Linux on ARM for Ayn Thor?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 22:28

As Valve has announced that theyre developing steamos for ARM in the Steam Frame, i was curious if theres already a distro for arm that functions like Bazzite i can out on my thor, and if it has decent dual screen support.

Im very new to linux, as my only real exposure is through the steamdeck.

Radiant Silvergun Upscaling

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 22:25

Based on this, I tried upscaling the Steam version of Radiant Silvergun using dgVoodoo 2.79.3 on Ubuntu, but honestly, I can't really tell the difference myself.

Steam (ubuntu deb package) crashing the whole PC after quitting Inazuma Eleven victory road

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 22:06

Basically the game runs really good but if I quit it from steam, game options or by closing the window, then the game keeps in running status on steam forever and may crash the whole PC.

I manage to workaround this by instead of closing it in the normal way: - go to the system monitor, - search for all the process related to inazuma eleven and - then End all the process together

Ive been playing trails of cold steel, uncharted 4 and borderlands 4 without any issue jaja.

Alternative to Elgato capture card?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 22:02

Hi there,

A while ago I got an Elgato HD60X to use with my Windows PC, and I had been a happy camper, but as I plan to de-Windows once and for all, I've seen various reports online that this card just does not cut it. Does anyone have any recommendations for HD capture cards that are linux-friendly?

My full setup is a retrotink 5X converting various consoles to HDMI. I require 1080p60 and low latency, as I use it for livestreaming, speedrunning, etc.

Does the golden goose exist? :p

Friend has a 2080Ti, and processing vulkan shaders takes a *long* time (e.g. 15+ minutes on games like Baldur's Gate 3). Is this expected?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 21:43

Pretty much as the title says.

He's just installed CachyOS to give it a try, and it takes painfully long for him to launch larger triple A titles because of the vulkan shader processing step, often 10 or 15 minutes of just waiting.

I know that Nvidia isn't always the greatest on Linux, and the 2000 series cards are a bit dated at this point. I expected it to be slower than the RX 9070 XT I'm using myself, but this feels... excessive.

Is processing vulkan shaders just really that brutal on Nibida cards of that age? Or should this really not be taking that long?

PAYDAY 3 won’t launch with Gamescope on

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 21:38

i5-9300H, 8gb ram, rtx2060m

I launch PAYDAY 3 and it just doesn’t open.

My launch parameters:

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1600 -h 900 --prefer-vk-device 10de --adaptive-sync --rt --steam -- ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSL=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_STATE_CACHE=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="nvapi,nvapi64=b" gamemoderun %command% -fileopenlog 2> ~/payday3_gamescope_stderr.log

Mostly I just googled the gamescope settings and I have no idea what any of that mean tbh. All I know is gamemode run, -fileopenlog(for mods) and the parameter for logs.

Logs:

I experimented with launch parameters, up to the point it’s just “gamescope —resolution-and-stuff %command%” and the logs are still the same.

I also added nvidia_drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter as was said in arch wiki, still the same error.

No idea what to do, so any help appreciated

[FIX] Microsoft / Minecraft Login Error on Linux: “Please retry with a different device or other authentication method…”

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 21:22

Hey everyone,

I ran into a super annoying issue while trying to sign in to my Minecraft/Microsoft account on Linux (Arch btw). Every time I tried logging in—whether via the Microsoft account page, Minecraft launcher, or Outlook login—I kept getting this error:

"Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link."

At first, I assumed it was a Linux compatibility problem… but nope.
Turns out the issue is on Microsoft’s side, related to their security system.

This error can be triggered by:

  • Microsoft temporarily blocking your IP, or
  • Microsoft detecting an “unusual sign-in attempt” — which can happen if:
    • You’re using a new device,
    • A new browser,
    • Or a network connection it doesn’t recognize.

Solution 1: Try a Different Network or Device
Before anything else, try:

  • A different Wi-Fi connection
  • Mobile hotspot
  • A device you’ve successfully logged in with before

This alone fixes the issue for many people.

Solution 2: Use Cloudflare WARP (This Worked for Me)
Cloudflare WARP essentially masks/optimizes your network path, which helps bypass the IP or security-trigger issues that cause Microsoft to block the login attempt.

Install WARP on Arch Linux

1. Install from the AUR:

yay -S cloudflare-warp-bin

2. Start and enable the WARP service:

sudo systemctl start warp-svc.service sudo systemctl enable warp-svc.service

3. Register the client:

warp-cli register

or (depends on version):

warp-cli registration new

4. Connect to WARP:

warp-cli connect

After doing this, I was finally able to log into my Microsoft account without errors.

Hope this helps anyone running into the same problem—especially fellow Linux users who think it’s a compatibility issue when it’s really just Microsoft being Microsoft.

Arc Raiders Crackly Audio fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 24. November 2025 - 21:00

Hi I have a decent DAC (iFi Zen v3) running under pipewire and experiencing crackly audio.

I have tried a couple of fixes namely the solution which seems to work everyone but me,
`PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 `, changing the quantum rate under pipewire to avoid buffer underrun. Verified using the command `pw-top`.

You can apply this fix by putting `PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 %command%` in the launch options inside of properties under steam, (or similar options in a different launchers)

This clearly is not my issue because regardless of what I set this value to, it doesn't fix the audio. The only thing that has worked is the game randomly deciding that it will work, with no apparent changes, one day it will run, the next it is a mess.

I've been running my applications under 96kHz, but I've found that dropping the bit rate to 48kHz fixes my issue.

I hope this helps someone in the future.

If anyone might have a shot in the dark or a clarity about what this really does and why it might be working, I'd love to read your comment and maybe develop a better fix. This game works perfectly under 96kHz on Windows. Thanks! ~
