Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 12:48pm

Anybody gave it a shot? There were rumours that they would activate linux support in the anti-cheat for full release. Did someone try it out yet?

the proton log:
https://hastebin.com/share/efuxujiren.ruby

What I've tried so far:
Different proton versions, including latest GE (10-25)
Launching with various options, like WINED3D and -dx11
Tried pretty much anything that https://www.protondb.com/app/1805480 outlined

I can't pinpoint what is wrong in the log, as I searched almost every warn and fixme online.
All other games I own work just fine. I suspected it's something to do with Unreal Engine 4, or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, although an UE3 game was running just fine.

Anything else I should test for to get more info? Appreciate any help.

Installing Forza Horizon 5 through the Xbox app on Bazzite?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 9:17am

Is there any way that this is possible? I don't want to have to buy the entire game again on Steam, and also probably lose all my data. I quit using Windows 11 since an update completely screwed over my computer, but I was previously using the Xbox app to install Forza 5, since I already owned it on Xbox. Any way to do this?

Game not starting via Proton, Error "wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c000012f"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 9:16am

Hello,

I am fairly new to Linux gaming. Sorry if this a stupid question, but I know no one that could otherwise help me.

While some games start and work very smooth, I recently tried to play "Deep Rock Galactic", which gave me the Error "wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c000012f" via the console. I tried many Proton versions and running DX11/DX12 but to no avail.
According to "apt update" all packages are up to date.
The game is rated "Platinum" on ProtonDB with many users quoting it to work out of the box.

This is the whole terminal message:

https://pastebin.com/h3gqb7pi

I use Kubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) x86_64, have a recent AMD Graphics card and use Steam/Proton for games. The game is on the Linux ext4 formatted main drive.

ChatGPT told me to start Steam via "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" which lead to new errors, me installing some packages via apt, and then other errors but ultimatively i think this is a meaningless sidequest.

I know that there is an app called "winetricks" but I am not sure if it will help me, as I never installed wine but only Steam.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I game on CachyOS (Linux) with an RTX 4060 OC and I’m getting great performance, but I wanted to know what Windows users are actually getting with the same GPU at 1440p.

TLOU 2 Freezes if not in a windowed screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 7:44am

Just like the title. I'm using Proton Experimental. Tried every other Proton there is, even ProtonGE.

The game runs flawlessly in windowed mode, the only mode is that it is a small portion of my window. If I try to set it to fullscreen or exclusive fullscreen it freezes. If I try to increase the window size my dragging the corner of the window, it freezes, and funny detail: sometimes it crashes my GPU, so I have to hard restart my PC.

There is no log because there is not a crash, it only freezes forever, stuck in the last frame of the game.

Can someone help me?

I noticed a new option, "Enable gamescope browser composer", in the Developer section of Steam's settings - anyone know what that's about?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 7:07am

Launch steam with the CLI option -dev and you'll find the section in the Settings menu.

I'm just curious if anyone has any context for what Valve's planning there.

Switch to AMD worth it and Nvidia 12VHPWR worries?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 6:27am

I've been playing on Linux, Bazzite, for over two weeks now, and I'm loving it! :D I've heard here and there that Nvidia performs worse compared to an AMD GPU on Linux. Of course, I have no idea if this is the case and 'how much worse' my RTX 4090 is compared to the current top dog from AMD, the RX 9070XT under Linux - or at all..

It sounds, and perhaps is, silly, but is it "worth it" to switch? I have had no problems with my 4090 until now, but I'm a bit worried about Nvidia's brilliant idea of the 12VHPWR cable more and more for some reason. I know the RX 9070XT is no 4K card (which is my resolution on my TV until I purchased a 1440p Monitor) and in that area, AMD has nothing to compete.

Can anyone say anything about this? Or perhaps, has anyone got/bought a Switch and can tell a bit about it?

moving steam games seamlessly between devices

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 5:21am

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/valve-recommends-sharing-your-game-library-on-sd-card-between-steam-deck-steam-frame-and-steam-machine/

sounds like a great feature, install games on removable storage and switch them seamlessly between devices!

going to assume this works with proton too but does it need the same account or would family sharing be ok?

Oh yeah, we should be able to use custom boot vids for the Steam Machine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 5:10am

"For those unaware, if you have a video file in the right resolution and format, SteamOS allows you to use it as a boot screen—it can be anything you choose. And naturally, people have already got to work on boot screens tailored to the upcoming Steam Machine." - PC Gamer

What are good controllers for gaming on Linux (strictly upstream kernel support)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16 Nov 2025 - 4:19am

I don't want to deal with Xbox's lack of upstream kernel support and side-installing Xone driver, or other similar issues for different vendors. I just want to vote with my wallet for first-class Linux kernel support.

Are there any good wireless controllers, preferably non-bluetooth (2.4GHz dongle is just more reliable), which have support in upstream mainline kernel? I know the new Steam Controller is coming but I don't want to wait for it. And I want controller to work without Steam Input as I do have a bunch of games outside of steam (eg: GOG and EGS through Heroic Game Launcher).

Nicer features like gyro, hall effect thumb sticks, adaptive triggers would be nice. Specifically gyro -- I've never used gyro myself -- is gyro good for Linux gaming ?
