Hello frineds, I have a Lenovo Legion laptop with the Ultra 9 cpu and 5070 ti gpu running CachyOS and when I go to run Wuthering Waves I get audio but a black screen. I have tried the STEAMDECK=1 command, changing proton to experimental but still no luck. If anyone has any other suggestion please let me know

Hi i downloaded cyberpunk yesterday and wanted to play my old save but when it started loading in it started stuttering like crazy and around after 15s it just stopped completely and i had to turn off my pc using the button on the case i just thought it was a mod desync since i had mods installed on my windowws but i didin't install mods on linux yet so i just went to sleep, but now i started a new game and the same thing happened and im kinda bummed out since i really was craving cyberpunk but had no space before.

This problem only exists in one game, that game is called the isle, every time I launch the game, my CPU load goes through the roof, my audio starts getting distorted and I literally cannot do anything else, even talk to my friends in discord as I said my audio gets all distorted.

I am currently using arch linux with Hyprland with the following PC specs

AMD Ryzen 5900x

AMD Radeon 7800xt

32 GB DDR4 Ram 3600mhz

1TB NVME SSD

Now when I am actually in the game, it runs beautifully, 120fps average on high settings at 1440p, no CPU bottleneck at all and honestly overall smoother than on windows

This is also a more recent thing like within the last year or so, it was running fine before when I was using KDE Plasma, and I tried swapping to fedora KDE to see if it was something in the distro, but the issue persisted, then I tried Gamemoderun steam command and that did nothing, and I have also tried many different types of proton versions (not any GE types though) and im wondering if this is a me problem or if it is just the game.

A couple of my friends on linux do not have this problem at all which is something else that confuses me, one is on steamOS and the other Nobara.

Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated, if more info is needed or would like a video I can absolutely take one to show exactly what is happening

Thanks in Advance

I got an old 2060 from my job and decided to use it on my rig while gaming to record my games and maybe stream sometime. But for some reason now that I have already installed whenever I try to open a game on Steam a message appears saying "Processing Vulkan shaders", loads and then crashes.
Anyone knows what's happening?
This screenshot is the error message I get whenever trying to play ARC Riders, which was running just fine before the installation of the second GPU. Just for reference, my main GPU is the MSI OC 3070 Ti.

There is a lack of FSR still which is bullshit but what worries me the most is the infamous "white render" bug Radeon users were facing months ago. Square enix has a super bad track record for patching their PC ports so before i pull the trigger i want to know if it was ever fixed.

Rebirth as a PC port is garbage but apparently it's even worse on PS5 so my options are PS5 slim or my radeon 9070 build and i'm still hearing it's terrible on both.

I found an alternative solution instead of Lutris. Hope it helps. If you wanna correct something or have more helpful tips, feel free to share.

Important info:

I can not gurantee you any success.

The written steps I used were done using my other drive, where the game is installed. I can't guarantee any success if you have the game on Linux installed. I don't recommend trying to install the game directly in Linux unless you're experienced with Wine, as it can be complicated. If you don't have the game installed, switch to Windows (if you have a dual boot system) or use a Windows virtual machine, install the game wherever you want and then go back to Linux.

Will this guide work for the SteamDeck? I don't see why it shouldn't but I haven't tested it since I have no SteamDeck.

Why not using Lutris? Personal skill issues but despite numerous attempts, Lutris fails either installing or launching the game. Not even the install scripts on the webpage of Lutris for this game worked for me.

What's needed?

You need protontricks, winetricks and Wine. In my case: I have the staging version of Wine installed but try it out with the non-staging version of Wine if you want to.

Generally speaking, if you launch any game from a different drive in Steam, make sure you have read+write enabled on said drive in /etc/fstab . Otherwise, Steam is unable to write anything on the drive where a game is. If you dont have that setting, then google "RE: Unable to add drive to Steam and can't launch a game".

