Per messing around with my Pi the Linux browser (whatever it is called) works fine for day to day stuff and it is sort of fast.
Now comes the inconvenient truth.
this is a site about a game, fortunately 7d2d works with Linux. Many, many, many, many other popular games do not.
If you want to game Windows is pretty much required unless you are doing something weird like nvidia shield or google whatever streaming game service or you are only playing very specific games that work with Linux and have little desire for something different.
More inconvenient truth, other streaming sites may not like Linux as much. Stuff like pause & forward button can be missing.
Perfectly fine to say I don’t need that to the above items. I do need that stuff, moving to Linux would be more effort than benefit. I have zero desire to keep a web browsing, light word processing machine next to a windows machine for everything else. To me that is not a benefit, that is a pain in the ass.
Not sure what flavor of Linux you're running, but any issues with streaming sites are entirely browser related, and have very little to do with the OS. I've had zero issues with any streaming site using Chrome or Firefox.
As for running games, Wine works quite well for most that aren't covered well by Steam's Proton service. And you can run non-Steam games through it also. (link)

Warning: Linux Evangelizing in 3..2..1..
For anyone who is/may/eventually/has to buy a new PC and have Windows on it (like if Windows 11 obsoletes your current system and will not work with it), I would like to suggest that you don’t donate/throw away your old system immediately. As soon as you’re “done with your old PC” *and it’s trash to you*, try installing Ubuntu (it’s free) on it and give it a chance. I suggest Ubuntu only because it has a “simple/normal” installer and should just work. I’m sure some other Linux users would disagree with me
yes, you’re going to feel like ubuntu sucks because it doesn’t look and act exactly like Windows, but just try it out. Browse the web, check your email, install whatever and try to do your “normal stuff”. Just test the waters of not using Windows. Likely you’ll find that there is something you just have to have that’s only Windows compatible, and that’s good because then you can decide if that’s reason enough you need Windows in some future PC purchase.
If nothing else, it might give you reason to keep your old PC and get more life out of it vs throwing it in the trash.
if you’re not “a computer person” or don’t have the time or care to mess with it, sure don’t give it a try. It’s not for everyone but it may open your eyes to exactly what you need/use that’s Windows only and it might save you some money in the future should it be useful to you.note: switching away from Windows is not always a walk on the park because “everyone uses Windows”.
you will no longer be part of the 98+%? of people (who all use Windows) and are likely going to have issues with something (like finding out steam will install, but not all steam games you bought support Linux) hence only attempting to try it out on a junk PC you’re no longer going to use for *anything*. In my opinion Windows is more “user friendly” and more “user resilient” for certain things (like finding how to fix PC problems on the internet) so it’s a good choice to keep Windows for someone already using Windows who doesn’t want to mess around with or learn about computers. Linux is for people who are willing to learn something new for (insert reason).
I found this recently, and it was interesting to read... (though the lack of proper punctuation kills me)
And thinking on it, this part in particular.
"Can you read at a high school level? You will have no issue working and learning Linux."
Most of the issues you might run to are merely a quick Google search away. If you can read and follow basic instructions, it doesn't require an engineering degree to run.

So I downloaded the system checker tool. It says I can't run Win 11.
AFAIK most consumer systems don't ship with TPM modules installed. My motherboard has a location for it, but good luck actually finding the module to plug into it. Everywhere I looked it's out of stock. I seem to recall the same thing when I purchased the board last year.

I just read an article that MS minimum requirements are cpu based. Many rigs with older cpus will be flagged as not being able to run 11. I’m pasting from an article about which cpus that are supported(not sure about the forum rules on posting urls):
Yeah, you can get to it from the link I posted above. They've also updated their docs.

With 19.5 you can't just upgrade. Wipe everything. Then clean install the client. Then install the mod. (Save data should still be fine.)

When will I be able to upgrade to Windows 11 on my Windows 10 device?If your existing Windows 10 PC is running the most current version of Windows 10 and meets the minimum hardware specifications it will be able to upgrade to Windows 11. The upgrade rollout plan is still being finalized, but for most devices already in use today, we expect it to be ready sometime in early 2022. Not all Windows 10 PCs that are eligible to upgrade to Windows 11 will be offered to upgrade at the same time. To see if your PC is eligible to upgrade, download and run the PC Health Check app. Once the upgrade rollout has started, you can check if it is ready for your device by going to Settings/Windows Updates.

To be fair, it's probably going to be close to a year from now before it's even available as a primary/preloaded OS. It's not even openly available to testers yet.

May i ask how you set up a horde base? Mine is usually a house on stilts with a bridge leading to the door for zombies to path up as i either shoot them to death, or manage to get 2 electric fence traps and 1 blade trap.
It's different every time, but usually it's just a centralized structure I can shoot out of, with easy access to jump out and melee. Up until a18, it was usually more like a pill bunker, but the new AI is kind of killing that idea. I get out and in it a lot. I don't enjoy a "safe" base, and don't use much in the way of electronics or turrets for defense outside of the closest base protection to keep them off the supports.

