MO2 in SteamTinkerLauncher suddenly stopped launching

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 18:38

I tried to run play Fallout New Vegas with some mods on my laptop with Linux Mint xfce 22.2. I managed to install SteamTinkerLauncher and then MO2 through it and it worked... until today.
Currently when I click on Mod Organizer 2 button absolutely nothing happens.
Does someone know what might be the problem, how to fix this and explain it to me using simple words and step-by-step?
Trying to run games on Linux is so confusing to me and trying to mod them on Linux is even more so :c

Gaming on Linux "sucks"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 17:58

Why all the haters? Why so many posts about gaming sucking on Linux? I've been gaming on a self-built tower running Linux for years (Steam) and most everything works just fine.

PSA: Mesa 25.3.1 currently breaks SteamVR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 17:35

Seems like people are already aware on Github and Gitlab and it is being worked on. If you use SteamVR on Linux, you might want to skip 25.3.1.

I downgraded to 25.2.7 and got it working again that way.

Why do people keep insisting on installing steamos on regular hardware?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 17:22

I was reading the article I linked, and the writer is confused about steamos performing worse on regular hardware when steamos is a tailored operating system, designed for a specific set of hardware. So of course it wouldnt perform as well on hardware it's not designed or intented to be ran on.

A guide for turning novices to power users

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 17:22

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback regarding common launcher options and manual wine prefix educational contents I received on earlier posts.

The major concern was that an average gamer would always prefer a quick solution, over investing time to learn the foundations of Linux. That motivated me to build Snippet platform

A question could be asked like this. To answer the question, you must contribute a paragraph, called snippet, to the wiki, then cite the snippet in the question. Answers to other questions may cite the same snippet.

A snippet may cite other snippets as well. For example, Snippet 20 cites snippet 22, transitioning to more foundational ideas.

A collection of snippets is a wiki like this.

A beginner linux gamer is going to probably look for quick solutions in questions, then progressively navigate through cited snippets to gain more foundational understanding.

The project is open-source and CC 4.0 licensed. If the community's feedback was positive, I may use AT Proto or Solid so that data is not owned by a centralized authority.

I am looking forward to your feedback!

Radeon 9000 users, how can we use FSR Redstone that launched today ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 17:15

On Windows, we could use the AMD Adrenaline app right ? FSR Redstone seems to work with any game that can use FSR 3.1. But I don't use Windows anymore and there is no AMD Adrenaline app on Linux. Do I have to wait for a game to support it ?

PC Shutdown when opening a 3D game on Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 16:39

Specifically with 3D games on steam my PC is shutting down in a weird way and I can tell mainly by this two symptons:
- The motherboard lights stay on, even with ErP mode on S4+S5, that makes all light shut down when the PC is shutdown normally
- If I don't remove the plug for 5-10 seconds after this weird shutdown, PC does not turn on again

Some troubleshooting I have made:
- Check temperatures when opening the game, everything is normal. Also tried running furmark and prime95 together and nothing happened
- No big errors found with "journalctl -b -1 -r"
- After logging the game with "PROTON_LOG=1 %command%" the only errors are some windows DLL
- Found out that if I open some lighter 2D games before opening the 3D game, it runs normally

Games that are considered "light" for my PC:
- Vampire Survivors
- Disco Elysium
- FEZ
- Hades
- Rain World
- Hollow Knight

Games that shutdown the PC if opened first:
- Half Sword demo
- PEAK
- RV There Yet?

Specs:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.17.9-arch1-1
Shell: bash 5.3.8
Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1080
DE: Plasma 6.5.4
WM: KWin
Theme: Breeze [GTK2/3]
Icons: breeze [GTK2/3]
Terminal: konsole
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 4.654GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Memory: 16GB 3200Mhz
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500W

Is there something that I missed checking or should I just blame the hardware and go on with my life?

Is the fsr4 fallback for rdna2/3 in proton ge or has that not been integrated from that one branch the valve dev made?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 14:49

I don't mind using mods etc to replace dlss with fsr4 for my PC but if I can just have every game that already has fsr4 and especially future ones just run with whatever the newest protonge is at the time and use fsr4 on my older card that way it would be easier.....

Dev Update: The Unreal Editor on Linux was crashing so much it was hurting the game. I'm moving to a "Dev on Windows, Test on Linux" workflow.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. Dezember 2025 - 14:48

Quick update on Austraoxe.

As much as I prefer my Ubuntu daily driver, the Unreal Editor instability was making it impossible to work efficiently. I was spending more time debugging the engine than debugging my game.

To ensure I can actually deliver this game, I'm switching to Windows for the heavy lifting (level design/lighting).

My Promise to Linux Users:
This does not mean Linux becomes an afterthought. I am setting up a strict testing loop:

  1. Build on Windows.
  2. Immediately boot into Linux to playtest.
  3. If it doesn't run on Linux, it doesn't ship.

I'd rather use a stable OS to build a stable Linux port than use a Linux OS to build a broken game.
