Can't launch cyberpunk 2077 on Tumbleweed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 8:02pm

Hi,

I can't launch Cyberpunk 2077, and I can't understand why. If I uninstall and install the game, it works, but if I reboot the computer, it won't, so I have to uninstall and install again, which isn't an option.

The error messages I can see in the console are something like:

Adding process 7020 for gameID 1091500 Adding process 7032 for gameID 1091500 ATTENTION: default value of option vk_x11_override_min_image_count overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option vk_x11_override_min_image_count overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option vk_x11_override_min_image_count overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option vk_x11_override_min_image_count overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option vk_x11_override_min_image_count overridden by environment. pid 6936 != 6935, skipping destruction (fork without exec?) Game Recording - game stopped [gameid=1091500]

But I don't know what is going on here. Any clue?

Thanks!!

Shader compilation on each start

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 7:54pm

I'm not sure if I'm right but I feel like the shader cache is cleared everytime I restart my system. For now it's not a big deal since I only play indies for the moment, but when I try to launch a slightly bigger game, it takes between 15 and 30min to compile EVERY SINGLE TIME! Even ori takes like five minutes to compile... Is there a way to stop my system to clear the shader cache ? Or am I wrong and it's something else?

I'm on Arch and KDE

KOTOR 1 only showing black screen after splash screen (Mint 22)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 7:14pm

When I launch the game on Steam, the game will show the usual splash screen but the moment I enter the main menu the screen instantly turns black. The audio works fine, the cursor also works and I can click on the buttons in the menu, pretty much the game runs perfectly fine but the only problem is the screen is completely black so I can't see anything.

Steam doesn't download any file

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 6:55pm

For some reasons steam doesn't download any files, it creates folders but they're all empty, not a single file. Moreover trying to validate all files just tells me that everything is fine even tho literally every file is missing. Same goes with updating my games

I did try clearing m download cache and repairing my library but it didn't fix the issue

Most proton games on steam play at 1-2 fps

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 6:36pm

So no idea what I do wrong here, the hardware is old ok but so are the games.

I try to play games like Defense Grid or NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 or even Flatout Ultimate Carnage that is Deck verified and I barely get any fps.

The system is mint updated, intel i5 3570, 8GB ddt3 ram and a radeon r7 250 1GB

Other games like Silksong and Doom I + II or Trine play just fine (although I think Trine is native).

Please help me with the xbox series controller.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 6:20pm

Hey, right now I can't use them on Bluetooth (see video). I have xpadneo. Ubuntu 25.10.

This drives me crazy, because on the very same PC, some months ago, with the same issue and controller, I had it working by editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf or something. I just can't remember what worked, and it's soo annoying.

Any help appreciated, thanks !

PS: I swear I tried every random solution from other posts, with no success.

The response to s&box from Facepunch going open source has been "overwhelmingly positive"

Gaming on Linux - 3 Dec 2025 - 5:36pm
Open source rocks so it's pleasing to see it go well for Facepunch with s&box. They've now added native Linux binaries for the dedicated server and game client.

A little advice please - new to linux gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 5:05pm

Hello,

I've been stuck on Windows 11 on my latop which is a Lenovo Legion 7i with a 3070ti for some time, and I really don't like it. I've got the chance now to move across wholesale to linux and I'm looking for some advice. I've used Ubuntu server for a long time for development and deployment, so have a good working knowledge of that OS. My question is, I see a lot of posts about using CachyOS as the go to for Linux based gaming but it's based on Arch. Would I see much of a drop in speed / features if I just used Steam via Ubuntu with the proprietary Nvidia drivers rather than trying to learn CachyOS?

Thanks.

GameConqueror - how to find/verify the files are commng from the source (Novice Linux user)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Dec 2025 - 5:04pm

Workin' on then 2nd attempt to make Linux the daily driver. One of the tools I used heavily in single player games was Cheat Engine (Just a memory editor). Now the question is the Linux equivilant. I found a post from 8 years ago, but haven't found a "Yes! This is where it's at, and it's still activly developed/it's stable and has been for X years".

Curious if those in the know could share how we go about doing such.

The (one of) the initial author(s) of this tool appears to be u/12345ieee

As shared in their post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/76bymx/gameconquerorscanmem_cheat_engines_replacement_on/
