Another biweekly development release for the Windows compatibility layer is here, with Wine 9.8 now available.

I've been experiencing this issue for about a week. Would really appreciate any guidance on troubleshooting steps. Would love to either solve the issue, or file an issue in the right place(s).

Issue Summary:

Overwatch 2 begins to stutter after about 90 minutes of gameplay (specific time varies). Once the stuttering has begun, each keyboard input freezes the game for ~50ms, making the game practically unplayable. The game does not crash, but will not relaunch properly after closing.

Details:

• Stuttering behavior begins after about 90 minutes of gameplay. Running the game idle does not induce the issue. Running the game with stuff happening (e.g. workshop benchmark code with a bunch of bots doing stuff) does not induce the issue.

• Only key presses passed into the game cause a stutter. If the game window is not focused, key presses do not cause stutter. Binding a mouse click to one of my keyboard keys does not cause a stutter. Using a different keyboard did not impact the behavior. Toggle keys like caps lock, scroll lock, or num lock do not cause stutter.

• The stuttering is preceded by about 90 seconds of 100% GPU utilization (vs. normal 70%), then the stuttering begins, and the high GPU utilization continues for about 60 more seconds before returning to normal.

• Spamming keyboard inputs to create stutter reduces GPU utilization to ~45%.

• Perhaps unrelated: Attempting to relaunch the game after the stuttering has begun often (but not always) causes Pipewire-pulse to crash with error messages like ...pipewire-pulse[3158]: mod.protocol-pulse: client 0x55c51ba0a350 [Overwatch.exe]: ERROR command:-1 (invalid) tag:19 error:25 (Input/output error). One message for each playback and recording device an application is using (e.g. two messages for OBS, one for Firefox).

Logs:

• dmesg:

Hi guys, I recently bought Mass Effect LE on Steam, but I can't play it at all.

I tried all the suggestions on protondb like switching to proton 7.0-6, experimental or GE, but I can't get past the EA screen. I know that EA sometimes breaks compatibility with proton on a whim, so is there any way I can get past the EA launcher?

I read other people's posts who have the same problem, but nobody seems to have a clear solution.

Thank you all in advance.

Hello, I'm trying to get the dualshock 4 touchpad to input directly into the emulated DS touchscreen instead of functioning as a desktop mouse. Is there any way of doing this?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to get FFXIV working on Ubuntu 22.04 using the Snap version of Steam. My FFXIV account is also using a Steam Service Account, and it seems that the FFXIVLauncher Flatpak will not detect my Steam account when Steam is installed as a Snap.

Currently I'm attempting to run the game just purely from Steam, and have tried various different Proton versions, including the latest 3 GE-Proton versions. When clicking on Play in the official launcher, I get the following error:

I've been trying to research this, and come up with some solutions, but I'm coming up blank on this one. Any advice, support etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou!

Hey guys. So I've been playing Jedi Survivor for the past few weeks. After a tiny bit of figuring out which version of Proton I should use (experimental) the game was working great and the only issue I was having was the odd crash to desktop. I believe that happened about two or three times in the first 14 hours in which I had played.

After the last time it crashed, it would no longer launch from Steam, and the EA app would launch instead. Ultimately, I ended up fixing that by verifying local files for the game in Steam. I was then able to play for several more hours until I turned my rig off and went to bed.

Now, I'm trying to launch the game again and it is again having the same issue where the EA app launches instead of the game when I try to launch it via Steam. This time verifying local files is not solving the problem. I've noticed that when it does not spend time building Vulkan shaders before "Preparing the game", then the EA app will launch instead of the game. I've tried different versions of Proton and nothing has solved the problem.

I'm about to try reinstalling the game but ultimately if I can't get it to launch, I will have no recourse but to boot into Windows. I don't really want to do that. This is why I dual boot, but I'd much rather not have to.

I've read a few threads around the internet suggesting that this problem is actually kind of common and often does not stay solved. Most of the threads are old and almost all of them involve Windows so they don't help much. Does anyone have any ideas in case reinstalling does not solve the problem?

EDIT: I suppose I should mention I'm running Linux Mint 23.1 with the kisak mesa PPA so I have the latest Mesa drivers for my RX7800XT and kernel 6.8.8.

Hello, everyone!

