Sorry - which desktop file, is this 0ad.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications, or another (I can see a PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true line there, but no DRI_PRIME)? Also, could you suggest any specific wrappers, then? Might be good to at least have some starting point.

Actually, yes, with the game started and a scenario loaded, I get a 0% usage for the dGPU from the System Monitor sensor if started from terminal, but not from the Application Launcher after adding the flag suggested above. which 0ad usr/bin/0ad which pyrogenesis usr/bin/pyrogenesis However, when run from terminal, both start the game, but as above - with 0% dGPU usage. If either of these is the "correct" exe to use, what to do, then, so the dGPU is used?

Thanks, that seems to do it. For the sake of completeness, by the way, running from terminal by just "0ad" also seems to work, but not the Plasma launcher link, for some reason. So then, where to look for the executable file - is it the one I see in usr/bin, or another?

Thanks for the replies. If still necessary after what will be written below, please let me know what info you need exactly. Paru from repository (version a27.1-5.1, by the way), it says in the link that "Most data created during the game (such as replays, screenshots, and savegames) is stored in ~/.local/share/0ad/", however there are simply 3 empty folders there currently, namely mods, saves and screenshots, no idea where the executable file should be placed. KDE Plasma version 6.5.3, sdl, if this is what is asked for: And no, no multiple monitors. This seems to about describe it, and I am on Wayland, so I need to change Rendered backend from OpenGL to Vulkan? Silly as may be, how would I do that? Do I still need X11, because if so, I think I need to install it additionally? Thanks.

Hello, On an Arch-based Linux installation (CachyOS) with KDE Plasma, when starting 0 A.D., the game won't open a window - a "task" appears on the panel, audio is played and can be heard, but it is not possible to make the window active and play the game. Also, since I want to add the game to Lutris as native, and it asks for an executable/working directory, where would the game normally be installed to? If there is anything else to consider when adding to Lutris, or if there are instructions anywhere, I would appreciate being pointed to them. Thanks.
