    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Cannot install software in Windows11

    Hi SANJAYKRISHNA J,

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



    It sounds like you are currently having problems that cannot install software in Windows11.Sorry for the inconvenience.



    Is it possible to install the software normally on the Microsoft Store? Did the problem of couldn't install software issue occur after updating to Windows 11?

    As for your problem, you can try the following solutions to see if they can solve your problem:



    1.It may be caused by Windows Installer not running effectively, please try the following steps:

    1) Enter "services" in the search box and open it.

    2) Find "Windows Installer", if it is "stopped", right click on "Windows Installer" and select "Start".

    3) Find cmd.exe in the Windows/system32/ directory, and then right-click to "Run as administrator" .

    4) Type "regsvr32 msi.dll" and press Enter. If it prompts "DllRegisterServer has succeeded in msi.dll", it‘s done.

    2. Disable or uninstall third-party security software and perform a clean boot to eliminate third-party software interference.

    Please check here for details:How to perform a clean boot in Windows (microsoft.com)

    3. Try the repair command to repair system files.

    Type CMD in the search box,select the "Command Prompt" and "Run as administrator".Type the following commands in sequence and press Enter:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    sfc /scannow

    Then restart the computer.

    Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem. These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get you back on track.





    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.



    Best Regards,