I managed to make the game work with the help of Lutris and Proton GE 9.4, I don't have the games for windows issue, the game runs smoothly at 60fps and it looks beautiful, but for some reason the characters don't have dialog audio whatsoever, is there a solution for this....? (The game audio works fine, even the intro video has full audio, music and dialogue, but the game itself doesn't have any dialogue or music, I also tried all the audio settings in-game)

I have tried using multiple iterations of Wine & Proton (System 9.0 Wine, Wine GE 8, Proton 7, Proton 9, Proton Experimental, Proton GE 8.3, Proton GE 9.4), and have used it with compatibility for Windows 7 & Windows 10, and the result is the exact same.

I use Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3 and have a Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 with the Mesa drivers.

Here's the log file of the last run i made: https://pastebin.com/ddnBwmvh

Please, LMK...

Thanks!

Hey all! Quick question: I'm running Pop OS 22.04. I'm getting ready to do a fresh install. I'm backing up various things. I use a Razer Tartarus to play WoW, and I use Input Remapper to remap the Tartarus.

Does anyone know if there's a way to back up/export my presets from Input Remapper? I've been looking but haven't found one.

Thanks!

For reference I am using EndeavorOS, AMD Ryzen 5 3500 6-Core Processor, Radeon RX 5500/5500M / Pro 5500M GPU

CS2 started crashing for me on May 2, after some sleuthing around (and getting a tip from a very helpful Valve moderator on github), it seems that the issue may be caused by latest linux-amd kernel release.

I am currently downgrading to linux-amd 6.8.v.8-2 (which was orphaned on April 29, just before I started getting crashes). I'll post an update if downgraded kernel fixes the crash.

I'd like to play some Lego games, does local co-op work smoothly or not? I'm unsure if the game would recognize an external controller or keyboard for playing.

Reposting this as the last time I accidentally gave it a title that made absolutely no sense.

Recently, I have been having issues getting games to start through proton. Whenever I try to start any game, using any version of proton, and using either the flatpak or runtime version of Steam, the game will crash.

The game will, if it has one, crash to it's own crash reporting screen. There are never any errors in the Proton logs, and when starting Steam through a terminal, there are never any errors reported there either.

Hades is the only game I have installed that showed any specific details:

I can start games that are native without any issue (such as Stardew Valley and Terraria).

Has anyone had an issue like this? I feel that I don't know enough about these types of issues to know how to continue troubleshooting.

I've been playing the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time PC Port (SoH) on Mint and it's been a lot of fun. I've been using my PS5 controller which works well enough, except for when it comes to using the C-Buttons. They're mapped to the right stick by default, and its very easy to mistakenly do the wrong input.

Now, I suppose I could map them to the D-Pad and call it a day, but I figured I'd take the time to ask this question in hopes of not only finding an answer for myself, but for helping out others with this niche use-case.

I have a Hyperkin N64 to USB which works decently with Rosalie's Mupen GUI, but on Steam and using the native build of the PC Port not every input is read correctly, or in some cases aren't read at all.

Has anyone found success using N64 controllers on Linux?

Hi,

Is there a tool similar to dxvk or vkd3d, to translate directx to opengl instead of vulkan?

I've tried between 3 headsets and I don't know why this is happening. All my friends say that they can hear themselves really loudly from my mic. Then there is usually a very loud feedback effect that destroys your ears.

I can't figure why this is happening. Any advice or tips would be glorious.

Here's a video of the mic audio levels. You can see it match with whatever audio is playing on the pc, as well as ambient audio.

I have a 50mm headamame headset with a mic. I have an aux splitter to plug into my mic-in plug, and audio out plug on my pc.

Hello, I've been trying to play Minecraft java in my laptop.

The problem is that my old laptops over heat and I want to use my newer laptop as it works better.

How can I run two instances of the game? The idea is that one plays on the tv with a kbm and the other one on the laptop screen and a kbm.

​

If there is a way to do it requiring a controller, please do not comment it as I do not own any of them.

Thanks!

When I launch it, multiplayer works fine and the game is completely fine, but for some reason it won't load my data. How can I figure out what the issue is?

Running AMD Ryzen 5500 and Rx 570. Using vulkan-radeon and mesa on an X11 setup with XFCE on Arch linux. Everything up to date. I am not able to get past the valve logo. verified files and everything. I am able to launch the game with proton but unable to join any games due to a VAC error (plus obviously I rather run native)

Here is the crash Dump
