I play some games on my hard drive, but it's getting too slow, and I want to move the shader caches to my SSD. So my hard drive can focus on the game. How can I do this in Lutris?

Basically title, the "Tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows" settings does nothing, nor do the window rules for allowing tearing. I have tried `KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1` but this causes KWin initialization to fail (`GL_INVALID_OPERATION`, etc.).

What I don't understand is that most advice online seems to imply this is strictly an NVIDIA + Wayland issue, but the `immediate = on` window rules in Hyprland worked perfectly, so surely there's a way to make this work in KDE? I'm on Linux kernel 6.18.7 with NVIDIA driver 580.126.09 FWIW, have also tried with Linux kernel 6.12. RTX 3080, Plasma 6.5.5.

i'm using wine 11.1 on arch linux and an XBOX ONE controller

i've spent the entire day trying to make this stop, but i can't and i couldn't find anything on the internet.

i tried messing with xinput, directInput, etc. but nothing worked, it just made it worse to the point of the controller not even working on wine anymore. i was able to make the controller be detected again, but this ghost input on the "up" button is still there.

another weird thing is that this is happening to multiple sonic fan games
(sonic 3 AIR, Sonic Robo Blast 2 and Sonic Galactic)

(don't mind the windows 7 theme, i'm using arch)

The game detects my microphone and testing it works, but when put into the game, no one can hear me and I get the message "Failed to detect microphone". And I know it says its working the bottom left with the speaker interacting, but it doesn't actually work, as no one can hear me both in a party or, whenever it lights up for prox chat, in the game. I could just work with this and play on windows, but a lot of my games are on linux now. I'm also using Proton Hotfix and with launch options:

PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 STEAMDECK=1 %command%

Help?

Edit: My microphone works in other games with people hearing me, but not in arc raiders. I am using nobara and have nvidia graphics card.

So i want to dual boot but i have only one internal drive and i don t want to partition it because i ve heard windows might delete your boot loader.
So i want to buy an external drive to run windows on it to play league with my friends

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent the last few days diving into CS2 optimizations on Fedora 43 Kde. For my pc specs I have a Ryzen 7 9800x3d with 32gb ddr5 cl36 and a Rtx 3080 10gb. I have played cs for 10ish years with decent ranking and Im pretty sensitive to inconsistant frames and stutters.

The Results:

• Windows 11: 698.2 AVG / 225.2 P1 Lows
• Linux:670.8 AVG / 193.4 P1 Lows
• Linux After optimization: 777.1 AVG / 350.7 P1 Lows

Here is the complete breakdown of the tweaks used:

Gamescope

Start by installing a package called gamescope from your distributions package manager.

The Launch Options

You must edit the launch options with your in-game resolution and your own monitors resolution and refresh rate. Put these launch options after editing the to your monitors. This example is for my setup of playing 4:3 1280x960 stretched on a 1920x1080 390 hz screen

gamescope -f -g --force-grab-cursor -w 1280 -h 960 -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 360 -S stretch -- taskset -c 0-7 env __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=10737418240 gamemoderun %command% -vulkan +fps_max 0

If you are running native resolution you can use this. This doesn't have the stretched resolution specific tweaks.

gamescope -- env __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=10737418240 gamemoderun %command% -vulkan +fps_max 0 NVIDIA specific tweaks

Edit sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

Copy and paste this at the end

options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1" options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

After exiting and saving you must regenerate your initramfs and reboot your system.

This puts your nvidia drivers to performance mode and memory handling.

Wayland Settings

Edit the settings in your screen

• Legacy Applications (X11): Set to Apply scaling themselves. Makes so games/cs2 doesnt interfere with gamescopes functions.
• Screen Tearing: Enable Allow in fullscreen windows. (Disables waylands V-Sync)

Summary

The combination of Vulkan and Gamescope makes cs2 feel much more responsive and improved 1% lows. I don't see why these tweaks wont help with other games also. Hope this helps someone else trying to min-max their hardware! If there are some mistakes I made or tweaks not mentioned here let me know.

