on the server version.

Your suggestion of enabling the option to keep previous versions is probably cleaner. Personally I prefer to keep previous versions and deduplicate to save space.

Yes, if you go with something like syncthing, have it also sync to a server where you run borg backup so you get the incremental backup.
