Anybody know how to get rid of this strange half-border in Helldivers 2?

If you look at the left and top border of that picture, there's two strange white lines there for some reason. This only happens with HD2, I've never seen them in another game. I can technically get rid of them by putting the game in fullscreen, but that also disables my ability to alt-tab as the game refuses to maximise again after I do. I suppose a solution to that problem would also be an appreciated alternative.

rdna2 Frame gen + Virtual keyboard

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 21:05

I installed Bazzite (and CachyOS) on a secondary SSD a few days ago and I'm quite pleasantly surprised so far.

Two things I unfortunately can't solve:

- The FSR frame gen in Arc Raiders isn't displayed. I've tried all Proton versions without success. (GPU is a 6800 XT)

Can't find any fixes.

- A virtual keyboard like in Windows 11. I often need this when I switch from my PC to my TV with my wireless mouse.

Does something like this even exist? If so, how do I get an on-screen keyboard working?

Issues getting Helldivers working on fresh Linux Mint Cinnamon install

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 20:13

I've been trying to get Helldivers to run properly on my installation of Linux Mint. So far I have: Switched from fractional scaling to non fractional scaling, attempted to install modern proprietary drivers, and tried running Helldivers with Proton version 10, 9, & 8.

Helldivers *will* run but the framerate gutters on everything, and even Low feels kind of sluggish. I'm open to any ideas.

I'm using an AMD Gpu if that helps.

Included is my Fastfetch data and inxi screenshot if that'll help.

If there's any more data you need I'll try to provide it.

Could some sort of TPM chip on the GPU allow for OS-agnostic DRM that isn't invasive?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 20:04

One of the biggest problems preventing some games - and professional software - from running on Linux is their requirements for extremely invasive DRM that refuses to be emulated on Linux. Since games and such communicate with the GPU directly could future GPUs have some sort of protected memory that contains a decryption or authentication key that can be used to run the software? It would allow for an approach that is OS agnostic. It would suck because it would make cracking the DRM harder and requires a new GPU with the TPM or whatever, but it would allow the software to run on Linux perfectly, remove the barrier preventing professional software like AutoCAD from being ported to Linux, and I guess improves the experience on Windows because they no longer need the invasive rootkit.

My steam app is running at 1fps until i restart it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 19:49

https://reddit.com/link/1phknpv/video/ieycq912016g1/player

Hey, did any of you here had an issue with steam app working just like you see on the video? Everything is so damn laggy, scrolling takes 10 seconds, feels like running at 1fps etc. When i restart the app it works perfectly, but still this is kinda annoying. Anyone got a fix?

Hyprland
Omarchy distro (btw)

I didn't have any issues like that on KDE, and i literally don't have any ideas about why it can even happen.

Controller support for third party launchers (pop os)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 19:42

I know Linux has this “plug and play” controller support but the only thing that seems to work for me right now is the mouse for example on heroic I have COD ghosts downloaded (which supports controller) but whenever I connect my ps5 controller to my pc via usb and try to use it in the game nothing but the mouse input works I’m not sure if it’s because heroic doesn’t have a controller layout in the app but either way it’s just not working or if it’s because the game defaults to Xbox layouts (doubt that would change anything) I tried downloading ds4 windows and run the exe through heroic but that didn’t work I couldn’t get it to boot can anyone help?

How to?: Games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 19:18

Hey everyone, I’ve just started using Mint (been about a day), and I’m really struggling to get my usual games running properly. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Games I’m trying to run: - Assetto Corsa
- BeamNG
- SurrounDead
- Euro Truck 2 - Dispatch - Fever Meme

What I’ve tried so far:

Steam + Proton (Enabled in compatibility settings): - BeamNG only works when I launch the Vulkan version — the standard one won’t run. - Assetto Corsa just does nothing when I hit play. No crash, no error, just... nothing.

Heroic Launcher: - Switched to Heroic to see if it would help, but: - Assetto Corsa still doesn’t launch.
- Fever Meme loads menus and subtitles, but the actual game screen is black. (With sound) - Dispatch "does" work with no extra tweaks. Although runs slightly worse than on windows

Appreciate any help —

I want to switch and get away from windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 08. Dezember 2025 - 18:00

im over windows. I hate it, the whole hey you switch to windows 11 here’s co-pilot and then every other update that “fixes issues” crashes my pc and i have to sit there and be like mhmm online it says it’s either something to do with my bin folder, a OS issues or my ram is defective. like WOW that really narrows it down thanks windows. Windows 11 in my opinion looks visually pleasing. i like it. i’m probably one of the few people that do. but oh my god DOES IT SUCKKKK. i miss windows 7. i miss visa and i miss XP but its fineeeeeee im just going to abandon windows and switch over.

so, that being said. What steps should i do moving forward and is there a specific “version” of linux i should look at as a gamer. Linux is like learning a new language i feel like and every time ive thought about switching over in the past im like “eh that looks confusing” but im at my limit with windows. id rather learn something new than constantly trouble shoot something owned by a million dollar company lmao

Also. when switching over to linux. will it affect anything i play. (Im a huge league of legends and rainbow 6 siege gamer).

I also don’t know if this is the right place to be posting this so if there’s another form i should be at please correct me im sorry in advance <3
