Hello.

As the title says, how do I successfully install and play Starcraft 2 in Bottles? I already have Bottles via flatpak installed and also battlenet with Soda-9.0-1 as runner. I was able to login to my account but it's saying "Agent is Asleep... Attempting to wake up Agent" or something along those lines.

Could anyone please help me how to fix this? I've been using Linux for months but this is my very first attempt at trying to play a game here.

I'm utterly desperate; I've been trying ro figure out how to fix this for over 8 hours and nothing seems to work.

I would really appreciate any help.

P.S. I'm afraid I won't use other software other than Bottles to run Windows apps. I need its sandbox feature. Unless of course there is an alternative that sandboxess apps as strong as or even stronger than flatpak.

Hello everyone! I've never used Linux before and I'm thinking of giving it a try. I work during the day and when I get home in the evening, I just play a bit of CS2 and relax. Which distro would you recommend for me? Thanks!

Hello,

I recently got a 9070 XT and play rivals quite a bit. I can't seem to get a straight answer by googling on if FSR4 works on linux yet. It looks like it does, but I can't for the life of me get it to show up as an option. It shows up on my windows boot, so I know it works, but not on bazzite. I'm running Mesa 25.3, proton-cachy (latest), and currently have the following in steam: PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_FSR4_INDICATOR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 FSR4_WATERMARK=1 %command%

Any help would be appreciated!

FATAL ERROR: CAppSystemDict:Unable to load module panoramauiclient (Dependency of application), error 2

Rocking Ubuntu 25.04 with Gnome and 3x monitors. Naturally game is on middle monitor.

I can't quite identify why but it's pretty often the mouse loses focus on the game and lands on another monitor. Naturally I can't do things like fire my gun, move, etc, when this happens.

Get 90FPS regularly, might be performance related, but unsure.

Anyone have any ideas on this one? It does not happen with other games at all.

Hey so as the title says, a few months back I bought the MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI for my computer. I didn't think anything of it at the time in terms of compatibility as it fit all my other needs perfectly. However, I'm only just learning right now that it might not be able to use wifi on linux due to lacking drivers or something like that. Is that true? Does anyone here have a MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI in their PC that knows a workaround if that is the case? Any tips?

Some games won't launch on Garuda 😥

I'm having trouble launching certain games on my PC, I freshly installed Garuda roughly 3x days ago.

So not all games work out of the box, at least in my experience and I'm trying to resolve the issue. I am able to launch and play some games without problem like Cyberpunk 2077 and CS2. But when I try to launch Arc Raiders, Silent Hill f, or Elden Ring, steam will say [Launching] and shortly [Running] and instantly crashing without a window popping up.

Has anyone had any problems with this?

Edit I am trying to launch from a secondary SSD and the filesystem is ext4, not ntfs

Im being gifted an RX 6800 and ryzen 5 7600 so I'm building a PC around it. Should have all my parts by Christmas. The only dilemma is what OS to use...

I've successfully ran arch, Garuda and Debian on several desktops and laptops in the past and would like to continue using linux. Right now all I have is a steam deck and I won't be able to hide away and play my new desktop much because I have a 2 year old and 3 other kids that require attention and might destroy my desktop lol.

I need to be able to stream to my deck. I've already done a few searches but most of what I see are 2-3yr old posts and I'm looking for info on if steam remote play or moonlight is viable these days? If not I might just go with windows for now, sadly.

Thanks for any help!

While my device does seem bad on ltsc windows 10 I avg over 60 fps on most games I play and like over 200 on minecraft so it seems fine

what would be the difference if I used it on a preformance oriented distro like cachyos

I'm new to Linux Mint and while searching online for how to play my games, I discovered the Heroic Game Launcher. Some of them opened normally without any problems (via Proton downloaded in the Heroic app), but Rocket League has the problem shown in the photos; it simply won't open. Is it a problem with the game's settings? Or does my PC just not run it and I need to buy more RAM? I have 8GB of RAM and an integrated graphics card. It's quite basic, but it ran fine on my neighbor's very similar PC.

Hey all, for context i have a 5090/9800x3d running hyprland on arch. I have a gsync 175hz monitor with gsync enabled in the hyprland config. I have the frame limiter set to 170.

The problem I’m having is with the mangohud frame limiter. In most games it works great, no issues, but for some reason in the finals the frame limiter works perfectly in the shooting range, but if I actually get in a game the limiter works sometimes, but other times my fps will go above the limiter, often by a significant margin. When this happens I get bad stuttering. I have tried almost all goverlay options, late/early method, different vsync options, all different launch options, gsync on and off, I am at my wits end. I have a workaround using vkd3d framerate limiter, but the mangohud limiter feels better when it is working properly (could be just in my head, but feels smoother) Also it seems like the future of that frame limiting method is uncertain? Could be wrong though. Also space marine 2 is very choppy when i use the mangohud limiter, but smooth with vkd3d limiter. Is there something I can do to make it work properly? Any help would be huge. Thanks

I got a B580 and the 1650 and their drivers on my Ubuntu 25.04. I can game normally on the 1650, but I cant with the B580. It seems that the 1650 is prohibiting the B580 to be used because when I do prime-select intel I can use the B580, but then I lose the 1650. My HDMI is on the 1650. I am using Lutris to launch my games and I tried both the GPU selection from Lutris as well as the DXVK_DEVICE_FILTER_NAME=Intel environment variable, but I get err: DxvkInstance::createInstance: Failed to create Vulkan instance err: Failed to initialize DXVK.

I opened an issue on DXVK, but we got to the conclusion that the drivers are fighting (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/5334).

What is interesting is that I can use both cards together for AI using Vulkan.

Any ideas on how to get my B580 to game?

HI, im struggling to run fragpunk-game with Phanuel Anti-Cheat, according to protondb game runs fine but when i click play on steam game start to load anticheat thingy and after ~20% it crashes, from log i get errors

107857.971:0090:009c:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\winebth": c0000142

I tried different proton versions, forcing dx11, enable wayland, disabling firewall adn nothing works. googling errors gets me to some old wine forum threads but they make no sense. I assume its anti cheat problem. Im on cachyos KDE. Full log there
