Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 12:35am

I moved to Linux jut about 1 week ago and I want to play this game, Is one of my favorites, but when I try to install it I can not put the CD Key in.

Like I can, but the first space does not allow me to put the last letter (Let’s say that the first part of the key goes like IFFKL, well I can not put that final "L" in it). Any Ideas? I tried to put a virtual desktop and everything but there was no luck.

[Question] Has anyone tried to use Legion Go Gen. 2 controllers on a Gen. 1 Legion Go with Bazzite

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 11:32pm

I’m bringing this up because I recently bought a pair of the more ergonomic Legion Go 2 controllers and ran into an issue when using them with the original Legion Go.

When I connect the controllers, the gyroscope stays permanently enabled, causing the mouse cursor to constantly drift or “fly” around—this happens in games, in Gamescope, and even on the desktop.

I’ve tried disabling the gyro via the terminal, but none of the fixes seem to persist. After a reboot or certain inputs, the settings revert and the issue comes back. Has anyone else experienced this or found a permanent solution?

Has anyone managed to fix this issue?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 11:07pm

I can't login to PlayStation in order to connect to my Epic Games account. I tried every browser available and the problem still persists. I have no issue when log in on my phone (except Firefox), but the moment I power up Bazzite and Heroic Games Launcher it can't connect to Sony servers.

Kyber Battlefront 2 Linux compatibility

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 11:04pm

Was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it up and running. Couldn’t find anything online so I’m asking here. Have attempted running it through Lutris but to no avail, haven’t tried it through steam yet so I’ll update you guys if that ends up working.

Bloodlines 2 won't launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 10:54pm

Hey!

So I'm having an issue with Bloodlines 2 not launching, at least 9 out of 10 times. If it does it runs good on a low-medium settings. My PC is old, i7 4790, 16 Gb RAM GTX 1070. I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed. My nvidia driver is 580.119,02.
If I put -dx11 in launch options of steam it launches everytime without a problem, but runs like 20 FPS slower, stutters a lot and have artifacts.

I've searched a lot but couldn't find a solution. Is there any to this problem?

Thank You!

How well do modded games run on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 10:54pm

I've been thinking about making the jump to Linux, but have wondered how well modding works. Specifically wabbajack mod lists. I know its possible, but how much does the performance differ? (Example: Lorerim/Loreout) (I have a 5080 GPU)

Minecraft lags

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 9:14pm

So, I have this problem. I play Minecraft on my laptop a lot, but I my rendering seems to process on my CPU only. My GPU is not used at all. This problem causes me to have 40 FPS on the lowest graphics possible. How can I generally redirect the rendering process to my gpu? Thank you

Steam, ea and ubisoft

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Dec 2025 - 8:05pm

Hi everyone, so recently got a linux distro to work on my pc without crashing or freezing. So I got a few of my games to work on steam that has not been published by ea or ubisoft but I actually do have games from those publishers which I really like and want to play. So I have heard of lutris (honestly very much trash) I tried installing ubisoft connect and ea app on there but no luck. A few google clicks later and cursing at my pc screen read about portproton, great I got ubisoft connect and ea app to install without problems. Now steam tries to reinstall ea app still figuring out why. It doesn't get to far because the installer says unexpected error has occurred. Really frustrating because I am want to get one of the need for speed games to launch. Can someone tell me what I should do?
