Star Citizen's Linux Users Group Helper Script

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/LUG

Greetings, fellow Penguin!

This script is designed to help you manage and optimize Star Citizen on Linux.

Zenity menus are used for a GUI experience with a fallback to terminal-based menus where Zenity is unavailable. The game directory paths provided by the user on first run are saved in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/starcitizen-lug.

Options:

Manage Lutris Runners

• Quickly install and delete Lutris wine runners

Delete my Star Citizen USER folder and preserve my keybinds

• The helper will make backups of any exported keybinds, delete your Star Citizen USER folder, then restore your keybind files.
• To export your keybinds from within the game, go to:
  • Options->Keybindings->Control Profiles->Save Control Settings
• To re-import your keybinds from within the game, select them from the list:
  • Options->Keybindings->Control Profiles

Check vm.max_map_count for optimal performance

• We recommend setting this to at least 16777216 to give the game access to sufficient memory.
• The helper will offer to set it for you or show you the commands to do it yourself.

Check my open file descriptors limit

• We recommend setting the hard open files limit to at least 524288.
• The helper will offer to set it for you and try to auto-detect the correct method to do so.
• It is able to update either /etc/systemd/system.conf or /etc/security/limits.conf

Delete my shaders only

• Sometimes all you need to do between major version updates is delete your shaders directory.

Delete my DXVK cache

• A troubleshooting step that sometimes helps fix various issues and crashes.

Get a random Penguin's Star Citizen referral code

• Display a referral code for a random member of the Star Citizen Linux Users Group.

Switch the helper between LIVE and PTU

• Toggle between targeting LIVE or PTU for all of the above options. Defaults to LIVE on each run.
