I'm running Assetto Corsa Rally via lutris and it opens just fine but my ps4 controller isn't working with. I usually don't have issues using my controller with games on linux. Anybody know why this is happening? If I try to bind the accelerator to R2 I get the selected device not allowed in this input slot error.

i switched from windows 11 to linux mint.

its easier to install apps i just open the app store and click install . rather than search for an exe and make sure the site is the real one,not a malware site.

also gaming works good. i can run most of my games on steam with proton,like cyberpunk 2077,portal 2,elden ring,and hollow knight.

plus no more your pc needs to update now,while im doing smth important.

(Linux) Game freezes every second respawn in multiplayer only. Anybody got any leads?

Decided to get back into squad after years...mostly because i have nothing else to play haha....

The game boots up and starts perfectly fine, i join a server and then it freezes after dying once on second respawn. It literaly doesnt matter if i die immidiately or after 2 hours. The game freezes only after dying once and spawning the second time. Every time the exactly the same thing happens. Most of the time the gun isnt even fully modeled before it freezes, and after half a minute a window pops up saying "Application hang, closing now"

These errors pop up in logs when the game freezes :

Jan 25 11:18:51 PC1 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: \[gfxhub\] page fault (src\_id:0 ring:24 vmid:4 pasid:32781)

Jan 25 11:18:51 PC1 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: Process GameThread pid 20952 thread vkd3d\_queue pid 21015

Jan 25 11:18:51 PC1 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: in page starting at address 0x0000800011200000 from client 0x1b (UTCL2)

Jan 25 11:18:51 PC1 kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: GCVM\_L2\_PROTECTION\_FAULT\_STATUS:0x00401431

The game works perfectly fine in both the tutorial and shooting range.

The game is a fresh install of Squad with cache wiped

PC Specs :

Arch Linux + KDE Wayland

i7 12700k

RX 6800 XT

32 gigs RAM

1000 Watt power supply

If anybody has any leads, or has experienced similiar issues be glad to hear about it.

Thanks

I would like to launch my Steam games via Heroic Launcher, as I am not a fan of Steam Big Picture.

This works if I add Steam as a game with the appropriate parameters, but Steam remains open after the game is closed, causing Heroic Launcher to display the “game” as running.

Is there a way to automatically close Steam after closing a game? Alternatively it would be enough if Heroic Launcher did not monitor if Steam is running or not.

Hi everyone, my gaming laptop asus tuf f15 fx506hc run arch kde plasma on cachyos (ci5 + rtx 3050). I have thermld and PPD. My temp while gaming playing old titles like Bioshock is kinda high and sometimes spikes the cpu temp range 78 ~ 85 and over that. i think i get way less temp on windows. I check fans while gaming 3000 rpm (the laptop raised with stand ). Should i replace PPD to Tlp or is there is a way to undervolt of raise fans profile or something. Thanks in advance

So i always wanted to switch to linux since maybe 1-2 years, i think i did in 2024 or 25 for maybe a week i was using mint but because of some incompatibility or maybe some things i was not aware of i switch back to windows.
I mean i heard that the vortex mod manager is going to be supported for linux soon apparently so i guess that's not a problem for long cause i do like to mod my fallout 4 sometimes and it's cool to see that more and more things are supported on linux now.

So know i'm still on windows 11 and i'm thinking of going on the linux side but i want to know multiples things :

- How do i do if i want to be able to do clips all the times ?
Cause now i'm using the nvidia instant replay with the nvidia app, apparently with obs or something like that it's possible ?

- How hard is it to run "legal" games ? cause i sometimes "try" some games to see if i like it yk

- I use a beyerdynamic mmx 200 wireless headset, will i have problems with it or not ?

- can i run the logitech g hub ? cause i sometime use my logitech wheel

- and finally for now i know it's the same questions always but what distro should i use ?
tbh i just want something pretty simple and good for privacy and compatiblity

ive been searching everywhere but i cant seem to find a place to download the native version of grid autosport, i searched everywhere, the only way ive seen people playing it is if theyve alrready bought the game some time ago on steam. I have a HP Envy DV6 with the Nvidia Geforce GT 635M which somehow managed to run the game at 45ish fps on win 11 on medium graphics. If anyyone has a way, please let me know. Thanks

Hi! I’ve been dealing with an issue for a while now. It all started when I tried to create a free online server for Minecraft Java so I could play together with my sister. From that moment on, the game has never launched properly again.

To be honest, I’m not even sure the problem is related to that website, since it doesn’t really make sense to me. As you can see in the video below, when I press Play in the launcher, the game starts and I can hear the menu music, but there’s no actual menu image. All I see (as shown in the video) is a small corner of my entire desktop inside the game window.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but the problem persists. I also searched through various sources, even tried asking ChatGPT for help, but none of the solutions worked.

