Roblox mouse issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Nov 2025 - 5:34am

So I'm trying to play Roblox on my Linux laptop and I installed sober and ran Roblox, the controls work fine and the game looks fine, but the touchpad mouse is buggy, I used the shift lock so I can look around but I can't move while doing so, on top of that when shift lock is active the cursor is such to the middle of the screen and is weirdly glitching.

Anyone have this issue or know a fix?

Jeff Geerling got hands-on. Nice little video. Puzzled he doesn’t get the same results as Meredith who gets 120 FPS Cyberpunk 2077. We will figure it out. https://youtu.be/4Vox48HG_7w

What Windows version should I dual-boot with linux to play steam demos?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Nov 2025 - 3:24am

Linux has been good so far. However, since I enjoy playing a lot of upcoming game demos, which usually are only supported by Windows, I want to go back and get Windows and do a dual boot on my laptop. (Yes, I know installing the OS's in separate hard disks is better, but I can't really do that on a laptop.)

I know there's been a bunch of news surrounding EOL of Windows 10, but I haven't really kept up with it so I'm not sure what would be best to install. Windows 11? I've heard there's also the Windows 10 LTSC?

What would be best if my main use case for the windows partition is to play games?

Note: Before switching to Linux, my laptop ran Windows 11.

Octopath 0 demo crashing on mint 22.2 cinnamon

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Nov 2025 - 2:54am

I'm trying to play the new Octopath Traveler 0 demo, but it keeps giving me a fatal crash on boot. I assume it has something to do with unreal engine but I don't really think I have anything to go on right now.
I tried
- Using Wayland
- Forcing Proton
- Disabling Steam Input
None of them worked, so I'm at a loss. Anything would help, thanks. Attached picture is all it's giving me.

can't really run any games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Nov 2025 - 1:16am

I'm new to linux, I'm trying to move away from windows. I'm using mint cinnamon and I tried downloading and running monster hunter world and elden ring nightreign, none of them works. MHW gets to the capcom screen on proton 9 and then crashes and nightreign just closes after the anti cheat screen. I'm really lost on what to do, I don't wanna go back to windows, but I am getting a bit tired.

Is anyone else having trouble playing Dispatch?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13 Nov 2025 - 1:04am

I'm not sure if its my OS (I am on Ubuntu) or my computer specs but Dispatch runs terribly on my PC and I don't know what it is. Can anyone let me know if they have had similar problems or if they know a fix? All feedback is appreciated.

Why can't we emulate a windows kernel for Kernel-level-ac

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Nov 2025 - 11:57pm

There are tools like wine, winboat and virtual box that translate or even emulate operating systems or add some kind of translation layer.

Why haven't we achieved the simulation of the kernel, so games like league or bf6 can be run on Linux machines?

Steam's Promise of Every Steam Game Compatibility on Steam OS / Linux. AC Support?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Nov 2025 - 11:33pm

How do we feel about Steam saying you can play your whole Steam Library on Steam OS? To me it sounds like a follow up to their promise of talking to game developers for Anti Cheat support on linux.

Of course I could just be completely misreading this statement as something more than it is. But, with the new Linux market bump from the Steam Machine, I feel companies may be pressured by players or potentially dwindling numbers.

What do we think? All in all, another W for linux I'd say

Black Myth Wukong (Benchmark) DLSS frame gen bug + solution

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Nov 2025 - 10:47pm

Hello everyone! I had a bug while running the Black Myth Wukong benchmark on my Lenovo Legion pro 5 using PoP! Os 22.

The bug was that I could not enable DLSS frame generation because it said "You have to enable hardware acceleration in system options". I tried different proton launch commands and they did not work, then I solved it this way:

"Hardware acceleration in system options""is a windows thing. So as I had experience using ProtonTricks to do small modifications to proton, I used ProtonTricks.

So, my set up is all flatpaks for: Steam AND ProtonTricks. I opened protontricks-Black myth Wukong benchmark. Then "Select the default Wineprefix"-"RunRegedit". From here you go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.

Then there in a real windows would be "GraphicsDrivers". There is not, so we right click control-New-Key and name it "GraphicsDrivers". Getting "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers".

Right click Graphics drivers-New DWORD. Set its value to "2" and its name to "HwSchMode".

By doing that I could run the Black Myth Wukong benchmark WITH DLSS + Frame gen.

I noticed that doing this removed some artifacts in the water that I saw with FSR + Frame gen, but there were some artifacts in the grass. FPS went from 40 to 60 on average doing this (Very high + Full Raytracing=Low). Finally, I don't know if this works for the normal game as I don't own it.

Cheers!

Low FPS in Guild Wars 2 on Fedora 43

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12 Nov 2025 - 10:42pm

Hey, I have a problem that I've noticed when playing Guild Wars 2 on Fedora 43 KDE. I'm experiencing a massive, persistent FPS loss in the game. I haven't had this problem with other complex games so far.

Previously, under Windows 10, I had 70-80 FPS in Gw2 with the highest graphics settings. And now I'm experiencing 15-25 FPS with 35 at peaks.

I'm using the Steam version of gw2 with Proton-GE-Latest. Wayland and X11 make no difference for me (except that Gw2 doesn't flicker when launched under X11). I use the following start parameters: gamemoderun %command% -provider Portal -autologin

I tried DXVK_ASYNC=1, but that didn't seem to help.

Perhaps the proprietary drivers did not install correctly? In that case:

glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer” OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070/PCIe/SSE2 vulkaninfo | grep “deviceName” deviceName = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

How can I get closer to finding out what is causing this? Or what would I need to optimize? Could it have something to do with creating Vulkan shaders? They are rebuilt via Steam before each game start, which takes a few minutes each time. Do you have any ideas?

Also my system settings:
