  • Feral game benchmarks stop

    Hello, I can launch many of the feral games from steam and they work fine.
    But if I use phoronix-test-suite there is often a popup warning like "unsupported linux distro" or "unsupported cpu governor" etc.
    The automated benchmark can't seem to cope with the popup window so it breaks the benchmark run.

    example games: madmax, shadow of tombraider, thrones of brittania

    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

    Are you running on Ubuntu? And Steam installed to default paths? Otherwise your mileage may vary. Unfortunately a mess automating many Steam-based game benchmarks and so I only focus on the environments where I test with that they work,. outside of that the Steam tests may experience oddities but patches welcome.

      No, I just installed slackware 15.0 on some new hardware.
      steam is in the default ~/.steam

      I just did a test of 15 available games, only 6 work.

      pts/thronesofbritannia
      pts/hitman
      pts/madmax
      pts/shadowofthetombraider
      pts/riseofthetombraider
      pts/l4d2
      pts/dota2
      pts/unigine-super
      pts/coh2
      pts/csgo
      pts/gravitymark
      pts/insurgency
      pts/supertuxkart
      pts/warsow
      pts/xplane11

      ones that work:
      pts/riseofthetombraider
      pts/l4d2 (vulkan is 1/10th speed of opengl)
      pts/hitman
      pts/supertuxkart
      pts/unigine-super
      pts/gravitymark (raytracing crashes driver/X)

      I was just trying to cobble together a few tests for my new setup.
      Most all these games work on their own.

        I'm pretty sure there is a way to disable the popup warnings on many of these games. That warning seems to be responsible for breaking most these game benchmarks.
        I think i've done it before to make the benchmarks work. If I figure it out again i'll share, something like add "1" to a file in their dirs.

          Ok, It seems I have to edit the specifications.xml for each game individually to disable the distro checks and cpu governor checks.

          <value name="SkipDriverWarnings" type="integer">1</value>
          <value name="SkipOSWarnings" type="integer"> 1 </value>
          ...
          <ignore_if_set>SkipOSWarnings</ignore_if_set>
          <ignore_if_set>SkipDriverWarnings</ignore_if_set>

          I noticed on your older 1.0.0 https://github.com/phoronix-test-sui...0.0/install.sh
          you have most that kinda stuff, but it's changed a bit.

          Is the preferences.template.xml not used at all ? or only used during the install ?

            It is used but when the game changes its version of the preferences file or other factors, it sometimes gets reset around those skips behavior.

              I think the demo file for pts/dota2 is broken with new dota2 updates.

              btw, thanks for taking the time. I've managed to get pts/shadowofthetombraider working