Steps for the setup

1. (Optional): If you have Steam running, then terminate Steam with the command pkill steam in the Terminal. Don't just close the Steam window as this will not fully terminate Steam. After running the command, type and run steam in the Terminal. Not only will Steam be launched, but you can see incomming logs. The logs are handy in case something goes wrong.
2. Add the file `installation path\to\the\game\Lithtech.exe` as a non-Steam game manually to your library. Don't use `NOLF2.exe` because this is the launcher of the game and it may only show the "install" button, not the "play" button.
3. Right click on the added game > Properties > Compability settings of the game and enable "Force the use of specific Steam Play [...]". Then choose a Proton version. Just pick the latest or the GE version of Proton, if you have it. I tested Proton 8, 9, 10 and GE-Proton-10.
4. Launch the game and it will exit. But that's ok because a Steam ID for the non-steam game was created.
5. In the terminal, run `protontricks -l`. This will show you the created Steam IDs for your games you launched on Linux. Copy/Write down the ID of No One Lives Forever 2.
6. Run the following command without the [] brackets: protontricks [APPID] mfc42 msvcirt dsound directmusic directplay d3dx9 vcrun2005. In case... err... the game's installation path has modified files/mods, then you can run this if required (which is what I did): protontricks 3464322005 mfc42 msvcirt dsound directmusic directplay d3dx9 vcrun2005 vcrun2019 vcrun2017 vcrun2015
7. Go back to the property settings of the game > Shortcut and add the following for "Launch options": -rez GAME.rez -rez sound.rez -rez GAME2.rez -rez GAMEdll.rez -rez Sound.rez -rez custom -rez Update_v1x3.rez +multiplayer 0
8. Launch the game again and see if you can get in. If not.. or the window is not properly sized, you only hear sound and the window only shows black.... I did the following. See Step 9.
9. Run protontricks [APPID] regedit. For this you need to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software . Right click on the folder Software > create a new key named "Monolith Productions". Without any quotation marks of course and you have created a new folder. Right click on that folder > add a new key named "1.0". Right click on that folder > new string, which will create file. Name the file InstallDir. By double-clicking the file, a window pops up where you can add the value for the string InstallDir. You need to know where the game is installed and then add it's path as a value. In my case and to show an example, my path value for InstallDir looks like this: Z:\\mnt\\drive2\\Programs\\NOFL2\\ . You need to add double backslashes like I did.

Hope this works for you. 😇

Side notes:

• What about the first game No One Lives Forever? In my case no further settings were needed. I added the the game as a non-steam game, enabled compability and chose Proton 10. It works and had no issues so far. If I run into any, then I will document it.
• Yes, this is working for the game version from nolfrevival[.]tk *(mods, please see notes down below).
• When launching the game, there are videos played to show the devs/publishers. There is one, that only renders black and only sound is played. No worries though, you can skip any of the vidoes.
• Maybe I will update this later or people can suggest solutions: When the game is launched, although the window is in fullscreen mode, you will see black bars on the left and right. I don't know what configs are required to change this. There is maybe an issue to consider: Forcing the game to show higher resolutions as options and use for example 1920x1080p, will make certain things like text overlap. I dont see issues using 1440x1080 as a video setting for the game. This game wasn't designed for higher resolutions and it will notify you, if you go above a certain resolution.

*I read all the posted information in the rules and FAQ. No mentions of piracy. 💀

Games made by Monolith are in legal limbo, they are no longer officially purchasable (like this game) and because the company was closed by Warner Bros. Remaining copyright holders aren't interested to clarify the situation about ownership [SOURCE]. The article in the link explains why. This makes games made by Monolith (like this one) freeware and dead IPs and the owners aren't interested to claim ownership or file legal cases/cease and desist about piracy. I can't find any info they did, either when it comes to games from Monolith.

So Mods, rest assured, it's extremely unlikely you will be notified by Reddit or any lawyers only because I posted said link to get the game. 😁

Why I made this guide?

There is not much helpful information online how to run this game on Linux.

I use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma Wayland. I need Wayland for stuff like HDR, etc. I want to be able to log in using Moonlight. Since Sunshine is running as a user session, my PC is completely unreachable until I log in. And it's really inconvenient since I'm out of the house most of the day. About a year ago I was able to get it working by making a systemd system service (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sunshine.service) to make Sunshine run as root and have access to the whole PC, including the SDDM login screen. Now, when I try it, it pairs to my phone successfully but fails after RSTP handshake, and says my PC could not be reached and to check the allowed ports. This happens even on a local area network with no firewall. Help would be appreciated, I've been going mad trying to figure this out. I've Googled the problem and read all the manuals but nothing I tried so far works.

I should clarify that I'm relatively new to Ubuntu. I used to use Windows, but since Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 10, I've been looking for other alternatives and chose Ubuntu based on a recommendation. I liked Ubuntu and got used to it easily, but something I've noticed is with games. I don't know if it's just me or what; this didn't happen with Windows before. I wanted to play Spore, and when I installed it, it ran absurdly slowly. It definitely can't be my PC, because I have a powerful PC with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2090, and Spore is a 2008 game that barely uses any resources. Is Ubuntu just not made for gaming, or am I doing something wrong?

I haven’t seen many solid breakdowns of this tool or the quirks involved in configuring it in a way that actually makes sense. This video clears things up and gives a straight comparison to Raw Accel on Windows for anyone moving to Linux and looking to replicate the same feel with maccel.

