So I installed bazzite 42 nvidia (6.16.4-116.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)) and installed Ubisoft Connect with The Crew Motorfest on steam using Proton 9.0-4. When launching the crew I have Ubisoft launch window and nothing else after that and it doesn’t close. Any idea what I could do to solve that? I have a 3090 and a r6 5600x.

For the life of me it's the ONLY game (except for the bullshit anticheat crap of course) That I can't get running.

I use Bottle with proton 10. Everything runs like a charm. (All battlenet games, all Epic game games), for steam I just use steam.

For this ****** of c***p I get failed to initialise graphics devices, please ensure your pc meets minimum system requirements and your drivers are up to date.

I get this error from the D2 ressurected blz-log.txt file:

I play a lot of old-school, non-widescreen games on my PC, which generally tend to look really bad on my main, 32 inch, 2560x1440 display. I have been wanting a second monitor for a while, just for productivity reason, and decided to find a non-widescreen display, to see if it could solve this issue.

and it has! Games look crisp, clean and clear on the small, 17 inch, 1280x1024 monitor. It's not functionally the best, but it fits my intended purpose flawlessly (also works great as the second screen when emulating 3DS)

outside of it's gaming functionality, it serves it's role as a secondary monitor, for OBS, Wiki's, Chat, whatever I need.

Incredibly pleased with the outcome, the Photo's just don;t give justice to how crisp and clean Dawn of War and KOTOR 1 and 2 look.

Hiya, I've just upgraded to PopOS 24.04 with COSMIC and am slowly setting everything up. I've installed my own custom modpack with this installer https://github.com/cdbbnnyCode/modpack-installer it worked great and I have everything working including shaders except my poor laptop can't handle my high resolution screen so I have to downscale my games. Setting the fullscreen resolution to 1080p in sodium or in the minecraft launcher doesn't seem to work. If you have any ideas I appreciate any help

Introduction and some backstory for context (skip for the issue if you don't find it necessary and wants to help)
Hey, I am trying to make my brother switch to linux and I chose him Linux Mint since is a friendly distribuition for newbies. Almost everything he needs should run just fine with the exception of MH Wilds, he always plays it when he has free time and this is the only thing keeping him on Windows.

Everybody knows MH Wilds is poorly optimized since its launch, thats the reason its considered Silver in ProtonDB.

I am not an expert in Linux myself so please take it into consideration when answering (have made the switch for about 2 months and I have been using Fedora).

The issue itself, PC specs and attemps made

PC Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5500

NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060

16 GB RAM

So basically the game launches and crashes at the end of the "Optimizing Game Data" screen.

I have managed to get past this screen once or twice but it showed CAPCOMs logo then it crashed, I was using Proton Experimental and only the arguments to run REFramework, but after this I was not able to do it again, then I tried:

• ProtonDB tricks (various arguments like "gamemoderun" "VK3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2" and "PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1"
• Installing REFramework
• This guide

It is also worth mentioning that I am familiar with debugging but I have not tried it yet in any proton/wine games.

I appreciate any help :)

Hi, just installed Linux Mint Cinnamon for the first time, moving from Windows 10. I tried to get Warband working yesterday, and validated my steam files 3 times to fix some texture glitches, which seemed to work perfectly, no fuss there. But my constant issue has been the mouse cursor. Ingame it's supposed to look like a spear tip, but it's just been the default mouse, and I really don't know how to fix it or if I even can. It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to humbly ask for your help in spreading the word and signing this petition to get Bandai Namco to add support for Dragon Ball FighterZ on Steam Deck by 2026: https://c.org/dpHSyrfpbQ

We are a small but passionate community, and we're tired of not being able to play with others because of the anti-cheat stuff, which is fully configurable for playing these games, as JoJo's All Star Battle R, Halo Infinite, or Fallguys + other games with Easy Anti-Cheat on Linux demonstrate.

We believe it's only fair that we not be left out...

The petition is on change.org, and the idea is to get a good number of signatures to send it to Bandai so they can see, now that they're going to give this game more life in 2026, that they're leaving a community behind.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼

EdenSpark seemed like a pretty exciting announcement for game developers and the open source community, until you read about the AI generation involved.

It doesn't look like much with some of the simplest pixel art around but Coal LLC is a like a black hole that freezes your life when you hit play.

since windows 10 era came to an end, I'm no way going back to windows 11. however I have been wondering if my laptop can handle gaming on it using linux. since I mostly play marvel rivals, cod.. etc. I did some YouTube search and I found that cachyOS is the best option right now, I have tried nobaraOS before and didn't go well, cuz I have a low bud laptop. with Ryzen 5 3550H cpu and gtx 1650 4gb vram gpu and 16gb of ram. (asus tuf fx505dt). anyone have same specs tried it before?

For context, I’m not new to Linux; I’ve had a secondary laptop with some distro or another on it for as far back as I can remember. However, I’ve never used that for gaming beyond games downloaded from the package manager/software center.

I’ve always used windows for my gaming rig because of easier compatibility. But with windows getting worse and worse as time progresses, and Steam games and compatibility working better with Linux as time goes on, I’ve been heavily considering making the switch.

What I’m worried about is the issues people are reporting with direct x 12 and other various nvidia related issues. The alleged 10-30% performance hit with nvidia is kind of off putting.

I mostly play single player games, most of which tend to not be very taxing. Though, I am fond of some AAA big releases, like Cyberpunk, the new Oblivion, FromSoft games, and so on. I usually kind of avoid single player games that use kernel level anti-cheat on principle, but sometimes make the exception if the game looks really good.

Also, is there an alternative to MSI Afterburner for Linux? Also, processor is a 7800x3d.

Per title. Me and wife share the same PC (Kubuntu 25.04), we each have our own user account but share drives, with the SteamLibrary folder accessible to both users and mounted individually for each. All of a sudden, Steam won't even launch games when I try to launch from my end, but on hers they launch normally.
For example, Deadlock opens and closes. Running steam through the console I get:

This probably has to do with permissions, so if anyone has experience with that it would be extremely helpful. If anyone has a more elegant solution for permission issues, we've been doing a recursive chown every time Steam throws an error, but this time it didn't work, lel.

Someone know a good replecemente for Mudfish on Linux?

I want to change the OS from my desktop from Windows to Linux (Fedora distro) but I almost don't find any information about others programs aside Mudfish.

I tried to use mudfish both on Windows and Steam deck but have problems with the interface configuration cause is not friendly as Exitlag/NoPing and is in Russian :v

Just more information, the game I play is Final Fantasy XIV, from South America is essential to me use a program like Noping/Exitlag to do high end content.
