I've been encountering this bug on almost every game I play, where after an hour or so the game will lag uncontrollably. The only solution I've seen is to add LD_PRELOAD="" in the launch parameters, but with this you also lose Steam Input, the Overlay and Steam Recording.

There doesn't seem to be any other workarounds so I'm wondering... Is EVERYONE using this parameter, or does it not occur at all on some distros?

I'd love to move fully over to Linux but I use Steam Recording a lot and have a script that runs on my network storage every night to organize them into folders and encode them to mp4, and it'd be a shame to lose that.

The bug in question: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11446

I want to use Linux again, but there are games are DX12 I want to play, since my RTX 3050 is kinda weak on windows ( but still playable with 60 fps), the performance hit around 15-30% will make it unplayable on linux, but can I "fix" it with lossless scaling?

Has anyone done that? I'm curious.

I posted about this about 9 months ago. I never was able to solve it and had to go back to Windows. I was on CachyOS at the time. Today I wiped my Windows OS today and Installed Fedora KDE because I am tired if their crap. I have to deal with them as an Intune Engineer but I want them gone on my personal PCs.

Guess what? I am stil having the same stupid throttling bug I had 9 months ago! And it seems lots of people are still and it hasn't been fixed despite a patch being proposed months ago!

This bug happens across several AMD cards, such as th 9070 XT. 9060 XT, the 7900 XT and XTX and more!

My post from 9 months ago:

7900 XTX only getting about half it's performance on CachyOS (Power-limited?) : r/linux_gaming

Other people having the same issue with supposed patch proposed months ago that AMD has not addressed:

`throttle_status` in `gpu_metrics` for Navi31 always show TEMP_HOTSPOT (#3251) · Issue · drm/amd

At this point I think I am going to have to sell my 7900 XTX and pick up a 5080. I was with Nvdia for over a decade. I skipped 4000 series and went full AMD and I really like my 7900 under Windows but under Linux it has been a complete showstopper. I am getting like 20-30 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 and STALKER 2 when I should be getting 100+ FPS like I do in Window.

I can't believe I am saying this but is going back to Nvidia the solution here? I know Nvidia's track record with Linux and I know it has been getting better but this year long bug with AMD makes me feel like I am integrated graphics. I am luckly to get 30 FPs in AAA games.

Edit: Before I get a bunch more comments say "Its cosmetic". Its not. Multiple reports have reported serious performance issues.

Example:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3251#note_2318407

Edit 2: Some of y'all are missing the point. This is clearly a kernel level bug. I shouldn't have to do anything in LACT to get more than 50% of my TDP out of the card on a new install.

I'm experiencing this bug on multiple distros across a 9 month time period which should eliminate driver/mesa/proton version bugs.

This is either a grossly ignore GPU driver bug or missed kernel upstream bug

I originally wanted to switch to Nobara but I had some problems in the online installation and then decided to get fedora instead
Nobara comes with proton GE from my understanding so I wonder if it is the best version of proton to have or not
so what would you recommend

Im using bazzite gnome, and I love it so far, everythings quite easy to follow however Im having 2 minor issues but theyre bothering me

firstly - my scroll wheel (Logitech G502 hero mouse) is behaving weird in games. It takes 2-3 "clicks" to enter 1 scroll input (think minecraft, it takes multiple scrolls to scroll the hotbar)

second - I cant for the life of me get mangohud to work, so far Ive tested it with 2 games, minecraft via prism launcher (says mangohud not found) and GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition via lutris, which when turning on the FPS overlay setting, or adding MANGOHUD=1 to the environment variables, the game wont boot until theyre disabled/removed.

If anyone can help me solve this itill be greatly appreciated as I wish to push to use windows less and less. Thanks!

i use mullvad vpn which has a command on linux (mullvad-exclude) that you can put before a command to have said command run outside the vpn. i want to do this with a game i have on heroic games launcher because i need to turn my vpn off to play some servers on it, but i don't know how or if i can add a launch argument or something that adds mullvad-exclude to whatever command it uses to launch the game. is that a thing i can do?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to play HSR on the steam deck but nothings worked I’ve put off using the honkers launcher as I heard there’s a possibility of getting banned but at this point I may just try it I wanted to ask if anyone has had any issues on this as well as the possibility of getting banned or even if anyone could give some tips that may help me play.

I tried installing the latest version of mint and bazzite but i get error out of memory even when i have 16gb of ram and even when trying to boot even on livecd. So i have these questions,

My specs are: Ryzen 3 2200g, Rx570, 16gb of ram, linux mint 21.3(only version that works)

1. Even if im not on the latest version of a distro will i still get update even after 20 years?
2. Are kernels like windows 11 which requires newer hardware to be installed?

3.Are older machines just install a version then stay at that version always and cannot upgrade to the latest versions?

1. Are newer kernels able to support old machines?

thanks for someone who replies

I typically play Overwatch 2 and Helldivers 2 for my Multiplayer game fix. However I've kind of been missing Apex Legends and Fortnite a bit. Been looking into Arc Raiders recently but also been wondering what other Multiplayer games like those work on Linux. Can be Battle Royal, Extraction Shooter, or just plain team deathmatch/CTF type games as long as they're good/fun. All the better if they're free to play, tho not a necessity.