Im doing it. Im going with bazzite and watching tutorials and reading forums and warnings and the more I thought on it and the more I got upset with windows I just couldn't stay on it. THANK YOU to everyone who replied to my couple of threads and gave me advice and info and honestly Im nervous and excited!

I don't understand why this isn't a bigger question. It has been asked before by others, but was not really answered.

I have an old game on CD that works in Mint/Winetricks, in the physical CD-ROM drive. In Winetricks I just use "open Explorer" then use the autorun on the cd, and it installed perfectly, and plays, too.

But I can't figure out how to use the same winetricks to install a game that has no physical disc, I just have the .iso file. I don't want to burn a .iso file to a physical disc.

How can I make winetricks handle a .iso file with the same ease and finesse it demonstrates with a physical CD-ROM disc?

If this is the wrong question entirely -- I am guilty of that plenty -- how would you go from a .iso file you got from myrient to the game being installed and you are now playing in in Linux Mint using Winetricks?

Game will be live in a few hours. It's a parkour/backflip simulator. Add it to your wishlist if you're interested.

I bought a LG 4k Oled B5 TV that has freesync support, VRR 120hz, but no display port.

My bazzite PC is a Ryzen 7600 with a RX7600 OC, so it can't play 4k.

I never had a 4k tv before. Should I just configure Bazzite/Steam to use 1080p and freesync and that's it? I hear about upscale, about no VRR on Linux using HDMI, but i'm a little lost.

So this is a really annoying (and frankly somewhat niche) bug I've been poking at for a while. Basically with games that display a splash window -- often but not exclusively games that run EAC, such as The Finals, ARC Raiders, or Helldivers 2 -- that initial splash screen will be contained within the Gamescope window, but it would then disappear and while the game process will continue running in the background, that specific window will never become visible, almost like gamescope 'loses' the game window after the splash screen disappears. i've not used gamescope on my desktop because of this, which sucks cuz gamescope does some handy things.

This seems to be an issue especially on wlroots-based compositors such as Sway or Labwc, which is what I use.

There's an issue in the gamescope github tracking this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1673

After not worrying about it for a long while, I decided to try to make it work, mostly to address an issue of my mouse escaping occasionally from ARC Raiders in full screen (even with 'capture mouse in full screen' enabled in winecfg)

I was able to get it to work with the following combination:

GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f --force-grab-cursor --backend sdl -- %command%

Note: I also have "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" set as a global env.

I suspect it might be that GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY option that did it, I didn't have that set and I'd never come across it before. I still need to test more games, but it seems like this has done well for ARC Raiders and The Finals at least.

I'm currently on Windows with an RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and R7 5700X3D, playing in 1440p and the experience is great. I use optimized settings for my games (generally the best settings we can find from benchmarkers), DLSS is better than native, and this card has a lot of features like the RTX Super Resolution for watching low res videos. The 8GB VRAM works, sometimes I have to lower the textures to medium but it's not a problem, and I never had to use DLSS Balanced yet (Mostly DLSS Quality) with my optimized settings.

But when I see where Windows is going ; Copilot / AI, Recall, Argentic, Cloud, Bloatwares, Telemetry, Ads, Integration of bing in Windows Search, Updates that restore the bloatwares, hidden checkboxes automatically selected after a Windows update to upload users’ private files to OneDrive, GamePass etc, I just want to get an AMD GPU and switch on Linux.

I already used Linux Mint in the past with my old RX 5600 XT (but for "fun") ; it was a great experience, the graphics drivers were kernel integrated, so I just had to do system updates and it was very fast compared to Windows where I have to update de system, the apps, the chipset and the drivers, reboot for each update, etc.

Actually I'm just thinking about to go back on AMD but I don't know which GPU to choose. I could get an RX 7800 XT which would be 100% enough because I mostly play with optimized graphics settings (even if I have the power) and I'm not an elitist, but the RX 9070 would be a better choice because of FSR 4 and because it will surely get the 3 next FSR release which could make this GPU works and years and years with it's 16 GB.

Also I don't have problem with games. Even if I am on Windows, I am boycotting games that want to take the control of my PC like Battlefield 6 and Valorant, I also boycott Call OF Duty as this licence is destroying gaming. The Finals and CS2 are playable, ARC Raiders is too, and 90% of solo games too, so thanks I'm good.

What I would like some help with would be the choice of the GPU (max 600€), an alternative to RTX Super Resolution and some tips to customize Linux Mint and make it more modern and beautiful than Windows 11 / as good as Mac OS but without copying it. I also would like to know if my DAC (TRN Black Pearl) would work on Linux.

Thanks,
