Ive been messsin' around for 'bout 2 months begging with the machine spirit to let me run my favorite game because i dont know how linux works and no "solutions" have worked due to being 5 or so years old
i had been searching every forum then today it just works after running that thing there that disabled split lock i found on a steam post from someone saying EA doesnt work if its on

now everything runs smooth only minor lagging but thats on my end for having 1 bar of wifi

Game starts fine but after 5-10 mins crashes with no info. Running it from Steam and tried with multiple compatibility modes, set all permissions to AKA.exe - haven't found any LOG-file either. Installed real liveries but didn't make difference. Anyone any luck with this amazing game?

Nothing really worth bragging about, but a pretty big deal for me. 9800x3D on a X870E board w/ 9070 XT. Choose the parts with Linux gaming in mind.

I'm trying to decide between Zorrin and CachyOS. As a three decade plus windows user, Zorrin is right up my alley, everything still makes sense in the GUI. I've got CachyOS installed at the moment though.

Can anyone recommend some gaming / performance benchmark tools? I've run shadow of the tomb raider cyberpunk 2077, I want to run some more and then switch to Zorrin, see if the tweaks in cachyos are worth the extra setup work for a noob like myself.

Also, why the f can't I get openrgb to work? I can't get the udev script to install, so I can't control my pretty fans lol.

Been distro-hopping for a bit, landed on Kubuntu for months at one point in time, it was great, and then a Mesa update was pushed that broke everything on my system, so I had to nuke and pave. Installed CachyOS and it's just been constant unwavering issues. Audio cracking and stuff that is caused by my USB PnP microphone somehow that persists through reinstalls, and also occurs on EndeavourOS, it's just been a mess.

In addition to this, I have a Logitech G920, and I am looking for a distro with solid support for that wheel. There is a driver for it built into the kernel, but it's a bit funky. The pedals do not read like they should, and there is a deathwobble when idling. I'm hoping that there might be a distro with additions to the kernel driver that might make the wheel a bit more seamless to use.

If I really have to dual boot for racing, that's fine, because basically every other game I play works without a hitch on Linux, sim racing is just frustrating, as I'm at a constant disadvantage. I have spent probably 10 or 12 hours troubleshooting this stupid audio issue, and I cannot fix it for the life of me. Between AI, forums, etc.. (Thanks CachyOS community for absolutely nothing) I have not been able to solve this issue, and I'm really not sure I understand what is causing it, other than the completely elementary idea that "my microphone is causing my audio to crack and games to lag when it's plugged in".

As such, I am really looking to solve two issues here: steering wheel functionality and audio issues. I've been looking at Pop!_OS, as I used it way way back when it first released, but now that they're all caught up in Cosmic, I have no idea what to expect from that distro, but I see it commonly in this subreddit. I also used Nobara, back when it first came to popularity more than a few years back, and I know it's in decent shape nowadays.

I prefer KDE for its customizability, but I'm starting to lean in towards heavily customized GNOME, so I could really do either.

Thanks for reading! Any thoughts?

Hi, I switched to CachyOS a couple of days ago and I've been testing games on Steam, and this one in particular is the only one that crashes. It lets me open the game, play for about 2-3 minutes, and then it crashes. I've tried Proton Experimental, the GE version, the native version, and the Linux runtime version. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Hey folks. Im a newish Linux user. Recently made to full switch from windows. Been playing Minecraft Bedrock just fine with no issues until today. Went to play and the *NIX launcher gave me some mod to install. No name just "mod 0.0.2". I installed it and instantly had issues. It restarted the launcher, logged in like usual, and then the game would crash back into the launcher debug dialog screen saying it crashed due to "unix signal number 6". No amount of searching for this specific error in conjunction with the unofficial launcher gave me any help or hints towards fixing the issue. So i uninstalled the launcher, restarted my computer and reinstalled the launcher. Now it just brings up the update dialog box and when i click confirm, it just shuts down. I tried running it thru Terminal, "sudo flatpak run io.mrarm.mcpelauncher -v", to see if it gave any details and no such luck. I also tried denying Wayland and forcing X11 and again no luck. If it helps i installed Linux Mint on my old gaming system as i got tired of it just sitting and not being used. Currently running Asus Crosshair V Formula - Z, FX-9370 cpu, EVGA GeForce GTX960 (2GB edition), 32GB DDR3 ram. The nVidia driver its running is the recommended 535.274.02, and the only other program i have on here is Plithos for music streaming. I have run update and upgrade several time, as well as the flatpak update.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

FYI: With Diablo 4, testing with the new DLSS 4.5 Preset M at Quality gives worse performance than turning DLSS off.

• CachyOS
• 5090
• PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 mangohud game-performance %command%

Lose about 10 FPS with DLSS Quality compared to DLSS Off. Also, I am seeing increased power usage with DLSS 4.5 Preset M vs DLSS off / DLSS Preset K

Edit 1:

Some quick "tests" of standing in town. DLSS 4.5 Preset M Quality performs worse than with DLSS off

• DLSS Off, 4k
  • ~235 fps
• DLSS 4 Preset K. Resolution 4k
  • Quality: ~265 fps
  • Balanced: ~285 fps
  • Performance: ~318 fps
  • Ultra Performance: ~393 fps
• DLSS 4.5 Preset M. Resolution 4k
  • Quality: ~220 fps
  • Balanced: ~245 fps
  • Performance: ~284 fps
  • Ultra Performance: ~359 fps

Additionally, I am seeing increased power draw on the card in LACT when using DLSS 4.5 Preset M Quality compared to DLSS 4 Preset K Quality and DLSS Off.

