Other News about gaming on Linux
This is a repost from R/Hytale but... LINUX SUPPORT BABEH!!!!!
Sober freezing the whole system.
Sober freezes my system completely after 15-30 minutes of gameplay, and this is happening after an update that required me to reinstall the Roblox APK. GPU and CPU temperatures are fine. Any solutions?
I'm using CachyOS, KDE 6.5.4, and Wayland.
PS: I tried limiting Wayland usage using Flatseal, but the problem persists.

Helldivers 2 crashing or freezing my entire desktop
I'm on arch with wayland and gnome but used other distros too and the issue is present everywhere, I've tried other versions of proton including protonge and cachyproton but the game either crashes or freezes my entire desktop either way after 30 minutes of gameplay. Sound continues to play but I have to hard restart each time this happens.
This happened a year ago too but a lot rarely, now I can't even play the game without this happening. I don't see anyone really talking about this on protondb so I'm kinda lost.
Tried getting proton logs but the game freezes and when I closed it it didnt make them, terminal also didnt display anything weird.
Specs:
Distro: Arch
GPU: RX 6700 XT
CPU: i5-11400f
RAM: 32gb DDR4

(Linux) I'm trying to mod BG3, but Mod folders aren't created correctly
Civ 6 runs at 65-70 FPS despite having a RX 9070 XT
So I recently installed Arch Linux (with Hyprland) and Heroic for games. But when playing Civ 6 it only gets about 68-70 FPS no matter the settings. In the Heroic launcher I have set it to use dedicated GPU and also that in Civ 6. What should I do?

MoleTun – a Hamachi alternative that actually works on Linux (LAN gaming over the internet, zero config)
Hello r/linux_gaming
I built MoleTun, a Hamachi alternative designed for Linux that lets LAN-only games work over the internet without port forwarding or manual network configuration.
It creates a virtual LAN so games behave exactly as if everyone is on the same local network.
Works with popular Linux LAN games and emulators, including:
- Minecraft (Java LAN worlds)
- Factorio
- Terraria
- Stardew Valley (LAN / co-op)
- Project Zomboid
- Valheim (LAN mode)
- OpenTTD
- Old Windows PC games running via Proton with LAN support
Emulation / local multiplayer over LAN:
- PPSSPP (PSP local multiplayer)
- Citron / Switch (Eden/Yuzu) local wireless emulation
Technical details:
- Direct P2P mesh networking for low latency
- Automatic NAT traversal (no port forwarding)
- Relay fallback only if P2P fails
- L3 networking (no L2 broadcast hacks)
- Linux and Windows desktop support
- GUI-first, not CLI-only
I built this because LAN gaming on Linux over the internet is still unnecessarily painful, and most existing tools either don’t support Linux properly or rely entirely on centralized relays.
The goal is simple: make LAN multiplayer work reliably on Linux.

Wine Error
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to run a cracked game on my Debian system but Wine gives this following error:
"0134:err:d3d:wined3d_swapchain_resize_buffers Something's still holding back buffer 0 (02FFA238)."
Any idea what this supposed to mean?

Dota2 libpangoft2 no such file in a directory
Arch, i7 3770k, RX570, noob. When I try to go in lobby with bots in game, game crashes and there is
failed to dlopen "libpangoft2-1.0.so" error=libpangoft2-1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I already tried -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache and delete all cache, it doesn't help.
Arch wiki says: Remove libpango-1.0.so and libpangoft2-1.0.so in GAME/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64, but when I remove them and start the game, it crashes and steam starts to validating and download files again. Is somebody know, what should I do (besides delete dota 2 forever)?

Reminder : liquid metal can dry
No wonder why my R5 3600 was hitting 95 °C while gaming...
It's sitting comfortably at around 70°C while running OCCT + PBO maxxed out right now.
But why didn't it happen with my graphic card though ? It's the same liquid metal I used.
