Title says it all basically. Me and my partners play COD, VRChat, Fortnite, Roblox, etc. Any update on the Linux Playability of these games?

I am rather new to the Linux gaming side and especially the VR part and I have been using Windows to use my full body tracking setup but I want to move to Debian completely and this is the only thing missing that I need to figure out.

Does anyone know any alternative for Space Calibrator so I can use my Vive Trackers (2.0) with my Meta Quest 2 on Debian? I am using WiVRn.

Hello so I am trying to get protontricks to work although I have a separate drive just for video games. I am getting this issue:

Steam library folder /media/UserName/Games/SteamLibrary not found. Protontricks might not have access to the directory.

I have installed ProtonTricks via package manager (apt) and not the flatpak version and have tried to use chmod -R 777 [filepath] hoping that opening all access to the folder would help. Although I still am running into the same issue.

TLdr: Can someone please help me give access to my game drive to ProtonTricks installed via Aptitude.

I have an issue with an 8 GB card. ( rtx 3070 ) Performance is insanely different on windows. I can run at high settings on TLOU 2 with 100+ fps, while linux runs on low settings with 60 fps (sometimes the fps drops even lower) and apps crash due to lack of vram. I know 1440p with an 8 gb card isn't really good though and with Discord and chromium open it uses 1.9 GB of vram. Although closing every app doesn't really help with performance.

Specs:
Fedora 43 KDE

Ryzen 7 7700x

32 GB DDR5 6000 mt/s

RTX 3070

1440p monitor

Nvidia open source driver 580.119.02

however i notice games that dont use a lot of vram dont have any performance loss. This is the only game I have with this issue, however other games usually run fine but have the app opening causing a crash issue because running out of vram as well.

Running MX Linux 25 and Unraid 7.2.3

After googling around, seems like using an SMB network share to store games is a no go, right?

I tried a few times with a small-ish game (Unreal Gold) and it seems to only work if the game is on my main system instead of on an SMB share that I have setup in /etc/fstab.

//192.168.0.100/vmdata/Amdy /mnt/Amdy cifs vers=3.0,noserverino,username=user,password=password,noperm,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,_netdev,cache=none,exec 0 0

I tried installing the game, then making the network share the default, then moving the game to this new location. Unreal doesn't launch.

If I move it back to my main .steam directory on my main system, it works again.

Also, if I try to install the game with the network share as a default, I get Disk Write Errors. That's why I tried installing locally, then moving the file to the network share.

I devastated by VRR bug on AMD Linux drivers. As I understand it's been almost a year (according to what I found on the web) and it still hasn't been fixed yet.

I can't play games without it as the input latency is too high in some games with Vsync (Hunt Showdown, Witchfire) and disabling Vsync causes major stutters and screan tearing.

It's so sad cause I started using linux last summer and was really enjoying it with CachyOS, until after this bug occured for me. At first I thought it was a GPU or monitor issue, but it happens each time I disconnect my monitor from the power outlet and only booting into WIndows fixes it until the next monitor disconnect.

That being said, I'm kind of forced to use Windows now because VRR is broken for me in general... My hope that it will be fixed soon is low as I sad it's been almost a year at this point.

My specs: 5700X3D, 9070XT. Distro: CachyOS

Howdy. I use pro proton compatibility thing from Steam to play Fallout. Now, when you mod Fallout, the common practice is to use Mod Organizer 2, which has some sort of virtual environment where the game is running with mods as if you put new files into it, while in reality they are well separated and overwrites are virtually handled by MO2, so installing and uninstalling and changing priorities is non-destructive. Point is, MO2 has to run, then you start Fallout, and MO2 continues running. The problem is MO2 is also a Windows program, so you need to run it via steam library to have it operate on proton. But then when you play the game Steam thinks you are playing Mod Organizer 2, and so all screenshots and stuff goes to Mod Organizer part of steam library. So, is it possible for me to run MO2 with proton but without adding it as a non-steam game? Alternatively, is it possible add it to steam, but to have steam understand that I am currently playing Fallout, not MO2, and save screenshots accordingly?

I have this weird issue, where Cyberpunk will freeze during the loading screen after I run the benchmark. This doesn't always happen but it usually does after 3 tries.

So I run the benchmark, when it's done and wants to go back to the menu, it will freeze during this loading screen. Steam will be unresponsive until I force quit Cyberpunk.

I have tried different proton versions (Proton 10, Proton-GE, Proton-CachyOS SLR). I have tried different kernels (LTS, Standard). I have not tried different Mesa versions but am running the latest one.

I have also seen this happen once with Arc Raiders (loading into a game) and CS2.

I have steam overlay turned off. I have used ChatGPT and dumped many logs into it to figure it out but have not found a resolution.

Funny thing is, I have not seen these issues in Nobara. For the most part the games itself run great. If anyone else is using CachyOS and a 9070XT is able to run these benchmarks just fine, let me know!