So a few weeks ago, I was playing Fallout 4 just fine on NixOS (26.05), Proton 9.0.4, with unstable nixpkgs. Now, whenever I launch a bethesda game of any kind, in this example skyrim, it will pop up the launcher menu with no text what so ever. I can find no documentation on this anywhere, have tried launching through gamemode/gamescope, and have also tried the skipping launcher trick by renaming the .exes in the program files, but to no avail. Fo4 runs fine on my steam deck, which I would assume because it's running under game scope, which sounds like a nixos issue. I'm not sure what to do here, so any help is appreciated.

I have 2 discrete GPUs in my system: B580 and 1650. The B580 is on the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot while the 1650 is on the 3.0 x4. My monitor is connected to the 1650 via HDMI because I want to save all the VRAM from the B580 for AI or use it for games that my 1650 cant handle.

I have the nvidia-driver-580 and Mesa 25.3.3 - kisak-mesa installed and it seems the drivers are fighting because I cant use the B580 to game at all, but when I have only the Mesa drivers installed it works fine.

Here are some issues when trying to use the B580: davi@davi:~$ __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.json glxgears -info pci id for fd 4: 10de:1f82, driver (null) pci id for fd 5: 10de:1f82, driver (null) pci id for fd 6: 10de:1f82, driver (null) glx: failed to create dri3 screen failed to load driver: nvidia-drm MESA: error: CreateSwapchainKHR failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED MESA: error: zink: could not create swapchain Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.

Aborted (core dumped) DXVK: DxvkInstance::createInstance: Failed to create Vulkan instance with it returning VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

I opened an issue at Mesa (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/14507) and one of the developers mentioned "reverse prime", but when I researched about it I only found out results about X11, but I am on Wayland.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm trying to launch Sable through Heroic Games Launcher, and the game crashes at launch with this error in the log. How would I fix this? I am using CashyOS (Arch Based). I am using the latest Proton fork by Glorious Eggroll.

por algum motivo, toda vez que abro qualquer mod, ele fica com a tela assim, mostrando a ultima coisa que tava na tela, o jogo parece estar funcionando tudo, é so a parte visual que esta bugada, pois eu conseguia clickar em alguns menus (pelo menos eu ouvi o som de abrindo menus)

Hi there! I wanted to know how I'd go about in terms of drivers and such, replacing my NVIDIA GPU with an AMD one. I'd delete NVIDIA drivers and install AMD? Anything special to it? I'm using the proprietary drivers, if that is necessary on Fedora Gnome.

Pretty much the title. Before Torvalds sudo rm's my soul from my body, I bought the 5070ti a little while ago before I fully committed to making the permanent switch to Linux. So far my experience with the card has been pretty solid. I've had some weird experiences, but nothing too unmanageable. Performance seems fine, but I dont have any solid data to compare against Windows.

I have the opportunity to trade the 5070 for a 9070xt +$100 cash (to me). Should I seal the deal? Obviously AMD is generally the better bet for Linux, but it seems like (in my uneducated opinion) that NVIDIA is starting to step up their Linux driver support. Plus, NVIDIA seems to be releasing some cool new features like DLSS 4.5 (I know people hate frame-gen and other AI game features, but both NVIDIA and AMD are pushing the tech, so it's worth considering).

As far as my use case, I'd mostly use the card for playing demanding single-player games at 1440p. I'd also like to mess around a bit with self-hosting an AI. I tried getting it to work with an older AMD card and it was pain.

Hello! I have an older gaming PC (Intel Core i5 4690k, GTX 970, 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD) that has been gathering dust, and it can't be updated to Windows 11 so I'm hoping to breath some new life into it by switching it over to Linux for gaming, but I'm not sure if it would actually make sense to go through the effort of that if it wouldn't really work all that well. I don't play a ton of modern games, but I am deeply intrigued by the fact that I might be able to play my Steam library again since I only have an M1 Mac right now and can only play about 1/4 of my library.

I was considering either Bazzite or Nobara as my distro, but if there's a different recommendation that works better with older hardware, I'm happy for the recommendation. It looks like my graphics card would work with Bazzite, but I'm still very much a Linux noob so I'm happy to learn more.

Thanks so much!

the game used to run about 90 fps without raytracing for me a year or so ago, ran like butter, now on the same machine and settings it runs anywhere from 45-60, especially worse when using ray tracing, anybody else experience this? i saw a few unhelpful posts in the past and on protondb about it, weird since the pragmata demo ran beautifully and all the other RE engine games run completely fine (barring monster hunter wilds)

Comecei a jogar LOTF no cachyOS, tudo rodando relativamente ok, ate passar da irma Delyth, o jogo simplesmente travava e depois de um tempo fechava, tentei de tudo porem sem resultados, entao copiei os saves e joguei no meu windows 10, alem do jogo rodar muito mais liso, nao tive problemas, nem com os mini travamentos e nem de travar e fechar

Sou novo com linux e embora tenha dual boot com win10, a intençao é nao usar ele, alguem saberia dizer se é possivel melhorar o desempenho desse jogo em especifico no linux? sei que nao é realmente um problema mas eu realmente nao queria ir pro windows so pra zerar o game kkkk

meu processador é um ryzen 5700x, com uma 5060ti 16gb, 16gb de ram, com dlss o jogo fica rodando oscilando entre 60 a 90 fps

TIP for DLSS 4.5

dlss-swapper and PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE (for now, should be updated in the future) uses latest rendering preset, which is preset M, and it's not recommended when using different scaling than Performance or Ultra Performance. To force preset K back, you have to use this env variable:

DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_K

or

DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=DEFAULT

This changes automatically based on scalling in game

Presets J and K also uses new transformer 2.0 model for those wondering

Works on Proton GE and Proton CachyOS

I've also verified that fix for this is easy, as it really needs a small change in upscalers.py file in proton so it should be fixed probably in next Proton CachyOS release at least as I've let them know about it on their Discord
