AppImage for running Project 1999 on linux.

I don't know why your system has a `/etc/apparmor.d/bwrap` file. However, using setcap on bwrap shouldn't be needed as long as apparmor doesn't restrict it from using unprivileged user namespaces and as long as sysctl kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0. But glad that it's finally working.

Also don't trust AI too much or you'll end up with broken system with weird issues.

I can log in, but once I'm in the game, it’s extremely slow. When I try to move, the screen only moves a few millimeters at a time.

During character selection, after logging into the server, I can see that the character—who should be animated—moves very, very slowly.

I got this issue even if I choose to copy the game in RAM, and whatever I choose X11 or Wayland (I use Wayland), and even if I choose a very low resolution (800x600).

Can you try the old version (2025.09.27) again?

[patlefort]

Also, what hardware, nvidia/amd/intel?

In the launcher, in the `Gamescope arguments` option, try adding `--backend=wayland` (without the quotes). I just tested in an intel machine and I get lag and insane tearing until I set the backend to wayland. It might however cause some mouse issues on a multi monitor setup.

It says X socket is already in use, I thought it was because of the way it crashed, but I did a reboot, and run again, but I still have it :

This should output 1:

sysctl -n kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns

In your earlier command, `apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/bwrap` only work until reboot.

Try to remove `/etc/apparmor.d/bwrap`:

sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/bwrap
sudo systemctl reload apparmor.service

Try to run bwrap:

bwrap --dev-bind / / -- echo hello

If it's still blocked, you'll have to figure out what apparmor profile is blocking it.

[veptune]

nicolas@localhost:~$ sysctl -n kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns
1
nicolas@localhost:~$ sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/bwrap
[sudo] password for nicolas:
nicolas@localhost:~$ sudo systemctl reload apparmor.service
nicolas@localhost:~$ bwrap --dev-bind / / -- echo hello
hello


But I still get the same errors :

[gamescope] [Error] wlserver: [xwayland/sockets.c:64] Failed to bind socket @/tmp/.X11-unix/X0: Address already in use
[gamescope] [Error] wlserver: [xwayland/sockets.c:64] Failed to bind socket @/tmp/.X11-unix/X1: Address already in use


When I choose X11 as driver, and do not use the --backend=wayland option, I don't have the address already in use errors and the core dump.

[patlefort]

That's error is normal, it tries different sockets until it find one that work. Does it still crashes with --backend=wayland? I also had some random crashes but I just retry and it work.

[patlefort]

I believe I have tracked the source of the problem and I have a new release that should fix the issue: https://gitlab.com/patlefort/project...ses/2026.03.31

This release also contain a few more changes as listed in the release page. It is also smaller because I no longer need to include 32 bits libraries.
