Gamescope and In-Game UI Elements Misaligned (CachyOS)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 22 Minuten

Hey folks. I am running CachyOS with RTX 5080. I am noticing misaligned UI elements both in-game and in Gamescope, especially with the Steam loading logo. Other small UI are also misaligned at times.

I am running Gamescope at 1440p/120hz.

Is there a fix for this? The game itself is fine and I don't notice any misalignments in the image, just some UI elements. Doesn't happen with all games or all UI/HUD elements.

I noticed the same with Bazzite. Guess its an NVIDIA and Gamescope issue? Hoping there is a fix.

Me and my son gave up Windows, because Linux is better at Windows games.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 36 Minuten

I'm not much of a gamer, but I've been helping my son with getting his Windows games to run under Windows, but it has simply become too much of a head ache and they constantly crash.

My son didn't want to switch to Linux, because of it's reputation. I have been running Nobara Linux for almost a year, because it's a better desktop system for me and told him, ok, I can try to reinstall Windows again, but first I install Linux and you try that, then when you say you don't like it we install Windows.

Now, I just have to make you understand that under Windows his favorite games were crashing multiple times every time he was playing, it was a big frustration, we tried Windows 10 and Windows 11 (which is even worse).

Now he has been trying Nobara for a week and not one single crash in any of the games he plays, C&C Generals Zero Hour, Empire Total War, Cities Skyline and others. The best part is that I don't have to help him all the time, he just goes to steam, installs and runs, like I did in the old days.

I'm fairly good at technical stuff and I understand that Linux is still not for everyone, but the gap is narrowing fast between Linux and Windows, thanks to Microsoft.

Switch to Linux or stay on Windows?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 55 Minuten

this might have been asked already but due to my specific scenarios I need a proper guide in it.. so I have a 9070XT with 7800X3D and recent windows 11 updates have screwed up performance for me a lot in various things, games, browsing, etc.. I was thinking about switching to Linux but I almost have little to no info about it nor do I know coding, would the performance be better if I switched over to Linux? is it difficult to get used to Linux? I hardly have motivation to sit and do things for hours to make things work properly hoping Linux isn't that much of a headache, I mostly play games I don't use Ai stuff, I'm either playing or watching streams, surely it's not difficult to make it work flawlessly on Linux right? especially with my build because I wanna know if Linux is icky with AMD builds

Games added to Steam from Heroic Launcher won't run

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 58 Minuten

I have this 1tb external hdd of arggghhh games and most of it runs perfectly fine at Heroic Launcher but when trying to launch them from Steam, it wouldn't work. My guess is because of the filesystem being NTFS but I don't have any extra storage to format into btrfs or ext4. Is it because of the filesystem or something's missing?

I'll try freeing some storage on my boot drive so I can test at least 1 game, running Fedora 43 KDE.

Arknights Endfield has AntiCheatExpert

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 5 Minuten

So, Arknights Endfield files just released on PC and when i finished pre-downloaded the game and tried to launch the game, it doesn't launch at first. I tried using the latest Proton-GE and setting flags like SteamOS=1 with STEAM_RUNTIME and SteamDeck flag set to 1 and the game finally launches. I'm using the native version of Steam. Maybe ACE is checking whenever the hardware is Steam Deck or not. This stuff is maybe present on other games with ACE.

Dualsense controller touchpad support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 55 Minuten

Im running linux mint when running games on steam, with or without steam input enabled, the touchpad on the controller is detected as mouse input. If I disable touchpads in the cinnamon settings window then no input is ever registered (with or without steam input).

Is it possible to have the touchpad only be used as controller button input?

Mod Organizer 2 simple fix for error: /tmp/mo2-linux-installer-downloads-cache/OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u312b07’: permission denied

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 38 Minuten

Hi folks, I hope it's alright that I post this here because I have spent hours trying to figure this out. I thought I would post this information because others have had the same issue as me but there wasn't much advice on what to do and it turned out to be ridiculously simple. I am running the latest version of Linux Mint and installed MO2 for use with Skyrim SE.

When installing Mod Organizer 2, an error comes up that shuts down the whole process:

/tmp/mo2-linux-installer-downloads-cache/OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u312b07’: permission denied

I opened to my /tmp/ folder as admin and located the folder called 'mo2-linux-installer-downloads-cache' that MO2's installer had already created. If it doesn't exist, you can make one, just be sure that it is named correctly. I then changed the folder permissions from root to my user. When restarting the installer, MO2 was able to download to the folder and install correctly without the permission denied error.

Another issue that came up was a problem with WINE:

warning: Unknown file arch of /home/$USER/.cache/protontricks/proton/GE-Proton9-1/bin/wineserver

Updating Winetricks fixed this issue. You can update it with:

sudo winetricks --self-update

I found this fix here: https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks/issues/286

Hope someone finds this useful!

Which one to choose? - Steam Flatpak vs. Steam.deb

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 42 Minuten

Which of these options do you consider superior based on your experience?

I'm interested in hearing opinions on aspects such as performance, compatibility, and long-term stability.

Thanks!

Gsync Module On Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 47 Minuten

Hey boys and girls, I am wondering if Linux (or rather Nvidia drivers under Linux) support native G sync modules without having to use any software Vrr at all. I am looking to switch to Linux as im sick and tired of windows forcing Vsync and having to use hacks and workarounds to disable it when on Linux I can just turn off the compositor entirely and also have good core scheduling (disaster on win11). Thanks!

Why do so many people have issues with Nvidia?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 9 Stunden 3 Minuten

I understand that Nvidia support for Linux is lacking quite a bit but some of the issues I see people having with them seem..... Strange. I'm running 48gb DDR5, an i-7 13700F and a Zotac 4070Ti Trinity OC and I have almost no issues what so ever on CachyOS. Sure my max FPS is lower than it would be on windows but I get much more consistent frame rates and a much smoother gaming experience all together than windows ever gave me. I don't have issues with waking my PC from sleep either like I've seen some people talk about. I'm just curious why it seems like so many people have issues with Nvidia that most people will just recommend switching to AMD.

Alternative to OpenEmu?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 9 Stunden 19 Minuten

I'm not sure if OpenEmu is relevant anymore, but I used to use it on a Macbook I had years ago. I'm just looking to emulate a variety of retro games and I liked how that let you do that. Here is my rig:

City Skylines trying to launch from Windows partition

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 9 Stunden 28 Minuten

Basically I dual boot and am using Heroic Launcher to launch City Skylines on the Nobara 42 Linux . I was wondering about the arguments section. I have tried the "-nolauncher" argument but nothing else. Is there a way other than yanking the PC apart for me to play (I also really hate Windows on a personal level) I will be back with a different post so 1 of 2 post for different problems