Speed run is not quite for me in this game... I like to enjoy the journey.
Same here. My first day is spent collecting the basics. Stick, Stone, Fiber, Feather, Food, Water. I will kill zeds I come across if I feel I can take them on. Otherwise I will avoid.
By the second day I've got a good stockpile of basic materials, and have usually found a good small ruined house POI to use as a temp base/storage. Then it's nightly runs looting other nearby POI houses for food and resources. Leveling is not a real concern. Having the materials to prepare a base and survive is.
It's not until after I've established an actual non-POI base, and have my horde base set up that I'll worry much about leveling and picking a solid perk tree to follow. As a result, I'm not leveling hugely fast, so the first couple of horde nights are relatively easy. Less resources wasted. Then later I can take on bigger hordes on my terms.

Anything that changes progression.xml is likely to bork your character. Making changes during gameplay is almost guaranteed to reset it. So if you start a game vanilla, then add a mod that changes progression, now you have a reset character. Play for a while with that character, take the mod out, and your character progress is reset again.

960 is low-end these days. I have a 970 and 980 Ti in their boxes behind me, beneath a pair of GTX 1070's in their boxes (along with a high-bandwidth SLI bridge), I run a 2080 Ti, and the 3080 Ti and 3090 are the big-boys now. Your CPU is actually a basic desktop one too, and it only supports up to DDR4 at 2933MHz, according to Intel. Look at the X series, they tend to be overkill.
Why are you trying to set affinity though? Is it not using all your cores by default?
I think it IS using all of his cores, and clocking them up to 70-90% load. By setting affinity he can leave a couple of cores free for other tasks.
Performance-wise, the 960 is just fine. It just lacks the VRAM the client requires. At a guess, it's probably taking him about 40 minutes to make a map with that setup, and he'd rather to other things on the PC instead of doing other things somewhere else.

i9-10850k, 32gb ddr4 3600mh, gtx 960 2gb. (As you need i guess)
Now to continue with the general support question, is there no way to change affinity with the EAC.exe? (Like title says). The issue with the gpu is irrelevant if I'm able to change affinity with the non EAC version, i can change it in the non-EAC version (which your thread says i should specify).
Run the client without EAC to generate your map.

That linked thread is regarding the inability to set CPU Affinity when using EAC.
Map generation will only eat up CPU cycles when you are below the recommended spec GPU.
I would need to test this in a20 to see if there is any difference, but your current issue is most likely a result of a low-end PC. That's something you will have to come to terms with. I'm just making wild guesses though since you did not provide any detailed information.

On this, really not a fan of the rwg maps if we have to change the map. Is KingGen any better in this regard?
Yes It will still have some of the same shortfalls that Nitrogen does due to the shortcuts taken in map generation, but it does offer you a nice level of customization to play with before a20 drops.

From discussions I've had with Alloc, and via my own testing, LiteNetLib optimizes a lot of Unity's network traffic. Disabling it can negatively affect the network performance of the server outside of the difference in pings.

Ok, first thing I notice is that your server hardware is kind of borderline for the number of mods, and settings you have on that server.
Speaking of mods, have you verified that they are all compatible with 19.5? I see a couple are not loading correctly.
As of 19.5 Nitrogen maps are more likely to cause an issue than not. You will want to strongly consider starting a new map.
If the server has the port forwarding configured properly, disable SteamNetworking. I have seen connection issues where the ports are forwarded, and it is enabled to push uPnP protocols to the router.
The player is kicked because they didn't pass Steam authentication checks. The server then gets hung up presumably because their client is still attempting to send data to it. The reason for the failure to authenticate can be a large number of things. Issues with the connection between the client and the server, issues with either the client or the server connecting to Steam servers, and security software blocking the data packets are the most common reasons. Since the port you've chosen for the server is commonly used by trojans to traverse NAT gateways, that last one is a very likely reason.
As for their client, it's scraping the bottom of being capable of playing the Vanilla client. Much less with the number of mods going on there. (If it wasn't a laptop, but a desktop from that same generation, it would probably be alright. It would struggle under much load though. Also note that their system does not at all support their current desktop resolution.) Their mod list also does not match the servers, which could cause additional problems. I'd have to go though the list and check each mod you've got loaded, and I don't have time to spend on that.
As far as their client is concerned, it tries to connect, gets stuck in a little data loop, and then they get disconnected.

I could see replacing gloves with them. That will cost you some armor and associated mods though. I'm also not able to wrap my head around how you would code it to only apply the damage and associated buffs when using attacks without any weapon equipped.
This also wouldn't function any longer with the new gear system that's coming.
I also agree with Lemmers here where it would end up muddying the waters between armor and weapons. Additionally, I am currently unable to think of any game where a claw/fist weapon didn't take the same slot as all the other weapons.

Yeah, one of the primary mods I've written since a12 was the working oven mod. I have plans to write one that requires electricity to function, but never have spare time to work on modding anymore.

Ok, I didn't go through your other mods, because 90% of the time this occurs it's because of Riles mod.
Remove all the mods. Then give it a try. That Ammo stack mod hasn't been updated since a18, and it is not loading properly. There are probably others that haven't been updated too. You have to verify every mod you choose to run is updated to the current version of the client. If it isn't, then don't use it.
Your client isn't throwing any error when they connect, it's just dumping. This could also indicate something external is killing it when they connect. (Usually anti-virus or anti-malware)
If it still crashes like this after removing all the mods and excluding/refreshing the client, check the Windows Event Viewer for critical errors related to the client there.