Edit:

I should also add that I used this benchmark map for the test results https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3240880604

I just did some tests with cachyos and windows 11 ghost spectre latest edition and OH BOY cachy os is practically same in performance in every game I’ve tested (Helldivers 2, ARC Raiders, SWJ:S, Total War Warhammer 3 (proton). Even with dlss/framegen (latest version override) and raytracin. Cyberpunk 2077 works fine as well (but havent tested it on windows yet). My specs are RTX 5070ti, 9700x, 32 gb cl32/6000MHz, and I am shocked how well things are on Nvidia front. And I have used a RX9070, yeah there are some bugs here and there on Nvidia card, yet I wouldn’t say radeon is better on Linux at this point.

Trying to play Banshee, a FNAF fan game, it displays text weirdly. For example in the DOS section characters are offset (image 1), or during a task in the main part of the game the text is rotated making it impossible to read, and all across the game, lines often overlap.

I'm running the game on Lutris with ProtonGE, and my distro is Arch Linux with the CachyOS kernel. my laptop's specs: ThinkPad L14 G2 - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650 - RAM: 8GB DDR4 - Kernel: 6.18.8-3-cachyos - GPU: AMD iGPU

I know the game is based on Clickteam Fusion and that may be the cause of the problems.

To fix this problem I tried switching Proton/Wine versions I used, restarting the system and upgrading packages, but nothing worked.

Does anybody know what I could try to fix it?

Here's a link to the game on Gamejolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/banshee/853429

I was playing resident evil 4 on windows. I was getting around 100 fps. After switching to cachy os I am getting 30-40fps. I have tried it on multiple proton versions including protonGE. I am using kde. The game is installed on a reformatted ext4 ssd. And i have the latest nvidia drivers installed. If anyone knows a solution that would be great!

Specs:

Hi everyone,

I have an Rog Ally X handheld and an Acer 27-inch monitor. In Bazzite Gaming Mode the external display doesn’t work, but in Desktop Mode it does. Can anyone help? This hasn't worked: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#how-do-i-specify-the-correct-monitor-for-gaming-mode-to-use-htpc-only

Now that we have the absurd situation that the latest AMD and intel x86-64 APUs got so expensive due to the very complex architecture and other factors, many people consider to buy a Mac Book Air M4 for about only 750$ in comparison.

I want to know how well the Asahi distro runs on Apple m series and also how the experience is with Windows games with moltenvk and other tools. Can Fex or Box64 run on these devices?

What is your experience and do you think Apple missed a big opportunity by sticking to metal instead of supporting Vulkan for better compatibility? Are there any plans from Apple to deliver a better gaming experience? Would it be possible in theory to run Nintendo games on apple devices?

I downlaoded both the games from online-fix.me on my nobara linux So i have a laptop with amd ryzen 5 6600H amd rtx 3050 6gb and 16gb ram I used to play the same game on same laptop on windows 11 and it worked perfectly bit when i installed them on nobara i was unable to hear any audio from both the games and i was unable to ineteract with npcs. It was like i clicked bytton to interact the dialogue box qould apear for a split second and then close automatically these are the only issue i face in game specifically and everything else works fine. I do not face any other issue in any of the other games. I tried checking if my audio drivers had issue but they worked perfectly for other applications I tried disabling steam input but issue did not resolve I would like to have guidance regarding this and a solution to it. Thank you.

I tried a bunch of launch options, disabled the background shader compilation, switched to proton experimental, but no help. the game was functional on windows last I played (during season 2), so I'm really stumped as to what's happening. would really appreciate the help in figuring this out

Im using linux mint cinnamon 22 and a Nvidia GPU and I was playing and older game through Steam(game is sims 3) however the game doesn’t have an fps limit so its constantly running at 4000+ fps which makes my CPU get really hot and i can barely play.The in-game fps limit doesn’t work so I installed a mod which was supposed to be able to limit fps however that didn’t work either I tried using DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60%command% on Steam

and that also didn’t work.I really need help how do i set an fps limit for the game?

CPU and GPU if it matters:ryzen 9600x and 5060Ti.

I would really appreciate some help!

hello,

i'm into linux gaming quite a while now and almost everything is working great for me. but one thing i just don't get working properly: the dpi of windows windows.
for example wit protproton i open "winecfg" via the gui and there i change the dpi under "graphics". but it does not apply. the next time i open a laucher or some other not-fullscreen window it is really tiny and almost impossible to read. and with that comes that the mouse curser is super tiny aswell.
somebody has a solution for that?
