Hytale Issues

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 39 Minuten

Hey,

I've run into a problem I can't fix and nobody else seems to be having the same issue.

The game worked great for about a week then whenever I try to play the game I get this error "Couldn't find matching GLX visual"

Ubuntu 22, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 1660

I have tried a heap of different drivers, purging the nvidia software, reinstalled the game 4 times. Nothing :( Same error

Finally, it's done! Gaming PC replacing the PS5, to play on the couch!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 7 Stunden 33 Minuten

Big thanks to the community here for help!

I've been wanting to build my own rig for years now. I was always hesitant as console gaming was good enough. In retrospect, I did not realize how much the high cost per game (+ insane subscription fees) actually limited me.

Initially, I wanted to have a wall mounted PC, something along the lines of a Thermaltake Core P3. But I am very sensitive to noise, so I figured I'd go with fish tank one (bequiet Lightbase 500 FX).

Would have loved to go for an AM5 build, but the prices are just insane. Beyond that, even if I wanted to spend the money, there are so many scammers out there that surely I would have lost at least a few 100 dinero to them. A platform for used goods here in Germany (kleinanzeigen) sent me daily emails that the guy I had reached out to for their listed DDR5 RAM the day before was suspected to be a scammer and their account was now being removed. Crazy.

Anyway, the final build:

  • Ryzen 7 5800X
  • 32 GB Trident RAM
  • 512GB NVME + 1TB SSD (need to upgrade soon. Guess that's the "downside" of cheap steam games)
  • RX 9060 XT

Overall, I'm super happy. But the first week or so after building I almost regretted it all. Wanting to game on the couch, I just could not figure out a good way to get the games on the TV. Steamlink was laggy af. Sunshine+Moonlight worked, but my main screen being 21:10, the streamed picture was awful. Was gonna try the dummy dongle next, but since both the PC and TV are in the same room, I simply use the long HDMI cable I already run between the two for Sunday NFL streaming. Et Voila!
All that was left was a little script that quickly switches the main display between my ultrawide and my TV, setting the proper resolution, HDR, and the right audio sink in the process. Was a tiny pain to get it all lined up but now it works like a charm!
Then there was the noise issue. The fans drove me nuts. But now I have lowered everything enough to be near inaudible, while the CPU stays between 50-70°C, even with KCD2. Funny enough, TopSpin2k seems to run the CPU temp up more than KCD2.

And oh what joy is steam! I must have gotten like 10 games for around 120 dinero, all on sale. Can barely get 2 games for that money on a console.

So again, thanks to all who commented and helped with my previous posts on the matter. I've listed my PS5 for sale, and the money will buy me a steamdeck (or Legion Go S Z1e) for travels.

Steam launch options disable FSR 4 (Cyberpunk 2077)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 16 Minuten

Hey there,

I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR4 and ProtonGE for a while now without any issues using the following parameters: PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command% Rencelty I started getting a bit fed up about the launcher when starting the game and noticed I could skip it so I used this command: PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command% --launcher-skip

The problem now is that as soon as I set --launcher-skip, first it reset my Graphics settings (fine..) but also there is no way for me then to use FSR4, the option disappear and I'm just left off with "FSR 3.1" instead. Why having --launcher-skip deactivate FSR4 ?

Is there something I can do or should I just keep the launcher at startup ?

Thanks!

Gaming in Linux vs Windows. whats the performance diffrence?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 27 Minuten

I can't stand windows, its the bane of my existance, but I have to have windows on 1 drive for BF6, so if I can't go fully Linux right now im thinking of sticking to windows.

But im curious, Bazite vs Windows, is there a performance difference? Given Steam uses Proton, which is essentially a Windows emulation layer, so whats the real diffrence?

I had a hard time getting stuff to work on bazite last time I tried, wondering if its worth a second go.

Why does windows basically only use .exe or .msi but Linux has so many different types of "executables" ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 10 Stunden 4 Minuten

I see flatpack, appimage, snap, deb, and various others and I never know if that means I can run it on my system (as a new user).

How is there seemingly so much fragmentation with simply being able to run a program on Linux distributions?

And why does it seem like there are always people arguing for one being better than another rather than everyone making a single type of executable that everyone can run?

I say all this knowing almost nothing about the topic and just trying to learn, so maybe even what I'm saying isn't true, but it's just what I'm observing as an outsider trying to understand.

Trying to switch from Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 12 Stunden 35 Minuten

Games are the only thing that hold me back - and when I saw that Arc Raiders works on Linux, I knew this was the right moment.

Being a Linux noob, I thought Linux Mint would be the best choice but I had a couple of driver issues with my 5090, a Linux nerd friend helped me through it. We had to disable secure boot to gain time.

And now... I still have 140+ FPS on Arc Raiders, but it feels like it is running at 60 FPS or less.

I have three monitors; my main one is a 1440p 280 hz, another 1440p but 60hz, and a 1080p 60 hz.

What would your advices be? I'm fine to change the distro, I initially wanted something closer to debian/ubuntu to stay familiar with the occasional commands (but maybe this is another "noob sentence")

Thanks for your help!

What proton version is best for source engine games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 14 Stunden 4 Minuten

Switched to Cachy recently and have had a few problems with Source games either not launching, running on the igpu or having a lot of graphic issues and crashes.

No more room in hell, CS S, Fist Full of Frags have all been problematic. All launching through Steam.

Anything I can do to improve things? System is a laptop with a 3050ti if that makes a difference.

Steam recording not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 15 Stunden 19 Minuten

I just switched my computer over to Mint cinnamon, got Steam and Skyrim SE running through MO2 (using the NaK installer method), but Steam won't record anything, not even a blank file. Everything was working fine on Windows; how are you guys getting Steam recording to work?? (And before anyone asks why I want to use it, because it's the easiest way for me.) TIA

My hacking RPG is finally out! (And my social deduction one is free!)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. Januar 2026 - 23:28

Hello everyone!

My hacking RPG "Untrusted: Hackers at Large" (which I've shared development updates on this subreddit over the past few months) is now available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2508150/

"Hackers at Large" is a prequel to the original game, a multiplayer social deduction game set in the same universe: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1502660/Untrusted/

It's free for the next 72 hours! I hope you enjoy it!

Both have - of course - a native linux build. In fact, they've both been developed on linux :3

If you have any questions about the release or development, they're always welcome! Thanks to everyone for the feedback and support I've received in previous posts!
