Oblivion Remastered is really good.

Zahille7,

Oh man, careful OP doesn’t post a two-page rant proclaiming how they’re emphatically anti-Bethesda

CaptnNMorgan,

I love BGS games. For me, other than Starfield, the only issue with them is the dated graphics and gameplay, but the Oblivion remaster certainly fixes that! If anyone already loves classic oblivion, the ramaster is definitely for you, and if you loved Skyrim, but oblivion was too dated to get into it, the remaster is also for you. Not everyone likes bgs rpgs though

Sketchy’s Contract is really great!

One of the Midnight Club games, by chance?

I wanted to recommend go, but you said single player… there’s always Katago to play against.

I guarantee you’ll never truly ‘beat’ the game!

If you like factory designing games, I can recommend anything by Zachtronics.

They’re all esoteric programming/automation type puzzle games, and they all have their own unique solitaire games built-in for whenever you get tired of the main game.

My personal favourites are SpaceChem - scifi molecule factories - and Opus Magnum - steampunk alchemical molecule factories. Something about the molecules just works for me, don’t know why. Plus the Opus Magnum solitaire game is really unique and fun, and it has a user-made level feature, so you can keep playing.

Last Call BBS is a collection of minigames they made as their final release before shutting up shop, so it’s a lot more casual than the others, but a lot of fun.

The Bioshock games are really fun in a very dark way. They are incredibly unique—I haven’t played anything else quite like them. Personally, I liked the first two better than the third one. The first two take place underwater, which sort of creeped me out from the get-go. The third is in a city in the sky.

Out of curiosity, what’s your install path for the game? Some games don’t cooperate with Program Files or Program Files (x86), so if it’s in there, try installing it to a different location and see if the problem persists.

freaking Bethesda, only had 64 bit windows for 2 decades now -_-

i’ll reinstall to C:/Program Files, and if i’m still having errors when that finishes in a fortnight i’ll update the post

darkdemize,
@darkdemize@sh.itjust.works avatar

Try installing to somewhere besides those. I personally make a C:/Games folder and install everything in there.

moving the game to another drive helped! thanks!

SatanClaus,

Hm I’ll have to try this. Thank you

Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn’t have this problem (especially if it’s the default install directory).

(The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn’t indicate this at all but hey, there’s been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)

darkdemize,
@darkdemize@sh.itjust.works avatar

Could be. I play more older games, so I’ve run into this a few times.

SatanClaus,

I completely uninstalled steam after moving all of my games to a different drive through steams settings. Then installed steam itself into a c:/games folder and then moved back over the games I wanted on my SSD.

No crashes yet 1 hour played of Oblivion remaster

Hey! Are you the OP? Either way, I hope this helped.

SatanClaus,

I’m not. But it did! Lol

Upvoted, I hope someone can help you here. But also a bit of condescending, it’s been solid as a rock for me on linux :D But, seriously hope you figure it out, it’s frustrating having a new game not work

ianhclark510,
@ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

man, I hope someday Gamepass makes its way to Linux, fingers crossed!

Acamon,

It’s working on Linux? Was it straightforward to setup? I’ve given up buying games on steam because of their terrible Linux support, and I’d seen a lot of comments about the steam deck version sucking, so I’d assumed the Linux version wasn’t great. But maybe the deck hardware is the issue?

prole,

Use the Windows version with Proton, it almost always works better.

I’ve been playing Oblivion on Linux through Proton and have had zero issues. Like most games.

Your data on Linux gaming is woefully outdated.

I imagine the Deck hardware is barely up to snuff.

Acamon,

I’m not criticising Linux gaming - I know basically nothing about it. Just my own experience over the last year, where I’ve tried buying and playing a couple of games and had difficulty getting them working, tried different Proton versions etc. But maybe I should be trying the window versions? My question was just innocent curiosity, but looking at my downvoters I’ve obviously touched a nerve!

_cryptagion,

Was it straightforward? What kind of question is that? You click the install button in Steam to set it up. Then you click play when it’s done.

Acamon,

I’m not very experienced with Linux gaming, and the last game I tried (xcom) crashed consistently, and reading forums people were suggesting using certain Proton versions and other stuff. I eventually gave up. I also got uncharted:LOT refunded because I couldn’t get it working in Linux. So if it’s “click install and click play” the great! It is straightfoward.

Beyond selecting a proton version it was no more difficult to set up than any windows game. Deck hardware I’ve heard issues with, but I’m not surprised. The deck is essentially a mid level right from about 8 years ago. The remaster struggles on my 3090. I was finally able to get 60fps after tweaking graphical settings for a while, but none of that was because of Linux.

prole,

Same. No problems whatsoever.

I love gaming on Linux

Slay the spire is really fun and different than what you’ve listed.

It was the first rogue like deck building game. Fantastically done.

Not on steam, but Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is pretty good, and free.

The exception code you are getting appears to indicate some code is trying to execute something very low level (e.g. direct device access) when it isn’t allowed.

This isn’t a widespread issue, so it seems reasonable to assume that it is specific to your machine.

My guesses are:

  • Corrupt game files, try deleting the user data for the game. Not sure where that lives.
  • Corrupt install but I think you’ve addressed that.
  • Corrupt windows, a scan disk check might repair something.
  • Corrupt drivers:
  • Fresh install of GPU drivers, using amd’s tool or ddu.
  • Update chipset drivers if there are any.
  • Disable or uninstall anything that controls additional devices. E.g. led or fan controllers like Armoury crate or MSI afterburner.
  • Any other app that injects itself into the process. Game overlay, antivirus. Amd adrenaline does this, as can steam and gamebar.

All unreal engine games seem to crash like crazy for me right now I’ll have to swap over to my cachyOS install and see how things go lol

That’s bizarre, because all the other Unreal engine games I play (Satisfactory, Crab Champions) work fine
