Fanatec CSR on Bazzite (Sim Racing)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 23:37

Hi all, I am setting up Bazzite on my desktop and it's great so far but I want to run my Fanatec CSR and I'm not sure how to go about making it work on BeamNG and Assetto Corsa.

I'm installing the Fanatec Linux drivers here: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

I'm stuck on the install portion, basically I'm getting this message during "make"

Skipping BTF generation for hid-fanatec.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux

This presents a problem when I try to make install because I get this issue:

'hid-fanatec.ko' -> '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko'

cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko': Read-only file system

I believe I need to find a way to install the .ko file but I haven't had any luck yet

Leaving windows

I'm looking to switch from Windows to Linux. Which distro would you recommend for an RTX 3060? I'm aware of the Nvidia issues on Linux, but are there any specific distros that handle Nvidia cards better?

help to choose my distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:31

I have a PC as bad as a potato to the point that I can't play Valorant above 70fps.

I would like to find a Linux distro that would allow me to gain performance, customization (for ricing), and speed, all while taking up little space, because I plan to do a dual-boot setup. (I'm new to Linux; I would prefer a distro that isn't too complicated, even though I know that with all my criteria, this is going to be difficult.

Thank you for reading me and sorry for mistake I use Google translate to do this

GOG version of Dragon's Lair not launching

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:27

I just purchases Dragon's Lair Trilogy on GOG, and I can't seem to get the game working at all. I've switched from various versions of proton-ge, to regular non ge versions of proton. I've even tried the system version of wine, the game just never opens. No window or anything. Currently on Debian 13. I know the steam version has a linux build, would I just have to buy that?

A little help deciding Distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:08

I'd like some help from those more accustomed to Linux.

A month ago, I decided to try Linux. I installed CachyOS, and while I've had some minor issues, I've generally been able to fix them, either by searching online or simply requesting the necessary code from Gemini.

However, something I haven't been able to fix is ​​the download speed. As for games, I've been able to install most Steam games without problems; Elden Ring runs even with anti-cheat software. Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, all perfect. And I'm not so attached to Riot that I'd switch to Windows just to play TFT or League of Legends.

But the internet speed problem continues to bother me. Outside of Steam, Genshin Impact took me four days to download because it's so slow, and I try it with a PC with windows on the same internet and download faster. I tried to fix it, and I'm not sure if I even made it worse.

In any case, I've been thinking that instead of 'going back to Windows,' I should try a different Linux distribution.

Which distro would you recommend that won't cause problems with games, that let me play the games without much trouble and will also prevent me from accidentally messing up the system myself?

I'm asking this because before CachyOS I tried Ubuntu, and although I was able to install my games, they constantly froze or crashed whenever I tried to play music on YouTube while playing. At least with CachyOS I didn't have that problem.

What exactly does CreateSwapChain mean?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 19:42

I installed Linux on my laptop, was bored and tried to run a game. Got the above error message when trying to start the game with DXVK activated. After disabling DXVK settings, the game works without problems. So I'm good, but I'm still wondering what the error message is even saying? Just curious. Thanks! :)

Audio stops playing after a while of playing the game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 19:42

I use Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, and have been playing the gog version of Cult of the lamb on Heroic Launcher 2.18.1, with the wine version wine-ge-8-26-x86_64. It runs fine but when I play for a while the audio stops playing completely and the only way to fix it is to quit and load the game again. Sometimes when I load the game it has no audio in the first place. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

PSA: For some reason, ZZZ doesn't work properly on Linux if you have an LGA 1700 Intel CPU (12th, 13th, & 14th gen).

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 19:35

I recently switched to Linux Mint around the same time the newest ZZZ version came out. I could get ZZZ to go as far as allowing me to log in to my account, but I could never join the server, with it always freezing before saying connection failed. When I looked this up, I found that others also had this issue, and I'm pretty sure they all said they had 12th gen or 13th gen Intel CPUs. Sure enough, I had a 13600KF.

Most damming of all, when I switched my CPU for a Ryzen CPU (I did not buy one just for this, I was already in the process of upgrading my PC), I could suddenly log into the server. Anyone else notice this? Any idea what could possibly be causing this?

Can I ask You to check if the Native Linux build of my games demo works fine? Thanks in advance.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 19:17

Hey, I'd sincerely appreciate Your help in checking if GREX demo runs fine on Linux.

Regarding Steam Deck - I believe it's working, but UI still has to be operated by touch / mouse in some parts of the game. The game itself is fully playable on Gamepad controls though.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Mike
