Awesome video, I am on Windows right now, but I will test asap.

Thanks you all. The troubleshooting step by step in the video made me run wow perfectly with as much fps as I run under windows. Thanks a lot. 😃

Soultrigger Wine (or is it bnet) I can't remember which, doesn't like running games from NTFS drives, it only likes ext4. Just a known bug.

      Justin They are mostly working, just HotS, Hearthstone and W3:Reforged beta that are crashing once I hit the play button/launch then. I got a bit better and could not install anything, just use lutris install script, but point it for my already installed battle.net app and launching all games from it. I had to reinstall Solus though, because I installed all the DEs as explained in the help center, then I removed everything letting only budgie and tryed to reinstall lightdm, when I rebooted I couldn't login, so I had to reinstall since as a noob I would't know how to fix it.

      At least, now I can learn Linux as I wanted. I didn't log in windows since I got it working haha.

          Soultrigger Good to hear you got it working, I've re-installed Solus so many times it's not a number any more. But I learnt each time from my mistakes. Just remember your backups and any mistake is easy to learn from. 😁

            @Justin That has not gone well, in fact, I need help fixing a subsequent issue as a result of attempting to do it myself.
            watched several how-to videos on youtube, none addressed the issue i was having. Searching the Solus Forums, i found an post about DRI3, thinking it might help, i used nano to create the file, and upon reboot, only see the Solus login in blue letters in top-left. After logging in, i attempted to remove that specific file from the Konsole/Terminal, which has failed to produce positive results. the OS is not accessible past what I have described.

            Any instructions? And, TY guys for being great!

              @Justin Sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

              contained this:
              Section "Device"
              Identifier "Intel Graphics"
              Driver "intel"
              Option "DRI" "3" # DRI3 is now default
              Option "TearFree" "true"
              Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # default
              Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" # fallback
              EndSection

              I honestly do not know if i miss-spelled the name of the file, as i attempted to remove it from the "konsole/Terminal" input i found when loggin into the system in upper-left blue letters.
              i don't yet know how to search that individual folder for it's contents, and to remove that file. Also, I may have accidentally removed "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

                catfishsushi I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, did you create one before to fix something?

                As for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf did you succeed in removing it when you logged in to the TTY?

                  @Justin yes, i created the file in an attempt to remedy/correct an after watching many youtube videos on how to fix most common issues with Lutris not working correctly. One of the issue flags was about a DIR3 not being present, so, searching the forums, i found how to create the file, and based on the success of the Poster's positive responses, made the file and rebooted......to a TTY.....so, any tips on how to get the contents of the /etc/X11 file in TTY and look for the offending file and possibly replace any correct one(s) i may have deleted by accident?

                    so you still have only a TTY on boot?
                    -> login

                    • cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (-> cd = change directory)
                    • now that you are in your xorg.conf.d directory type ls to list the content of the directory. You should see your
                      20-intel.conf file
                      you can just use nano again to edit the file. Looking at your content, i thing there can only be one line for Option "AccelMethod". Two lines, one with option sna and another with option uxa doesn't seem right.

                    But first, i would remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if exist). Or maybe just rename it to 20-intel.conf.bak / xorg.conf.bak first

                    renaming on TTY can be done via the mv command, so it would be:
                    sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf.bak for example

                    If both, 20-intel.conf and xorg.conf are renamed, you should reboot (sudo reboot) and get to a GUI again.

                    By the way, the TAB key is your friend on TTY for auto-completion. Just type the first letters of a folder/file and the TAB key auto-completes - misspelling is no problem anymore 😁

                      Just to let you know, as I said HotS, HS, and W3:Reforged were crashing once you run those. The fix was quite simple, on lutris, right click and go for winetricks and then add/install dll and install: d3dcompíler_47.dll and d3dx11_42.dll. All those games will stop crashing and run on dxvk/esync without issues.

                      @[deleted] Thank you kind one! Information will be tried out ASAP. BTW, what does the "bak" stand for?
                      @Soultrigger I have noted/written down the info and I will try that quickly!. I was thinking Lutris was having issues due to a possible me not configuring it correctly, having 3 monitors and the program not knowing which one to be on. Sad thing: i paid for FF-XIV on BOTH Steam & SquareEnix....ouch.... 🙁

                        catfishsushi bak is short for backup. it's a common convention for saving a backup of a file such that a script looking for *.conf files won't find something ending in .conf.bak 😀

                            @[deleted] That worked! Thanks! i now have my Primary Drive back in operation.
                            @Soultrigger I tried adding those files, but still not working. It either starts up and shows 1280 x 760 box with the FF-XIV Logo, and does nothing, or crashes outright.