Specs: Mesa version: 25.3.3-arch1.4 Vulkan driver: radv OpenGL driver: radeonsi LLVM: 21.1.6 Kernel DRM: 3.61 (kernel 6.12.63-2-cachyos-lts) GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (GFX1201 / RDNA4)

Hi, I not so recently switched to Linux gaming, and have found that my Skyrim mod list just basically does not run properly under Linux. And in my testing, the conclusion I've come to is that the VRAM management on my Nvidia driver is just basically not existant for over-provisioning. So, pretty much as soon as my VRAM fills up and needs more VRAM to load in more textures or whatever, the frame rate takes a nose dive into the dirt. And I'm not entirely sure about what to do to fix this, because I don't have the money to go out and buy a new GPU, because I mean, who does these days? I have a 1660 super and I'm running cachy OS with the bore-lto kernel and I believe the proprietary drivers for nvidia. When I was on Windows, this wasn't really much of a problem. I could run this mod list at 30 FPS without frame generation for the most part in Tamriel. But on Linux with the exact same mod list, I get 5 FPS. And frame generation doesn't work. Granted, I'm still in the process of going through my mod list and chucking out any code mods that are taking a detrimental performance hit to kind of optimize my mod list in the first place as it desperately needs to be done, but I can barely have any kind of texture mods at all installed without my frame rate just dying because of VRAM.

What can I do to mitigate this, if anything at all? other than just buying an AMD GPU because they have a lot better driver support as I don't have the funds for even a used gpu.

I am on Ubuntu and trying to play nightreign.

The map is on pressing the button in the middle as a touchpad. However when i try to press it, the touchpad activates, i turn my character and the maps does not open. Is it possible to disable the touchpad but keep the button active.

I found a few posts on this but have not found a solution that worked for me yet. So far i have tried:

• disabling the touchpad through ubuntu settings. This disables both the touchpad and the button
• writing a udev rule to for the Controller touchpad. This also disables both. It was a pain to find out the Controller name...
• changing the input in steam.

I have not found any other suggestions so i would love it if anyone else has any ides on what i could try. Thanks.

I’ve read a lot about certain brands which produce GPUs, proprietary hardware, or unsupported software which continue to be unsupported or outright hostile about Linux support.

This has posed me to wonder; instead of focusing on the negatives: what are the best Linux friendly brands that have full proper support for their products? I know Linux has so many great and amazing tools to extend hardware otherwise unsupported, but I’m wondering which brands fully endorse their products on Linux by themselves without relying on open source devs to make their products work.

This way, next time I buy hardware, I can vote with my wallet.

The tech I am referring to are gaming mice, keyboards, weird little tools like Elgato stream decks, capture cards and more. Anything that has had a positive experience on Linux and is supported by the actual manufacturers!

Hello all, new linux use here so be patient with me lol. A couple days ago I installed Bazzite for the first time and its great, I tried several different steam games and they all ran equal to or alot better that Win10. I installed Epic Games Launcher through Lutris and the launcher works flawlessly on both Proton GE or Proton Experimental, I downloaded Snowrunner and Hogwarts Legacy and both are issues. Snowrunner before anything even shows up on screen with close back out, and Hogwarts legacy will open a window and sit on a black screen, but if I dont close it back out before it sits for a few minutes it freezes my PC, any tips?

Im currently playing a 1.7.10 minecraft modpack.

Out of nowhere my whole system Starter stuttering, froze about 4 minuets later and then the kernel killed it because of the used memory.

Now i have looked at the memory in btop, the memory leakage is only starting after i joined a server or opened a world, it isnt present in the Main screen, it seamingly isnt related to Java too, since its suroasses my set xmx value and the Java process also doesnt increase in memory usage.

After leaving the world or the server the leackage stops, after closing minecraft the memory stays as used except the ammount used by Java.

It also stays as used after loging out of the session.

It also isnt decreasing after all that and there is no listed process in btop which is using this much memory.

Does anyone know what the fuck is happening here or what i could use to figure things out?

System info:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64; Kernel: Linux 6.18.1-arch-2; CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12400F (12)z; GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050, GPU Driver: 580.119.02; Wayland

Story: I tried playing Lords of the Fallen 2023 on steam, which is been gold on ProtonDB. It doesn't even start up at all. The play button glows blue as if the game was starting, but then it reverts back to green after around 20 seconds. I tried all of the Protons Steam offers, I also tried running it with the different arguments I found people mentioning on ProtonDB. Nothing worked really. I also tried using Lutris with some older Protons. That's it.

Then I stopped working on the issue and uninstalled the game, with having in mind I might return to it in the distant future. Then, something interesting happened. Stick Fight: The Game (Platinum on ProtonDB), had exactly the same issue. It blips for a second as if booting up and then immediatelly shuts down. Not even a window to open up. Here, I wasn't so thorough, I just tried all protons, but nothing happened.

While these two unrelated games have the very same issue and both games work on brother's computer, who also uses Linux (more or less the same config but has AMD graphics instead of NVIDIA). Strangely enough, these are the only two games I observed the issue, other games work fine.

I provide logs for the Stick Fights, I don't want to really bother with redownloading LotF for the logs right now if even the smaller game doesn't work yet.
