Genshin Impact on Waydroid (for the insane) (ani.social)

Latest Genshin Impact can work on Waydroid if you do some steps first. Bear in mind it is touchscreen only, so theres not much you can do without using a mapper.

Long long ago Genshin Impact stopped working on Waydroid, crashing (freezing) before loading the world. One user posted an issue on the repo, and after some time posted the patches applied for it to work. Seems like Genshin tries to apply optimizations for specific GPUs and doesn't recognize your GPU correctly, so you have to force a vendor internally.

You can clone the github repo and apply the patches to the system image. Or if you trust people on the internet, download the patched images on the same repo.

89°? This image gives me anxiety.

Quite a normal temperature if it is for a Ryzen 7000 series which are known to run quite hot.

That's like a weather widget right, right?! Not like... A CPU temp widget... Oh no

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Bro 89c weather you would look like the park goers in Terminator 2.

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 5 months ago

fairly sure that's wayyyy past boiling

you wouldn't look like that, you'd just be really dead

[-] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 0 points 5 months ago

100C is boiling. Would still kill humans because of overheating, possibly burns as well.

i meant that the terminator freeze-frame mentioned is meant to depict a temperature way past boiling lol. carbon erupts into flame around 300°C iirc

Ugh, genshin. I remember wasting so much time on this

Fucking cancer that still has me poisoned.

Every time I play I think "I should uninstall this garbage, this is not even a game, why am I torturing myself like this?". Then I my addicted brain goes "oh, but there's only x amount of primogems I need to get to try one last time to get this shitty character that is the same as every other one but with 1% bigger numbers. I already wasted so many months on this, I can give up now".

It's amazing how well they domesticated the human brain and that I let myself be controlled like that.

To call this slot machine, talking simulator, lollie masturbator thing a game is an offense to games.

It's been about a year or so since I've played Genshin, but I played it exclusively on Linux through Bottles while a friend of mine played through Heroic and we had no issues. Did something change since then? What would be the benefit of playing it via Waydroid? (Except for testing, of course :P)

[-] OmegaSunkey@ani.social 0 points 5 months ago

Only benefit is ~60gb saved

[-] merci3@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I thought about it too 😁 But it also (presumably) means somewhat inferior graphics. So it's a benefit with some cost if you care about extra polygons
