Looking for casual online 1v1 games for easy linux-windows cross play

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 24 Minuten 55 Sekunden

I'd like to play some games with my brother who lives far away. He runs windows.
I've found many options for co-op like factorio and Deep Rock Galactic, but few options for 1v1 competitive. Starcraft 2 works great but is a bit hardcore for my brother. I'd love to play a fighting game.
Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

can't run steam on my potato after updating it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 44 Minuten

first, I apologize for not posting the logs as text, but this pc is so bad it crashes when trying to open reddit.

it used to be able to run steam though, until I updated it yesterday, after a few months without opening it.

the logs make no sense to me, I found nobody with this issue online and trying to use solutions similar issues did nothing to help. I tried opening steam with every method I could find, installed and uninstalled many times and even deleted all steam related files on this pc for a fresh steam installation, but nothing. going on files and searching for stuff mentioned on the logs did nothing to help me as I genuinely could not understand what is going on

Trying to complete the move from Win11 to Fedora but my mouse is getting in the way.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 19 Minuten

Greetings,

I recently dual-booted my gaming PC with an installation of Fedora (GNOME) and so far things have been great, except for my gaming mouse. Compared to my Windows 11 install the sensitivity is way to high and also jitters quite a lot. It's fine in the desktop but is unplayable in shooters such as War Thunder. Has anyone else had this type of behavior?

Mouse: Logitech G502 Wireless Lightspeed

What I've already tried:

  • Disabling mouse acceleration.
  • Downloaded Piper to configure the mouse but I haven't noticed any improvements.

Thanks!

I was wondering about Linux Mint MATE

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 23:34

(Before you tell me just go buy a new PC, I already have) I have an old PC with 2GB of RAM. Obviously windows 10 doesn't seem to work on it (i tried to reset it and it got stuck on 37%) is Linux mint mate enough resource-efficient to install it on it? I want to give it another life.

Diablo IV: fps drops, have to restart game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 22:40

Using Diablo 4 on Steam.

The game works great, stable 60fps on an ultra wide resolution using AMD FSR 1.0.

But lately the fps often drops - usually when I travel to another area. If I restart the game, it's immediately back to stable 60 fps, in the same area.

I've tried changing settings back and forth to force a "reset" and avoid having to restart the game, but nothing I tried seems to work so far to restore the high fps, only quitting and restarting Diablo 4.

Anyone experiencing the same? I think it may have started happening after the latest Diablo update, or a recent Steam update in the last few weeks. I'm also getting a "GPU not supported" popup after the last Diablo update, but I just press OK and the game works perfectly after that. (Well, except for these fps drops.)

Any tips?

Receiving the error in the title when trying to update arch with the cachyos gaming meta installed. Is this something I am doing wrong or is there an issue with the latest proton-cachyos package?

Phantom Mouse movements

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 22:34

I have these weird mouse movements, they come up and jerk the mouse to some other point instantaneously. I have removed the mouse/keyboard dongle, unpaired gsconnect but it still shows up. I also tried using the mouse and keyboard dongle and disabled the touchpad using this command gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'disabled' These phantom mouse movements came back. In nongaming applications this manifests itself by opening the quick settings or expanding to the Activities Menu. What could be causing this?

XBox Controller no longer works even though it used to before

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 22:30

I use a XBox One Controller using Xone as a driver for it under Linux Mint. The Controller uses a dongle. The Controller is recognized by the system and by steam. Going into the controller test in steam it doesn't recognize any of its inputs but it does rumble. The last time I used the Controller was in Linux Mint 21.2. Currently I am using Linux Mint 21.3

Any help is appreciated.

Gaming related reasons you still boot Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 22:04

I've been using Linux for a month now and it's been pretty flawless, other than having to look for an extra step to do the same things I already do on Windows. Hell even using wine on installers is easy. Though some things aren't just possible like the biggest issue with Linux gaming.

  1. Games with shotty anti cheat don't work, like Fortnite

But other than that are there any other things missing from Linux that makes gaming on it feel incomplete and will lead you to just dual boot into Windows? Personally:

  1. Discord screenshare has no audio, let alone support for directly streaming Capture Cards (the forks that add screenshare audio arent that good but its cool people did it)

  2. You cannot host on Parsec, tho I think there's an imperfect work around with Steam Remote Play

How to test an AMD GPU when I've had an Nvidia one installed?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 21:28

Hey I might be purchasing an AMD GPU from FB marketplace as an upgrade to my RTX 3070. He agreed to let me test it in my computer first but I obviously don't want to be bunking around in Linux just to figure out how to test it while he's waiting. Will it boot up and be recognizable by not messing with drivers, or should I prepare a USB boot with a new Linux install that has AMD drivers already? Or is there a way to have both drivers on the system already that won't interfere with each other when it boots up?

Does NTFS3 work for games installed on a Windows drive?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 20:37

I have mounted my Windows drive specifically with the ntfs3 option and tried Crisis Core and AC Odyssey so far. After changing permissions and installing Ubisoft Connect in the Wineprefix everything works splendidly. I will try some other games, but does anyone else know if this works reliably?

Is my i5 3570 ThinkCentre worth upgrading?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18. März 2024 - 19:33

Hi all, I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre with an i5 3570 CPU; 8GB (2x4GB) of ram; and no graphics card. My interest is in older games: Kerbal Space Program, Cities Skyline, Prison Architect. Right now, unsurprisingly, KSP lags at the most simplest of rockets and I haven't even attempted at installing Cities Skyline because I know that needs a dedicated graphics card.

My question: is this rig worth upgrading? I went to my local computer parts store looking to buy a graphics card, maybe 2 or 4 GB--I like these guys, they're pretty honest: they said that for the price, I was better off looking used on facebook marketplace or a reputable seller on ebay than their AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT for $199CAD. They also said that I should avoid NVIDIA because I would have an easier time with drivers. I would like to be able to use 2 monitors. Is it also worth doubling the ram?

I'm also not sure what a good price is for used graphics cards or even what is required to manually install them, though I like to think I'm tech savy enough to follow instructional material to install something. I made sure to buy a full-sized case when I bought this PC, knowing I didn't want to limit myself in size for graphics cards, but now I'm also curious if I need to check the capacity of my PSU. So what range or specs of graphics card should allow me to be able to play these games, and what is the cost range that I should look to pay for that, either new or used?

Thanks in advanced, and let me know if there is more info that I would need to identify to better clarify the situation.