If anyone knows what I can do, I’d be deeply grateful! Has anyone else experienced something like this?

For the past 2 days i have tried and failed to get steamvr to work on linux. I have tried bazzite 43 and ubuntu 24.04, and every time i have gotten 3 errors, 405, 499, 1200. I have an rx 6700 xt and a i11400 with an iGPU, and i tried the steam link app, alvr and wiVRn. None worked. If anyone knows a easy setup where it will just work, or almost just work. i dont care about what distro it is, or desktop enviorment

Basically I need a gaming distro that has switchable X11 and Wayland at loading screen. I wanted to use Nobara when I noticed it's now only Wayland. I hear I can add X11 by Konsole but have been recommended against it. Any distro optimizes for amd gaming that has those at default?

The reason why I need both is because I wanna use Wayland primarily but at times I will need X11 because I wanna write a script that presses A and D to move right or left in a game every 30 or so seconds even when the game is unfocused. Like so I can play smtn else or browse the web while the script holds A for 30 and then D for 30. According to googling this is only possible with X11. Help?

This is my 3 months experience on gaming with Linux, honestly I am so impressed by the compatibility of Linux because 5 years back then I only knew that Linux = Ubuntu and some distros for Raspberry Pi however now -and due to gaming OS- I knew tons of OS. Currently I am running CachyOS as it is said that it is the max performance OS for gaming. I know part of the issues I am going to say are hardware related.

CPU: Intel Core-i7 11700H

GPU: RTX 3060 Laptop

Ram: 16GB

What I like:

- very less to no bloat running on the system

- every order every mouse click every close every open feels snappy and instant

- less Ram usage on idle

- less CPU usage on idle = quitter fan noise

- satisfying my developer fantasies

What I don’t like:

- I have to test/tinker to find the best sweet spot for every game which by the end the avg. FPS is lower than Windows

- Modding non-steam is painful

Outcome: I know that part of my gaming performance is hindered by the nvidia GPU and AMD is better supported, also I was testing on Arc Raiders, yet the game is playable as at a descent frame rate (55-80+FPS as I am locking the game to 80FPS). Also I won’t blame Linix for kernel based games like COD and Fortnite because its a dev issue and I know that at some point it will be resolved (steam deck is coming…). One more thing if someone who play modern pirated games just forget it.

Notes: as a dev I was comparing installing MySQL server and MySQL workbench on both Windows and CachyOS, on windows things were simple with few clicks however on Linux I learned that Arch based linux favors MarinaDB over the official MySQL server, I learned how to install from the AUR and also the power of using docker.

Hi all,

I've been trying to use xbox cloud gaming on my laptop (I'm on linux mint mate if that matters to anyone) via firefox (I've also tried chrome but that didn't help in any way) but for some reason when i try and use my controller my X button triggers Y and Y triggers X along with both triggers entirely not working. despite the triggers not working, the website detects there is pressing down on the triggers but there is no reaction on the controller displayed on the screen (I can give a picture of what I mean if you're confused.) I know it's not a controller issue or even an issue with linux itself because any local controller tester I use it works perfectly fine, it's exclusively on web browsers. I've been researching anything about this for weeks trying to work it out or find a program that could potentially fix it, even tried writing a custom script in order to get it to work but nothing has worked. Is there something obvious I am missing? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I know I am 4 years late to this discussion lol, but I am having insane micro stutters in Elden ring. I am on Mint, with a RX 6650XT and i3-13100F, 16gb ddr4. The game runs at 60fps with barely any dips (confirmed both by mangohud and steam overlay), but it genuinely feels almost unplayable due to micro stutters on ANY graphics settings. I tried both Steam and Lutris with different proton versions (including GE), I tried switching the force power option to high, and I am using gamemoderun. The only thing that actually helps is lsfg-vk (lossless scaling), which makes my game run capped at 100fps (monitor is 100hz), but introduces latency, which is why I would rather fix it and play it at 60fps native. Pls help! Thanks!

The game can be ran with DW Proton, which bypasses ACE, have there been any known ban cases yet?

When I'm in an actual match, the game crashes within the first minute or so. The lobby and launcher are fine but after that I crash. I'm on Ubuntu 25.1, with an RX 5700xt + Ryzen 7 5700x3d, 32gb ddr4 ram.

Edit - using SteamDeck=1 %command% worked, alongside Proton 10.0-3
Now my game has an issue with my mouse going to another monitor.

Edit 2 - After installing gamescope and using SteamDeck=1 gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 --force-grab-cursor -- %command% the game runs at around 120-ish fps, with no issues with the mouse. Keeping the post up just in case someone needs assistance.
