And how much memory, RAM + swap you have?

32GB of RAM and idk about SWAP.

Have you tried, clearing cache, of ck3?

Not, where can I find it?

Do you use the proton or native solution?

One way, you should be able to find the PDX folder is by using the launcher, of ck3, it should be in advanced settings of the launcher not game.

14:48:27

Looking into it. Thanks!

Still not worky. :c

Well, after 20 minutes staring at a black screen it loaded lmao.

18:06:44

If it takes this long every single time I am going to cry.

18:12:51

(It gets stuck in the initialising game screen) :D

18:37:12

I even doubled the swap space just in case. (32 -> 64GB)

Jfi no issue here running natively

But I got some changes to the steam fhs unsure if they related

uh... whenever i start warframe (just the launcher, but also happens while in the actual game), audio from other applications (e.g. firefox) becomes crackly. closing warframe (game or launcher) fixes it, except for my microphone audio into discord, which remains crackly, even though capturing it in OBS in this case it seems to sound fine. i'm using wireplumber. i guess my question is, wtf???

02:36:47

only thing that i've found so far that looks vaguely relevant is this in journalctl --user -f:

Apr 18 19:33:56 compy wireplumber[1661]: spa.audioconvert: 0x699ff10: (0 suppressed) out of buffers on port 0 2

02:37:29

also i tried reinstalling warframe (via steam) and it fixed it, but now it's broken again

02:37:52

oh interesting; so i have easyeffects running to make remove mic background noise, and when i trigger the crackly audio and then enable easyeffects' global bypass, the crackle goes away

gamescopeSession.enable = true;
remotePlay.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Remote Play
dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Source Dedicated Server
};
};
})
```

I am not sure what many of those things even are, but at this point, I might try them just out of desperation.

03:27:47

holy crap i fixed it, the problem is that warframe was requesting unreasonably low audio latency and as a result the quantum for my hardware was getting set to 128 (!!!) so running pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 1024 to force it to 1024 (much more reasonable) and now the crackling is gone

03:34:48

will probably have to find a more precise solution to this problem but this at least works for now

Also, does CK3 require proton for crossplay with Windows users too.?