Ideas?

Not really sure what flair to use for this post, but here it is:

So I am currently on KDE Neon, but I wanted to try out Arch as that's the only "family" of distros I haven't used yet. I have tried Debian/debian-based/ubuntu-based and fedora/fedora-based distros before settling on PopOS for a bit, before finally switching to KDE Neon.

I currently really enjoy KDE Plasma, but I heard a lot of talk about Hyprland, and I wanted to know which would be better for gaming as far as DEs go, if there is a difference at all.

Also, what Windows Managers are you using? Is there any one in particular I should look into or just go with whatever looks best?

I already plan on going with the Wayland compositor. I honestly really prefer it over X11, but I would still like opinions on stuff I havent considered.

Last thing, is there anything I should consider other that the above when making my setup?

Thank you for the recommendations and advice!

for RTX 40-50 series Nvidia GPU

580.105.08 drivers

(im on 40-series)

NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 %command%

all those 30fps locked games become 60 - it literally changing everything

there weird UI inconsistency - look there example

but I 100% trade small UI interpolation to smooth 60 fps

I am a Manjaro user on my laptop and on my work laptop, but I was still using Windows 11 on my gamer PC, but the last few weeks I have felt the computer slow, it started up and was already using 6GB, Firefox was slow to load, etc. which made me do an investigation to see if I could use my gamer PC with Linux, what compatibility problems I was going to have with my hardware and after installing and half an hour solving a problem with the sound, I start the first game (valheim) and oh surprise, it is having better performance with at least 30 more fps, it remains at 120 in stable with everything on high when it was something that did not happen before, I am going to continue trying the rest of the games, some heavier ones like Cyberpunk and rdr2 to see how it behaves and I will share the tests with you, it fills me with joy since I have been a Linux user for more than 12 years but I had never seen it as viable for gaming, I just wanted to share this because it fills me with joy

This is gonna sound pretty pathetic, how does one run a game through wine and how does one figure out what proton version to use as I see a ton and have no idea what to pick. I wanna be able to play stellar blade Elden ring code vein etc but they just don’t open or crash.

I'm pretty sick at the moment, so thought I'd get Skyrim up and running. But I've played it so many times, mostly on Switch, and wanted to change up the experience a bit with some mods.

I did the whole thing with pikdums Vortex download, and that was all easy, though a little tedious. After around 200 mods, I was ready to get it up and running. But many of these mods rely on dll mods to work properly. I have about 8 that I've just not been able to force no matter what I do.

I went into compatibility and am using the latest version of Proton for my game, and under launch options I've added some additional code. I'm not sure if my code is incorrect, and I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. This is what I have in the code, as these are the dlls I have installed. Keep in mind that my Skyrim launcher DOES have a _ at the beginning because that was required to get modlauncher 2 running but it didn't work.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=cbp.dll,CrashLogger.dll,ImprovedCameraSE.dll,InfinityUI.dll,OBody.dll,OpenAnimationReplacer.dll,OStim.dll=n,b _SkyrimSElauncher.exe

Additional info: all other mods were uploaded to vortex without issue. When I try to run the game in desktop mode it tells me "Couldn't read arguments" and then just stays that way until I close the windows. I have run the post-deploy. The dll mods have been extracted and added to the same folder and the Skyrim launch file.

Thanks so much in advance. I really hope I can get this working 😁

So I'm having some serious issues with some games through Steam and it honestly seems like a coin flip in terms of what games will and won't work. I'm pretty new to Linux so I'm not familiar with a lot of what can be done to fix these so any help would be greatly appreciated. I can play games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Arc Raiders max settings ZERO issues pretty much out of the box. I've maybe had 1 crash with Arc Raiders but it was on the main menu and since then haven't had it at all. No freezes, no stutters. However, games like Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and a laundry list of others just simply refuse to load up. I've probably went through every mentioned fix in past posts that I could find for these games and nothing seemed to be working. I've gone as far as one by one checking every single version of proton to see if it will do anything. Essentially, if I'm not focused on the window where the game is running I can hear it running with no issue. I know this because on startup Elden Ring will not load. But when I swap windows to pull up the terminal I then start to hear the main menu music and when I swap I'm at the main menu and it's completely frozen. Witcher 3 is even weirder. On a fresh restart I can get myself to the main menu and interact with it with zero issue. But the second I load up a game it freezes and just like Elden Ring if it's not focused it runs with no issue. Every subsequent start up from there if I haven't fully restarted my PC will just refuse to load and it sits on a black screen. Hardware is for sure not the issue here, I have a pretty beefy PC that is capable of running games on Windows maximum settings and like I mentioned previously BG3 and Arc Raiders run flawlessly for the most part. I've gone through like 30 different tutorials to see if there was something that I was missing and it would work but I genuinely cannot understand what would cause certain games to just not load up. Like I said it seems genuinely random. Any help please, I don't want to go back to Windows.
