SPTarkov stuttering

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 May 2024 - 12:00pm

Just coming by to ask if you guys who have tried playing SPTarkov on Linux have also experienced stutters? The game seems to be running fine, but randomly every a couple of seconds I get lag spikes that drop the FPS by 10-20, which makes the game really unpleasant to play.

This is not a specs issue probably, becuase I run the game smoothly (60-90 fps without stutters on the more optimized maps, fuck Streets lol) on windows.

Wondering if there can be anything done to fix this, as I really would prefer to play the game on Linux.

SteamVR 2.5 released with multiple Linux fixes

Gaming on Linux - 8 May 2024 - 11:11am
After a couple of Beta releases, Valve has now launched the latest stable release of SteamVR which brings in the recent Linux improvements.

How often do you need to fix performance in games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 May 2024 - 11:04am

I have switched from windows a week ago. I have used a linux before but never have daily driven it until now. I am currently using EndevourOS. My experiance thus far has been great, however the only somewhat lacking area is my gaming performance. I have a 13th i7 and 4060 Lenovo Laptop. I have installed Nvidia propierty drivers. I get +/- 20 fps less then on windows.

I have found a few resources/guides on how to improve performance from the EndevourOS forum and linux gaming wiki which I intend to follow when I have some free time.

Basically I would like to know how often would I need to be tinkering to get good performance or is this largely a once in awhile thing. I am contemplating switching to something like Nobara if I have to often tinker to get close to windows performance as when I have time to play games, I dont want to be trying to improve performance.

Prey and Dishonored 2 crashes (Proton experimental and 9)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 May 2024 - 9:18am

Just this last week, Prey will load, but try to start a game and it immediately crashes with a memory error. Same for Dishonored 2. Both from the same developer.

All other games seem fine so far.

Anyone else seeing an issue? I don't see an uptick of errors when I search. I've run steam with logging, but honestly I don't understand the output.

Question about Bazzite Desktop image and Proton GE 9-3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 May 2024 - 9:17am

Hey, maybe someone with more knowledge can help me. I saw that Bazzite uses Gamescope and I was wondering if on a Desktop Image for my desktop, would there be conflict/moving/deleting of files if I use Proton GE 9-3 with Desktop/Gamemode when I switch back and forth? I saw in the recent Proton GE there is this command `COPYPREFIX=1`. It says Steam auto applies -steamdeck when you enter Big Picture/Gamemode and I'm worried about everything getting moved or deleted. I'll provide a link below, I'm not quite sure I understand what is happening so I figured maybe someone else would have more insight. I'd appreciate any help.

Nouveau GSP Hardware Decode

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 May 2024 - 4:55am

* and Encode.

With all the excitement about NVK and Nova drivers, is there any news or plans for an implementation of open source hardware decoding for GSP enabled GPUs? If I have any chance of switching I'd need VAAPI implemented directly or Vulkan video with VAAPI implemented on top of it, and the ability to use that in OBS.
