I am currently using Arch Linux with Deckify, which installs the gamescope session. I am always changing sessions because I play majorly on a TV and do basic tasks on desktop.

That said, something very strange is happening, and I'll try my best to explain the situation: When I play a game which depends on saving regularly (Persona 5 and Hollow Knight for an example) on deck mode, my save simply goes "back in time" when changing to desktop, and vice-versa. I'll try to create a scenario for better understanding:

- Playing Persona 5 Royal normally on desktop mode, I save the game, then I quit. My most recent save has 12h in it. For the record, I always double-check if the game is saved.

- Hours later, I change to gamescope session. Going to load a save and my most recent save disappears, going back to when I had only 8 hours played. Hence the "back in time" I said earlier.

In all my time as a steam user I've never had this kind of problem. Idk it's a cloud issue, because I'm always enabling and disabling it, but nothing changes. Idk it's a problem with my Arch install, since I've tried another distros with Gamescope session (Bazzite, Nobara and CachyOS handheld) and never had this kind of problem.

Thank you for reading and if any of you got a answer and fix for this problem, I'll be glad asf. Happy holidays, everyone!

I’m having a repeatable issue in Proton games where everything runs smoothly for about 30–40 minutes and then I start getting heavy stutter specifically when moving the mouse. Restarting the game makes it smooth again for another 30–40 minutes.

Seen so far in:

• Warframe
• Dead by Daylight

System:

• Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma, Wayland)
• Kernel: 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
• RAM: 128GB

Mouse:

• Razer Naga V2 Pro

Monitors:

• 2560×1440 144 Hz (primary)
• 2160×3840 60 Hz
• 1920×1080 60 Hz

Proton tested:

• Proton Experimental
• Proton GE

Launch options:

__GL_MaxFrameRate=144 PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=144 MANGOHUD_CONFIG=show_gpu_mem,vram,horizontal,frame_timing,frametime=0,fps_limit=144,position=top-left MANGOHUD=1 gamescope --framerate 144 --prefer-output=DP-2 -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 144 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

Behavior:

• smooth for 30–40 minutes
• after that, mouse movement causes noticeable stutter
• restarting the game clears it temporarily

I’m looking for a fix or known cause for this behavior, while staying on Wayland. Has anyone run into this and resolved it?

Hello. I switched from Windows 11 to Pop OS 24.04 as my first Linux distro, but when I'm trying to run Genshin Impact through the Twintail Launcher, the game boots but it gets stuck on the warning for epilepsy screen. It won't move on. Can someone help? Thank you.

Okay, while I knew that Vulkan had worse performance for my GPU when I used Windows, I never had a need to solve this issue before I installed Linux. I would ask for help on other forums but this one is best I found. If you know better place to make request - please provide me with this information.

Anyway, after being fed up with how many resources eat Windows and understanding that my low-end pc really struggle with games, I chose to install CachyOS. Installation was successful and I didn't have any problems, I couldn't play games because they had productivity issues. My GPU is used 100% but overall productivity several times worse than I had in the same game on Windows.

I use HP Pavilion 15x0xxx laptop with gtx 1050ti mobile. I added additional 16 gb RAM to my 4 gb of RAM to having 20 gb DDR4 RAM overall (I know that this is not the best idea, but my current bottleneck is GPU anyway). My connected to laptop monitor is 2k with 144fps but switching from it to laptop's does nothing or minor performance boost.

I also added SSD where I dual boot but don't think this is important.

Overall performance decrease can be seen in two situations:

1. Game fps is decreased twice as much overall.

2. Game dps is fine but has huge lag spike whenever there are many visual effects at once (It happens in Grim Dawn when I try to use 1080p on 2k monitor).

It is getting really annoying

for those that dont know some people experience this bug with (newer) amd gpus on some games (but afaik not consistent between cases i.e for one helldivers might run fine while for me sometimes it just does this) and the last time i checked nobody was quite sure why it happened or how to reproduce it

Hello,

I bought Enshrouded a few days ago and tried to play. But as many other mentioned, my loading screens takes like forever. Can't start my local game. Only once it worked, but after dying -> loading.

I tried Proton experimental, GE10-27 and 9.0.4. Changed graphic settings...

At the moment I use cosmic and pop os 24.04. 16gb ram, ryzen 7 2700x and RX580 with 8gb.

If necessary I would change distribution. Is there somebody who can play the game. What is the proton version and Linux distro. Or any other ideas? Thank you in advance.

so i know that mangohud is installed and works but i cant get the overlay because i tested it with a command (i dont excactly remember what it was) mangohud vkube or smth like that and the spinning cube showed up but no data of any sort if its even supposed to have any on it

also the data doesnt show up in goverlay either BUT it shows all the data i want in mangojuice?!?!!?!??! Do i let mangojuice make the file and could that be it?

i setupped my config file in GOverlay and my steam is native aswell as mangohud if im not entirely mistaken

Will FSR 4.0 be supported on Linux? If so, possibly when?

Hey there!

My laptop is running Pop Os 22.04, and I'm trying to remote play my Windows PC running Battlefield 6 over the internet.

Thing is, whenever I click "Connect" from the Steam library, I see a window pop up on my primary screen for not even half a second and it closes immediately. The "Connect" icon on my Steam Library goes from green to a blue "Stop" for a couple of seconds and then it switches back to "Connect", as if the remote play client was instantly crashing.

Thing is, randomly it will actually work and run, but when it does so my mouse cursor isn't being locked to my secondary monitor, which makes playing a FPS completely impossible as I keep clicking on my browser when I try to aim or shoot...

Do you have any idea what could be going on here ? (I'm running Steam flatpack if that's of any relevance)

Thanks a lot !!

How long should the installation script take to run? I let it run for 10, 15, and 20 minutes. I tried to shut down the dxsetup.exe process, but it didn’t help. I’m using Ubuntu 24.

Proton is having issues with my steel series mouse, from what I’ve read I might need to decrease the pulling rate? Dunno how to do that, help! (Video attatched shows issue, problem occurs with overwatch as well)

I don't want to use vsync because it adds input lag, I want the game to use freesync from my TV. In monitor settings I can see refresh rate says adaptive but there is clearly screen tearing so it's not working properly. Is there any command line or anything in steam to force using either freesync or HDMI's VRR?
