Reading the article now, but seeing as there have been complaints about compatibility with older games, I thought the sub might find this interesting.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n, b" %command% --launcher-skip

~/fgmod/fgmod ~/lsfg %command%

Would it be like this maybe:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n, b"; ~/fgmod/fgmod ~/lsfg %command% --launcher-skip

i have no clue why this is a thing, but judging by the way that the "feature" is presented i feel like it is somehow intentional

i own this 2021 acer nitro 5 (an515-55-55dw). it has a rtx 3060 laptop and an intel igpu (but it is NOT optimus, even though there is no multiplexer inside the laptop...???)

the specs really are besides the point though, i'm using fedora kde with the open nvidia modules (i'm NOT using nouveau, i'm using the rpmfusion-(free?) package (the license being dual mit/gpl, not "nvidia")) and the game explicitly set to "use dedicated graphics" (this "feature" happens on most games, even super tux) and i spent quite a while trying to troubleshoot the issue and scouring online for breadcrumbs, but nada. i'll drop a video that explain whatever the hell i'm experiencing... (https://youtu.be/HQkQauf6CMs)

i have dropped every single setting to low and loaded an empty world to further emphasize that this is not an "underpowered gpu" issue; for whatever reason frames get limited depending on the window size: if i set it to roughly 1/4th of the screen then it gets limited to the native refresh rate, but if i set it to 1/3 it gets limited to 120, with 1/2 it gets limited to 90 and if i set it to roughly full screen (doesn't have to be full screen, it has to be roughly 1/1.1 to 1/1 the size of the screen) it's set to 60. it's not just a gradual shift, it stairsteps. if i precisely set the window to the 120hz "range" limit and then i increase the size by 1 pixel, the frames drop to 90. i also have tried to change the game's default resolution (the size of the window when the game launches) but nada.

those tests were done with vsync enabled mainly because it represents the current cap (i was recording, frames may be slightly lower). i do not play with vsync, but i can clearly tell that fullscreen is capped at 60hz, not only by the choppiness but also by the input lag, but the gpu can easily smash the 200fps. also, when enabling vsync without manually capping the frames to 60 (or whatever cap there currently is) there's an insane input lag of about half a second (yes, half a second) (this doesn't happen with vsync disabled). i do not have a 360hz monitor, but i'm sure that if i were to try to play with that one with vsync enabled the latency would jump to multiple seconds (the input lag goes down the smaller the window)

i also have tried using the integrated graphics, but they can only push about 20fps (also with that insane input lag issue). i have been encountering this issue since quite a while honestly, but i always thought it was my hardware being trash (which it kinda is) but it works fine without those issues with Microsoft Windows...

idk man, i went online and tried to get to the root cause, but i have no clue why the hell the refresh rate gets limited so randomly. also, to add to the absolutely insanity of the situation, the refresh cap (not the frames that it can do, the refresh cap) increases the more i cover the game with a different window... wtf

i would gladly make a bug report, but since i don't know who the culprit is... yk

I get this when I try to run CS2. Any way to bypass this and play? Edit: my GPU is 860TM.

Looks like the development team toggled EAC to work on Linux, absolute cinema.

Do you like single-player RTS games with a proper narrative to go with it? You may want to keep a close eye on the upcoming Crimson Freedom.

I have quite a few Ubisoft games running on Linux, and they all work fine: Far Cry 6, AC Valhalla, Shadows, etc. But AC Odyssey doesn’t run properly. After the splash screen, a small black window appears, and if I leave it for about half an hour, the game finally starts. The problem is that every loading screen takes around half an hour. Other than that, once I’m in-game, everything runs perfectly until the next loading screen.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m on Ubuntu x11 with the NVIDIA 580 driver and using Steam Proton, testing different versions including Proton SE.

I've noticed that when I launch a game via Faugus launcher, that when I eventually shutdown my system, it can take up to two minutes.

Checking journalctl, I found that it was indeed Faugus:

The game in question is Dead Space Remake via EA Launcher.

It might just be EA Launcher itself, but I wasn't sure. I do know that after I exit the game, it still shows as running in Faugus until I stop it even though the game has stopped.

I have also exited out of Faugus as it doesn't show up in my KDE icon tray anymore, but it looks like it's still there and hasn't stopped completely.

Hey everyone, I am a college student doing a quick survey on gaming with Linux. It’s anonymous and helps me with a research paper. It is very short, and I just need 50 responses.

Thank you!

The EasySMX X05 Pro was sent over for review and after spending weeks with it, this little device nearly turned into a favourite.

After updating to nvidia 580.105.08 I noticed my second display (1080p HDMI) lost its 75hz option, the main monitor (1080p DP) still works fine.

Downgrading to 580.95.05 fixes the issue.

Anyone else ran into the same issue?

Using:
- CPU: i7 8700
- GPU: RTX 2070
- WM: niri (Wayland)
- Distro: Endeavour (Arch)

EDIT: Looks like the issue is known:

I'm Migrating from Windows to Linux, and had gotten a decent way into Linux Mint, though I hadn't started installing Steam or getting my games to work. I've heard that Secureblue is more secure than Mint. I see on their FAQ that you can run Steam, but I didn't see anything about dGPU passthrough (I'm running an nvidia dGPU in my laptop).

Before I go much further, I was wondering if anybody here is using Secureblue for gaming? Specifically with dGPU hardware acceleration?

Thanks!

I'm using Fedora 43 and playing PGA 2K23. It plays fine. However, if I add "gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -- mangohud %command%" to Steam, is displays mangohud but the performance is abysmal to the point of being unplayable. What am I doing wrong?
