New Proton-CachyOS Manager Question

New Proton-CachyOS Manager Question

I just updated Heroic and I see the new Proton-CachyOS manager. I assume they're downloading the default version of Proton-CachyOS. Is there no way to download the "_v3" versions of these that are made for newer CPUs?

Edit: In case what I'm talking about isn't clear I added these pictures:

DOSBOX and SCUMMVM for GOG Games on Linux Help

I saw on Github that Heroic automatically uses installed versions of scummvm and dosbox to run games from GOG: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-To:-DOSBOX-and-SCUMMVM

But the guide only seems to mention flatpaks. I'm on Fedora trying to use scummvm and dosbox staging and I have all 3 (Heroic, scummvm, and dosbox-staging) installed via .rpm natively. How do I set it up when both Heroic and scummvm/dosbox-staging are installed via .rpm on Fedora?

Also there's a section of the guide for offline installers. Some of the games, like the original Broken Sword 1, are provided only as offline installers from GOG as "extras". But those instructions also seem to be meant for flatpak installs? Or maybe I'm reading that wrong.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Edit: dosbox-staging shows up in my path at /usr/bin/dosbox and scummvm at /usr/bin/scummvm .

Also the information for offline installers mentions the goggame-<GAMEID>.info file, but for example the Broken Sword 1 original installer doesn't include such a file because it is an "extra" game installer included with the main game, the "Director's Cut" of the game. I can launch and play the game using the included scummvm.exe using proton, but I'd like to try playing it using the linux build of scummvm through Heroic.

Edit 2: I tried a different game that I didn't have to install manually using an offline installer, and Heroic seems to have automatically used the newer scummvm version on my system so it seems to work?

So then the issue would be the games like Broken Sword 1 that come as an extra offline installer and don't have a goggame-<GAMEID>.info file?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Missing Cloud Saves Support

I installed the original Clear Sky (Not the Enhanced Edition) from GOG and Heroic Games Launcher says "This game does not support Cloud Saves", but the GOG page says that it does. STALKER SoC supported cloud saves on Heroic, so I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong or something wrong with Heroic Games Launcher and this specific game.

Any chance of including Proton-CachyOS as an option in app?

I recently had to use Proton-CachyOS for the first time to get upgrading FSR 3.1 to 4.1.1 to work and it worked automatically. I installed it using ProtonUp-QT, but it would be nice to have it as an official option in the app so you can also set it up to just use the latest version of Proton-CachyOS like how you can set it up to use the latest version of GE-Proton.

Can't Log in to GOG

I'm on Linux. I was trying to start a GOG game I've been playing, but for some reason the game wouldn't launch. I went into the logs and saw something that may have been related to a GOG account credential error. So I was going to try logging out of my GOG account and logging back in to see if that would fix anything. Well I logged out of my GOG account but I can't log back in. I enter my username and password, it asks for my 2FA code, I enter it, then nothing happens. It takes me back to the accounts login page and the GOG account is not logged in.

I tested logging in on a private window on my browser and it works, so there's nothing wrong with my login credentials.

I did see this week there was a big GOG Galaxy update. Could there have been a change to the GOG API that is causing some issue here?

Edit: I was getting errors related to Python as well, and I just noticed Fedora had some Python updates. I ran an update and after a restart I was able to log in. I'm not sure if it was the update or the PC restart that fixed it.

Backing up games to disc question

I'm backing up my GOG installers to blu rays. I was wondering, for future proofing and best compatibility across any OS (mainly Windows & Linux), is it better to back up the installers themselves, or do you think it's better to extract the contents using something like innoextract and burn the files themselves?

Where can i get soft U shaped silicone nose bridge for glasses?

My glasses came with a nose bridge like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTBD38JG

The silicone tore quickly unfortunately, and I bought a replacement like that Amazon link. However the one from Amazon is a lot stiffer than the one that came with the glasses. I can't find anything online that looks softer, they all look like that one from Amazon.

Changing hostname on Fedora KDE

If i change the static hostname through the terminal, do I need to update the file in /etc/hosts ? If so, how do I add the hostname without messing anything up in the file? I see this in the file:

# Loopback entries; do not change.
# For historical reasons, localhost precedes localhost.localdomain:
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
# See hosts(5) for proper format and other examples:
# 192.168.1.10 foo.example.org foo
# 192.168.1.13 bar.example.org bar

How do I add "new-hostname" for example, to that file properly? Do I just add it to the end of both lines after localhost4.localdomain4 and localhost6.localdomain6? Or get rid of those entries already there?

Dynamic Page Numbering Not Working

I added dynamic page numbering to a 500 page PDF template, and when I download it using PDF for print every page just has the number 1 over and over. On canva itself it correctly shows the numbers incrementing every page. How do I fix this?

Brother Monochrome Laser Printer Always Has Different Margins

I'm using a Brother MFC-L2750DW and the margin settings in the software are all set to 0.17 inches which is the minimum. I'm trying to print this: https://www.inksandpens.com/content/files/paper-templates/US%20Letter%20Graph%205mm.pdf

And every time I print (no scaling, print full size) I get the margin at the top of the page being around 2mm bigger than the bottom margin, and the right side margin being around 2mm bigger than the left side margin.

And then when it's a double sided print like here, the margins on the reverse side are flipped! So the bottom and left are bigger.

What is causing this? A hardware issue or limitation?
