Support / Re: PunkBuster Problem : REWARD 500$

I am running AA on Linux, and while it did have its own hurdles, I never had a PB issue. Well, I did once, but that was because I changed IP address while playing (wifi → ethernet)

OK so this weekend I upgraded to F33. Immediately after that I tested AA on the bigscreen, not expecting it to be fixed (but hoping anyway). The input problem appears to be gone! Only thing left is that the application "hot corner" (top left mouse gesture) interferes, but that can easily be disabled with a Gnome setting.

Just tried to replace the libSDL with a symlink to my distro provided one... It did work but didn't solve the problem unfortunately.

Again basically what happens is I'm running, then I suddenly stop dead in my tracks. I have to release W and then press it again. Happens at least once every 30s.

Maybe you can have a look at the process manager while playing, and see if the process disappears. That would probably mean it crashed. Perhaps you can see something about the crash in the Windows event viewer. eventvwr.msc

Under wine I think I have found a workable solution by the way, although it requires changing my entire list of keybindings. I just need to stop using ALT (which is annoying), so I am using ESDF instead of WASD... and adjusted the rest to kind of fit. Still experimenting with the exact keymap that I find comfortable, but this does work very nicely.

I have to say that I rather have a working native Linux version though, without the input problem  :)

Yeah, I had that problem on Ubuntu as well. You need to switch audio to Pulseaudio in Assist, that solves it.

How would video drivers have any impact on keyboard input though? I can imagine some video problems triggering a codepath or a race condition that causes my keyboard issue, but that would be a rather indirect thing... I just checked armyops-bin with ldd, and it turns out it ships with its own libSDL. I can image that this old thing (v1.2) has trouble communicating with X libraries. Maybe moreso because I'm on Wayland and X libs are there only for compatibility.

Anyway, is it possible to fiddle around with libSDL? Or will I get banned when I try to join a server and it doesn't match?

My workstation @work is Ubuntu 20 LTS. It has an i5-3550 with integrated graphics. Which should be more than adequate for a >15 year old game. Getting consistent 60 FPS here.

On my laptop I've got a 5200U, again integrated graphics. This is probably the weakest system I tried it on, still 60 FPS (maybe drops slightly with full server though).

On my bigscreen at home I have an older i5 (possibly 2400, not sure right now). But that does have discreet graphics, a Radeon HD 6xxx something that's passively cooled. I've run CoD blackops on it in the past with colleagues, worked fine so it should be more than adequate for AA2.5, and of course it is.

Laptop and bigscreen are both fedora.

The lag spikes are probably more to do with network, I was on wifi first... but I also noticed my input problems sometimes when I don't (seem to) have a lagspike. So it might just be very old programming interfaces that aren't very compatible anymore? Don't know, but that wouldn't affect the wine setup. And what happens there is just basically my windows system gets confused when I press ALT, and that causes my mouse input to be broken.

Hi all

I've been trying AA on linux, but the experience has not been great. Wondered if anyone else can share theirs.

I tried the linux client, and that mostly works but whenever I'm hit with a lagspike (which is pretty often), my input stops. I have to release any keyboard buttons I was holding and press them again. Also my mouse position seems to jump, so I have to lift my mouse as well. I've tried fiddling with settings that might have any effect but nothing changed.

Then I tried the windows client under wine, and downloading of assets is very flaky. I eventually got everything downloaded and the game runs. However, when I start running (alt), my window manager seems to pick it up and it basically breaks mouse input. I have to go into AA menus to get it resolved.

Also I cannot change brightness, contrast and gamma (in both setups), but that could be driver related.
