The LUG Helper is a tool that automatically installs Star Citizen on Linux, and helps players update and maintain their game experience.

• New Maintenance option to launch wine configuration tool
• New Maintenance option to configure sticks and controllers
• New option to update DXVK for native Wine installs
• Fixed menu sizing for current Gnome/KDE versions
• Improved install progress messages

So I was asked if my head tracking approach of reading the IMU data from my Viture Pro to OpenTrack and SBS (side-by-side) mode with ReShade would also work with StarCitizen.

Guess it does 🤷

Pick your poison to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWUC2Y3TRh4 / https://makertube.net/w/8L7gVN8NnLvjhQCPGNmd6W

I start Star Citizen via Lutris (and not with Steam), which requires slightly different settings once ReShade is installed:

Enable Gamescope: ON Output Resolution: "3840x1080" Game Resolution: "3840x2160" (set this also ingame!) Custom Settings: "--scaler stretch"

Can this get you banned? Who knows 🤷 Jury is still out on this. Do I care? Nope. I won’t miss my puny starter pack.

YMMV.

The proof of concept code to read the IMU data can be found at https://github.com/bekopharm/xr_to_opentrack (pending changes).

It works with the Breezy GNOME xr_driver: https://github.com/wheaney/breezy-desktop (but the Vulkan one works probably too but that’s untested). It should also be compatible with other glasses that have IMU for Breezy available.

There is an unlisted SBS version of this video linked in the description. You will need XR glasses that do FULL SBS though to watch it!

Some personal notes ..

Lyria Jumptown OM3 to OM2 until 225km Then turn about 30° left and down

Caliope Jumptown Raven`s Roost OM2 to OM4 until 320km Then turn right and point to Rayali Kaltak Research Outpost Fly to surface, search right of it

Bounty missions very often lead to POIs. Be it a cave or a crashsite, an NPC transport or other hidden places, labs and so on.

Hey, there is a problem over the last weeks, preventing wine to work with StarCitizen. When using it, we get an error message like this: 0024:err:environ:run_wineboot failed to start wineboot c00000e5

Its about compilation modes and a stack alignment issue with 32/64 bit SSE registers.

Searching for the issue, brings us to WineHQ, were a bug is already filed here:

Multiple applications fail to run if Wine is compiled with CFLAGS="-march=znver4"

In the end, it turned out to be a gcc bug. Zeb has filed a bugreport at the gcc bugzilla, to follow up, because it seems, we can not build wine with standard compilation modes anymore, until this is solved. Watch it here:

[12/13/14 Regression] i686-w64-mingw32 with -mavx512f generates AVX instructions without stack alignment

Just to let you know, when you run into the c00000e5 issue, it may be this.

Cheers, raw^^

Since something seems to be misbehaving with subscription, just throwing this quick test over to see if it's just a subscription issue

Edit: Was a configuration issue, wasn't routing json requests correctly.
