# Gaming Configuration Context
|
|
|
|
## Technology Overview
|
|
Steam Tinker Launch (STL) provides advanced configuration options for running Windows games on Linux through Steam's Proton compatibility layer. This directory contains configurations, scripts, and documentation for gaming setups.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
### Steam Tinker Launch (STL)
|
|
- **Purpose**: Advanced Proton configuration and game-specific tweaks
|
|
- **Config Location**: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/`
|
|
- **Game Configs**: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/gamecfgs/`
|
|
- **Global Settings**: `~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/global.conf`
|
|
|
|
## Hardware
|
|
|
|
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8C/16T)
|
|
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (16GB VRAM)
|
|
- **Display (primary)**: 2560x1440 @ 120Hz OLED with HDR
|
|
- **Display (secondary)**: 2560x1440 @ 60Hz (no HDR)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Standard Baseline (all games)
|
|
```bash
|
|
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI="1" # Required for GPU detection
|
|
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU="0" # MUST be 0 - do NOT hide GPU
|
|
DXVK_ASYNC="1" # Reduce shader compilation stuttering
|
|
USEGAMEMODERUN="1" # Enable GameMode
|
|
USEMANGOHUD="1" # Performance monitoring
|
|
WAITEDITOR="0" # Skip STL popup - edit configs via Claude Code
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For per-game settings (RT, DLSS, HDR, retro games), see the **steam-game-setup** skill:
|
|
`.claude/skills/steam-game-setup/SKILL.md`
|
|
|
|

|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Management
|
|
- Keep per-game docs in `gaming/<game-name>/`
|
|
- Document hardware-specific settings clearly
|
|
- Test one setting at a time when troubleshooting
|
|
- Backup working configurations before changes
|
|
|
|
### Performance Optimization
|
|
- Start with GE-Proton for best compatibility
|
|
- Enable GameMode for CPU scheduling
|
|
- Use GameScope for resolution/scaling control
|
|
- Monitor GPU usage with MangoHUD
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting Approach
|
|
1. Verify base Proton compatibility
|
|
2. Test without STL modifications first
|
|
3. Add settings incrementally
|
|
4. Document working combinations
|
|
5. Check hardware-specific requirements
|
|
|
|
## DRM-Free Game Archives
|
|
|
|
Backup archives of DRM-free Steam games stored on TrueNAS at `/mnt/truenas/media/Games/`.
|
|
Each game has its own subdirectory with a `.tar.zst` archive and `README.md`.
|
|
|
|
| Game | App ID | Archive Size | Status |
|
|
|------|--------|-------------|--------|
|
|
| Baldur's Gate 3 | 1086940 | 125 GB | DRM-free backup |
|
|
| Factorio | 427520 | 5.1 GB | DRM-free backup |
|
|
| Into the Breach | 590380 | 564 MB | DRM-free backup |
|
|
| RimWorld | 294100 | 458 MB | DRM-free backup |
|
|
| Space Scum Demo | 3777540 | 721 MB | Archived — demo ended |
|
|
| Stackmon | 3729550 | 1.1 GB | Archived — playtest ended |
|
|
| Stardew Valley | 413150 | 643 MB | DRM-free backup |
